The thing with not making voters visible is that's less exciting but probably good for turnout.

I am quite surprised Kohli is winning quite comfortably against Miandad..... It's Test only, right? I don't think Virat has still surpassed him.

Difficult.

Both have played knocks under pressure and faced tough bowlers.

I'd rate Javed slightly ahead as I feel he batted in tough eras.

Javed has that problem of not only having a big gap between home and away averages, but that of batting on flat wickets at home(Kohli atleast has had good/tough wickets since 2016 odd) and the Pakistani umpiring bias at home. Javed was poor in WI and Aus, while Kohli is poor in Eng and NZ. But I don’t Javed is as impressive in any country as Kohli in SA. Very close tho

Javed averaged 50 or close to 50.

However he's record in Eng, Australia, WI, NZ counts a lot which should be the basis for weighing.

I think almost all the overseas batsmen (barring some freaks like Mohinder Amarnath) struggled in the WI throughout the 80s (for obvious reasons)
