Rohit has flopped big time this series, but he is still in top 10 overall. NoH!t is guaranteed to flop outside India against a decent pace attack. Need a new opener to accompany Dhawan.

gakgupta Posted February 10, 2018 Author Posted February 10, 2018 I would agree he is a good ODI player and on his day he is destructive , where I don't agree is that he is a good test opener He is not made for test cricket....but he is one of the best one day openers....if he is more conscious and pay little more attention on his wicket, he can make more one day hundreds....Sent from my Lenovo A7020a48 using Tapatalk Tattieboy 1

Vilander Posted February 10, 2018 Posted February 10, 2018 Dhawan is good in odi wickets. He can not survive on test grade wickets that have some assistance for bowlers. He is an active scoring batsman who needs to be more circumspect and needs the game for it to survive in challenging wickets. ODI wickets are true wickets and players like Dhawan thrive in it. It's a bit like wrist Vs finger because wrist takes pitch out of equation they can play in flat wickets and pick wickets at the same time that wide one long hop is not an issue. In tests you need spinners with much more control as batsmen don't have to score they can just wait so spinners have to attack the stumps pressure releasing balls means you will never pick wickets. Even when you pick wickets runs could become an issue as well; Look at recent BD Vs SL test both spinners took wickets but BD gave one long hop per over.

And then he was dropped.

He is good but I have no idea why he is misfiring. Like I said these guys need to be benched for a game.
