Placing our bets on "Test Cricket's Young Fab Four"

[Burner]

Kohli went from 20 something to number 4 based on 1 match?

Shows how inactive some of these teams are

How is Myth #1?

He's enduring middling performances since real competition came to town.

So is Root tbf while Kane is enduring **** performances

 

[Blocky]

I'd have thought none of them did enough to usurp AB or Younis.

 

[honestbharani]

tbf, felt very bad for KW getting out in that second dig. Poor guy cant even red ink his way to the 50 average.

AB should't be in the top 10.

 

[Slifer]

Glad I hitched my wagon to Kohli. Excellent batsman across all formats can only see him improving from here. Haven't seen much of Root or KW admittedly but I've seen Smith and he should finish with a 55+ test average ; excellent excellent player.

So what's the latest on the Big 3 debate now?

Kohli
Smith
Williamson

Boy how fast has this changed

Lol, did you intentionally leave out Root who's arguably the best of all?

Root/Smith = 1
Kohli = 2
KW = 3

Virat Kohli 'would love' a county stint before 2018 England tour | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo


From the article, Kohli on the fab four and the competition between him and Joe Root, Kane Williamson and Steve Smith...

To me all these are world-class players, and I have always rated each one of them higher than me, in Test cricket especially, because of the way they have performed in the last two or three years.

He goes on to say how he has limitations in test match batting and tries to play within that. Amazing!!

At least someone agrees with Howsie

The best part is how he included Warner's name there, as if he is being nice to him.

 

[vcs]

He forgot to mention Azhar Ali though. Pakpassion are going to be pissed off now.

LTM to explodeee..

Wrong guy. PakPassion could care less about Azhar Ali. In fact most Pak fans don't really rate these guys - Azhar, Shafiq, Misbah. Even YK is only begrudgingly acknowledged because of his record.

Not too long ago you had someone on CW suggest Azhar be dropped for Sharjeel.

 

[Black_Warrior]

They [the fans] put us in a group of young players coming up in world cricket," Kohli said. "That healthy competition is great for the game. People like talking about it. It is a great topic of debate.

VK reads CW.

 

[Pup Clarke]

I'm going to throw one name out there who I think is going to be challenging these guys by the end of next year.

Temba Bavuma

Warner isn't that bad, nor that far behind them.

 

[honestbharani]

No, he is not, but the way he mentioned him just gave that impression. I know it is not how Virat meant it either. Was just funny, that is all.
