Didn’t expect Kohli to fail to hit 10k.

This is a big stretch. Would make more sense to say the opposite (@Prince EWS ), ie Ponting played on until he was 38 IIRC and would look better in comparison if he retired 2 years younger like Kohli

It's not, because Ponting too had a great run before declining into hopelessness that was somewhat dulled by being able to bat on good batting pitches. I'm not too concerned with the exact periods of time here, and I don't think anyone should be nitpicking this.

Why did you mention it then lol

I mentioned it because of the similarity in career arcs, not because Ponting played longer or scored more runs or was better and so on. I thought it was a neat point to make when it came to the both of them.

Is this the cricketing equivalent of those Lincoln/ JFK coincidence/ comparison things?

Having known him personally, would Lincoln approve of Kohli's antics?

Hmm very interesting

I'd like a similar career break down of Michael Vaughan thank you very much. Preferably in this same graphic but with 3 columns

No PC on CW will ever come close to this.

Hasn't been at his best in Test cricket from 2020 onwards: 69 Innings for 2028 runs at an average of 30.72, with nine 50s and 3 100s.

But overall, a good Test career. I always got the feeling he loved going into battle against the opposition and thrived by firing his team India up - to make them play better.

I certainly enjoyed watching him play.

Has anyone checked in on jono? Hope he's doing ok.
