He has critics? Where do they hide?
They are mostly Babar fans onHe has critics? Where do they hide?
Agreed. If you're going to run a Babar>Kohli agenda you have to hide where the lowlife are thoughTwitter is a horrible place to hide. Or do anything.
see?Definitively saying anyone is best outside Bradman is irritating across eras
Needs more Ricky PontingSachin was the best across multiple rule changes and stuff. His sheer adaptability puts him a bit ahead of Virat for me. Viv ahead of both though. Again, as I have often posted in CW in the last few weeks, the platinum tier of ODI batsmen, in order for me -
Viv
Sachin
Virat
MSD
Bevan

The enormous disparity in his SR compared with his contemporaries. He was orders of magnitude in front, while maintaining a really good average. He was also pretty innovative - he had an around-the-ground power game which basically no one else had back then. For example, he'd hit sixes over cover and mid off when no one else went near doing it. He sort of did everything first and as well as anyone has. Averaging 47 and striking at 90 in the 70s and 80s is pretty ridiculous.Genuine question without bias - why would you rank Viv ahead of Kohli?
Didn't even get his side to a World Cup final thoughHe is a great ODI player. But deserves consideration that De Villiers was regarded by majority as the best ODI batsman in the world till he retired. De Villiers averaged near 65 with a SR of 110 throughout 2010s. Guy was a freak!
