Zoranovic Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 3 hours ago, jusarrived said: Come on sir , pressure ? SA would have posted close to 300 or may be more had he got oit for a 0 . That's why I call him a zero impact player . It doesn't not matter to SA he scores or not . SA lost QDK for not much and wickets for 5 runs around the 30th over. Amla withstood the pressure and ensured they didn't collapse. If SA would've scored 300 regardless, by your logic all other batsman should have scored centuries too. 2 hours ago, laaloo said: Kohli doesnt like to bash minnows so your team will be spared. The recent Test series against Australia and his dining out on Bangladesh would suggest otherwise Link to comment
Phoboyz Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Long time lurker first time poster here. I have to say that I like Amla over Kohli personally. Similar ODI records but Amla is much respected by the cricketing world including opposition countries whereas Kohli gets a divided reception at best. Applelyard 1 Link to comment

Amla and Kohli are different players - and they play different roles for their team. Daburbhai had his peak phase a couple of years ago, when he was piling up big score after another, while VK had his last year. Let's see how the current season plays out for them. The real contest will be when we tour SA end of this year... Link to comment
Applelyard Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Kohli's performance in the recent test series against Australia was a concern. Amla doesn't seem to crack under pressure like Kohli, they are both great bats but Amla for me. Phoboyz and Pixel 2 Link to comment

Sonix768 Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 In LOIs, no doubts it's Kohli. Kohli's purple patches last longer than anyone. Link to comment

Sgattick10 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 If u pick world odi eleven Amla wouldn't find a place, he isn't an impact player, blowers aren't scared of him cos they know he won't go berserk but Kohli on his day esp on big days will demolish any opposition, will chase down any score and get u home.

mishra Posted June 7, 2017 Share Posted June 7, 2017 Not even close. Amala lays foundation, But still far behind a lot of players in limited overs cricket. Kohli and Devil are two players who can lay foundation as well as destroy the attack. And they do it so often. Same is true with Smith too. Williamson is probably comparable to Amala while Root lags behind him Sgattick10 1 Link to comment

Hes not like Amla or williamson , hes got a few more gears than these guys and possibly we havent seen the best of him yet in ODI's . Link to comment
