TIK is Fatty McFatty but that's not the reason why he tires. It's the alleged smoking and attitude. He has plenty of power - that's not the issue here - the issue is longevity. Someone mentioned Watson & Gayle and how they score a lot of runs from boundaries. This is true but also look at how many more 100s they have. Scoring an ODI 100 is as much a fitness issue as a skills. In the PP overs you smoke some big hits and get a nice head-start but then 40s-80s typicall there's a lot of singles, and then in the PPs you have the stamina to not be tired and smoke some more boundaries.
Conclusion, keep your smoking restricted to 4s and 6s TiK and erm ease off the bhuna gosto and biryani.
BTW, nice analysis there.
