Williamson is highly overrated

[Moochad]

Similar players. Neither are in Smith-Kohli tier but both great batsmen at what they do

 

Shadow edit by op adding Rahane. Rahane has the best overseas record, but he doesnt score big runs anywhere and has a poor home record

I would still back Williamson over the other 2 in crunch situations.

Any examples from past?

 

Rahane scored century in Australia in crunch situation in recent tour.

Pujara won 2 series, won test in SA.

 

Which crunch situation Williamson has performed in?

Each and every test away from home against a good team qualifies as a   crunch situation and Williamson has been average.

OP created something similar regarding Stokes last time and he played a good knock. This time Williamson will do the trick and hurt our chances.

One good knock, didn't change anything.

[Lord]

Didn't know Rahane was this good in SA

 

Also the place where was he dropped in 2018

 

and WI too

Bro, your timing is wrong here. One good knock from Williamson here and that might be it for us in the WTC final.

Mate, every test especially away from home is a tough match.

SA is one team he likes

 

Scored quick runs against them in 2015 Wc, gem of an innings

Scored in ODI series in SA vs SA

Scored in ODI series in IND vs SA 

Scored 2-100s in one test in India against SA

Fully expect Kohli to drop him from playing XI in our test tour to RSA later this year.

SA? Expect him to be dropped in this England tour itself. Kohli has already singled out Pujara for WTC loss, the likely Eng series loss will be blamed on Rahane.

 

Do remember after the loss in Chennai tests, Kohli came out in 'defence' of Rahane. Had we lost another test there, Rahane would have been thrown out there and then.

 

He targeted Rohit before the Aus series, didn't want him there, dropped him from first 2 Eng T20s, Pujara is most likely gone.

 

I'm surprised he hasn't started targeting Ashwin, another potential threat to his Test captaincy. The day Ashwin's name comes in the reckoning, media will start talking about his poor fitness.

This phase wud be the true test of him, coz now begins transition phase. Ideally pujara or rahane arent even 35+ that u can think they are completely done n dusted. 

Backups like KL, Mayank, Vihari, Shaw have their own share of weakness for test cricket. So i dnt expect them to be consistent either, but their is one thing kohli is very consistent at -loosing patience on someone. Unless u keep scoring runs, he can loose patience on you anytime. This is where dhoni settled the team before going by giving enough chances to kohli, pujara, rahane and even dhawan. Kohli cant do same, i expect a full on chaos like No. 4 position to 2019 Wc buildup unless someone pile on the runs n own a spot

Rohit also can be on thin ice in test cricket anytime in next 2 yrs. He still isnt converting his starts overseas and problem with scoring at home is the day runs dry up at home.. 

Pujara still had 100s in Aus, SA, Eng yet his home runs was his big saviour but the minute that dried up his place became uncertain

openers will always have lower averages than middle order players. Even successful openers in recent times M.Vijay and Cook have below par averages.

 

Rohit has been a revelation in Australia and nothing wrong he did in the WTC. Add to that his slip fielding, he is not going anywhere

Vijay had 100s in Aus, ENG and almost got one in Sa . Cook made tons of runs in series in Aus n India

Rohit has just been great in India,  outside he has been ok but ok will have problem if one or two series goes bad at home.  All it will take is 2 bad series

I said it. Opening Poster just dropped the bomb by creating this thread and Williamson won a world title for his team.
