Scoring runs in Australia these last few years!

In reply to StumpCam

The top 6 with the most runs for the past few years, who don't call OZ home are:

V Kohli: 692 runs @ 86.50 avg
M Vijay: 482 runs @ 60.25 avg
K Williamson: 428 runs @ 85.60 avg
L Taylor: 405 runs @ 81.00 avg
A Rahane: 399 runs @ 57.00 avg
K Pietersen: 294 runs @ 29.40 avg

I wouldn't say those are "every Tom, Dick, & Harry," but great company to have your name mentioned alongside.

PS. I notice big bats Joe Root is missing. haha.

To be fair, Root only toured OZ once, when he barely had a year of test cricket under his belt.

In reply to StumpCam

Don't get fooled by one-off century, bhai.

Consistency is the name of the game.

In reply to RemainsUnknown

Must be the flatter tracks in OZ in recent years!

In reply to CricketLuva4

Wait.... so a dude from pakistan on his first tour (?) there made a big double and Stumpy gloating about it.

But it's unfair to another guy (a guy who is a BIG bats) who played his first tour there and failed after 8 innings at bat?

Life ain't fair, chap.

In reply to StumpCam

Somehow, I think it still would have Lara (in his prime), jumping hopping, and skipping....

In reply to RemainsUnknown

Or did Kohli took advantage of an "old" Mitchell Johhson who was past his prime???

In reply to StumpCam

Where is Spuds when you need him?

In general, when life throws you lemon, you make lemonade... you have to take advantage of opportunities in life when you can. Smart & successful people do this.

I'm taking notes from the President Elect!

In reply to RemainsUnknown

Apples to oranges chap. How old is Azhar Ali, how many tests does he have under his belt?

P.S - Kohli "only" averaged 37.50 on his first tour to OZ. Williamson's first tour was poor too.

In reply to RemainsUnknown

Or why don't we put a new spin on it? Rahane, Vijay and Ali are all better than Root, Williamson and Kohli because they performed on their first OZ tour.
