Cricketics Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I wasn’t big fan of his selection anywhere and thought Vihari deserved the chance but I think he did well until that brainfart he had today. May be we can put both Rohit and Vihari in the same line up and get rid off one of Vijay or Rahul for the 2nd test? I think it won’t be a bad idea if Rahul/Vijay keep failing. Yes Rohit might shyt his pants facing brand new red ball but then he might put up a bigger opening stand than what the current openers are doing. Rohit actually for a change looked at ease today. He was looking pretty solid against both pace and spin. One can say it was flat deck and stuff but we were in trouble that time when he came. OpeningBatsman, velu and sarcastic 1 2 Link to comment
Sachinism Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Yeh he got to face an older ball and he played that ridiculous shot to get out Link to comment
Sandeep99 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 I never facepalmed harder in my life. That shot was so bad I can’t even describe how infuriating it was. Yes he looked good but moments like these define individuals and that shot has summarized his test career. Link to comment
Sandeep99 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 By the way there are 3 candidates ready for axing.. Rahul, Vijay, and Rahane. Bring in Shaw, Vihari, and Jadeja next match. They will do better than these 3 duds. Link to comment

The Dark Horse Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 He's not for test cricket. If we select him again and again, it will send the wrong signals to aspiring test cricketers. Not that the others did well though. Link to comment

Here is my whole take on this issue. I won’t pick him in my squad overall as there are better deserving players but since he is already part of the squad and you know the other guys are struggling for a while and he is kind of looking “better” than those other struggling players, so I might as well play him. Yes, one can’t trust him much like he threw away his wicket today and pissed all of us, but we have to be practical and realize that our other ttailunts aren’t doing much right now a d since its matter of country winning the game, I rather play Rohit than one of Vijay/Rahul as Rohit might end up outscoring them easily due to his style of play even though he might be unreliable and might not score much. You want to see who will help lessen the burden on Kohli the most and Pujara since they have lot of burden on them carrying the line up, and I believe Rohit will lessen that burden compared to few other guys who are starting to not just frustrate the team but all of Indian supporters who have backed them big time in last few years.

Rohit lessoning the burden how....by making 10 runs more then other which wnt happen every day...some days even he ll be outscored by others. Link to comment

Rohit lessoning the burden how....by making 10 runs more then other which wnt happen every day...some days even he ll be outscored by others. I think all the guys have been backed. Dropping someone for one game doesn’t mean younare not backing thrm, you are still part of the squd. Rotating is cery much needed to get player’s mindset right. No one is asking for anyone’s axe from the squad. But dropping for a game or two really helps the team and also a player as all of audden player can now focus on getting his mindset eight and come out of the struggling period. Pujara and Rahane have gone through same face. Pujara clicked today but he had many failures leading upto this and hence whole of ICf wanted his axe. I still like both Rahane and Pujara, bur sometimes its good to rotate and provide the guys a challenge so no one can rest on their past laurels. NOw Rahul or vijay might deliver in the 2nd innings or next test, but we shouldn’t be scared to drop any of them thinking “we are not backing youngsters” Dropping for a game is fine. Dropping from a series isn’t. Link to comment
Number Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 The innings today defines Rohit Sharma the batsman Unreal timer of the ball, great range of shots, absolute idiot when it comes to shot selection. Link to comment

Told my dad 20 minutes before the game that once he was in the 12, I was actually slightly glad to see him in the XI. On these Aussie roads, he can be very effective at #5/6. But as he proved, he can be relied on to be unreliable. Even the famous chase at Adelaide - that was also a gold-plated chance for Rohit to seize the opportunity, make it count, and contribute a meaningful innings for the team. He let us down, just like today. That's what he does. Selfish.Sachiin 1 Link to comment

Dropping from a series isn’t. Every case is diff I think Rahane n rahul needs to go back to domestic if next few test doesnt work out. They both are suffering from low confidence and technical issues so go back to drawing board will help Pujara lets see how this series goes ahead, he generally plays 1-2 good knocks overseas but thats about it ...... Watever shud be seen after this series , May be in KL case if it becomes more worse...,mayank can be called from NZ and he can be sent their or to domestic Each case needs to be handled diff, dropping for a game or two means player on bench has to be good as well here 3 are struggling and we have only vihari on bench and shaw who is injured. So problem zyaada hai solution kum and we still dnt how shaw n vihari wud fair here . I have no hopes from Rohit so it can be actually 4 Link to comment

I guess we need to be a bit more patient but I do feel Rohit is going to score in this series the way he batted. I am sure he is killing himself for playing that shot but I do at this time have more trust from Rohit to score a 50+ knock than some of the other line up. I don’t know where that confience is coming to me, but its coming. Link to comment
