[VIDOES] Nicholas Pooran vs Rishabh Pant

[Mobashir]

Two young modern day wicket keeper batsmen. Who do you think is better?

For me, Pooran has a better technique, a better temperament also than Pant. It will be good if West Indies do select him for the Tests too.

Nicholas Pooran also had a great world cup.

 

[spiderreddy]

Good thread. Both are great talents. Pooran is ahead in ODIs at the moment.

Without going into stats, so far Pooran just look the more settle and better player of the two.

However, Pant is an absolute match winner, someone who can terrorise not just opposition but even his fans. Hence, in a longer run, he is my pick.

What I have seen of Pant is more terrorizing for telespectators eyes.
Pooran also has the devastating game and can be at least as devastating as Pant.

I can feel the pain in your fingers while typing that post. It must be pretty hard for you to agree with OP isn't it? From next Gilchrist to rating Pooran over Pant? That didn't take long.

I don't think teams need to make a strategy to get him out. Pant will take care of it himself and gift his wicket away by going for a glory shot.

I don't think we have a next Gilly in any of them, but you know there is just one Gilly.

Pooran can really become a great wk batsman to me. Maybe even Pant but so far he hasn't shown it at the international level.

Well, you haven't seen much of him. None have.He has just started and will go long way.

Already showed his mettle in the real cricket,real format of the game- Test Cricket by smashing hundred in England and Australia, not a home track bully by any means.

Saying Pooran is better in ODIs at the moment doesn't mean I rate Pooran over Pant overall. It's based on what they achieved in ODIs so far. And I didn't even talk about tests because everyone knows who is better at the moment. And it won't hurt me even if Pooran ends up having a better career than Pant because I know what Pooran has gone through in his life.

Ridiculing Pant and thinking about my posts seem to be the only purpose you have in your life

 

[Ram Shekhar]

Lol.. what a joke.. Pooran is potentially the next West Indian great and we have Pant who is a disgrace to the art of batting. Even we Indians know and genuinely admit he is a joke. Please don't embarrass us with these silly threads.

As I said earlier, you can bookmark my post again. Pant will finish his test career with an average of below 30. You think its a joke maintaining an average of 50 throughout one's career? Ask guys like Joe Root and Sir Alistair Cook how difficult it is to maintain that average. The more Pant plays test cricket the more he is going to get exposed.

I can see you are trying to run away from me now. You can check your last 100 posts and how you were desperately quoting me. You should not have any problem with me quoting you now.

Pooran is a proper batsmen who can hit big..Pant is a slogger who can block sometimes... i would more rate Pant with Jnr Akmal , both mindless sloggers who got tagged as "next big thing" Akmal is a failure, lets see where Pant finishes

What makes you think that I'm running away from you ? Desperately quoting you? Seriously ? Are you some pretty girl or what ?

Like I said earlier u seem to have too much confidence on your fortune-telling parrot that tells u Pant will end up with an average of below 30. Even if that happens he can be proud that he has achieved something that none of the other Indian wicket keepers have achieved - test hundreds in England and Australia

Your standards have dropped significantly. From becoming the best wicketkeeper batsman ever to someone who will feel proud of his below 30 average and two test hundreds in Eng(lost) and Aus(won but against the weakest side ever).

Well, Indian test wicket keepers of the past haven't set any high standard for me to feel bad if Pant doesn't end up being the best ever. Pant with a test rank of 14 has raised the Indian wicket keepers standard. Prior to him the best ranked test keeper we had was farookh engineer and his rank was 17

 

[Mobashir]

Nicholas Pooran plays another important innings for his country to win them the match. Brilliant player. West Indies better start playing him in Test as soon as possible.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Pooran seems like a level or two above Pant.

Pant is exciting when he is slogging around but isn't a complete batsman. Pooran oozes class.

Pooran is a talent in the league of someone like Lokesh Rahul or Aiden Markram.

 

[Hasan123]

Pooran is very talented, but Pant will be the better player imo.

 

[Bewal Express]

Pants will have the better career because the expectations are higher in Ind than in the Windies and if doesnt show the desired result there are 4 or 5 others guys that will work hard and produce the results. In terms of talent they are pretty much on par.

