Kohli best white ball cricketer ever for me. I know it is unfair to the older generation but he is so consistent it is silly.

A bit OTT unless you're discounting anyone who played ODI cricket with a red ball?

I had one of those as a kid

No, I stand fully by it. His ODI numbers are comparable to any player ever and his T20 record is just ridiculous.

 

[marc71178]

I'd question if he's even ahead of some of his peers but there's no way he's anywhere near Viv Richards for one from past times. Certainly wouldn't be in an all time ODI XI for me and would think he doesn't make a second XI.

 

[Pratters]

Yeah, to call Kohli the greatest is a bit crazy right now.

 

[91Jmay]

I'd love to see a justifiable ODI 2nd XI that doesn't include Kohli (unless he is in the 1st team obviously).

 

[Burner]

I would have him in my first XI if we are chasing. If we are batting first, I would still have him in my team for when we are chasing.

HIm and Sir Viv at 4 and 3 for me, Ponting 12th man.. easy peasy...

Can't wait to see Kohli to hit a form-slump and watch everyone drop him from the ATG ODI XI.

 

[Daemon]

He was in a minor slump by his standards pretty recently anyways

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah, his ODI form wasn't amazing prior to Aus series.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Amazing that Kohli has never played a Test against Pakistan.

We need to see more Tests between the two countries.

I'd love to see a justifiable ODI 2nd XI that doesn't include Kohli (unless he is in the 1st team obviously).

Considering him only for spots 3-5, I'd have Richards, Ponting, de Villiers, Lara and Jones as definitely ahead of him.

 

[Pratters]

Jones? Really?

 

[91Jmay]

Jones and Lara would both be behind him and others who weren't listed. I get Jones was a very, very good ODI player with a strike rate that was very high but he ain't Virat Kohli.
