Rahane and Rohit are our slowest opening partners in last 20 years

Sachin and Sehwag 

 

Those were the days

Sehwag and sachin different era yet so fast.

 

Feel that sachin in his prime in todays era would easily have a strike rate of 120

[G_B_]

hmm interesting to note

 

Rahane Dhawan faster than Rohit Dhawan

 

just shows that Rohit is a slow starter.

Rohit has looked different this series so that's a good change.

It is not surprising at all, both are equally inept in rotating strike.

Use to really like gambhir n sehwag, the way they stole singles, how differently they attacked and once spinners come it was halwa for them

[Rasgulla]

Gambir and sehwag look at that.. 

 

Feeling bad for sehwag when he has to bat with sachin poor guy has to score majority of it while other guy tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk tuk

Rahane is pathetic in odi. Manju amd rest of shameless mumbai lobby are trying to big him up...pathetic regional mumbai lobby.

[Vilander]

Rohit is a gun btw.

It's not about rotating. If you think you can keep run rate high by rotating strike, you are wrong. That too during PP when you have 7 fielders inside the circle. Those guys used to hit a lot of boundaries and were great at findings gaps. Rahane struggle at it. Finds fielders. these guys barely try to hit first 3-4 overs. Sehwag would start hitting from ball one.

Not a big fan of Rahane - but century partnership conversion ratio when he has opened is among the best - it would be interesting to also compare based on win-loss ratio in the matches he has opened Vs other contemporary pairs.

Yes, they were a very adept partnership. Gambhir was also pretty good at 3 (WC final being an example). His overall ODI record even now is pretty good.
