FTB without a shadow of doubt, scary part is he is in his peak years now...not a newbie or veteran. Compare this to SRT's peak years, let us not even get to the quality of bowling during those days. Kohli SRT comparisions must stop, any person who dares bring this FTB in the same sentence as true greats like SRT, Lara, Viv etc should not be taken seriously. Even a 19 year old Sachin was twice the batsman this brat is ever going to be in his lifetime. Sure he has the fame and $$$ but Kohli will never be a test great for me, this must be the 1st decade since pre SunnyG days that we don't have a single test batsman who we can say is in the top 3-4 in the world.

Watch cricket first then post BS. I am pretty sure you dont even see how he was dismissed

Thing is on difficult pitches most of the dismissals would be like that only. Great players survive those devlieries sometimes. 10 out of 50 times or 100 times. They don't fail 100 out of 100 times.

Lakmal was swinging everything away and even the ball he got out was shaping that way but after pitching it jacked back in. If anyone somehow would have got a bat to it then it would have been because he was playing the wrong line and wasnt covering for swing. If he got out like he got out nicking throughout the England series then i would have criticize too but this ball was just unplayable. This dismissal is similar to when ball suddenly keeps low there is nothing you can do about it

On pitches like these, does not matter who the bowler is. Any accurate bowler can do the damage.  Such pitches completely diminish the qualitative difference between good and average bowlers.

scored 100 on a similar pitch in SA, so, its not 100 out of 100.

 Sachin can't even come close in Odis and T20s so your agenda switched to Tests now..:giggle:

 

Sachin has 6 100s in Aus in 21 yrs 

Kohli has 4 100s in 1 series alone.. 5 100s from 2 series so :flute: Don't talk about Kohli who plays for the team.

With all talks about the pitch and conditions, he has again dismissed cheaply - this time for 0.

 

It's almost certain at least in this format of the game that Kohli will leave the ship in difficult conditions.

 

He has managed well in ODIs so far though.

How many great innings has he played in ODIs on tough pitches?
