Nasser Hussain: "Rohit would get into an all-time white-ball XI"

[putrevus]

Akhtar or Waqar,s pace would never bother Rohit on flat pitch. Swing and seam are his issues.

This shot is much easier or pacy pitches than slower pitch because pacy pitches provide pace and you dont need to do much and that is why Sehwag's upper cut on Waqar was far tougher than Sachin's on Shoaib as Waqar was bowling 130s and Shoaib in mid to high 140s.  So Sehwag had to generate pace by himself, Sachin did not.  This shot is much easier on fast pitches, fast deliveries than slower pitches and against slower bowlers. 

Sorry, simply don't agree. Watch sachin, he arched back closely watching a ball bowled at pretty good pace and was about to leave it when he realized if he just kissed the ball with his bat it would be six. It requires balance, watching the ball until the last moment and having the time to change his intention. A much tougher feat than slapping an uppercut.

 

That's my opinion and I am sticking to it!

But they got one of the flattest pitch to bowl in 2003 which negated their bowling quality.

That's nonsense. The difference in quality of the bowlers more than negates the difference in pitch. The recent pitch was not a seamers/swingers paradise.
