CAN he?

Sure he has the ability to... but purple patches don't last forever and he's 35 at the end of this year.... he mostly just play Tests anyway, so he has a good chance if everything is "perfect" for him....


But we all know.... life ain't perfect, so there is that..... and things go south quickly as a sportsman ages and goes past his prime..... good luck to him, nonetheless.

@NineMiles

will take him at the very least 2 years obviously based on the amount of test matches they play an the opponents....1000 runs per calendar year is quite a feat but no doubt he's a great one!
