[Hasan123]

The best 2 odi openers imo. In your opnion who do you think is better?

Discuss

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Too close to call

 

[marlonbrowndo]

If Warner hadn't had the year he's had in ODIs then I would say De Kock

 

[Haroon786]

Warner - brilliant year and since ODI tracks are flat all over the world, you can have some confidence he'll perform.

De Kock is just a shade behind.

 

[Sarfarazian92]

Warner, since he is a huge FTB and most tracks these days are flat.

De kock though, is easy on the eye and plays better shots.

 

[Justcrazy]

Warner , terrific player in all formats .

He plays same way in all formats. Takes the game away from opposition. When he scores those runs matter.

 

[Gilly]

De Kock is better when the ball is moving or spin so De Cock.

 

[Ab Fan]

Warner as of now.

 

[Arham_PakFan]

David Warner

 

[GullyCricketFlop]

Warner is the better of the two for now.

 

[ab041937]

There was a time when we used to have Sehwag & Sachin

Now, we are left with Rohit & Dhawan

 

[Aman]

QdK is better IMO.

 

[Protea Fan]

De kock is more versatile he's a very good player of both spin and pace warner is just a decent player when their is some movements

More over 70% of warner's carrier runs came from aus-sa alone and he failed in both srilanka,uae and yet to play at india

So quinny easily

 

[Gilly]

The biggest difference between the two is the WC.

De kock has played 8 WC matches averaging 20.7 SR 80

Warner has played 8 WC matches averaging 49.2 SR 120

 

[volcyz]

De Kock is better

 

[bigdaddymiandad]

De Kock hasn't hit his peak yet therefore Warner is well ahead now. But in a few years De Kock will leave Warner in the dust.

 

[soso_killer]

De Kock is better when the ball is moving or spin so De Cock.

yeah I agree , what do they average away from home? And how many tons have they registered on the road?

I think Warner has played close to 90 matches to QdK 40 odd. Warner should be the favourite to lead the stats here. But de Kock has age on his side.

 

[soso_killer]

The biggest difference between the two is the WC.

De kock has played 8 WC matches averaging 20.7 SR 80

Warner has played 8 WC matches averaging 49.2 SR 120

What do they average against non minnows in WC?

 

[sensible-indian-fan]

De Kock a good player of spin?

When did that happen?

 

[Hasan123]

Warner is a brilliant odi batsmen, but I'll go with De Kock.

 

[Rayyman]

Warner. I never liked De Kock fsr.

 

[idrizzy]

Warner is better as he can take away a game from an opposition singled handedly.

 

[big_gamer007]

Both are good QDK is so young he can become the greatest ODI opener of all time if groomed properly..

 

[Snow]

QDK is the best batsman in this world right now.

 

[Ultimate]

de Kock is better in ODI cricket.

 

[Joseph Gomes]

Kock has much better ODI record overall

 

[dauntless]

Quinton is better he is a very very good batsman he will break many records he is going to be top 2 batsman in an year or two

 

[MenInG]

Warner with a belated score of note - but important one as ahead of WC?

 

[Cricket Warrior]

Warner is likely to score more runs than de Kock in this world cup because he has gained extensive experience playing cricket in India particularly in the IPL.

 

[Savak]

De Kock has been crap for a while now.

 

[sweep_shot]

Warner wins easily.

Warner has had some impactful innings.

 

[hassan918]

This is a hard decision to make but I would go with David Warner as he has a slightly better average and strike rate.

 

[Ali T]

It's a fun thread. Both have been killing it this World Cup

QDK at 431 runs. Strike rate 117
David Warner at 413 runs. Strike rate 112

Both 1 and 2.

Lets see how the games progress.

 

[captain.hansolo]

Contemporary: Rohit sharma
All time: Sachin Tendulkar

 

[Abraham786]

Davy Warner without any doubt an Atg opener in ODIs.

 

[BouncerGuy]

David warner for me. When he gets going there is no stopping. Unusual shots. beautiful to watch him bat. But Dekock has his own class. Not taking credit away from him.

 

[Thephenom]

Warner as he’s been extremely lucky in this tournament being dropped 2 times then going on to make a big score!

 

[mominsaigol]

Warner current or prime? Currently quinton is superior.

All time it's Warner
