  1. 1. Who is better ODI batsman?



Recommended Posts

Conditions are too batsman friendly  and bowling attacks are pretty ordinary. that people who are starting their careers are scoring hundreds for fun and averaging over 50.

 

Look at padosi.  Babar,fakhar, imam ul haq.  All averaging over 50s.

 

Even a guy like hafeez*(avg 33 in Odis and 37 in tests) has some 11 hundreds in 200 matches. And a player like Hayden could score only 10 in 160 matches.

Some people think Sachin played in Bradman’s era. He played till 2013 , there is nothing in Sachin’s batting which makes him better than Kohli.

He had the biggest advantage of opening in Asia where it rarely swings.

Man I know you are in love with kohli but using extreme words like nowhere near played in condition where no swing in Asia. Sachin played half of his odi in red balls, even when there was white ball odi in other countries in Asia it has been used regularly only after 2000. Also there was only one ball used during entire match. Also look at the bowler  played during Sachin time. Even zim has better attack than last odi series we played against Australia, eng attack in odi is laughable same goes with current wi and sl so don't overexagrate .Also right now every team has above 50 AVG batsmen how many you have at past above 45 AVG batsmen. And no zahir AVG were only good in Asia have you seen his odi AVG in countries like Sena and wi so he is in no comparison with Sachin. Also kohli also have knack of falling at big occasion he has played 2 WC so far and has been utter failure. Look at Sachin AVG in all the WC which he has played. Kohli is ahead in biletral because of his second iinning exploits but telling Sachin is no where near kohli give me a sense of extremists vibes who consider no religion ahead of theirs.

Some kids & oldies tend to underrate how hard it is to score against the old ball on non super flat tracks, just look at this game! Suffice to say their rosy eyed tint only glows red it sees Kohli, & yes SRT is still the greatest Indian batter for the foreseeable future! Just imagine these bunch of guys against peak Warne or Murali, on surfaces that aren't made for T20 & just the one old ball. Anyone bringing yo - but he also faced these bowlers - clearly doesn't remember cricket pre 2007/08 which was 80% of his career!

Ask them what is difference between white ball and red ball. They will say tell you “ Are you colour blind? One is white, other is red?” (Sarcasm there if u missed?)

They tend to not even understand that even “colour blind” doesn’t involve “white” :--D

There is no denial that  Sachin  is better  but some extreme chut@@# fan of Sachin  behaves  like virat  is some gully mohala  player  in front  of Sachin. If Sachin  is 100 on scale  of batting then virat probably  95 .I can also make  excuses like this decade  is hardest  for test batting ,every team use  home condition advantage blatantly .where  Sachin gets benefit to play in most batting friendly  era( piches  were flat almost  every where 2000-2010)

 

But Sachin played during 89 to 2000 as well and pitches in AUs were more flat during 14. Pitches this time in AUs were tougher but no where close to during 98-2000 series. However pitches in SA this time were tougher. And I agree kohli is on par with Sachin purely due to his determination and temperament. But there are some blind kohli fan also whom you find saying Sachin is nowher near kohli.

No played in an era where players like ponting, lara,Hayden,arvinda,anwar,gilchlirs,Jayasuriya,Gibbs,yuvraj,inzmam could hardly average 40.

 

 

ponting , lara , hayden , etc clearly averaged above 40 and sachin averaged 2 or 3 more than them :lol:

meanwhile not many people are averaging around 60 like kohli does..

 

to put things in perspective for the sachin bhakths, sachin was little ahead of his peers .. kohli is way ahead of his peers

Batting first

Kohli

Matches: 91

Runs: 4060

Avg: 49.51

SR: 90.50

100s: 15

 

SRT played 91 ODIs batting first since 2001, his performance was like:

Matches: 91

Runs: 4846

Avg: 58.38

SR: 88.07

100s: 18

 

What Kohli has been doing batting first now, far better level was easily achieved SRT when he started playing in batting friendly conditions in 2000s.

not sure why you picked from 2001 instead of 2000 ( probably it gave 3.5 average boost ) ..

 

averaging 150 and 115 vs namibia and kenya :lol:

kohli didnt have those team to feats on , infact kohli was reguarly rested vs minnows :p:

Sachin won 30 mom for batting after 205 innings and kohli won the same.  Pretty sure india lost more matches during sachin time effecting his chances of wining man of the match.  And definitely much better players were playing at that time
