***Official*** India in Australia ODIs 2016

Not disputing Kohli the superior performer but Smith's also only played 2 Tests in India. That average of 40 is pretty unlikely to stay put.
Well, that is kind of the point. Let Smith play out a few more and then we can judge him. At the moment, his stats are extremely skewed - he is rather a home bully with a home average of 67 in tests and a away from home average of 41. That needs to first get evened out.

It's also worth putting out there now for the noobs that Senile Sentry is a reknowned troll, so when arguing with him please tread carefully and don't turn the thread to ****.
Lo and behold, the forum elder has spoken :P Good to see you again after a long while.

LOL this is statsguru mining of the worst kind. He's performed superbly away from home in the last 2 years. No way is he even close to an htb

I mean, leaving aside the fact his record is actually 50+ away from home, no, you don't get to say on one hand 'we can't judge' then call him a home-track bully. That's judgement. And, I might add, absolutely without basis.

Those two Tests were pretty solid performances in context too.
Ah yes, context. A nice addition to any debate, really.

Oh great Smith vs Kohli

About time too tbf. Tendulkar-Ponting narrative is so passe. Those topics are dead now.

Can we please have a Smith vs Kohli comparison topic as a no holds barred licensed whorehouse?

Don't think there is much of a comparison in any format atm tbh. Kohli is way better in short forms while Smith is comfortably ahead in tests
