Where will Kohli end up among Asian batsmen?

[Pap Finn Keighl]

I thought Dravid was ok but Kallis was a dream to play against. Won us many games as the opposition.

When he played against India, I wanted him to be not out most of the times. When SA played against others, it was very frustrating to see him deliberately batting at 50% of required RR.. Especially considering their batting depth.

It was a rubbish statement though. Kallis bad

It gave you a nice warm fuzzy feeling having Kallis batting. Like your bowlers could just throw down pies and they're not going to go for more than 4 an over and you're gliding to victory. Then when he gets out you're like "**** now we have to deal with Klusener, Pollock and Boucher".

I wonder if the only reason opposition didn't drop catches off him to keep him batting was they were scared of match fixing accusations

 

[Pap Finn Keighl]

Neither Kallis nor Dravid were terrible ODI batsmen. What are you people smoking. If they played like that in today's game they'd be terrible.

Dravid SR was 65 when rest of his team-mates scored at 75 ( Tendulkar 90).
When he started scoring at 75 in 00s, others were 90.
And Dravid > Kallis.

I picture Jacques Kallis one day reading this, as one of the greatest cricketers in the history of the sport, just thinking "these ****ing ****s"

While we’re on the topic of YK, I can’t think of too many greats who were that bad in ODIs.

Good ODI captain though.

 

[_00_deathscar]

Bradman was pretty **** at them

He did say greats though, not people who smacked some amateurs around.

I can picture him reading it and thinking "Who TF are these nuffies anyway?"

 

[Kirkut]

YK was a better player of spin than Kohli, no arguments there.

Lol Kohli >> Tendulkar.

 

[Adorable Asshole]

This is just a rubbish statement.

Just because you think Kallis was a way better ODI player than he actually was doesn't make more realistic opinions of him incorrect, or due someone's nationality. You're better than that ankitj

anyway Pollock and Donald are ATG bowlers in all formats, never seen an "Aussie" poster ****ting on them even if they did underperform against the Aus team

@Burgey

 

[Burgey]

It’s not shitting on someone to put their performances into proper perspective. Those two blokes were mentally soft when it mattered against the best team of their era.

Love the brain cannon.

Kohli >> Tendulkar when it comes to being a dick. I'd give you that.

Idk Kohli is not a ball tamperer like Sachin.

It was a mistake i actually wanted to write Younis.

Holy ****, a coconut almost hit me while I was typing the response to this. Was standing under a palm tree.

 

[Thala_0710]

6th in the batsmen list behind Tendulkar, Gavaskar, Dravid, Miandad and Sanga for me

I think Younis is slightly better for now. Let's see how he finishes though.

 

[centurymaker]

1) Tendulkar
2) Gavaskar
3) Dravid
4) Sanga
5) Younis Khan
6) Miandad
7) Kohli

I have Kohli at 7th for now.
