Stan AF Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 My favorite batsman in fab 4. Well done Blondie. Link to comment
chewy Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Saw highlights of Kane's innings, looked imperious, absolutely dominating Pak bowling. Normally seen him quietly accumulate runs, but some of cover drives and straight drives were hit with intent and wonderful to watch. Link to comment
Stan AF Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Crossed 7k Test runs. Avg-ing 54+ now. above Kohli Link to comment
Gollum Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 Failure in Ind, Aus, RSA, Eng, SL LINK But no one will call him HTB, that tag is only for lowly Indian players. Link to comment

Kane's home-away stats are 65/45 pretty close to Kohli's 68/44 and I don't think anyone calls Kohli HTB. If 45 away avg is considered HTB then every batsmen in this era except for SPD would be HTBs.. in this era a differential of 20 b/w home and away is to be expected.. it only becomes an issue when its so lopsided like Warners 65/34 or Rohit's 88/26. Of course Kohli didn't play away games against Pakistan/Zim but that isn't Kane's problem.. Kane also plays less matches per series and gets less opportunities to get a big score so it evens out in the end Link to comment

Kane better in WI, BD, then those 9 tests in Pak, Zim. Link to comment
Majestic Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 The problem with Kane is that he hasn't played any test match in England, SA and India after 2016. So, he hasn't really got to face them at its peak which is why his record is bad against them. Stan AF 1 Link to comment
