Kane Williamson proves class still has a place in T20 format.

Amla is a statistical T20 great. Williamson is a clutch T20 great. Williamson is like Dhoni, performs when matters and end of the day has a last laugh. Amla has statistical superiority but never performs or impact matches when it matters.

 

That's why Kane even though more limited is a greater player for me than Amla in limited overs cricket. Amla is better in Test Cricket though.

When did Kane have the last laugh in t20s? 

Also none of them are close to being t20 greats

 

Amla is a better batsman in all 3 formats, that dude still carries a lot of records for being fastest to x runs, also he had the ability to accelerate which Williamson shows once in a blue moon.

Williamson scored 700 runs in a season in the IPL once. What has Hashim Amla done other than ensure team reaches below par totals with his old school style of batting? 

 

 

If Amla's batting was 'old school' then Williamson's batting is ancient.

In pressure situations, I will pick Williamson over Amla anyday. Amla always bottled it in ICC tournaments and run chases.

There is absolutely 0 comparison between Amla and Kane in T20.

 

Kane is head and shoulders ahead as a batsman + captain. It’s not even a debate 

 

if someone is arguing for it then they are just holding on to their argument for the sake of it.

Amla is about 7 years older than Williamson, Amla is the one who's from the era of traditional and classical style batting.

And still strikes at higher rate than Williamson. 

Has away averages and performance in test cricket that Williamson can't even think of. 

Has broken many records in odis.

Lol, 

What has Kane done in t20s that he is being regarded as some sort of T2Ö great? 

 

Amla has been head and shoulders above him in both IPL and internation cricket.

Okay pick him in pressure situations, but then you will also pick Dhoni / Gambhir in pressure situations over Sachin, that doesn't make them a better batsman than Sachin. 

 

We are talking about their t20 batting abilities, and Amla is definitely ahead there too. 

 

As for tests, let's not even bring up their stats in various countries. 

 

In odis too Amla is a level ahead.

Sachin has performances in pressure situations in World Cup, he has won three man of match vs Pakistan in World Cup, 1992, 2003 and 2011 and those were strong Pakistan side. It is mostly these Pakistani fans agenda trying to label Sachin as some selfish batsman and choker in big games even though Sachin was the standout player in India's major winning streak in ODI World Cups vs Pakistan, he was also leading run scorer in 1996, 2003 and second leading run scorer in 2011 WC. He has faltered in finishing few games but that is not his job as opener and only his 100th century was selfish one.

 

Amla's problem is much bigger, he has never really performed well in World tournaments vs any of the top 8 nations, he was at peak of his powers in 2015 WC but went completely missing. That World Cup had he supported Faf, AB and Miller all of them performed then South Africa would have been playing the finals vs Australia but he went missing in most of those games except vs associates nations. He and Qdk are certified chokers in ICC tournaments.

 

Williamson on other hand was very good with bat in 2019 WC and played a top knock in WT20 final of 80 odd.

 

Test cricket - Amla was amazing at his prime.

I don’t remember a single Amla IPL or T20 knock or moment except the time he got bowled by Ashwin with a tremendous delivery  in a WT20.

 

Kane Williamson just recently led his team to a WT20 final as captain  and played a knock of 85(48) in a final vs a high quality Aussie attack. 
 

That alone puts him over Amla.
 

Look I know Amla has a certain appeal and a a persona which appeals to a lot of folk understandably . Seems like a good guy.

 

was a good  player too  but a very random name and WTF name  in this discussion lol. Amla kidhar see aa gaya. That’s why sounds very random or deliberate. One of the most boring LoI batsmen. While Kane is also not an Andre Russell there always seems to be more planning and purpose in a Williamson knock than whatever Amla has ever done.

Illogical argument, do kaudi ke players can also have a good outing in a solitary final, doesn't make them better than a Quality batsman.  Period

Why is everyone trying put down Amla? He was not a bigger tuk-tuker than Rohit and Rahul. Never though anyone will forget his two centuries in one season that easily.

 

Although, he is irrelevant to the discussion, he was not as bad you are making him.
