JourneyMan Posted September 23, 2012 Posted September 23, 2012 The one thing that worries me about Kohli being the only in-form player at the moment is a potential repeat of the Tendulkar effect, where it's pretty much down to one batsman to perform. If the batsman is out early, then everyone else just crumbles.
King Tendulkar Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Class knock today in tough match and pitch conditions. Great ton. Is learning to be more patient and will go strenght to stregth. I feel a massive ton is round the corner. This kid id special and will have glittering test carrer

I feel a massive ton is round the corner. This kid id special and will have glittering test carrer Please lets not go overboard yet. This pitch was no great shakes.It was difficult to score off but not difficult to stay on. Even the new guy Root with no experience managed to bat an entire day. Lets reserve our judgement.

King Tendulkar Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Well he is the highest run scorer in world cricket for 2012. Yes I know that inlcudes odi runs but still an amazing achievment. He has ton in oz already in tests. Plus 2 tons in england albeit in odis. It shows his ability to play on overseas pitches and play bounce and moving ball. He will be rated best in world one day, not as soon as OP thinks but certainly in next 3 or 4 years
Silva Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 If he doesn't succeed in test cricket it definitively won't be because of a lack of effort.
wobblydoggy Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 He will be legend Lets see how he does in the next few years in a weaker team than he has enjoyed up till now
Old guy Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Lets see how he does in the next few years in a weaker team than he has enjoyed up till now can it get any more weaker?
SLICKR392 Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Lets see how he does in the next few years in a weaker team than he has enjoyed up till now After letting you guys take the lead on dust bowls, you think the team can get any less weaker? :((
King Tendulkar Posted December 15, 2012 Posted December 15, 2012 Lets see how he does in the next few years in a weaker team than he has enjoyed up till now Trust me this is at weak as it gets. Team will only get better now. So ironically what you say is opposite, its less see how it does in team stronger then what he has enjoyed up till now

So ironically what you say is opposite' date=' its less see how it does in team stronger then what he has enjoyed up till now[/quote'] I disagree He had four years nearly with Dravid etc in the team That team declined But now he will have a bunch of people who have to make their names and will be looking to him a senior player for guidance and support. I do not think his game is ready for that like say, cooks is. Bell I would say the same of and he has been around longer
The Outsider Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 ^ Four years? Kohli made his debut last year in West Indies.

I do not think his game is ready for that like say, cooks is. Bell I would say the same of and he has been around longer 4 years ??? wake up googly. Once again showhing how you dont follow world cricket but only england. Cook was awful in oz, tragic but learnt from it and improved. Kohli will learn and improve in a similar way

express bowling Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Kohli can play the bouncing ball, the moving ball, the spinning ball and has won a lot of odi s for India playing under pressure. He has all the ingredients of becoming a top notch match winner for India. Whether he becomes a statistician's delight and plays for 20+ years is immaterial.

wobblydoggy Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 I was right he made his debut in 2008 in an ODI
JaFanatic Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 I was right he made his debut in 2008 in an ODI he was a 19 yr old guy also wasnt a regular in the XI
wobblydoggy Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 he was a 19 yr old guy also wasnt a regular in the XI I was still right
