    Kohli vs MS Dhoni

    Nah, not even close. He was behind De villiers by a considerable margin. Slightly higher average with less not outs(oh ! I didn't say this) and much better strike rate. He was a superman. On the other hand Dhoni's strike rate was lesser than even Sachin's during that period.

    This. Excactly what I have been saying. He already seems to think that Roy/ Bairstow is better than Tendulkar/ Gilchrist and Butler is better than Dhoni in an ATG team.

    And I assume you rate KR Patterson over Bradman.

    Top 10 ODI batsmen since the 90s

    A playing XI since the 90s without Sachin? That must be a joke.

    No, it doesn't. If they had at least 60% of the runs the other pair scored we can consider.

    Top 10 ODI batsmen since the 90s

    Mate the problem is the pair has scored barely 1/3rd the runs Sachin and Ganguly has. Longevity matters a lot when it comes to ATG discussions. DE Silva, Amla, Ganguly, etc. were all great at one point but not for too long. That is why people hardly mention them in ATG discussions. I haven't...

    Top 10 ODI batsmen since the 90s

    Jayasuriya and Gilchrist is a good comparison for Sehwag. Even though I would say Sehwag is better than Jayasuriya and Gilly is a tad better than Sehwag. And it doesn't matter if they had other strings to their bow as we are only rating them on their batting ability here. And I don't need to...

    Top 10 ODI batsmen since the 90s

    It's weird how underrated Sehwag is. To people still questioning how he is in anybody's top 10 from last 3 decades. Just look at his peak years, 2008-11. In those 4 years he averaged 47.35 with a SR of 123.02. Nobody could match those stats during that period. He was a nightmare for the bowlers.

    Top 10 ODI batsmen since the 90s

    Honestly, it's really odd to see Bairstow and Roy among the other names. They really shouldn't be in any ATG team. Not that they aren't good. Just wait a few more years at least until they score 6000 runs and we will see if they are still as good.

    Top 10 ODI batsmen since the 90s

    He had a great run in 2002 as well especially in the NZ tour. So that is 5 years of havoc against almost every opponent and everywhere. And he has some gems spread over in the other seasons as well. Remember Umar Gul, Pak's ace bowler, from 2011 WC semi final or the 2003 WC final. Easily a top...

    Top 10 ODI batsmen since the 90s

    We are only discussing a players batting ability in this thread. If we are discussing the overall ability it would be a different story.

    Top 10 ODI batsmen since the 90s

    Disagree. It is more like the other way around. Jayasuriya and De Silva are way ahead of Dilshan. Even Sanga is better.

    Top 10 ODI batsmen since the 90s

    Of course it would show more sense than you. Otherwise you wouldn't be persistently chasing me on this thread just because I said your hero Bevan is not as good as some people think. At this point it seems like you are just obsessed about this. Again I don't wish to have this sort of...

    I am right then. There is no other reasonable conclusion. I choose to not continue this further. Because I have said everything that needed to said and not willing to repeat anymore.

    Top 10 ODI batsmen since the 90s

    OK, now you really want to argue over semantics lol. You know what I meant. I will rephrase it if you insist "My logic isn't wrong, it just isn't perfect" .

    Top 10 ODI batsmen since the 90s

    Well, my logic is not perfect. But to me it almost proves my actual point that not outs inflate the average. Because there is a world of difference between 20 and 53. I guess, we can just agree to disagree at this point.

    Dude, what is wrong with you? You either stay on topic or don't enter the thread at all. We are discussing a topic here and you constantly come in here to discuss about the people discussing a topic because you are salty. I don't give a s**t about what you think of my posts. I did not ask for...

    Top 10 ODI batsmen since the 90s

    No, I wouldn't make that claim. Because the sample size is too small, just one in this case, to make an analysis. In the actual case the sample size is 40. Again you are trying to deviate from a logical discussion by playing "you just don' get it" since your logic failed. My logic is not wrong...
