maniac Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 2 guys I didn’t think of as much but their fearless attitude has absolutely won me over. Livingstone is a fearsome hitter, Sky is more of a innovative and unorthodox player but never a dull moment when he is on the pitch. 2 guys to watch out for this WT20 I guess. Who will win the battle of the hottest middle order bats in the world raki05 and CodeOfWisden 2
Ankit_sharma03 Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Devdutt SKY Livingstone List lambi hoti jaa rahi hai
Ankit_sharma03 Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Both have their own strengths - who is better needs to be seen over a period of time.
Lord Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 SKY is more versatile.Can operate at 120-130 SR while looking safe and without too much risks.That's rare.Will be more consistent and win more games Livingstone is a power hitter.Will chase down impossible targets but wont be consistent Sgattick10 1

Jay Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 Sky way better overall. Sky has serious potential. He is 30 already though.
Ankit_sharma03 Posted July 20, 2021 Posted July 20, 2021 IPL n PSL will play a key role in improving Livingstone game in middle overs against Spin ENG, AUS, SA, NZ ke patta pe usko koi problem nahin hone wali

Not cut out for T20. He can swing the ball and has very good batting technique, who knows might evolve into the next Stokes. There are quiet a few players who cloud are judgement because they flop in T20. Edited July 20, 2021 by maniac

Like who wasnt rated much but improved with constant backing, lacked natural talent of stokes but still wudnt of that impact as others in LOI. Sam on other hand is far more gifted and a great fighter In test he is ATG and largely due to home condition, not that he is bad away but at home he makes a serious impact. Impact is what makes u legend which is what is missing in his LOI career. Impact wud be the same thing that wud be missing from Tom curran i feel , He wud be someone at best who ll team man who does the job day in day out like Thakur wud be in future with occasional brilliance. But these wud never fall in same category of maxwell, pollard, russell, stokes or in future- pandya, sam curran . Its a long way for Tom, need to work really really hard .

Jaddu is an ATG in test , i dnt consider him an ATG in LOI.......conversation is bascially about LOI To add 1 minute ago, Ankit_sharma03 said: In test he is ATG and largely due to home condition, not that he is bad away but at home he makes a serious impact.

That’s what I am also saying that Tom might not succeed in T20 or even odi but might be good in tests. Actually he debuted way before Sam in ashes iirc few years back. Sam Curran is already a hot property in world cricket and might only get better but I would reserve writing off Tom completely based on dumb T20’s . There is something there.

Test im not at all sure of Tom as i hvent seen much of him in county but may be they can replace him with Sam in certain conditions as Sam bowling outside england isnt that effective and he can pushed back in batting with barrage of short pitch as well. Sam needs time to develop in test in all condition, in that time they can use Tom but i hvent seen much of his county performances In LOI, Tom might just find his way and ENG TM have decided to back him n Livingstone a lot for future
Lone Wolf Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Livingstone is a utility player as well beside being a power player. He is younger than SKY as well. SKY meanwhile is just awesome.. He will leave bigger impact than Livingstone while batting. But Indian TM may not properly utilize him.
Sean Bradley Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) Livingstone any day of the week, SKY is good, but Livingstone is a freak, can bowl off spin leg spin googly, send the ball to orbit, can hit flat sixes. Comparing SKY to Livingstone is unfair. SKY is a different kind of a player, Livingstone is a Beast. Edited July 21, 2021 by Sean Bradley raki05 and Sgattick10 2
Sgattick10 Posted July 21, 2021 Posted July 21, 2021 Livingstone. Exceptional talent SKY is super too but not at L's level