 

[Boiz Played Well]

Pooran is the better limited overs talent right now IMO. He can both construct an innings and go hard at the opposition. He's definitely the better ODI player if one's to go by List A and ODI stats.

But Pant has the edge in test and first-class cricket. He can do better in limited overs than he is right now but that's also a result of his [expected] role. Pooran takes more time at the crease. Whereas Pant seems to be under pressure even when he has batted in most ODIs at 4th and 5th.

If Pant does well in test cricket AND IPL, it might suggest his below par limited overs results are more mental than skill-related.

dont know how and why both Rahul and markram are so highly rated despite continuous failures. Just no. Rahul id dud fodder who simply isnt good enough.
atleast markram performs at home.

 

[Mobashir]

It's a false idea that Pant is doing well in Test cricket. He has been dropped for a reason.

His 2 hundreds in England and Australia were pretty much meaningless knocks. He had a lot of opportunities, especially in England, to play an important innings but he kept failing repeatedly. For the moment, he hasn't done anything of note in Test Cricket.

I think the idea is he's relatively better than Pooran in red ball cricket. Pooran is a limited overs specialist, has only played three first-class games and averages 23.83. No test cricket under his belt.

Pant may not have done anything of much note in test cricket yet, but he averages 50.97 across 34 FC matches. And 44.35 in 11 tests. For a 22-year old, that indicates the presence of talent and skill. Whether he converts that into performances or goes down the Umar Akmal route remains to be seen.

He will go down the Umar Akmal way. Look at the way he throws his wicket away. It's quite similar to Umar Akmal.

Surprisingly some Indian fans who used to make fun of Umar Akmal fans for giving preference to the word 'talent' over 'performance' are doing the exact same thing now. Some fans want to give Pant 80 more matches to establish himself in LOI's even if he fails in those matches lol.

One or two good knocks won't make him a good test player. It took just 1 bad series to brought him to an average of 44 from 50.

Some of these noobs who have just started watching cricket thinks maintaining an average of 50 in test cricket is damn easy. Look at Joe Root's average for example. You have to perform consistently to maintain that average.

With Sanju Sampson and Ishan Kishan making strong cases for themselves, India has the luxury to choose. They should make the most of it. Umar Akmal stuck around for so long because Pakistan kept thinking they don’t have anyone to replace him even though he lost his mind halfway through batting in most of his innings.

Watched a bit of Pooran in the T10 the other day. Incredibly talented ball striker.

Both him and Hetmyer have bags of ability but unfortunately they will not be able to fulfill their potential because of WICB.

Pooran is much better than Hetmyer. Hetmyer's fitness is poor. Pooran is a special player but Pant is destined for greatness.

Comparisons of Rishabh Pant with Umar Akmal is pretty laughable. Pant should be compared with Gilly, Flower, ABDV and Sangakkara.

Bookmark this post as well. He will end up with 45+ average in all formats and will do really good in LOIs as well.

Pant is a Gilchrist level talent. Pooran is not far behind but he will never have a great Test career because he plays for West Indies.

In terms of raw ability , Hetmyer is almost as gifted as Lara, but yes he does not seem to have the attitude of a top player and the fact that he plays for WI does not help either.

1.3 billion IPL market is enough for him to become a star. He is the best talented youngster in the world by far

 

[Mamoon]

1.3 billion IPL market is enough for him to become a star. He is the best talented youngster in the world by far

He has the potential to succeed in Test cricket as well. The main reason behind the demise of West Indies cricket is the lack of county exposure.

Back in the day, a talent like Pooran would be playing county cricket at this stage, and by 29-30, he would be a brilliant Test cricketer.

No way bro... you are bit exaggerating.
Abraham Benjamin De Villiers is a "once in a lifetime player".

 

[Mobashir]

Altought I think Pooran is quite ahead of every other wicket keeper around in every format apart QdK, he may not have a good career because he is a west Indian.
With the ongoing tour of Bangladesh and most of their cricketers playing T10 I think it's time to stop believing in West Indian cricket.

 

[Bewal Express]

Pooran is wasting his talent with rubbish like T10. He should be the Windies Test Keeper and batting at 6

 

[Forward Defensive Push]

Pooran is a better T20 and ODI player (for now at least). Pant is hands down one of the most exciting test prospects among youngsters.

