My friend, just to set the record straight on Hobbs.

I concede that based on record and achievements he is right up there in contention with Sachin for no.2 of all time.

However, I think lacking a qualitative component of directly viewing him play, it is difficult to make a complete assessment of Hobbs and hence I feel Sachin is more fitting as the no.2 in light of modern era scrutiny. But I don't think even with a negative in direct viewing would I have his dropoff any lower than absolute batting top tier.

Hobbs is no.3 on my list and in my ATG XI.

Let's bury the hatchet on this one.

Yeah, you can already find signs of that.

That's based on blind stats reading.

And Kohli looks good until he sees anything in the 5th stump

He doesn't see it. That's the problem.

He doesn't see it. That's the problem.

He does but can't help himself. It's muscle memory at this point.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Just know that you don't have the eyes to appreciate it.

Tbh I find Smith’s technique the most attractive. But I’ve always had weird stuff like that
