jusarrived Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 Quite a bit premature I think. 11 out 13 ODI hundreds have come in the subcontinent. 1 hundred against England in England' date= 1 hundred in Australia but that too was against Sri Lanka. A terrific overall record already, but too many blanks still to be filled. Whats with the habbit of putting down any achievement on SC picthes . why are some of us so insecure ? Link to comment
audioman Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I put down these achievements purely because 90% of all ODIs played in the subcontinent end up being played on roads even I could go and bat on. I am going purely by what I see. Small boundaries, with ropes being brought in even further, stupifyingly fast outfields that mean you don't have to earn your runs, wickets with zero help for the faster bowlers, wickets where you play through the line at will, wickets on which technically inept players like the Rainas, the Yusufs and the Yuvrajs score heaps. Just going by what I see. Link to comment
deathmonger Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 don't listen to audioman. he's a lungan whose team has been raped again by us. 4-1 *****es. :hysterical::hysterical: Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 There are many...MSD' date='Raina,UV,Sehwag,SRT[/quote'] Raina and Viru are exceptions.. they don't need to get set. For them it is wast of time Link to comment
Chaos Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 ABDV, guy is amazing. No offense yo kohli but ABDV is notch higher than him. AMAZING test player + odi player + t20. Complete package. He has done ok, but most of his centuries are against sril lanka i believe?. But sure is consistent i would give him that, but destructive? hell no. Link to comment
Yoda-esque Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 When I hear the word destructive, it usually means one that evokes fear in the bowler. MSD,Richards,Sehwag,Yuvi,Raina,KP,Gayle,Gilchrist,Hayden have that effect. Kohli is a meethi chhuri....he'll cut you up with a rapier instead of clubbing you. He is destructive but the bowler doesn't realize it until the damage has been done. Of course, he is not the most destructive player though. Link to comment
singhprakash72 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 don't listen to audioman. he's a lungan whose team has been raped again by us. 4-1 *****es. :hysterical::hysterical: He has a point but I would still point to why no one else is scoring as much as him with same batting conditions. I beleive he has shots and technique to do well in non-subcontinental conditions too but it all depends on his temperament over long run ...so as audioman mentioned it may be too early to call him a legend.
