Test Top 5s (as of now)

[Agar]

Why are you so confrontational, honestbharani?

 

[srbhkshk]

On a batting friendly pitch against a good attack, it's not weird to prefer Kohli above the others though.

This is actually a pretty good point.

 

[Groundking]

Smith>>Root>Williamson>>>Kohli>Everybody else.

 

[srbhkshk]

Smith>>Root>Williamson>>>Kohli>Everybody else.

The difference between Smith and the other 3 is far greater than the difference in those 3.

 

[TheJediBrah]

But you are still posting. so how?

Could you stop posting like a 6 year old child for like a day? Just to see how it goes?

What those posts deserve, Agar.

 

[honestbharani]

FTR, I am not saying it is a bad thing for someone to not like Kohli. He can be a dick and I can totally get why opposition fans may not take a liking to him.

 

[Black_Warrior]

He's not in his country's first XI.

Saha is better than Mushfiqur on both batting and keeping. And Jadeja pips Mathews in the all-rounders list as Mathews doesn't take any wickets nowadays.

 

[Daemon]

I'll put Morris as 5th all rounder. Can bowl and bat. The pace he came up with recently in that ODI was quite some thing. Don't like Morris but he has a fair bit of talent.

Gotta love pratters

 

[Zinzan]

Root is so much better than Williamson, not sure on what metric you can put him ahead.

I'm struggling to know if you're actually being serious here. The statement that either of them is 'so much' better than the other, when they're so damn even seems utterly ludicrous.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Anyone else notice that Smith, Root, Williamson and Kohli all kind of look like underdeveloped man-children?

I wonder if this helps their batting

 

[honestbharani]

My tests top 5 batsmen at the moment: Smith >> Root = Williamson > Kohli = Azhar

 

[Flem274*]

Smith is definitely the best right now, not by miles but ahead. Hopefully the battle will continue to see saw in future so CWers can all hate each other forever rather than chill and watch the cricket like jono did.

 

[ImpatientLime]

never accept if jono asks you if you'd like to kohli and chill.

 

[MW1304]

Saha is better than Mushfiqur on both batting and keeping. And Jadeja pips Mathews in the all-rounders list as Mathews doesn't take any wickets nowadays.

Absolutely not.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Batting no, keeping absolutely yes

 

[MW1304]

Batting is what I was referring to, really. His keeping is good enough that he's the better player. Classic Bangla underrating.
