But what about Kohli�s record on determining the outcome of a game.?

Is there a comparative statistic out there that compares batsmen to others like this? Please share.

You mean like the number of hundreds in run chases he gets, or his average?
Or pretty much any other batting statistic!
The naysayers will get to see in summer quite how special Kohli is.

I said previously I'm not overly concerned with numbers and averages, but Kohli in England in a bunny.

Let�s hope so!!

Although I�ve got Friday at Edgbaston in the Eric Hollies tickets for the England India test Kohli Ton there and I reckon the roof would come off!

I think Kholi will be very motivated to do well over here because he knows some great Indian players have seen runs in English conditions as the pinnacle

Also the series could be much closer than previous ones have been

kholi knows his history he will want to be up there with Sachin and Dravid(the two best I've seen).

Whether he is or could be as good as those two is up for argument I suppose

I think he is a fabulous player myself

It all depends on the pitches we give India. If we leave some grass on them then I don't think Kohli will do that well as I still think he is vulnerable to the moving ball.

However lets not forget we have seen some very ordinary flat wickets in recent times at Lord's and The Oval. Where I think Kohli could really fill his boots.

I also don't think you can underestimate that he will have 6 white ball games before the test series to get used to things better.

Even if Kohli fails in England again, he will still be a good player regardless in years to come. He himself does not want to be compared to Sachin, as they have played in different eras. Secondly, scoring 100s is not easy irrespective of the pitches made in India or made for India. Its just talent and god has gracefully given him that. Hope he continues to do well and I am 100% sure he does not play for records. I felt Sachin did, just my opinion.

Perfect morning for SA so far. The tail also getting some important runs alongside AB
Big lead already with the Aussies looking deflated

csnew · « **Reply #188 on:** March 11, 2018, 09:57:36 AM »

Lead of 139...that was some knock by AB. He really is getting better with age. Can�t recall him being in trouble much or playing and missing

Also showing his class by not complaining to the umps about the Aussies bowling down the leg side - can you imagine smith, Kohli or root in that situation. They�d be all over the umpires moaning

Smith and kholi for me are the two best batsman in the world for me by a long way. Abv is quality but Smith turned himself into the best batsman of his generation from being a leg spinner who bats at 7 or 8 for NSW. Kholi you cannot just say plays for himself last ok as some have said the run chases he always orcastrates. Funny I always want batters to Lay for themself you tend to get the best out of them too.

Kholi wins a serious amount of games with that singlemindedness thirst for runs

The last one Hazelwood bowled was ridiculous, the leniency for wides in test cricket is beyond a joke

When de Villiers is batting it's reminiscent of a peak Michael Jordan or Ayrton Senna. It's like a different level of greatness.

Smith, Kohli, Root and Williamson are all very much great but for my money de Villiers is a level above. Again feel free to disagree but the game will be much poorer when he departs.

Biggest fan of AB and love watching him back but you could argue when the pressure is on I.e world cup�s, knock out games and 4th innings chases he doesn�t have the bottle. Can�t remember too many high pressure finals and chases where AB�s played a match winning knock.

Kohli, smith and KW have done that for their respective sides

South Africa don't make it to the finals, that's why

Left arm spin the key to get smith out clearly.

Apparently Warner been accused of ball tampering because of all the tape and bandaging on his hand.
