saik Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Michael Holding is not ready to call Virat Kohli great, believing he must have success in England first. https://www.sportskeeda.com/cricket/holding-kohli-not-great-until-he-scores-runs-in-england Link to comment
Gollum Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Holding is being very lenient. Kohli also needs to make himself less useless on rank turners and may be not choke so much in 2019 CWC. He is nowhere near being called great. Muloghonto and Adi_91 2 Link to comment
adi B Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Looks like Holding sets a very high bar to adjudge someone as a great,hopefully he is consistent in judging some batsmen from other countries as well express bowling, Sgattick10, Dada's Army and 6 others 9 Link to comment

Kohli needs just 1 great WC and 1 great Eng tour to become a true undisputed great. Ponting was very good in the 2008 and 2010 tours to India, Warne was very good in the 2004 tour to India, and both of them owned the WC (Warne 1999, Ponting 2003 and 2007). Kohli has been miserable in WCs and the worst visiting batsman ever in England. Edited January 22, 2018 by Gollum Link to comment

Its pretty low from Holding. express bowling 1 Link to comment
Popular Post express bowling Posted January 22, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Holding has a bowling average of 47.9 with a SR of 112 in New Zealand I guess he is not a great too then, by his own definition.

That is mediocre but Kohli's record in England is on a different level altogether. By most estimates Kohli is the worst visiting batsman to step foot in Eng. Had Holding averaged 250 in NZ with a SR of 400, that would rule him out of the 'great' category. Link to comment
express bowling Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Ponting has a batting average of 26.5 in India. Lara has a batting average of 33 in India. Richards has a batting average of 19.3 in NZ. Root has a batting average of 17.6 in NZ and 24.5 in Bangladesh. Roberts has a bowling average of 65.3 in NZ. Greenidge has a batting average of 17.3 in Pakistan. Steve Waugh has a batting average of 16.6 in SL. etc. etc. What does Holding think about that ?

He thinks poor Md Amir shouldnt have gotten caught while selling his country off. In the meantime, Kohli is a poor batsman! Thats what he thinks!

Bowling average of 48 and SR of 112 was very pathetic in the 1970s and '80s One thing is ... one series is not sufficient to judge any player ... a bad habit creeps in and there is not sufficient time to rectify it, especially these days with packed schedules. The other thing is ... Holding just finds faults with Indians and is highly biased against us. Edited January 22, 2018 by express bowling Adi_91, Rightarmfast, RAZPOR and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Hope Kohli has a great tour of England and a great 2019 WC so that all his naysayers can be silenced for once and for all. Link to comment

Gollum Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I don't think critics have a personal problem with Kohli, his tards and Indian media are just so irritating that it gets on people's nerves. Indian media and fans have put Kohli on a pedestal that frankly he doesn't deserve, just like they did with Dhoni...... I am a Sachin/Lara fan (not a tard !!!) and it irritates me when people rate Kohli above them with so many gaping holes in his record and without considering the difference in bowling attacks/pitches.
