See?

Where?

Toughest place to bat in test matches is opening

Easiest place to bat in ODI's is opening

 

You can't compare the two. That is why guys like Sehwag and Dravid are rated high in my book for test matches

Thread title should be

 

Open with Rohit Sharma and the rest will be history  

 

This is what happens when the message is conveyed by the wrong source

Jokes apart. Rohits ideal slot is no.6 where he can play those magical knocks with the tail where he can just hit those 6s and work shepherding  the tail/lower middle order or do a Gilchrist where he can take the set game totally out of the opponents reach. Opening in ODIs will give him the experience of the 2nd new ball as well.

 

We have tinkered his position for too long. No.5 is not his slot.

34 in SENA is not too bad for a guy with that style of play and an opener in those conditions.

 

Cook averages only 45 and is considered one of the best test openers in the modern era

^Also to add his last couple of overseas tours were absolute debacles after which he was done pretty much

That's not how "jokes apart" works

34 is not bad especially at his strike rate. Right away puts the bowlers on the back foot.

I was right all along about his hitting ability, wait and watch. It will work especially in Australia where pace and bounce are like his staple diet.

Rohit Sharma's career took a total U-turn in ODIs after he started opening. So it may worth a try in test cricket as well. He is a total failure in the middle order but a shot at opening may rejuvenate his test career. With Lokesh Rahul not in form, I would open with Shaw and Rohit for 1st 2 tests at-least and see how it goes.

 

How is it different from Dhawan opening

[Tendulkar1996]

I believe he should be given a chance - a final chance because he is in form of his life.Last chance for rahul first test.If he fails try sharma.Vijay is washed up ttf.

In the long term if rahul doesnt return to form,sharma fails ,we should go mayank.

Prithvi shaw has one end locked in.

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.
