sarcastic Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 FOUR out of FOUR. Yes, I know it is against hapless West Indies but Rahane has really demonstrated tremendous consistency and today's innings is really the "need of the hour" innings. Dinesh Karthik should have never played today and I would have liked to see Risabh Pant in his place. But Rahane on the other hand has been commendable and won the spot in the side. FOUR consecutive fifties is not a joke. When the great batsman captain himself is getting out very cheaply every other innings, it has been Rahane all the way who is the one rescuing the team.

nevada Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Looks like guaranteed spot for the entirety of the series has boosted his confidence. It would be nice if same courtesy is extended to promising young players in the near future. express bowling 1 Link to comment

WC2011INDIA Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Another pathetically slow chutiya innings against a chutiya side. Will throw away as usual. That 2nd innings in this series was a fluke. Saala pretender. Shannie04 1 Link to comment
Vijy Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 WI is a weak team, and his last 2 knocks could/should have been faster towards end. He starts off quickly (19 off 19 in previous match, and 35 off 40) and then crawls along like a snail. Link to comment

So, it is on expected lines and makes him a limited ODI batter . Link to comment

WC2011INDIA Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 not after today's knock..no way. * is the reason India lost. Should have finished the match as he was set batsman. But nah...he is a loser of the highest order. Dhoni is another chutiya...this hahane+dhoni combo need to be flushed down the toilet. Sidhoni 1 Link to comment
WC2011INDIA Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Tomorrow, Hahane will flop. Last two innings have been extremely lousy. In both matches he is guilty of not accelerating and getting out at the wrong time. This became more obvious in the last game. Law of averages will catch up and he is going to score a big fat duck. End of his career after this game. Bet on it. Sidhoni 1 Link to comment

sarcastic Posted July 6, 2017 Author Share Posted July 6, 2017 336 runs at an average of 67.2 and strike rate of 77.06 with three 4 50+ scores (that includes a century) and a 39. Pretty consistent figures for Rahane and he probably will put pressure on KL Rahul for the opening spot. What are your thoughts.... SUMO and WC2011INDIA 2 Link to comment
