Kohli is an absolute GOD! Equals Ricky Ponting with the second most ODI hundreds, and he did in 190 odd matches. India for 2019 WC?

Haha thats true but I feel like Kohli is best as a player, like he is still really good but i think as a captain, I think Dhoni is the best:)

Completely agree. You can't out-captain MS. In my eyes, truly the best captain India has ever seen. Remember 2011, WC final, when he carried the hopes and dreams of over a billion people? Additionally, off the field he's so humble and chilled, you just can't hate him.

Just had a thought. Which way do you all wear (or have worn) your pads? Straps on the outside or inside? I usually have it on the outside, so that the straps don't undo each other, but on the inside just seems more logical. Don't want to be given out because the ball flicked the strap haha.

not 100% what you are asking ahah but from what I think you are saying I go straps on the inside that is if the straps are poking out

When I say straps on the outside, I mean the buckle goes on the inside and the end of the strap is on the outside of the leg. I can't explain for shit haha.

In this image, Cook's strap is on the inside of his leg.

100% outside.

100% outside.

Any reasons for that?

[Willba99]

Any reasons for that?

so they don't get caught on each other

Fair enough. Have you ever been given out where the ball hits your straps, but the umpire has given it out?

Same reason as Willba. Never had an issue with the above; you can sort of fold them in on themselves to avoid any issues.

I miss batting.

Yeah definitely. I reckon the fans want you to come out of retirement.
