What do you think of Virat Kohli?

[Prince EWS]

This is definitely the worst one:

The woke Jono
The broke weldone
The joke Shri

Still works.

 

[Prince EWS]

Nah in Shri's defence he said 'are'. Not really a prediction imo.

Hmm it is Shri though; he does tend to rate players almost purely based on how good he thinks they'll be many years later.

Fairy muff.

In fact what makes it worse is that Shri rarely doesn't rate an U19 star highly. The one time he didn't it was Kohli.

TBH I have recently come to the conclusion that I am very bad in long-term cricket predictions.

That doesn't mean I'll stop though - really rate KL Rahul and Kusal Mendis from the younger bunch; and Rabada, Ngidi, Shivam Mavi among pace bowlers.

Taking on some real risk with that Rabada pick

I think he needs a kid or too. He's too arrogant at the moment.

I think ever more highly of Kohli seeing how much he cares about test cricket: https://sports.ndtv.com/england-vs-...-the-most-beautiful-format-of-cricket-1907925

"I think that if you really understand the sport, if you really love the sport, you understand Test cricket and you understand how exciting it is," Kohli was quoted as saying by icc-cricket.com.

"I cannot explain to you the job satisfaction that you get when you do well in Test cricket, because you know how demanding it is," Kohli added.


"It's the most beautiful format of the game. I don't think it's going to go anywhere. I don't even see it getting compressed to four days. It should not be tinkered with."

Ranking VVS below that filthy corrupt fixing **** azhar is unforgivable.

If it was not for cheating, He could have score more runs at better avg.. Shall we rate him higher?

You can't start rating players on random arbitrary 'what if' measures, or else despite a 30-odd average, Amir is the greatest Pakistani bowler ever.

I liked Azhar, incredible player, but even then he wasn't better than Laxman.

 

[vcs]

Yeah. VVS was the better batsman than Azhar even if you don't deduct points from the latter for his corruption. Made more clutch runs, rescued us on countless occasions and could stand up in tough conditions better than pretty much every other batsman in that lineup.

His only weakness was converting and piling on the centuries when in form, Azhar was better at that. Laxman didn't really punish any opposition with a string of huge scores, except Australia in the early '00s.

Which incidentally he was very good at doing in domestic cricket. Probably getting slotted at #6 as a rescue expert had something to do with it.
