  1. 1. Who is better ODI batsman?



Recommended Posts

See Kohli fails to finish the job again as was the case with SRT most of the times. When you are the only batsman carrying the burden of entire batting line-up,  you might get a big ton but always fall short of the touching line without any contribution from other batsmen. 

 

Can't expect a batsman to get a big score and remain at the crease all the way till the end. 

 

Many spectacular chases by Kohli in Odis had contributions from the other batsmen but he fails when he has to do the job all alone like today.

To win world cup , you need a team too. Dhoni did nothing in 2011 but team carried him to finals and he happened to get his one score there.

 

 

You need runs in the WC from him whether in wins or losses.  SRT was top run getter in 3 WC IIRC.

Yes , why are we assuming Kohli will flop in 2019, he was too young in 2011 , did reasonable there played small but important role.2015 he faded away after good start but I don't blame him, he had a very long season then.

 

Sachin played in five world cups. Kohli two let him play then we will judge. But after 227 matches, there is no one close to this guy .

still he averaged very high .. 

what kind of discussion we are having. We are discussing player who had no weaknesses vs someone who has at least 3 weaknesses.

We are comparing players who have won allmost everything worth winning and won trophiies and tournaments sigled handedly to someone who hasnt wont anything since he became main player apart from a series in Australia

Aparantly icf Choker has lost most series despite winning MoS. (8 series i guess). But people will keep saying that bats around him were great and gave lots of support :phehe:

Correct, no one comes close to the King, undisputed GOAT of ODIs. 

Viv has so many MOS in only 40 series  simply because  competition was not much.  West Indies was the first team to adapt to ODIs so fast.  In fact their 4 batsmen  will make in top 5 batsmen  between 1975-85. Haynes, greenidge, Richards and Lloyd. They also had 3 out of 5 best odi bowlers of their era,  Garner, holding, Roberts.Though Viv clearly was the leader of the pack.

As i said, icf choker has lost most series despite being MoS. And no points in guessing who the opponents were. And the choker, played "as bat" with most medocre bowling attack. If it wasnt Kumble, we Prasead wasnt even Henry Olonga

No Place For Virat Kohli In ICC's World Cup XI

Updated: 15 July 2019 16:58 IST

Two India players -- Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah - found a place in ICC's World Cup 2019 XI while captain Virat Kohli missed out.

 

D_g0dbDXYAAKXSH?format=jpg&name=small

 

Here is the team:

Jason Roy (Eng) - 443 runs at 63.28

Rohit Sharma (India) - 648 runs at 81.00

Kane Williamson (c) (NZ) - 578 runs at 82.57 

Joe Root (Eng) - 556 runs at 61.77

Shakib (B'desh) - 606 runs at 86.57, 11 wkts at 36.27 

Ben Stokes (Eng) - 465 runs at 66.42, 7 wkts at 35.14

Alex Carey (wk) (Aus) - 375 runs at 62.50, 20 dismissals 

Mitchell Starc (Aus) - 27 wkts at 18.59

Jofra Archer (Eng) - 20 wkts at 23.05

Lockie Ferguson (NZ) - 21 wickets at 19.47

Jasprit Bumrah (India) - 18 wkts at 20.61  

 

 

 

India captain Virat Kohli, who led the team to the World Cup 2019 semi-finals, failed to find a spot in International Cricket Council (ICC)'s team of World Cup 2019, announced on its official website on Monday. England opener Jason Roy, who was picked ahead of Virat Kohli, had same 443 runs in the tournament. However, Roy's average of 63.29 in 7 matches was better than the right-handed batsman. Virat Kohli averaged 55.38 in 9 matches. India's golden run in World Cup 2019 ended after suffering an 18-run defeat to New Zealand in the first semi-final in Manchester.

 

Two India players -- Rohit Sharma and Jasprit Bumrah -- found places in ICC's World Cup 2019 XI. New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson, who was named player of the tournament, has been named as the captain of the side.

Former commentators Ian Bishop, Ian Smith and Isa Guha, cricket writer Lawarence Booth and ICC General Manager Cricket Geoff Allardice picked the World Cup 2019 playing XI. 

 

Rohit Sharma and Jason Roy are picked as openers, thanks to their brilliant performance in the showpiece event. Rohit, who scored five tons in World Cup 2019, was the tournament's leading run scorer with 648 runs. Williamson is placed at number 3 spot followed by Joe Root, all-rounders Shakib Al Hasan and Ben Stokes. Australia's Alex Carey, who showed character in the recently concluded tournament, is the wicket-keeper batsman in ICC's playing XI.

 

The bowling attack looks lethal with big names including Mitchell Starc, Jofra Archer, Lockie Ferguson and Jasprit Bumrah in the side. Mitchell Starc was the leading wicket-taker of the tournament with 27 wickets. While, Jofra Archer who bowled the super over for England, had claimed 20 wickets in the tournament. Bumrah, the top ranked ODI bowler, always provided India breakthroughs in crucial moments and picked 18 wickets in the showpiece event.
