Current form, it was asked of. Not overall average.

He is about par as McCullum in batting standards.
Warner just scored a hundred against South Africa, so he's better than McCullum...

Steve smith just scored a ton vs sa... KP hasn't so is clubbie smith better than KP?  Maybe stokes is better than Warne too? After all, Warne didn't score a ton

South Africa's attack is better than India's. That a fact. Whether you like it or not.

Kevin Pietersen has 4 Test hundreds against SA.

Steven a Smith might be a better Test player than Kevin Pietersen at this moment in time as KP is retired...

And what did Warner average against the same Indian attack?

25? 30?

Didn't see him getting to 3 figures, let alone 300.

I think it's also time for me bow out as well.

Warner's highest Test score 180 was against India. It was the fastest Test hundred by an opener. Warner's got his place in the record books...

How on gods sweet earth are you continuing to say McCullum is rubbish?

Double ton followed by a triple in the very next match. You my friend are an idiot!

Aside from bullying India and Bangladesh, McCullum is a substandard a Test player...

It must he heart breaking for you. But stats don't lie.

Blah blah blah, you really do talk out of your (No Swearing Please) Gerry. You seem to consistently be putting everyone and everything down, to be honest it's boring with a capital B.

Chuffed to see McCullum get his 300, any triple ton must take some serious stamina and concentration. A really nice guy with an attacking captaincy style I'd like to see England employ ;-)

I'll say this is one hell of a knock to take the game away from us and though his test career hasn't been that consistent (a standard most test great test batsmen can be measured to) he's played with remarkable self control and patience. Kudos to him if he can play like this in matches to come.

It's pointless trying to have a discussion when Gerry has something like this in his head.
I can see that McCullum isn't anywhere near the best Test batsman, although I have rated his change of format as miraculous! Is this BMc finally finding the correct formula to be able to bat in all formats well?
Who knows. And granted that India do not have the strongest bowling attack! But you still need to keep focused to stay in that long and I appreciate the fact that he has batted with the kind of concentration and application that usually eludes him, as he is obviously known for his T20 exploits!
But credit where credit is due! He batted superbly! Yes he was dropped but I suspect that even Hammond and The Don were dropped on half chances on their way to the same feat!

IMO it's not about who is the best Test batsman...McCullum is nowhere near even close to Bradman and Hammond (only one or two are!)
But when someone bats with as much patience and concentration as he has, and has batted so well, he deserves the respect of everyone on here except for Gerry as it was History being made!
When someone does not have the respect or the courtesy to even say, "Well batted" that shows a huge character trait in my eyes! They either feel bitter about something, or they are not a nice person!
It's sad to see!
Now go and have your say Gerry!

So you can't improve? His stats are not great but over the last few years he has improved out of sight. His average over the last couple of years has gone from below 30 to high 30's, I'm going to say he keeps getting better and his stats will also improve.

So a substandard test player has scored 2 doubles and now a triple? I'm going to assume your at your keyboard having a good old laugh and your actually just a joker with a great sense of humor. Unless this is the case then your are truly the most delusional person I have ever had a conversation with.
