What's new

Top ten ODI batsmen in the last two years

Certainly no less than the WI batters who faced Shadab.

Chahal and Yadav avg 21 and 20 with the ball. Shadab avgs 28. There is no comparision.

Chahal has played 14/23 matches in Asia. Shadab has played 5/17 in Asia. Let’s see what happens.

Yadav I agree is better than Shadab.
 
I would take him over Rohit in a World XI because Rohit is a dot ball machine and goes missing more often than not away from home.

Exactly. Fakhar is probably the best explosive opener in the world now. Especially with Finch and Roy in and out of their teams, Dhawan, Tamim, Guptill and Rohit tuk tuk, and Warner banned.

Any comments? Surprising inclusions or exclusions?

WHAT? No Hafeez in there? :O .... The list is rigged!
 
Actually I just checked and since 2017, Rohit Sharma averages 43.70 at a strike rate of 92 against Aus, Eng, NZ, Pak and SA.

Wowww. What is Rohit Sharma :danish

Overall his career average vs Eng, NZ, Pak and SA is 32.00 at a strike rate of 78.21

If you include Aus then the average shoots up to 42.31 at 86.33 SR. Runs primarily against a second string Australian attack.

What an ATG. :bow:

You are one of the most funniest folks here dude. Did you read the OP?

OP clearly mentioned last two years. You deliberately set it to 1.25 yrs in the first report. In the second, you set it to entire career of 10 yrs.

Nice try.

Rohit is a HTB and glorified minnow basher.

So you're including rohit's early career where he clearly was not an established member of the team. Why don't you check his stats from 2013 onwards when he established himself in the team as an opener.

And here is mighty babar azam's record excluding sri lanka and West Indies.

Averages 38.27 at 82.14 strike rate and if we exclude that selfish, match losing and stats boosting hundred against Australia, he averages a mighty 32.94.

What a future ATG. :bow:

At least Babar can score a century against a full strength Aussie team in their den.

Bichara Rohit has to wait for a second string attack to come to India and bowl pies at him :))

Who is ranked higher? Yeah that’s right :babar

Also lmao. Rohit is 10x more selfish than Babar Azam.

You were saying?

This is indeed a second string attack. Starc carried Cummins (young), Sandhu!, Faulkner, Watson and Maxwell. On flat MCG wicket, Rohit played 139 balls (almost half) and still had a SR under 100.

Oh yeah and India lost the match. Maybe they would've won had Rohit batted better and they set a higher target.
 
Btw this SA playing second string players, Aus playing second string players, etc come to discussion only when we analyze Indian players? Winning against Windies D team should be considered like beating World Champions when discussed about a certain player and a team? :))
 
Wi has Marshall and Ambrose playing in pakistan when Azam made 97. Some posters has a habit of making fool out of themselves daily.

Wow a bowling unit comprising of starc, cummins, watson, faulkner is second string,lol.
 
Inflated massively by not outs. I much prefer RPI (run per innings) since it shows how much a batsman actually scores in that innings, which is what matters. However most cricket experts are obsessed with average

Averages make a lot more sense than you think. It makes no sense otherwise to compare a top order batsman to a finisher because they have completely different roles.
A top order batsman has more chance to settle down at the crease but less chance of carrying his bat through. A finisher is forced to play a much higher risk game because he has no time to settle down before hitting out. So if a batsman is forced to play more high risk cricket because of his batting position, it is only fair to give him brownie points for remaining not out despite playing more high risk cricket than top order batsmen.
