Wow, you’ve now discovered what an away average is! I’m impressed! Even though both players away averages have already been posted and discussed in the thread
They’re the 8th ranked test team. You’re so desperate that you’re bragging about runs against Alzarri Joseph?? Sheesh, that’s a new low. Makes sense though when it’s been 10 years since you won an ICC trophy

I mean forget ICC titles, Kohli couldn’t even perform in an IPL final.You know a Pakistani fan has embarassed himself/herself and lost the argument when they bring up "ICC titles for 10 years" In a completely non-related discussion.
Thanks for the sign.
It doesn't matter, if he can't perform at big stage. He is a choker.
These days many make him a club level ametuer. Kohli, Rohit, Gill, Warner, Markram, Conway, Malan, Mendis....
Babar has a great PR machinery by the look of it. They keep bombarding with tweets "King babar this king babar that" while putting down other contemporary greats just to attract more responses. They monetize using those posts. Kohli has the biggest social media base by country mile. So they indulge in this comparison. They don't compare him with guys like Conway, Warner, Markram as nobody cares about those comparison.
Obviously he has always been compared with fab four & Rohit mostly since those guys get most clicks. Then at times clowns & stooges like Rameez, Sohail or Bazeed name drop Lara, Sachin, Ponting, Bradman to create more controversy. At this stage, it's safe to say he is the most overrated "legendary" batsman of the history. I was reluctant to give him this title since I think that crown belongs to one & only Kallis, but Babar is forcing me to actually appreciate & soften up on that selfish proteas.
He can’t even read what comes out of his handle. You have to blame the fool handling his account.
I always consider Akram a level headed commentator. But even he kept using the tag "World no.1 batsman" every time. There was a question posed to viewers Bumrah vs Babar who will win the contest. First it was 90% - 10% in favor Bumrah. Akram got a bit touchy forgetting this is just a trivial segment which just captures which audience watch the match more. He was like "How can no.1 batsman have only 10%"
But ofcourse numbers changed somewhat later. But he was hoping more like 50-50.
Yeah, extremely well said. There are lots of cricketers who may not be the best in their era, but very good nonetheless. Azharuddin was one of my real heroes and he was never as good as Sachin. But he was adored all over the country and had his own achievements. Babar is an excellent batsman, nice on the eyes, composed and well -balanced player. One of the reason I come to this forum is to see others opinion on Pakistan players. But continuously seeing him and others being hyped is just revolting. Let him be Babar. He will do fine and he will leave his own legacy. It doesn't have to be as good as Virat's legacy and that's okay
What was the tweet? Who tweeted? Out of loop
What a lofty argument? What Drive did Sunil Gavaskar had to be the first 10k man? Or Kapil Dev to be the first Indian fast bowler? Great players have inate drive and determination inbuilt. You don't need examples yo follow as it comes from within.
That is Akram's stock template. You wont be able to find a line without the "One of the best batter....", "Best bowler..." etc phrase. Not specific about Babar.I always consider Akram a level headed commentator. But even he kept using the tag "World no.1 batsman" every time.

Akram is one of the worst sleep inducing commentators. So boring . And the classic- and the score is 200 for 4 line lol ! Just reading the scoreboard. Man some of these great players are such boring commies- akram waqar kapil tendulkar Lara viv-Richards-- amazes me such flamboyant great players but so such horrible come inducing commies
His career will end playing fast class leagues
Even Rizwan is better batsman than this lool guy,
he does have. The whole thread and points are about comparisons with Kohli/Sachin and other batting greats.
With each passing day, I get convinced that it was Rambo's idea. Only he could of thought of something so cringeworthy. Babar being the admin of Kohli fanclub immediately agreed as he must have felt it would endear him more towards his idol. Babar isn't that smart or bright to make up something like this on his own.
You have to understand from where Akram was coming from. Originally he was one of the fewest former Pak cricketers who used to criticize Babar's failures & chokings, last year after Pak jobbed to Zim he couldn't control himself anymore & kind of burst the bubble of Babar's aura. He also revealed how Babar selfishly dictates everything in psl franchise. What happened next was Pak by sheer stroke of luck made it to the finals & the entire toxic fanbase then went upon Akram & humiliated him mercilessly. Since then Akram has become more self aware whenever he talks about Babar. Make no mistake he is not a member of Babar fanclub like those stooges Ramiz or Sohail. He just mellowed himself because he has realized that the fanclub is too emotional & intolerant.I always consider Akram a level headed commentator. But even he kept using the tag "World no.1 batsman" every time. There was a question posed to viewers Bumrah vs Babar who will win the contest. First it was 90% - 10% in favor Bumrah.

There are enough things Babar can /could have set up his mind which were done by his own countrymen. Other than chasing Anwar's 20 century there are many more, if he was really ambitious enough. Younis has set a great standard for a proper test great, Anwar has terrific numbers in icc tournaments, he is not even remotely close to what Miandad, Inzy & Yousuf have achieved. If he had a proper brain on his head & wasn't guided by stooges like Rameez he would have realized there are enough things to do simply as a Pak batsman. He should have first concentrated on becoming the best Pak, but instead he became too obsessed with the entire number 1 ranking, 60 average & all those silly comparisons.
No, that comparison wasn't as silly as this one. Anwar while never was as good as Sachin was, he was legitimately one of the fewest back in the 90's who were around Sachin's caliber & match winning ability. Up until 99, only Lara, Anwar & Mark Waugh were close enough to Sachin in odi's. Sachin >Anwar while Kohli >>>> Babar.
Lol you guys are comparing 29 year old Babar with 24 year old Kohli..
Babar prime<<<< Kohli post prime.
But still Babar has already broken many of his records and many more to come.
Babar can break meaningless record. He need to Dominated in test cricket outside the subcontinent.
Why didn't you compare Babar with Virat when Virat himself was out of form?
Well he earned that spot!
No he doesn't. They have been doing that for more than a decade. Root has 11000 runs. Kohli/Smith/Williamson have more than 8000 runs. Babar has not reached 4000 mark yet. They have more away/neutral runs than Babar's total runs.
No he hasn't. Fab 4 was a term coined by Martin crowe to refer to a group of 4 particular players who belonged to the same age group. Babar could be the next bradman but he will never be a part of the fab 4 because he belongs to a different age group, just like ab and rohit were never a part of the fab 4
There are so many comparison threads bump another one. For now Rahul vs Babar
If Kohli does this, it will definitely boost the morale of Babar Azam.Kohli would break the Internet if he posts this rn
From memory he has 1 century in Aus, 0 in NZ, 0 in England, 0 in SA
How many he has in tests?
