Iconoclast Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Flat track then Kohli ... ball swinging, seaming, bouncing or turning then Amla.
sweetaskandy Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 ^ Yes, as I said Amla is a better bat overall. Him and De Villiers are 1 and 2 in the world overall in both formats.
aceofbase Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Flat track then Kohli ... ball swinging' date=' seaming, bouncing or turning then Amla.[/quote'] kohli's average in sa, eng, aus , nz is 47.0...so its naive to think he cant play in bouncy and swing conditions... I will take Kohli anyday over Amla ..He is mentally tougher than Amla who is a choker...Kohli is an impact player and wins you tough matches...
sweetaskandy Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Why did he do so poorly in English test series if he is so able in seaming conditions? ODI tracks tend to be pretty flat. Against moving ball he was very poor.

Against moving ball he was very poor. Kohli played better against superior attacks in SA and Australia...To judge a player based on a single series in England is not right...Every player has a bad series and that was the case with Kohli..I am sure he will do well in Australia...Mark my words...
sweetaskandy Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Aus is more a test of bounce and pace off the wicket. Eng and NZ are seaming conditions. Here - over 5 test - he was very bad. He may improve - yes, but for now he was badly exposed.
FischerTal Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 Aus has lateral movement but not as much as England/NZ
sweetaskandy Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 the main issue in aus is pace and bounce.
aceofbase Posted November 17, 2014 Posted November 17, 2014 kohli scored centuries in sa ,nz and australia in his first tours there...he missed out only in england...there is no other player in the world who has acheived as much as kohli at his age..

Temujin Khaghan Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 ABDV is no.1 rest of them will fight for second best spot.
Cricket_Hacker Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Another 100 by Amla. How to stop him? get him to chase.
Sachin=GOD Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Fewest inns to 18 ODI 100s 102 Hashim Amla 119 Virat Kohli 159 ABdeV 174 S Ganguly 184 C Gayle #SAvWI
Gollum Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Fewest inns to 18 ODI 100s 102 Hashim Amla 119 Virat Kohli 159 ABdeV 174 S Ganguly 184 C Gayle #SAvWI Just proves that whatever Kohli achieves it will be bettered by the South African Gujju. But Amla bhai cannot ever come close to what Viv and Sachin did in ODIs back in the 80s and 90s.
Marut Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Amla is accumulator in ODIs. Kohli is a match winner. It is a no contest.
Gollum Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Amla is in a different league altogether, best accumulator of runs I have ever seen.
