Waiting for those amazing statsguru filters to show how useless this 100 was. If not now, I am sure it will feature some day in those lists that you make showing it as the slowest ever 100

All the 100 threads created in his name will go down the drain lol

A simple topic on "will Rohit perform in this WC" has some made some folks tense

Lol tense. Real Rohit fans walked in like a champ and left like a baws after the first game

To me, cricketers are like tools used to perform certain jobs. This topic is about will Rohit, who occupies one of the key slots, perform esp. giving his poor history in such events. Now if Rohit has few fans and if they feel good after his 100 vs. an unlucky SA, it is good for them!

Dropping  a catch is not called bad luck it is called inefficiency and lack of skills and if you don’t bring your A game, champions hurt you.

Forget turning the page, he is going to write his own book :)

 

His book will have lot of dreary small chapters full of spelling and punctuation errors, along with a few thrilling big chapters

Not only catches but SA is negatively impacted through injuries as well. Also “umpire’s call” went against SA, which is definitely luck as it depends upon interpretation of a 3rd person

 

But anyways, Rohit did well to use the opportunities. Now if some of his fans want to walk like champs after the game, they can enjoy themselves. Ind cricket fans have seen many batsman score over the years so expect key batsmen to perform

 

There is a prediction thread here so look forward to seeing your inputs!

I don’t care about the odd coffee cup or water bottle gaffes, I would rate GOT one of the finest pieces of television ever :) it’s the final product that matters. Stop nitpicking

Of course a guy who makes 264 with a lots of 6s and running over the course of 50 overs in 40 degree heat knows a thing or 2 about fitness

Simple let’s say Federer vs Nadal are playing a match, Nadal  reaches a few volleys and trips. Federer has an open court to dispatch the ball anywhere he wants but hits it out a few times.

 

Now end result is Nadal 6-0,6-0,5-1 in Nadal’s favor with Federer injured and conceding the game to Nadal without completing , would that be  bad luck for Federer or Nadal outplaying him like a champ.

 

There is no luck in sports only wins and loses

More like 4 episodes of GOT interspersed with 4 seasons of Hostages.

What Pakistan did to Tendulkar at Mohali was luck. dropping 3 straight forward chances. In this cases probably one of the fastest fielder in the world Faf could barely touch the ball. Citing ball falling in no man's land, umpire's call is clutching at straws lol

Don't discuss GOT guys lol I haven't watched season 8 yet.

Already discussed injuries and umpire’s call. Talking about luck in general, cricket is unique as it depends on factors such as toss as well. Now if Ind had batted first, Rohit, who per the stats posted here scores 21 or less 50% of the time despite batting on good batting surfaces, would have had a relatively difficult time at the crease esp. seeing him struggle so much early on in that inning.

Coulda would shoulda. 

 

What if Rabada was banned and only SA parttimers were bowling and Rohit scored a 300.

 

Its all assumptions.

 

This is what factually happened. Rohit scored a magnificent 100 in a pressure back to the wall situation and won his team the game and won the man of the match. Fielded well and based on reputation probably had input in reducing opposition to a sub par score as well .Scored more than 50% of the runs. These are the facts.Rest all are nit pickings. Not important.

The point is ppl see it as a lucky inning. But no one is stopping you from perceiving it as the best Rohit has played. Irrespective of the quality, we can agree that it helped India so all is good!

Kohli was dropped multiple times throughout England and SA series. While whole world is going crazy on how he is an ATG, let’s say he is the luckiest player of all time by the same logic.

We do not have better options than Kohli atm. While Rohit is past his best. So obviously “luck” is discussed relatively more for such players. If Dhoni, who is past his best too, had scored such a 100, many would be pointing that out too!
