Austin 3:!6 Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 In all seriousness, Gilchrist vs ABDV is a good comparision. My vote goes for Gilli though.
Straight Drive Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Lot of runs difference in 264 and 149. I won't compare two innings with a difference of 115 runs. It's massive in ODI context and one can get out many times covering up that difference.
Guldozer Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Come on, 149 in 44 balls is much better. To get that many runs in 44 balls requires some intense hitting.

Also ADB came in with only 1 down in 39th over with 0 pressure

Also ADB came in with only 1 down in 39th over with 0 pressure de Villiers has the potential to score 264 in 173 balls. But does Rohit have the potential to score 149 in 44 balls? No. Scores like 264 in 173 balls seems a lot easier to do than 149 in 44.

I'm not sure if you are being sarcastic but I would actually agree with that. Afridi did it in a time when 250 was a match winning score in ODI cricket, as well as doing it against the world champions. He started the trend. And the fact that it was his first international innings makes it even more spectacular!

No. Scores like 264 in 173 balls seems a lot easier to do than 149 in 44. Don't agree at all until someone scores as many. No point considering things as easy which have not happened apart from Rohit. Let someone else score 264 to see if that is easy or tough.

Let someone else score 264 to see if that is easy or tough. Many people have got close to it in Domestic cricket. But not many have got close 159 in 44 in domestic. The closest anyone has come is Gayle. But seriously, is de Villiers vs Sharma even a question? Everybody outside India would laugh at this.
HippoSucks Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Rohit's 264 was a much better knock than de Villiers' score today, and I'm saying that as a neutral viewer (I'm not a fan of either of them). What is more is that de Villiers' score was against the world's worst bowling attack (including associate countries) while Rohit's knock was against decent Sri Lankan bowling. Let de Villiers get this against Australia and I'll become his biggest fan.

To clarify, I am comparing two innings here, not two players. imo 264 is better than 149 but overall ABD is better cricketer than Rohit considering all formats. But the 264 innings Rohit has played no cricketer has ever played.
velu Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 I rate Afridi's 37 ball hundred as the best one. Thanks to that knock we got to see such entertainment for years. in all seriousness , afridis knock is better .. when afrdi did it , it was the time batsmen use to take 150 balls to score a ton
prinzo Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 You can't compare Rohit and ABDV innings, both is unique in its own way
Marut Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 de Villiers has the potential to score 264 in 173 balls. But does Rohit have the potential to score 149 in 44 balls? No. Scores like 264 in 173 balls seems a lot easier to do than 149 in 44. Rohit 264 is ahead due to the sheer volume. Let ABD prove that he can reach 264 without being dismissed. The journey from 149 off 44 to 264 off 173 isn't a simple one - you can get out easily. Let us not forget that WI has conceded two of the fastest hundreds over the past one year - to Corey Anderson and Jesse Ryder. This is the worst bowling at this level. Rohit double was against a decent bowling attack.

HippoSucks Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Rohit was dropped on 5 in that innings' date='that needs to be considered too[/quote'] de Villiers was a bit lucky on a couple of instances as well.
Temujin Khaghan Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 lol forget rohit ABDV >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kohli
Temujin Khaghan Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 ABDV is the official no.1 batsman after sachin retirement KP should have held the joint position, but t/y ECB :D
Texan Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 How did you guys forget Sahibzada Mohammad Shahid Khan Afridi? :headshake:
