That's outstanding, considering his age....

But I do think he has some flaws that can be exploited by really good bowlers, which is why I won't put him in with the great trio of batsmen, Lara, Tendulkar and Ponting.

Agreed mikesiva, but one can't scoff at those stats. At this rate only Tendulkar's record seems a distance away.
