    Viv Richards vs Virat Kohli

    He did play Lillee from mid 1970s to about 1983-84, quite a long time and this was the time Richards was at his best. Akram was the fastest druing 1985 to about 1988 and Viv has rated a delivery from Akram the fastest he ever faced (He did say the similar thing about Sylvester Clarke too)...

    Viv Richards vs Virat Kohli

    Most iditotic comment ever, there are tons of today's batters having stats similar to Viv but are way inferior to him including Kohli.

    Viv Richards vs Virat Kohli

    Kohli played on flat batting wickets with 65 metres boundaries, no swing bowling, two new balls, no great bowlers and comparing him to Viv who was the best batsman of his era by a mile. Kohli isn't even in the top 5 in test cricket for a long time now. Viv was way better than Virat

    Better Test Batsman::: A Border vs. S Waugh

    No doubt AB played against the Windies of 70s and 80s but he didn't play much against Waqar and Wasim at their peak, Donald, de Villiers and Pollock at their peak, Murali at his peak, and of course the Windies of 80s including Marshall, Walsh, Patterson, Ambrose, etc. These bowlers were deadly...
