Williamson is like 700/800 runs away from the 10K runs will be the first NZ batter to achieve this.

 

Kohli even though has only 80 runs less than Kane mama, doesnt have the hunger or technique to ever get to that 10K mark at the rate he is going and his shi*ty average 

At current rate, Kohli needs 15+ tests to get the remaining 750-800 runs. Meaning whole of next WTC cycle, and then some assuming he skips a few series like he has been doing since 2020. We won't qualify to next final as well if the most important batting position continues to give such abysmal returns.

It's a great battle between Smith and root

 

Root is the better batsman but Smith has the better results this far even if not by much

[vvvslaxman]

Kohli the test player is way way behind others. One great peak surrounded by mediocrity.

Smith is easily better

[Gollum]

Kohli is in the Amla class. 

 

Kane perhaps closest to Dravid, Younis.

 

Root in Sanga/Kallis class.

 

Smith has legit grounds to be in the GOAT race, excluding Bradman of course. 

 

This is about tests only.

Kohli is so far behind in the last 4 years in tests compared to the fab 4

Yup, second coming of Amla. Useless, impactless runs and barely any innings at the crunch.

Tbh Amla was clutch in test cricket. Helped RSA draw a couple of series in India (one man show in 2010), won a series in Eng (300 in Lord's), that amazing 196 knock in WACA 2012 which won them the series. He used to score tough runs and was an integral part of that legendary RSA side which was unbeaten overseas for 10 years.

So are you saying "King" Kohli is even more useless than Amla?

Brat Lolllly has been consistently good with his clownish theatrics. Is there a metric for that, I wonder. We could hand out medals and sh!t for that. He'd be ready with an acceptance speech at the drop of a catch...sorry hat.

In tests Amla had more impact. White ball ofc Kohli is better.

I would pick Amla for Tests as well.

punter and tendya both fell off in the last stage of their career. Smith will also probably end with 52-53 avg.

It's pretty much known that Kohli is useless Away and hasn't done anything overseas in a win. And at home it was always Ashwin & Jadeja. So essentially other than useless and impactless runs, he never did much in Tests.

The current situation of Fab 4 = Fab 3 + ......

Yeah but not averaging over 50 in any single country away from home, not even bangladesh is pretty extraordinary

Even in India it'll fall below if he keeps continuing

Yup, pretty mediocre. Didn't know that Kohli doesn't average 50 even in one country. Essentially never been a difference maker. Ironically the only place he averages over 50 was at home where we didn't even need him.

Yeah, he used to average 68 at home till 2019, it's come down to 55 now. One more series at home and his home average will also be less than 50.
