World Cup: Kohli has no battingpeers, says Barry Richards

PerthLegendary South Africanbatsman Barry Richardsfeels Virat Kohli is a fewnotches above hiscontemporaries in the Indianteam but still has some wayto go before one cancompare him with the iconicSachin Tendulkar. "ViratKohli undoubtedly is the bestbatsman in this current Indianteam by a distance. He isreally talented and issomeone, whom you will liketo pay to watch his batting.Along with AB de Villiers, heis amongst the top batsmenin world cricket today,"Richards, one of the mostrespected voices in worldcricket, Sir Donald Bradman

was believed to haveconsidered Richards as oneof the finest right-handers atpar with Jack Hobbs and LenHutton. When asked howdid he rate Ajinkya Rahaneand Shikhar Dhawancompared to Kohli, Richardsanswer resembled the samenon-challance. He is in aleague of his own. You like theway he builds an innings. Thehallmark of a good batsmanis to control the pace of hisinnings and Kohli does it withease. He will definitely getbetter," said 69-year-oldRichards, who scored morethan 500 runs in four Testmatches against Australia inthe only Test series he playedbefore South Africa went into

isolation for 21 years.However, the batting artist ofyesteryears feels that Kohlistill needs a bit more finessein his execution before he canbe compared with Tendulkar."Tendulkar's range of strokeswas extra-ordinary, whichKohli still has some way togo," Richards commentedbefore doing a bit of shadowto explain the difference."When Tendulkar batted,you could sense that hisperipheral vision works. Hecould play in that entire arcbetween gully and square-leg, such was his range. Ifneeded, he could meet theball early with a frontfootstride even on fastest ofpitches.

MelbourneEngland belatedly got their2015 Cricket World Cupchallenge up and runningwith a workmanlike victoryover Scotland inChristchurch on Monday.Given the manner of thedefeats against Australia andNew Zealand it was perhapsunderstandable that EoinMorgan's side took arelatively cautious approachagainst the auld enemy. Ifthey are to spring a surpriserun in the competition, they'llneed to loosen the shackleswhen they come up againstopposition more challengingthan Scotland, however.Despite the 119-run marginof victory, Michael Vaughanwasn't particularly impressedwith how England wentabout their business.Speaking on BBC Radio 5live's Tuffers and Vaughan

No, they're not.They are set in stone the waythey are going to play." ShaneWarne (via The Telegraph)famously said that MontyPanesar “hasn't played 33Tests, he's played one Test33 times." The left-armspinner may not be part ofthe current setup, but thesame criticisms could belevelled at England's one-dayside. As Vaughan said (viaBBC Sport), “One-daycricket has moved on. It'salmost like they areswimming with armbands on.Everyone else is taking on adifferent leap, with morepower, more aggression and

more freedom.”"After the[Scotland] game [captain]Eoin Morgan said they areflexible. No, they're not.They are set in stone the waythey are going to play."

but later on we wouldsupport India. It is ourcountry," said the wicket-keeper batsman's elderbrother Rohan ahead ofSaturday's game. When achance arose to move on toDubai in 2006 on thestrength of his cricketingprowess for a constructioncompany as a player-employee, the 29-year-old

World Cup 2015: Dhoni, Kohlibond ahead of match against UAE

PerthAhead of the not-so-important match, for India,against the UAE at the ICCCricket World Cup 2015the mood in the camp, notquite surprisingly after thedemolition of South Africa,is quite upbeat. There was alot of speculation about M SDhoni and Virat Kohlirelationship but if you walkedin at the Hotel Hyatt todayafternoon, you could say that

all those were just rumours.As one entered the hotelporch, one could see theIndian captain and his deputyengrossed in a chat like longlost friends.Even from a handshakingdistance, it was difficult tohear what they werespeaking. While Virat Kohliwas in his shorts and whitevests, the skipper lookedcool as ever in his Red teesand army green baggy pants.

The Indian captain didacknowledge the presenceof few scribes with a smile,even as Virat Kohli had alook at his i-Pad. OnceMohammed Shami joinedthem, the three left the hoteland it was lunch time, so nomarks for guessing wherethey headed to, as the hotelmenu was dominated mostlyby oriental and Aussiecuisines which probably didnot suit the Indian taste buds.

Gayle becomes first WorldCup double-centurion

CANBERRAChris Gayle rediscoveredhis mojo in spectacularfashion with the highestindividual innings in a WorldCup match on Tuesday, his215 helping West Indies to372 for two in their Pool Bclash against Zimbabwe.The masterblaster openerslogged 16 sixes —equalling the ODI record —as well as 10 fours in the147-ball innings, whichformed the large part of anODI record 372-runpartnership with MarlonSamuels (133). The 35-year-old was dismissedwith the last ball of the inningstrying for a 17th six but onlysucceeding in holing out inthe deep. Gayle'sdetermination to end hispoor run of recent formmeant the first hundred runin his innings was by nomeans the most fluent of his

22 one-day internationalcenturies. Once he reachedthe milestone with the firstball of the battingpowerplay, however, hepunished the Zimbabweanbowlers as only he can,smashing the ball around theground almost at will. Hehad brought up his 50 andcentury with singles but itwas a four off TendaiChatara that he reached thehistoric double century in the46th over, Gayle becomingthe first non-Indian to

achieve the feat. Samuels,meanwhile, was cautionpersonified for most of his156-ball innings until finallycutting loose as theZimbabwean bowlers wiltedin the face of the floggingthey were receiving fromGayle. The pair put on 152runs in the last 10 overs totake the match almostcertainly out of reach of theirAfrican opponents. Despitethe impressive 150-runvictory over Pakistan at theweekend that rebooted theWest Indies campaign aftertheir embarrassing defeat toIreland, the failure of the toporder to fire had been of aconcern in the Caribbean. Itlooked like remaining soafter a first over in whichDwayne Smith departed fora duck on the second balland Gayle could easily havefollowed him back to thedressing room.