 

[Romali_rotti]

Genius.

Come on Mamoon, you are being cruel now...

His understanding of cricket is actually decent compared to most others here, but his problem is his phobia of Indian players. It gets the better of him most of the time.

If feeling Pooran is ahead, talent wise to Pant and other wk keepers going around the world (barring QdK) is Indian Phobia then I can't help you'.

 

[jusarrived]

Pooran is better bat overall, no reason Pant cant improve ..but at this point I would pick Pooran, especially in shorter formats.

 

[BaankeJi]

Pooran is better bat overall, no reason Pant cant improve ..but at this point I would pick Pooran, especially in shorter formats.

Pooran has not played a single Test. How can he be better overall?
Pant has played in all 3 formats. That alone settles this debate.
Pooran's record in ODI is much much better than Pant. So Pooran is a better ODI player.
Their T20I records are comparable.

Overall, Pant is better- no questions there.

 

[Mamoon]

You can rate Pooran higher if you want, that is not a problem.

However, your over the top criticism of Pant prior to the Australian series and how you concluded that his hundreds in Australia and England in 2018 were meaningless and not noteworthy showed your bias.

A 20-21 year old subcontinent batsman playing in his first tours of Australia and England and ends up scoring hundreds in both countries is an illustration of remarkable talent.

Take a look at how Kohli batted in his first England tour and how Babar batted in his first Australian tour.

What Pant did in Australia and England in 2018 was not useless and very much noteworthy, and it was a glimpse of what he was going to do achieve in the future.

Anyone with any semblance of understanding of cricket knew that it was only a matter of time before he becomes a devastating match-winner at this level, and what he did in Australia in this series was not surprising.

Your narrative on Pant would have been completely different if he wasn’t Indian.

 

[Romali_rotti]

His understanding of cricket is actually decent compared to most others here, but his problem is his phobia of Indian players. It gets the better of him most of the time.

I just saw Pooran bat for the first time and to be fair he looks very good, great prospect. Is he more talented than Pant ?? That depends on choice, Pant obviously is the proven product.. Yes our guy here does have bit of an India Phobia though regardless

 

[CanadianG00se]

Pooran is better bat overall, no reason Pant cant improve ..but at this point I would pick Pooran, especially in shorter formats.

On what basis is Pooran better ‘overall’ when he haven’t even played a test match( most difficult format)?

Nicholas Pooran averages 49 in ODI's, Pant on the other hand averages 26 in ODI's. Pant's first job is to find a regular place in ODI team first.

Earlier when comparisons were made.. you started with Tests, Now when he has done well now you have changed your tune to ODI and LOI cricket.
Try harder to remember, I would suggest or Better, learn to scroll up a page. Its easy.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

I can feel the pain in your fingers while typing that post. It must be pretty hard for you to agree with OP isn't it? From next Gilchrist to rating Pooran over Pant? That didn't take long.

I don't think teams need to make a strategy to get him out. Pant will take care of it himself and gift his wicket away by going for a glory shot.

Saying Pooran is better in ODIs at the moment doesn't mean I rate Pooran over Pant overall. It's based on what they achieved in ODIs so far.

You are pretty dumb. You need to scroll up and read all the above posts. I started with ODIs and was discussing it with that reddy guy. We were also discussing the tests in other threads and I was reminding him about that below 30 averaging stuff in the other thread.

Nobody has changed the tune. It's just in your excitement you forgot the topic at hand which was about their comparisons in ODI's and he is way ahead of Pant in ODI's. So where was I wrong?

I can feel the pain in your fingers while typing that post. It must be pretty hard for you to agree with OP isn't it? From next Gilchrist to rating Pooran over Pant? That didn't take long.

I don't think teams need to make a strategy to get him out. Pant will take care of it himself and gift his wicket away by going for a glory shot.

Saying Pooran is better in ODIs at the moment doesn't mean I rate Pooran over Pant overall. It's based on what they achieved in ODIs so far. And I didn't even talk about tests because everyone knows who is better at the moment. And it won't hurt me even if Pooran ends up having a better career than Pant because I know what Pooran has gone through in his life.

