Harvey v Amla v Kohli.

[BazBall21]

Someone asked. Three fellas who were averaging 50+ but tailed off towards the end.

 

[Calm_profit]

Harvey.

 

[trundler]

Pretty similar career trajectories for all 3. All 3 played in tough eras and had tough home conditions too.

 

[Silver Silva]

Neil Harvey made his debut 76 years ago and is still alive ! 🫨

 

[Johan]

Harvey for me.

 

[sayon basak]

Close between Harvey and Kohli for me. Don't particularly rate Amla very high.

This. Not sure why Amla is in the poll. Played in a very easy era and still only averaged like 45.

fr, bro went to India in 2010 against Harbhajan (post 2006), Zaheer, Ishant (early career) and Amit Mishra and averaged 490, then went to India in 2015 against Ashwin and Jadeja and averaged an amazing 16

 

[BazBall21]

Amla going in was requested, though he averaged 47 with very tough home conditions and played the back end of his career in a bowler friendly era which was particularly unforgiving for someone batting top 3 in SAF.

 

[Johan]

2015-19 Amla was pretty much current Kohli

 

[Daemon]

Amla’s a great comparison. Was #1 or thereabouts for many years. Steep decline as well.

 

[Johan]

feel Harvey's a bit underrated due to that 48.4 avg

 

[BazBall21]

Harvey
Amla
Kohli

 

[Johan]

Harvey
Amla
Kohli

if Kohli averages 46, would he fall below Gooch for you

 

[sayon basak]

Harvey
Amla
Kohli

lol.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Kohli or Harvey

 

[Johan]

It's Harvey

 

[Johan]

also let's not pretend Bazball21 said something absurd, Amla had the sense to Retire after 2 years of middling performance unlike a certain VK

Amla was also a very good player.

 

[Gob]

Almost the perfect thread. Almost!

Yeah I think Amla had a slightly milder decline. Good tour of England and better at home.
