Yashasvi Jaiswal vs Kamindu Mendis vs Rachin Ravindra vs Harry Brook

[PlayerComparisons]

Three young very talented left handed batsmen + Harry Brook

 

[honestbharani]

Just need another good left hander to emerge to make it the new fab 4

 

[PlayerComparisons]

Harry Brook could be added to make it the next Fab 4 maybe

 

[Coronis]

Ravindra hasn’t done enough to be in the conversation lol. Brook can’t bat at home. I’m going with Mendis over Jaiswal.

You can modify the poll still

Actually tho Jaiswal and Brook will likely get big longevity points on Mendis. He’s getting started pretty late and SL doesn’t play as many tests.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Mendis' batting in England was extremely promising. Looks so composed at the crease.

 

[honestbharani]

My gut feeling is Mendis will be more Chanderpaul than Lara.

Nothing wrong with that as it will still be a great test career and SL needs a solid batsman. The test will be to see when Angelo pulls the plug and see if Kamindu can bat 4 and be the fulcrum of the line-up. If he shows Chanders' level batting ability and output but not his thought process, it should be fine and SL will be well served for the next 10 years at least.

He is Chanderpaul than Lara anyway. He is a very sedate batsman. He has worked him self at batting in limited overs, and that is the reason to see him score quickly. But at core, he is a sedate, boring, plonker, who can occupy the crease for ages.

Saud Shakeel is also another lefty who’s had a promising start. Not as young though obv.

Career SR of 60 in FC over 50 matches, but more Chanders than Lara? I don’t buy that.

What were the fab 4’s stats when Crowe picked the fab 4?

That is a very recent advancement. Believe me, we know the players from their school days. This guy could bat for your life. So is Pathum Nissanka. Both had to develop them selves in to white ball cricketers to survive and to be selected in T20 franchises.

40.05 avg for smith (20 tests)
50.94 avg for Root (22 tests)
40.28 avg for Kane (34 tests)
39.46 avg for Kohli (29 tests)

So will Ravindra.

 

[PlayerComparisons]

So will Ravindra.

It’s a shame NZ and SL play so few tests

 

[Himannv]

Head says Jaiswal, heart says Kamindu.

 

[Silver Silva]

Kamindu Mendis can do it
