I mean, Miandad just played in an era of more draws... Some of the good inns he has could have definitely won games if teams actually played faster

Sorry you can't just take highlights and ignore an abominable tour in 2014.

They were too flat to ever have a result.

Yeah actually he double ton he scored in England was intentionally I believe to outscore England and leave the result either a win or draw.

I just don't rate Miandad's England record whatsoever though.

Frankly Kohlis Aussie record has the same issue.
Johan

True but atleast he has a stellar hundred in 2018.

Whatever rating you give it it's better than Kohli in England averaging 33, with a horror tour, ATG tour, pour tour and two flop WTC finals.
Frankly Miandad in WI also should be looked at again. He had an early career tour he flopped and then a great tour in 88.

That's the lowest scoring series in history of test cricket for a middle order batter (3-5), with min 10 inns. Overall it's the third lowest behind Warner and Sarwate

Kohli is not top 5 in tests.

What's worse is that Kohli had already started his golden run by then. I would be willing to overlook 2014 if he had followed up 2018 with another good tour to show his issues are laid to rest.

Sanga ahead of Dravid I think.

Nah.

I think it's debatable, but I have Dravid slightly ahead

Miandad and Younis deserve to be higher than Kohli. On ability, Kohli should have been higher, but had a disappointing last third of his career. Needs to be rightly penalized for this. He had scores of underwhelming or crap series. An average of 46 doesn't lie.

Sanga more aggressive and better against pure pace and spin for me.

Dravid better against swing and also against medium pace... Even high quality medium pacers too
