Shai Hope is incredible....

 
Devin 2019-05-08 15:11:49 

6 centuries already in ODI cricket.

3 against Bangladesh, 1 against Zimbabwe, 1 against Ireland, 1 against India.

He has never faced Australia or South Africa.

He averages 28+ against England, 36 against Pakistan and Sri Lanka, and 8 against New Zealand.

All hail Shai Hope, the new ODI batting sensation.

He's already better as far as I'm concerned. Their respective records at the same stage speak volumes.

Then, why do you always have to play the man instead of the ball and diminish the civility of any cricket discourse about the achievements of other batsmen with your snide tongue in cheek comments?

I have told you repeatedly that you don't have to bring down another cricketer to bring up Kohli. It is not necessary.

Anyway, I take my leave from this thread.

but are you being honest?

He has been incredible against those teams he scored centuries against. Ireland, Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, India.

If Hope is a minnow bully, Kohli is a minnow bully,because the West Indies is a minnow team since 1996.

And here is why, even though Kohli is my best go to batsman in any formatlol lol lol

We all know India is a minnow especially since Hope got a ton against them lol

 
Jamstar 2019-05-08 20:53:38 

How much does he average against Minda

 
Devin 2019-05-08 21:09:11 

In reply to TheTrail

Based on Kohli's ODI stats, every team is a minnow for him.

It's amazing how much clarity one can bring when one does a little bit of research.

Great post Devin. Folks here have amnesia and overreacting over a guys scoring runs against Ireland and Zimbabwe.

I will pass judgement on this fella once the WC is complete.

In reply to johnjo and you and Devin's point? I am looking for the thread where someone compared him to Devin's gaad!

The post has nothing to do with Kohli or anyone else. Hope's ODI record looks good due to his record against minnow teams with weak bowling attacks. Apart from India, whose bowling attack can be tripe at times, Hope has done nothing against any of the big teams, and he hasn't even faced Australia or South Africa.

6 centuries, five of them have come against Bangladesh, Zimbabwe, and Ireland. What is difficult to comprehend?

I suggest that you look up the synonyms for incredible. You dirty, malicious motherspooner.

Where you were heading to with this thread was as clear as daylight.
