Kohli Test Average

[Fuller Pilch]

I want Kohli to play in England so we can debate whether Laxman should replace him in the Indian ATG XI.

don't think Kohli falls below VVS even if he gets 5 ducks in England tbh, too big gap.

Hazare imo.

 

[Johan]

I know was just joking.

What about Hazare?

sadly think it's locked for me

1. S Gavaskar
2. V Merchant
3. R Dravid
4. S Tendulkar
5. V Kohli
6. R Pant

is probably always gonna be my top 6

Would be fun in 10/15 years to see the new breed of fans get triggered when us old farts talk up how good he was and they claim Laxman was better as had a higher average.

Soon it will be Jaiswal.

 

[Johan]

Soon it will Jaiswal.

could be, amazing bat

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Soon it will Jaiswal.

Looks a more complete player than Sehwag anyway, the best opener since Gavaskar.

 

[Johan]

He's extremely free flowing, a bit like Sachin in that regard

Honestly with Kohlis decline I am wondering if the gulf is that vast between the ATG Ind and Pak batting top 5.

Anwar
Hanif
Younis
Miandad
Inzi

India is better but not greatly so since I think Kohli is weaker than any Pak middle order bat.

Better openers for India though

You will be really pushing it for Inzi>Kohli, but I will leave at that really...... And Merchant>Sehwag is very viable.

 

[Coronis]

Yet another example of being caught up in the moment. Inzamam > Kohli… what a ****ing joke

Yeah at this point I may have Inzi over Kohli. Inzi never had this poor a stretch of form. Not saying for sure but it's certainly debatable.

 

[Johan]

not sure about this at all chief

 

[Johan]

if the fab 4 batted in 2000s I got them all averaging 50+ tbh, some might even do 55+

I doubt Smith or Kane could manage it

Instinctively feel Kohli is a better bat of course but I think this is at a knife's edge. Certainly another bad series in England will further sink Kohlis case. This really is an inexplicably rotten stretch of form in the middle of a prime.

2 already do.

Also Inzy averaged 55 in the 2000s
