putrevus Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 ^ it can be also interpreted as despite peak years, Kohli cant capture the imagination of cricket crazy nation. You know the reason. Just check last game. Kohli wasn’t comfortable throughtout the inning. Edges, misses struggle. That too against like of mediocrity. And hence Kohli cant capture imagination. I dont want to stop my work just to see someone missing shots against mediocre bowler.m or just ordinary. I will rather just watch highlights I would pay to watch only two batsmen, Viv Richards and Kohli. The beauty of Kohli is his ability to stick around even when he is not at his best. You may not be best everyday you go to work but still giving your best and being consistent is hall mark of greatness.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Real McCoy and manu4411 2 Link to comment
putrevus Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Thank ye god that he dint get to face phelukwao, Pretorius and maharaja attack like Mr kohli had during SA odi series.kohli goes missing even on slightest bit of pressure. Atleast Sachin never went missing in ICC tournament against greatest of Pakistani attack. Where as kohli Sahab got out shamelessly and coz a most shameful defeat against Pakistani in the biggest of stage. As I said even past zim attack was better than what kohli is facing in this era of Odis.Thank god we are not praising Kohli for scoring meaningless 98 like they did for Sachin in match against Pakistan in 2003 World Cup against aging Akram and Waqar who played their last matches.Thank god we are not praising Kohli for never showing up in SENA countries like Sachin.Thank god we are not living in era where we are praising Kohli for scoring runs against likes of Douglas Hondo .Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Real McCoy and Nonbeliever 1 1 Link to comment

I think som commie during India Australia game said that Kohli is being compared to Lara, Viv and Tendulkar on social media. Immediately response was, "Now lets not embarras ourselves" Link to comment
putrevus Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Dude, Rohit(also Dhawan) has scored over Kohli in Australia and England??. What do you say for that?. Context matters a lot man. Context matters , Rohit is not some useless fellow , he is one of the best openers in history of Odi cricket. So him scoring should be held against Kohli what kind of logic is that?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
putrevus Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Kohli has scored the toughest runs against best bowling attacks of both SA and England in tests where he emerged the best batsman from both sides.He would do just fine and do better than Sachin against any attack and anywhere in world.Sachin was nothing more than a steady eddy who amassed his stats due to his longevity.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk raki05, Real McCoy, velu and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk In SA he just score better than other indian player without impact. ABD was best player of the tournament. In Eng he scored against old anderson and faded broad as the most influntial bowler was young sam curran. So what are you talking about best bowling. The best bowling which india played during entier sena tour was SA and Aus. We all know who scored most run in Aus even pant scored more than kohli. Stan AF and Nonbeliever 2 Link to comment

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk In your post, You compared SRT to Kohli in SENA countries, I'm saying there are other batsmen who are more than Kohli within the team itself who have done well outside india in england and australia. The context is there are 2 batsmen from within the same team as Kohli who have contributed more than in him in not one but 3 ICC events, 2013 - england, 2015 - australia and 2017 - champions trophy. There's a hole in your comparison. Based on your logic, If SRT isn't good enough so is Kohli in grand scheme of things when it comes to ICC events and in at-least 2 of the 4 SENA countries.

ICC events have all teams so scoring against Namibia or Kenya does not make Sachin a greater batsman in SENA countries. Kohli is number 3 batsman and if his openers are doing the job how is it his fault. Since when ICC trophy scores are only thing which measures greatness of player. He did his part in both win CT finals 2013 and 2011 world cup finals.Yes Kohli has to much better in ICC 50 over world cup as main batsman.He has excelled in T20 world cups and it is just matter of time he will make his mark in 50 over world cup too. Timing of world cups has been bad for him so far, 2011 he was too young and 2015 he was coming off a long and tiring tour of Australia. Can anyone say Kohli buckles undre pressure of these world cups ???? Jimmy Cliff 1 Link to comment

putrevus Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 (edited) Some people have no clue, they talk like Sachin never had a bad series, any batsman can have bad series. What they do when they are in form matters the most. I will take Kohli over Sachin any day when in form anywhere against any attack. Our great man Sachin looked clueless and was absent in many series over his 200 tests. http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/35320.html?class=1;orderby=batting_average;orderbyad=reverse;template=results;type=batting;view=series Edited January 21, 2019 by putrevus Link to comment
