Average of 47.6 and dropping fast.

At this rate it’ll plummet to under 45 before the series is done

You asking answers

Commentators stated an incredible statistic as he came to the crease.

In spite of his recent lack of production, for the past 5 years. Kohli averages 124….THATS RIGHT…..ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR against fast bowlers bowling 140 kmh plus.

I have no idea who keeps a statistic like that, or how accurate it is, but if it’s true…..THAT IS ABSOLUTELY INSANE!!!

Kohli is a test great undoubtedly. Yes he going down…… in the end age beats us all and the pressure he has played under is unreal. In fact it is greater than Tendulkar’s because whereas SRT played in a side that did not win away from home and weren’t expected to win away from home, and therefore his pressure was simply to score a hundred, Kohli has carried the weight of a lineup way inferior to himself( overrated Rohit dharma has never scored a hundred outside of India in England once and in the WI woth Holder as captain, nuff said), captained the team to an unprecedented win in Australia leading with the bat again. Kohli is undoubtedly a test great

Certainly a great in my view even if his career ends mid to upper 40s.

What is great, because there are greats like Sangakarra and Hayden and McGrath and greats like Tendulkar and Lara and Warne.

If is middle level great then by all means yes.

If is immorality level great then maaan give me a break!

Music, the fast bowling statistic is like sarge. Ta ta. Imagine if Oshane Thomas and Tino Best throwing balls at you whole day. Careful with them niche in contextual ‘records’. They mean little on their own in a whole innings.

With the proliferation of T20, T10, even T5 cricket around the world, Test batting Averages are plummeting. Batsmen are more loose in their techniques and lapses in concentration. Those who play Tests cricket would be better at adapting to T20, but by the same token, the habits of T20 batting creep into their batting approach and diminish their technique.
