He will talk about all his sixes and double centuries in ODIs or the one good home series he had against WI way back when Sachin retired.

Can you read this again and tell me how surreal

this sounds. “All those double centuries” 

 

I am not a big fan of Rohit the test player but when you have a player or his stature, you need to make the best of his abilities.

See how ‘it’ goes? Meaning the stumps flying?

Rohit and rahul opening together will be exciting....whose leaves the ball better from middle stump.

[Forever Indian]

Might as well open with Ishant Sharma and see how it goes.

Already doing that with the ball and we have become a world class fast bowling unit

As per my sources, Rohit will open in 1st test with Shaw out.

Looks like Rohit doesn't have much Indian fans when it comes to Test cricket (read comments)

Ian chappell has been wanting him to bat at 3 from Last aussie tour as well

Naseer hussain said i cnt believe rohit sharma is not in test side

 

ya to ye to log cricket nhin dekhte ya hume kuch sahi nhin dikhta 

[CricketInsider]

Walking wicket for other teams no wonder most of Rohit Sharma support comes from former or current players of OTHER teams

[Clarke]

Yes! Smash those trundlers: Starc, Cummins, Hazlewood & whoever for sixes into oblivion! Lyon is a spinner anyways, will go crying to his mommy in the first over. Oh wait

Rohit in Tests and in ODIs is very different. Look at Bevan for example.

but Sehwag was SC bully and averages 34 in SENA

yeah his SENA stats are misleading, since he wasn't exactly a dude who bashed at home and then crapped overseas the very next series. Only in South Africa, can you say Sehwag was a genuine failure, but then again, he was a middle order bat, put into opening against one of the best fast bowling attacks of all-time in their own backyard.

If you look closely, his failures in ENG, AUS, etc. were part and parcel of his cycle of good form and bad form - IMO he was unlucky that his SENA tours came mostly in his bad form cycle period.

Anyone who says ' XYZ is awesome at opening in ODIs, lets try opening with him in Tests' has just given direct evidence of knowing jack $hit about cricket. There is a reason why Sehwag is the ONLY successful middle order batsman opening in test cricket.

In ODIs, weakness outside off-stump can be glossed over due to lack of slips. In tests, weakness outside off stump for an opener = Darren Ganga-esque average. Period.

langer was another top-order batsman (but non-opener) who became a fine opener. there are quite a few openers who avg in the 40s (in tests), who started out in the top/middle order - jayasuria, gayle (in first few tests). but it's very rare to find such players. mostly, middle-order batsmen who moved into test opening have generally tended to be quite aggressive.
