What about ABD?

Darren Stevens scores a big one. Only thing, he is 45 years old. To be frank, it isn’t a one off thing, this was Steven’s 35th ton. Furthermore, after this innings he went on dismiss Marnus Labuschagne.

ICC Women's T20I Cricketer of the Year – 2012, 2013
You watch this video and think that it has got all the classics in place. A pull to begin with, Couple of straight drives, and another two dances down the track , that is when Sach pulls out the cut. That movement in the pitch. Slightly back and across, getting in top of the ball. This is the maestro at its best.
When Zulu came out to open
Back in the 90s, one fine day South Africa decided to open with Herschelle Gibbs and Lance ‘Zulu’ Klusener. Lance was perhaps the most enigmatic cricketer from the 90s. Sheer class.
For those who love 90s cricket as much as I do, an opening partnership of Klusener and Gibbs is such a mouthwatering prospect. Just 138 seconds of pure entertainment, this. Too bad @hershybru copped a bad decision that ended this entertaining p'ship. But that six over covers🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/jWaI8ES2Uy

In other news!
A dangerous bowler, who along with Wasim Akram formed one of the most potent pace attacks in cricket 🔥
If you tell me that you've seen anything weirder on a cricket field than this, I'd find it really hard to believe.@Roela52 pulls the ball and the ball flies over point for 6. It would've been still ok if it had gone over third man but over point at Centurion, not a tiny ground. pic.twitter.com/GXMujmyhOn
