    Kane Williamson not in league of other elite test batters

    Both Amla and Cook have played significant knocks in Australia, India, South Africa, Sri Lanka and England which Williamson has lacked. Williamson is better in home conditions and against weaker nations such as Windies, Zimbabwe etc. He has been excellent vs Pakistan too but is that enough? I...

    Mitchell Starc vs Trent Boult

    Tough one. Boult would have been better if he didn't took break and retired early. Starc on other hand has played everywhere, and often found himself getting picked in conditions where most pacers are likely to fail anyways, shown excellent fitness and doesn't skip tests. So I might give Starc a...

    Kane Williamson not in league of other elite test batters

    Good batting by Ravindra. NZ need to fight back, this is a golden opportunity to win, can't leave it. They won't get anything as good.

    Kane Williamson not in league of other elite test batters

    Perhaps Williamson should demote himself in the batting position as he has given enough evidence that he is not elite test batter away from home via his awful away stats where he has placed himself well below many names even if we do a filter from 01 Jan 2010 onwards. Do make sure you go through...

    Ben Stokes vs Kevin Pietersen

    Yes, I would rate him a level below KP. KP stood up against the very best, Australian team which had McGrath Warne were invincible almost and he contributed heavily in that Ashes 2005 win).

    Ben Stokes vs Kevin Pietersen

    His record is good only in South Africa, Bangladesh and Windies. If we are weighing his bowling performance vs borderline minnows like Bangladesh and Windies( even here the record is just okayish with bat avg of 34 and bowl avg of 33.5) and struggle to mention his performance vs Australia...

    Ben Stokes vs Kevin Pietersen

    What has he done with ball outside England?He averages 33.5 outside England with bowl and 32 with bat outside England. Except South Africa and the minnowish WI and BD, he has failed everywhere.

    All-Time India XIs - A re-run

    I have not followed this thread so don't know but just wondering could Kumble have been a captain instead of MSD in Tests? MSD's captaincy is not rated highly in Tests.

    Ben Stokes vs Kevin Pietersen

    Stokes just keeps failing outside England and South Africa. Very hard to understand why would everyone rate him higher than KP. He should atleast perform and average well in Australia atleast. He has the skill set to do that but what matters is whether he has done it or not and the answer is...

    Kumar Sangakkara vs Steve Waugh

    It's pretty tight. Probably Sangakkara although S Waugh's value will increase if you include captaincy and bowling.

    Why not have Gibbs open? He performed vs top teams in World Cup unlike Amla and played the greatest ODI knock of all-time.

    Virat Kohli vs Ricky Ponting (Read OP)

    Virat was very bad for three years averaging in 20s but in last 1-2 year, he has rediscovered him,thanks to some flat decks on offer. Let's wait for a bit longer before concluding. Ponting is the answer as of now.

    Kane Williamson vs Joe Root

    So, Williamson is again going to miss a test match away from home vs top nation. I am sure his fans will continue to rate him highly because he will play 1-2 test in India and then cash on heavily vs mediocre teams at home next year to preserve his test average to 55, which will allow his fans...
