Kholi is the number 1 in the world in this format bar nobody

However I had a dream England to beat India in the final Jordan taking 4 wickets in the final

Come on England

Special mention to Shane watson thanks for the memories like or hate him a good player in all formats and with bat and ball

I would still say Gayle/AB are better, but he's much more easier on the eye to watch and doesn't rely on sheer power, much like Root...

Kohli! Master of taking the chase deep!

What in t20 I would put root closest not the other two but each to there own

[raza147]

kohli averages 51 in t20, de villers 23 and gayle 36 i think, kohli the best by far

[Wills]

Feel Smith missed a trick or two by not bowling out Zampa considering how India's difficulties against spin have been well-documented. No disrespect to West Indies, but I expect India to breeze into the final.

Re:Kohli
I'd say he's comfortably the best batsman in the second innings, but isn't quite there with the others you named in the first.

GOD IS REBORN!!!!!

Kohli averages 92 chasing a total

[it's_a_pudding]

I get their is a lot of pressure etc but it seems to me on a lot of these slower pitches players forget about the basics and Kohli for me has proven that face look how he hits through the v in comparison to other players and when the ball is over pitches he uses the pace to guide down to 3rd man or backward point. And anything short worked into leg side or the gaps. Simple but effective cricket. And completely agree about Watson sometimes it's a pleasure sitting back watching him drive a cricket ball. De Villiers is a gun and I think we would have seen more of him if he had been skipper and Gayle is too hot and miss for my liking. Root has potential to be great in all 3 formats but in 20/20s the quicker he realises that he doesn't have to overhit the ball he will go well. He needs to be the Williamson of the team.

He just makes it look so easy.

Think our resident Aussie might be quiet for a few days

Got nothing to be quiet about. We got beaten, by imo, the greatest limited overs batsman of all time.

Tip my hat to him and say different class fella

Great batting by Kohli and fantastic running between the wickets in the last few overs.

Feel sorry for Shane Watson, his warcry after getting Rohit Sharma's wicket was pretty inspiring. Taking Yuvi's catch and troubling Raina with a bouncer, this man brought his entire IPL experience into play and ensures aussie got break throughs. Unfortunately other bowlers couldn't get any wickets. Last match and this man gave his best for the team.

Irony is that both the teams actually slammed their opponents in warm up games. Eng beat NZ and India beat WI. However i think it would be NZ vs WI in the finals. Lets see ....

Fair play! Consider me wrong, ha.

[brokenbat]

Shocked that smith underbowled the spinners.

[smokem]

Not bowling out Zampa out and not using him in those final overs were costly errors in my opinion. Coulter-Nile is just too 2-dimensional for that situation (and in T20), bowling either too short or too full (but no yorkers). The Indian bowlers bowled a much better length - just short of the length - and let the pitch do the rest. The Aussie bowlers failed to find that length in those closing overs.

Australia needs to embrace spin in T20. This has been one of their downfalls in the T20 format. Smith's lack of experience in the T20 format may also have been a factor in those final overs.

But take nothing away from Kohli. What an awesome knock.
