Kohli has fallen, he hasn't fallen that far
I think once a player has reached a certain point or “tier” there’s a point where they can’t fall past, no matter the decline. If Steve Smith has a big decline I don’t think I could end up rating him lower than Ponting for example. Kohli had already been that far ahead of Gooch imo.

Kohli is probably better, better than De Villiers too but he's a **** and it's fun to vote against him so who cares.

I say De Villiers is about Martin Crowe level, a little better due to actual feats against spin, two guys rated on their skill level and talent instead of the output.

I recently changed to Greenidge and Amla over Kohli. In general, I have become more appreciative of quality top 3 batsmen. Kohli would have struggled as an opener.

I place AB De Villiers alongside Martin Crowe, one of my all-time favourite Cricketers.

I place Javed Miandad behind Virat Kohli.

tell me whom I hate more?

ABD. Since he is better than Miandad who is better than Crowe, and Crowe is worse than Kohli in turn. So definitely ABD.

How so?

I literally hate Javed the most clearly I have bro behind Kohli, Crowe and De Villiers
He IS behind ABD pretty clearly. The fact you have ABD close to Crowe is worse. Not to mention, I don't particularly care for Javed.

Crowe's away record is a mixed bag. His first 3 years were poor. Unproven to spin. Still Great though, but ABD's away record is one of the best in business.
