Texan Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Of course, he has only played as opener in Aus, Pak and UAE. He might not do as well in swinging conditions in Eng or NZ. https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/215155.html?batting_positionmax1=2;batting_positionval1=batting_position;class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=default;template=results;type=batting And on a separate note, what a comeback this has been from him! Before he was recalled, he used to average 40. Now he is averaging 47! https://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/215155.html?class=1;filter=advanced;orderby=start;template=results;type=batting;view=cumulative Link to comment
Serpico Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 He scored 4 centuries (and 2 90s) in his last 9 innings since comeback. Insane run. Won't be surprised if he retires with higher avg than warner Link to comment
Dery Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 He is older than Kohli & still scoring hundreds for fun Link to comment

Oval test was unbelievably flat. Kohli just kept failing. Link to comment
Dery Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Kohli is done for. Better to accept the inevitable Link to comment

Defending Kohli (or putting down Khawaja) wasn't my motive. Anyway pitches in this Pak-Aus series are waaaay too docile, unlike any I have seen in recent times. Btw it seems ICF hates Kohli more than they hate padosis. sensible-indian 1 Link to comment

Nikola Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 Should be back in LOI's as well and replace Finch who has been in poor form for them for pretty long now. Cummins can do captaincy in limited overs till 2023 worldcup easily. Link to comment