Ridiculing Pant and thinking about my posts seem to be the only purpose you have in your life

As I said earlier, you can bookmark my post again. Pant will finish his test career with an average of below 30. You think its a joke maintaining an average of 50 throughout one's career? Ask guys like Joe Root and Sir Alistair Cook how difficult it is to maintain that average. The more Pant plays test cricket the more he is going to get exposed.

I can see you are trying to run away from me now. You can check your last 100 posts and how you were desperately quoting me. You should not have any problem with me quoting you now.

I can't take the heat? Trolls like you keep accusing me of playing to the Pakistanis here, call me traitor and what not but when I respond it becomes personal.

Pant is not a GOD. He is not above criticism. I will criticise him when I feel it and I will praise him if he plays like he did in the recent series. You were not calling me out here. You actually exposed your limited knowledge of surfing in forums and the keyword 'context' when the posts was made. Not to mention the date it was made on and the time it took for idiots like you to respond to it. So once again what is the topic of this thread? And how many tests Pooran has played?

What i have learnt in my years on PP that most of our pakistani friends are not a good judge of batting talent, esp Indian one.

Thread started with Pooran vs Pant, you brought and tried to ridicule Pants Test batting average.
When I have shown you that, now you are still playing the so called context card.
Here is a tip, if you are sure shot of your predictions, and when they go wrong as they do mostly, be ready to take some heat back.
I have full context of what you are trying.

Nicholas Pooran will not go far unfortunately. Once he establish himself and get some popularity he will use that tag to get selected in various T20 leagues.

I was right about you. You should read/listen before replying to posts here. I specifically mentioned that my first post was about ODI's because Pooran hadn't played any tests. Me and that reddy guy were having discussions about test in other threads which we continued here. Nowhere did I compar Pooran's non existent test stats with Pant's here. I hope you do not embarrass yourself again because you are now arguing just for the sake of it and looking pretty dumb now.

And my prediction was Pant will retire with an average of below 30. Has he retired or what? Let him retire with an average above 30 then you can call me wrong and do your bhangra. Till then calm down and breathe properly because both the thread and hoshiarpurexpress are derailed now.

Nah you just trying to shift goal posts and now again changing your tune from tests to odis and test back.
Tomorrow you will again derail on something else and do a Bhaagam Bhaag.
We all are right about you

West Indians only care about T20's these days so you are not wrong.

Nobody is shifting goal posts here except you. Since you can't compare ODI stats of Pant and Pooran at the moment, you are looking helpless. You have nothing left to talk about now. Even when I explained it to you multiple times you are still acting dumb here. hoshiarpurexpress is surely derailed now.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Why? What has changed since OP created this thread? Pooran averages 49 whereas Pant averages 26 in ODI's and is replaced by a part time wicketkeeper batsman. I am pretty sure you didn't even know about this before you came up this post.

Mate you have no face to show. Your dumbness is sprinkled throughout this forum and we will always be entertained with the gems you have left here.
Looking forward to find the next solid prediction you would have made and taking that to shredders.

See you just can't discuss ODI stats of Pooran and Pant and trying to derail this thread with your personal jibes. Just stay on topic and discuss their stats. Is that hard?

And my prediction is still alive as long as Pant is playing so not sure why are you getting so excited already lol? The day he retires with an average of above 30 in test cricket my prediction can be called wrong. Once again is that hard to understand? Can you stay on topic now?

Staying on topic Pant will average 45+ in tests and odis. That’s my prediction, which can be wrong as well

 

[Saurav]

Good comparison.Pooran is better talent but Pant will have better career

 

[Suleiman]

Agree with OP. Pooran is held back by WI system.

If Rizwan was Indian he would be Dhoni level talent rn or at least heading that way simply because of BCCI system.

 

[leatherface58]

How? Pant is 23 and has done things that no Indian keeper has done in the history of cricket. Pant is a proper prodigy who was also plundering runs in domestic cricket along with his IPL exploits all at a seriously young age.

Pooran is a destructive player and has a lot of promise but look at his first class record. How is he a better "talent"?

 

[Smbhayi]

Genius.

But you said second innings scores are meaningless if it doesn't change the outcome, na?
