^^ I think Cook had better stats in 2010 Ashes.
Yeah actually meant about most centuries(4).He is up there with Sutcliff and other English player. But you are right Cook was special when he tormented Aus attack in 09-10 Ashes.

Scored 766 in a 5 test series. If Kohli had one more test, he'd have a good chance of equalizing.

^ Oz has been good for him' date=' and SA to a lesser extent. If he improves his game (a lot) in Eng and NZ, he can become a great batsman for India; stil has some way to go.[/quote'] Kohli players excellently in NZ tests too. A 110+ , a 60+ and a 30+ out of 4 innings. Out of 4 SA innings he had 119, 96 and 46. So, apart from England...Virat has been amazingly consistent in all other countries in the last 15 months.

He was also very consistent in England... amazingly so :--D Still, it's clear that he's the next big thing (hopefully) of Indian cricket after the Fab 4(or 5) left.

how many of fab 4 did well in all 4 away tours in their first try ? 3/4 is very very good .

These weren't Kohli's first away matches. He also played in WI and his away tour of Oz was the previous one (where his stats were okay, but not great). I'm not downplaying him, but you did say "first try".

Kohli did well in 2 out of 4 (first Oz tour wasn't a bona fide success and we know about Eng). On the whole, I'd say that he's done very well. I'm just worried about the success, etc going to his head or bowlers working him out. Look at Cook - for a couple of years, he was formidable, and now he's back to normal again.

They probably didn't. I do remember that Ganguly and Dravid did well in Eng. The thing is, 3 of them made their debut in 1996 and Goddy in 1989. The 80s and 90s were quite different - almost a different era in terms of the pitches and the quality of bowlers. Hence, I don't believe that a comparison is that straightforward.

^^ Not really. Cork and Mullally played that series and Cork had had excellent series' leading up to this series. Lewis and Martin played good supporting roles in conditions favourable to them.
