Kohli is good but don't think he can catch ABDV in tests.

I think you need to clarify your understanding of what constitutes a dust bowl. for your information a dust bowl is not any match played anywhere at any time in India.

Please...he has done well even on those type of tracks against best spin bowling attack of Pakistan His recent hundred I UAE is best example And if u mean tracks where 100 runs are hard to score the. I don't think even tendulkar was great on so called dust bow

then seaming/bouncing tracks are not all the wickets played in England, Australia and South Africa... both the wickeets for test matches india played in sa recently were on the flatter side... but if a subcontinent player gets a century on a flat track in England, he is suddenly hailed as a specialist in swinging conditions :D no one can do a match by match analysis... we see the country wise data to get a rough idea about how good the player is in those conditions

[fineleg]

Yep SA can feel proud to have the World's Best Batsman and World's Best Bowler playing at the same time. A while ago, they also had the World's Best Allrounder (of this era) playing in the 11 along with those two as well.

Praising ABDV as greatest batsman of current period is just a premature ejaculation.

Thanks for stating the obvious- not all tracks in England/non sub continent are seaming conditions. This is why we don't hail Shikhar Dhawan and Ajit Agarkar as masters of playing the swinging/seaming ball just because of scoring a century in NZ/England. Country wise data is fine but don't say dust bowl which has a specific meaning referring to tracks with vicious turn.

Why go as high as Tendulkar....Pujara and Ganguly are even great on dust bowls. ABDVs double century in Ahmedabad came on a Patta for spin bowling. Look at the total number of wickets taken in that game by spinners.

This is the only time I've seen ABDV play on a dust bowl http://www.espncricinfo.com/indvrsa/engine/current/match/332913.html

Choker with multiple evidence for support.

Yes. The other innings were in SC, but they were not dust bowls. His 270 odd was on the flattest wicket. Kallis even brought that up to the ICC about how flat and sportless wickets they were. Kohli's a match winner, better than AB now. Period.

[maniac]

Great player but big time Choker....I think the S.A Choker tradition will continue with him in charge....Faf looks like the only guy in the team who is not a choker :hmmm: Amla,Devillers,Steyn,Morkel etc all have the choker bug
