Michael Clarke vs Virat Kohli

[Silver Silva]

Two stylish and confident batsmen

Kohli, not close

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Kohli. It seems like most batsmen from this era are going to end up underrated.

 

[DrWolverine]

Kohli is going to end up with an average of 45 and cricket fans in the future will be surprised why people rated him so highly

Clarke has got massacred in this poll so Kohli still highly rated

Don't think it's Kohli who's highly rated. Pretty sure Kohli is generally rated as the worst of the Fab 4 now.

It's just that Clarke is rated very low.

I said in the future. 50 years from now people will remember the numbers and not the style.

Kohli will be rated highly no matter what.

Long time no see!

Mooo

Busy with work these days

And no cricket to watch at the moment (Everything is at night for me)

SA2025 I guess I can follow, loosely

 

[subshakerz]

Clarke averages 39 away from home.

Kohli 41.

Clarke just a bigger home basher.

I don't follow SA20.

Who are going to see all those?

Look at tennis. Martina had to face so many problems - escape from a communist country, playing with FBI protection, playing in the same era as an all time great, having pretty much every record but today many tennis fans say Serena is better because she won more Slams

We are in the age of ChatGPT…I reckon in 50 years time it’s gonna be wild at analyzing videos

If numbers really were everything, Barrington would be a top 5/10 batter. But he's not. Why? Because of his playing style.

Numbers aren’t everything but they do play an important role. Ken Barrington is a top ten batsman and one of the best of all time.

Very few would agree.
