The Tier of Cricketers After Root, Williamson, Smith, Kohli

[SillyCowCorner1]

Shai Hope
Markram?
Kusal Mendis
Babar?

 

[Heboric]

Where does Quentin De Kock fit in all these 'tiers' floating around

 

[Red]

Tests?

I rank Pujara right up there with the best going around currently.

 

[S.Kennedy]

Bairstow wouldn't be far off.

 

[Slifer]

Shai hope hasn't done enough yet to be rated imo

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Tests?

I rank Pujara right up there with the best going around currently.

Bairstow wouldn't be far off.

Agree with both of these, add in Warner too who despite being crap away is close to an ATG in Australia.

 

[fredfertang]

In a couple of months, James Vince

 

[Daemon]

Azam's probably done less than Zulfiqar in tests atm

Oh, I see what happened. My intention when I created this thread was to try to find the new wave of young talent in the international game...


I wasn't trying to make it seem as a hierarchy; instead, I wanted to think of this as a horizontal shift. As time goes by, the once new breed turns old and new and fresh faces takes over.

 

[Gnske]

Kusal Mendis

Be serious now

Ah ok. Well in that case, assuming the cut off age is 23(?) I'd add Renshaw and Hameed to that list of 4 you've got. Not predicting amazing things for any of them but I think they'll all carve out respectable international careers.

I'd like to start listing down all the Indian young stars but we predicted great things for the last bunch like Zol, Chand and Apparajith and nothing has come of them as of yet, so I'll be holding back on those predictions. No doubt Shri will come in and advocate Shaw/Pant though.

i remember when Kohli, Raina and Rohit came onto the scene around the same time around 09 I tipped Raina to have the best career out of all of em

lol

 

[vcs]

Rabada
Kuldeep

[Athlai]

It begins after the first three

Match winning 176 against Starc,Hazlewood when the next highest was Smith's 55

1st Test, Australia tour of Sri Lanka at Kandy, Jul 26-30 2016 | Match Summary | ESPNCricinfo

Second fastest Sri Lankan to 1000 ODI runs,its just that bowlers have come up with set plans against him.Example, India bowling a just outside off stump length to Mendis during ODI series,and Hasan Ali bouncing him out.His shot selection is a concern, but without a shade of doubt best batting prospect in Sri Lanka at the moment

 

[randycricfreak]

David Warner
Jonny Bairstow
De Kock
Dhawan
Mathews
Azhar Ali

 

[randycricfreak]

Among the younger crop

Babr Azam- ODIs
Shai Hope
Kusal Mendis


Are pretty good taletns

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Hopefully Tom Latham will stop nicking off to the quicks and he'd be up there. He's a great player of spin.
