maniac Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I watch out for it every game. I would have named the thread “ there is an India match tomorrow”. Same thing sergio04 1 Link to comment
zen Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 The key for Ind is probably to get Rohit Sharma out early. If he is not firing, better to get him back in the hut before he wastes tons of balls in trying to get to a rare 75+ score .... If I were Dhawan, I would take singles to give more strike to Rohit vs. the new ball sergio04 1 Link to comment

His secondary job is to be the xfactor. To take the score from 200-6 to 400-6 in a session or a rareguard action. His primary job is to analyze patterns and give advice that alters history and wins us series case in point the slow ball Yorker heard all over the world- Bumrah to Marsh that won us the series.

Some great players have not had a great tournament in their first attempt, some mediocre players have legendary World Cup In their only appearance and fizzled away like that New Zealand bowler o’connor Or something. Must be a bigger ATG than Steyn right? Anyway what matters is Rohit has stepped up in some of our most important games in our history. WC quarterfinals, CT semifinals, the SA game in WT 20 2007 where we were about to get knocked out, the finals vs Pak that changed the course of cricket forever. So I am not too concerned about the odd failure in some obscure round robin game or 2. if you have an agenda it is fine but if you follow the little details of cricket, Rohit is your brahmastra, the shakti astra that Karna had, should keep it for Arjun but might waste it on Ghatotkatch like it happened against Bangladesh last time.

I don’t get this obsession with white countries. We were on the verge of a humiliating knock out against Bangladesh and it was a one man effort when everyone failed. His solidity and sacrificing numbers let other batsman play with freedom because they know a Set Rohit is “make your opposition wet”Rohit. Rohit has the unenviable role of being the glue that holds the team together. Also remember he is constantly thinking and getting a measure to help the bowlers out He is an anomaly that cannot be measured in numbers. understanding numbers is not enough, you need to understand cricket. Modi won by a lakhs of votes in varnasi but Smriti Irani’s close victory over Rahul Gandhi was way more important.
