G Smith vs Kohli overseas

That was the best out there. The only comparable away tours by Indians are Amarnath in '83 WI, Dravid in '11 Eng and maybe Sunny in '78 Eng.

I would pick the Aus one over it tbh

Tendulkar 2010-11 South Africa?

Aus one had a fair few roads. The level of batting displayed in the SA one was just superior.

Close, but 2018 Kohli is ahead for me.

I agree that the conditions were much tougher in SA, but still the AUS one had 4 hundreds with 2 fifties with the iconic Adelaide performance. In 2018, Kohli doesn't do much first game, has an ATG innings of 153 in the second match and then in third played 2 very good innings in the toughest conditions in the series. So it's basically 3/6 inns of a very high level.
I'll still go AUS 2014. The sheer difference in volume of runs has to matter somewhat

Can understand the reasoning, but I just think in the last 2 matches Kohli batted otherworldly well. From a technical point, some of the very best out there.

This I would agree with. 2018 Kohli is the best version of Kohli I've ever seen from a technical standpoint

I wonder what the top 5 visiting batters in South Africa look like, think it looks like Kohli/Tendulkar/Hobbs/Harvey/Warner maybe?

Waugh/Ponting?

Waugh for Warner, Ponting *sigh* close.

 

[Johan]

Waugh/Ponting?

Oh Yeah, probably Waugh gets in instead of Warner, Ponting has a good argument too

Waugh for Warner, Ponting *sigh* close.

I'll find a way to replace him with Root dw, or Hammond
