[Mad max]

Amla has reached 5000 Test runs in just 61 Tests! He's the only batsman to average 50+ in both Tests (50.50*)&ODIs (59.55). This is why they call him The Mighty # !

Both formats*

and till now he has hit only 6 sixes in his total 5k test runs

behind Neil Harvey who hit only one six in his total 6k test runs

What a Strange fact

Amla is one of the best player right now.

Correct it

BEST PLAYER IN BOTH THE FORMATS RIGHT NOW

In ODI he might have some contention with Virat but in Tests Right upront

THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD IN TEST CRICKET RIGHT NOW

HASHIM AMLA

Still I feel Amla is better than Kohli.
Also I am a die hard fan of Kohli but still I think Amla is better and that's why Amla is one of the best player right now according to me.

Of course Amls is better than Kohli but he has some contention with kohli in ODI thats it

but Amla has some problems with Swinging Ball..

If Starc would have been there he would have caused some serious threat to Amla

Zaheer has success against Amla many times
