MELBOURNE 3rd Test: Australia v India on Dec 26-30, 2014

Kohli is the best all-round batsman in all three forms of the game today. He was also right to stand up for himself.

AB over Kohli for mine, but I also have no problem with his actions. It's good stuff

Johnson pegged the ball at Kohli and hit him,Kohli didn't complain,whinge or even say one word to Johnson afterwards,he just got on with the job,good man that Kohli.

Anyway, what's everyone's thoughts on Virat Kohli :sarcasm:

nice bloke and salt of the earth

 

[Jason Maher]

Seriously, why would you want to fire Johnson up? Spud.

 

[Walt Flanigan]

I missed it the first time. Poor guy looks seriously old. Then again he is 85 or so.

It was at least the fourth time they've put it on.

 

[Twizzle]

stopped raining, cricket soon

 

[Jason Maher]

Good timing. The NFL is on. AFC North playoff for top spot.

 

[Twizzle]

Packs have NFC North tied up

For all the talk of not firing him up he didn't do much with the ball when we really needed him.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Johnson has never done anything against India in Test Cricket,why would they be afraid of firing him up when they completely own him,makes no sense.

Kohli is a great batsman, easily at least top 3 in the world.

But that doesn't stop him from being an obnoxious foul-mouthed twat either.
I don't like him, but there is no doubt about his ability.

 

[Pete Cash]

Wtf do you want from him. The pitch is honestly a disgrace and his fielders weren't backing him up. We know kohli can score runs on roads. He still failed at the gabba. Coincidence ?

Nah

Amla, sanga, ab are obviously better. Smith and Warner have better records and have scored on more diverse pitches, Clarke is a better home batsman.

Even on form mccullum and Matthews have been better. He scored a very nice century but he's still a guy who barely averages over 40 with questions on his ability to score on tricky wickets. Loads of talent though.

 

[Twizzle]

The way he plays a long way from his body, he should struggle on a seamer as his eyeline is not in line with the ball. He also drives on the up a lot which he wont get away with on greentops

Absolutely in regards to both ODI and Twenty20 but not Test cricket,Would honestly be hard to put Kohli in the top 10-15 batsmen in Test Cricket.

 

[Didgi]

Kohli is the kabbage of indian batsmen.

 

[Twizzle]

lols @ Lyon being in the world team

 

[Pete Cash]

That world team sucked

 

[vvvrulz]

I was ranking him overall in all formats, I'd have him in the top 3 in that regard.
Totally agree he isn't top 3 in Test cricket, he probably sits somewhere near the bottom of the top 10

That world team sucked

Ooo what world team? Did Ch.9 dream something up?
