Bowlers - Bats Matchups

[vidiq]

Kohli dominated Rabada in sa pitches who is way more lethal than donald .
So it will be a easy win for Kohli -8/10

Kohli is the greatest overseas batsman to tour South Africa (, atleast in modern era)

 

[Johan]

Kohli vs Allan Donald in Durban - Donald. He was not an idiot, and worked out batsmen pretty quickly. 5th stump weakness will be found out pretty soon.

There is no fifth stump weakness as long as Kohli's reflexes/speed is at peak.

Steve Smith vs Wasim Akram in Perth - Wasim is a swing bowler, not a seam or a express bowler (although express at pomp). The bounce and lack of swing will work against him. Smith

Pretty sure Wasim can swing it in Perth.
