What do you think of Virat Kohli?

Why not? You can't go wrong with choosing one of Hayden, Greenidge, Haynes or Ganguly as an Odi AT XI opener. Hayden is just my personal choice.
Don't question me when I ask you a question ****.

It's actually a close run thing who is the worse commentator out of Jaya and Hayden.

Hayden maybe just the worse of the two.
It's the opening combo in the nightmare commentary ODI XI:

Jaya
Hayden
D Jones
Shastri
Botham
Mo Matthews
Healy
Julian
Fleming
Waqar
McGrath

12th man: Willis

The side needs balance ffs.

How bad was Waqar when he did that commentary stint a while back? Just a Jayasuriya short of a Hayden.

de Villiers doesn't get enough ODI love from the Kohli fanboys here: Batting records | One-Day Internationals | Cricinfo Statsguru | ESPN Cricinfo

Remarkably those figures have got worse in the last 6 or so months.

Kohli is an incredible ODI batsman, and will probably go down as one of the greatest ever, but de Villiers will too and he doesn't get half the accolades Kohli does. Mostly the downhill skier tag is used, but while it may be somewhat true in tests, it's a pretty redundant one in ODI's IMO.

He was given due credit for the past 2-3 years with everyone rating him very highly. Its Kohli's time in the sun now so, yeah, let the dust settle before yapping further.

Would put RGD in the XI ahead of McGrath myself, I think the latter conducted himself pretty well this summer on TMS. Not sure if that's a sign of improvement over what he'd done down under or you just came to the opposite opinion though. I'll have Vaughan carry the drinks.

If I'm reading that correctly, only Tendulkar has more tons chasing than Kohli and even he has only 18 to Kohli's 11 in about four times as many innings.

Forkers averages 125 in chases, and his centures per innings is far higher than Kohli's.

Srsly, I've said it a few times now but Kohli's going to end his career with better ODI stats than Sachin.
