Is Smith a better test player than Kohli

[G_B_]

I do feel he cheated with the DRS. But I think its time to admit even as Indian fans Smith is a better all-round conditions player than kohli.

 

Some quality spin from Lyon and kohli has faltered at home.

Too early to call IMO. Let's wait and watch.

4 innings half way though the series....kohli has 4 more innings to change my mind

As of now Yes. Stats don;t lie. Especially after more than 50 tests.

Just test player ?

 

He is better player in ODIs too.Scored a 100 in world Cup semi final when Kohli was getting bounced out by Johnson .

 

As for test cricket , yes he has proved himself in all conditions and the best batsman in world cricket.

 

Whereas Kohli has so far only shown he is good in good batting tracks

Umm, there is no comparison between them in ODIs. Kohli is miles and miles ahead.

Kohli has done in bilaterals matches but Smith has done in world Cup knock outs .So rate him higher

Yep Smith is better in tests. But I can live with that.

[OpeningBatsman]

I think Kohli's WC 2011 innings is underrated. Yes, he didn't perform in the SF 2015, but you can;t just ignore the sheer number of matches he has won us from hopeless positions in ODI's n T20s.

one match doesnt make a career. 
Kohli has played amazing knocks, not just in bilaterals but also in multi-way tournaments. He also has 2 centuries in WC.

8 hundreds is exceptional for ODIs

[kosingh]

Smith isn't even number 2 in the world in ODIs

Smith is better than kohli. He is the best batsman in the world all formats combined giving less importance to t20s. He is headache to watch though.

Forget about no. 2, he's not even top 20, he averages 27 at a strike rate of 76 away from home in odis, that's tailender stuff

You are losing it if you calling anyone is better than Kohli in ODI's when Kohli has already scored more runs than anyone of these new ines and won more LOI games for his teams than Smith.

 

 

 

In test yes, Smith is on purple patch and has performed better than Kohlii and even better than most players.

 

But I will stick to what I said, Kohli will surpass them all.
