Global.Baba Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 What a player. Every year gets dropped because he doesn’t fit the T20 narrative but time and again keeps his team in the hunt or puts them over the line. Has done this for Nzl as well as SRH time and time again. Todays knock was a masterclass despite being on the losing side. A true role model player. GeeGaw, nevada, New guy and 2 others 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Majestic Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 One of the greatest batsman of all-time. In 2018, Sunrises Hyderabad reached finals even in the absence of David Warner because of one man. He scored 700+ runs and took SRH to IPL finals. A very good T20 player but with his street smartness of batting and his clutch ability, he is hands down right up there with the greatest batter of all-time. nevada, sorak, Global.Baba and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as class is concerned he is not too far behind either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a Bairstow, Gayle, etc. are in good form too, not many are going to pick KW over them if given a choice Edited April 25, 2021 by zen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That exactly proves my point. Class is class. Root would have excelled especially in these kind of games as well. Behind KW in mental strength but still a class player and also does have a modern game. That is exactly what I am saying. Class is class yaar.

Bigg Brother Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Both Root and KW are class players, Williamson has played some brilliant knocks for NZ, SRH and Northen knights (happened to be NZ's entry in the dead champions league). Shame that Steven Smith gets to play consistently for his respective franchise while this guy finds it hard to get into team sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Wolf Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Both him & Joe Root are quite underrated players... Root infact has whole arsenal of reverse sweeps & scoops. I'll take both of them over Kohli & Smith right now easily. Coz they find ways to score against every type of bowling. Kohli struggles against spin while Smith has his limitations.

GeeGaw Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 SRH winning percentage last few years with KW playing was 60% and 14% when he’s not playing. Why on earth he doesn’t get picked every match is confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok england side has tough contest and IPL sides dnt have eye...but how shud i knw till i see his performances. KW has done it throughout on diff pitches diff situations.

It alone wnt help u, these days every format need certain skills. Cummins has class but hasnt been that effective as bowler in t20 coz u need different. Ppl look for either black or white answer whereas it isnt that easy. Cricket is a situation, condition and format oriented game. Their are very very few in world who have great command in all format. I can only think of kohli, bumrah who are equally among top in all formats. U think anderson or broad doesnt have class but they struggled with white ball cricket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I6MTW Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 Smith is the weakest LOI batsmen of the fab 4. Kohli probably the strongest(until recent failures) in normal matches, but unproven in knockouts. Williamson is the best in tough conditions and in knockouts. Root is in between.

Adamant Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Very limited t20 player, Sorry not getting on this hype train. He is very good when chasing 150-160 type totals but won't help a bit if the target is big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
