Im surprised about people selecting Kholi where he is only good in Flat tracks. He struggles in Bouncy pitches in ENG,NZ & AUS. So I rate Root & Williamson over kholi since they are good in any pitch regardless of spin,bounce or flat.

 

As much as Kohli was in god mode this tournament.

 

AB D >>>>>> rest of the world.

One should give more mileage to Test.So it's still ABD but I feel he is on a decline and I'm sure Virat's  test record will graudually improve.I somehow don't consider Smith as an all round  batsman.He's just having a purple patch.Joe Root vs Virat kohli is too close to call.Kane is just a step below.

Root Won Ashes, Beat South Africa in South Africa, If England did so well in T20s, Root had a big part to play. Guy can dominate and play in all conditions and all formats. Most of Englands current Successes are down to him. TBH England are a successfull team for now.

Root super flop in Australia

ABDV by a mile, runs in T20 are nice to have.

 

And it's not like ABDV is a flop in T20, just doesn't score big runs like Root or Kohli, but maybe because his role in SA T20i is different to the anchor roles played by Kohli and Root for India and England respectively.

So was everyone else. Its like judging Kohli on pathetic Indian team performance in England. After that series debacle, there was no one who gave England a chance to win Ashes back against Aussie quicks in English conditions. That too, within a year. Turnaround was possible cos of some steller batting from young Root.

People doubted his odi ability, He did very well. So in T20. Root is young. Give him 2 more years, he will be probably most feared batsman and England will become top team in allmost all formats of game
