Ponting -> Kohli.

Don’t be silly. Ponting’s decline hasn’t made people here rate him any less, whilst everyone now thinks Kohli is ****.

Yeah because Ponting had 100+ tests and a career longer than Barrington and Chappell before his decline hit. Kohli played like 70 tests. It's really simple lol.

Bill Lawry to Matthew Elliott is a comparison I've heard made. Probably around 97 when it looked like the latter would be a star. Tall, left handers with great pullshots. Similar faces too

Sydney Barnes to O'Reilly another maybe? Very unique yet similar styles and were both very effective


And while they look different batting with different techniques, Afridi and Maxwell have the same kamikaze, attack at all costs mentality

Maxi will always have the 2015 WC at least. That was special

 

[Dendarii]

Graeme Smith and Dean Elgar

 

[Lillian Thomson]

I remember when Frank Hayes made his debut in 1973 Christopher Martin-Jenkins hailed him as the second coming of Dennis Compton. Turned out more like Dennis Thatcher. We all get them wrong. I thought John Crawley was another Peter May and he turned out more like Theresa May.

Afridi has his 2009 World T 20.

50 overs WC is bigger still atm but not sure 10 years from now it will still be.

Bumrah and Waqar Younis.

Bumrah of 2018 to 2019 was like pre injury Waqar Younis, especially that spell of 5/7. Then stress fractures happened and it took off some sting in his bowling, although he can still produce some match winning spells like he did in England.
