I am the one who wrote a detailed response to your post in the "Chit Chat" section for buying your "iPhone in India" [1]. Also, as a matter of fact - I did NOT bump this thread (please scroll up). My previous username was "mcenley". Go ahead, give me your best shot. [1] http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showthread.php?t=286363

The issue was never his technique ' date=' but his approach to test cricket ...got to understand that hes only played LOI's and very little Ranji as well ...he was trying work some balls on offstumps for singles which should have been left alone ..but thats somting he will learn more he plays ..[b']for me if hes not ready for tests , no other indian youngster is .
Proved me right :two_thumbs_up:

kohli is here to stay....but the SA tour will be the real test for him....for the matter of fact any youngster....The only guys whoshowed brillaiance on those pitches for us were the likes of SRT,VVS,Azhar etc.....but right now no matter how much we hype our young brigade....expect Pak like scores on that tour especially with SA now having their best attack ever Still al ong way to go though

what about Sehwag, Warner, Watson? Kohli will be fine in couple of years. Keep him in top 6. Right now I would really want to introduce a new opener in the game and Sehwag at #5. Drop Kohli at #6 for now. RD was in the middle within first 10 overs. 2 of 4 times, SRT was in the middle in the first 10 overs. Playing first 20 overs is diminishing art/style of test cricket. A notion of giving an honor for the first hour of the day to the bowling team has completely forgotten. Dont expect any team to do well. T1 First Innings 8th over T1 Second Innings 6th over T2 First innings 3rd over T2 Second innings 1st over
Not bad. Still holds true. Get Sehwag at #5. Too many lower order players right now. MSD, VK, VS. I think this batting order will settle after Sachin retires.

He did not have a great start even in ODIs but he improved as he played more. His 10-20 ODIs were poor and was dropped as well. He is a mentally determined guy and will certainly get better. Even Dravid and Ganguly did not do much on their first Aus tour. First he must play as many tests in India which will certainly help his confidence. It is more about confidence rather technique. He played some good innings in ODIs in SA where all others failed against a raging Morkel, fast Styen and accurate and bouncy Sosobe and those were lively pitches.
I think I got it right.:--D

Kohli fails even on easy paced tracks. He has proved several times he is found wanting at Test level. Rohit may or may not succeed. But he looks a better prospect than Kohli for tests.
Easiest paced track in the world at Perth.:dance:

Bit harsh on Kohli! First of all' date=' it is not easy position to bat at +6 for a top order player like Kohli. At the most he should bat at #4. He is definitely test material and he should be given a long haul in the team, best bet would be play him at the top.[/quote'] :hatsoff: I still think he should play at #4. Afer sachin retires, Kohli should take that position.
