Kohli is now the third most successful captain in Test history behind Australians Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting.

India's youngsters, first spotted by Rahul Dravid at the National Cricket Academy, and polished through under-19 and 'A' tours, were ready for Test cricket.

Kohli equaled Lloyd with 36 wins..Lloyd needed 72 tests while Kohli got there in 60..

His bad behaviour arguing with an umpire spoiled it fuh me though....not good for fans of the game. Arrogant man got away with it too. A disgrace.

Viv intimidated umpires and beat up journalists.Lloyd remained a mute spectator when Colin Croft was running into Fred Goodall..Joe Root and many English players intimidated umpires in this series..

Success does not mean best. You, Sir, are an imperialist....our people have always subjugated others... wink

 
Barry 2021-03-07 12:52:48 


Imperialism is a policy or ideology of extending the rule over peoples and other countries, for extending political and economic access, power and control, often through employing hard power, especially military force, but also soft power

What has this got to do with cricket fool..have you been on the weed again...repeat...Kolis behaviour was a disgrace not seen in recent times....and call himself "captain".

Not discussing Viv..
Viv was a different era...read my text...said IN RECENT TIMES.

I laid it all out..you have no balls to talk about Joe? If you don't want to discuss Viv,Lloyd and Joe,shows you are based..

 
jacksparrow 2021-03-07 13:28:32 

this is one that I believe has more to do with the team rather than the captaincy. Never really seen any brilliance as a captain from Kohli

That is a usual characteristic of successful leaders in all facet of life.

Their passion for success sometimes get to them.

Stop embarassing yourself...i have no racial/colour basis with regards to discussions about cricket.What am really concerned about is THE INTEGRITY OF THE GAME . umpires make mistakes...over time mistakes against you and in favour of you cancell each other out...dont recall Viv Richards running to the umpire and arguing about a decision not in your favour...Kohli needs to grow up.. still time fuh the young man to GROW UP.am pleased india won by the way...clearly the better bowling attack.

As long as you don't speak about Joe (Viv and Lloyd), you shall be deemed biased..

This India team reminds me of those two Australia sides.

Experienced side at the top of there game with younger players being added here and there. This team is going to be very hard to beat in a series over the next 18-24 months.

No tactical brilliance needed..Virat built a team with intensity and sense of purpose..the system builds technical and tactical nous..
Was Lloyd a brilliant tactician? He was seen as a good leader who moulded a team of individuals who were outrageously talented..

Fat boy, don’t speak to me through temper confused confused confused confused

Kohli has neutral upms and reviews, probably more home games also.

Alright..I give 20% tip to Lloyd..

So his opponents don't have those? I thought the playing field was level ...

 
granite 2021-03-07 17:50:37 

In reply to camosWe didn't need reviews when we were the bosses of cricket,we had "Four prong".
