Averages of the Fab 4 in SA/AUS/IND/ENG

[sage]

 

Didn't realise how bad Kane's stats were

[diga]

OP:  You should either include NZ for a fair comparison or remove the respective home countries in your table... Nevertheless it would be interesting to add NZ 

[Majestic]

I do realize you ignored NZ there. Kane will be like, " Tumhara home home, aur mera home Kuch nahi".

Where is Barber Hajam? I thought he was a Fab material too

Jeez Smith is just a freak however both him & Kohli are on a downward slide.  Kohli more so.  Root is younger than all & Kane has great technique so I think these two will have more impact in coming years. 

[Sgattick10]

Pakistani would object to this and make it fab 5

What is Babar's average in those countries?

Smith ain't on a downward slide. He has been figured out by world class indian bowling attack and to an extent by Wagner.

Kohli is past his peak yes for sure. I am not even sure if he is only '32'. He should be at his absolute best right now given his age. 30-35/36 is when you are your absolute best in most sports. He might actually be 36 already? 

 

Kane sucks vs spin, pace and is useless vs bounce these days. 

 

He is good in swing conditions though.

Hajam stats

36.83 vs south africa

65.45 vs england

27 vs australia

47 vs new Zealand. 

 

Typical Pakistani batsman who does well in England and n.z due to county exposure and is a can vs bounce and pace. 

 

But averaging 65 in England is very impressive though. Can hajam keep it going? I believe so. 

 

He is supposedly 26 now. Played 33 games. I think he can get to 100 games.

Lol what's with the new nick 'Hajam' for Babar?

 

Although it's meant to be derogatory but found it funny nonetheless

He hasn't been the monster he is known in Australia in last couple of years.  First he failed to cash in on bumper run scoring against mediocre Pak side as Yasir Shah managed to get him out then Wagner was all over him & last year Ashwin..  Although he did managed to strike form in last 2 tests.

That's mighty impressive.

How would you rank your fab 4? My Ranking would be -:

1)Smith

2) Root

3) Kohli

4) Williamson

Depends on conditions. 

 

In Aussie and s African conditions I would say Smith and virat easy. 

 

In spin conditions I would say Smith and root.

 

In swing Kohli is the worst imo. 

 

So overall;

 

Smith

Kohli

Root

Kane

 

Root for Kohli now is possible. 

 

[Straight Drive]

Kohli and Smith are at different level.

[Majestic]

Kohli and Smith are the best.

 

AB de Villiers is better than both Kane and Root. So, the fab four theory is flawed.
