Number Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 lol who ever is compared with Kohli starts falling down. Rohit Sharma, Akmal, Bravo. Cook is next in the line.
Precambrian Posted October 2, 2012 Author Posted October 2, 2012 Bravo 19 tests, 1,420 runs @ 44.37. 3 hundreds and 7 fifties Kohli 10 tests, 703 runs @ 41. Unless I am missing something, Bravo has more runs and a better average than Kohli in tests at this point in time, so what is wrong in suggesting he's the better test batsman at the moment? People are a tad blinded by Kohli's amazing run of form in ODIs and T20s. Read the OP carefully again,

Read the OP carefully again, ur missing seeing matches .. bravo has been getting worse ..i think he flopped at home vs aussies i think his average is inflated by scoring runs against our tundlers on flat tracks
Precambrian Posted October 2, 2012 Author Posted October 2, 2012 ur missing seeing matches .. bravo has been getting worse ..i think he flopped at home vs aussies i think his average is inflated by scoring runs against our tundlers on flat tracks And Kohli's was boosted tremendously by performing against New Zealand on indian wickets as well? Bravo had a dip in form, without doubt, but I think he's the class to come out of it and average 50+ in the long run. So does have Kohli. I don't want to make any definite judgement at this point in time. I hope this turns out to be the next Lara vs Sachin debate in the coming decade and half.

He won't average over 45 in long run. Till now he has struggled facing good bowling. In England and in West Indies as well. Think Samuels outbatted him in England while England bowlers were not even at their best.
achilles Posted October 2, 2012 Posted October 2, 2012 Tbh, haven't seen as much of Darren, as I have of Virat. So I'll pick Virat.
