sarcastic Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Our resident expert @velu called it long back. Cloning this thread on Cricket Talk as it is relevant here. Look at how ICFers were talking in 2015 saying why compare with Rohit. And now probably most ICFers will say how can you compare with Rohit. Discuss about your opinion on the topic! velu 1 Link to comment
Shaukat Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 Lol An Ugly Leg Side hoiks arent Enough to make anyone Rohit Sharma . Rohit Sharma is Ace against Pace On the other hand This dude was struggling to even put away Starc for a single. The most he can aspire is to be a potent Slogger in Middle Overs against Spinners and Not suck against Pace . Link to comment

Iyer would be rolled a red carpet and made PM if he was a Pakistani. How many batsmen in Pak can you name without trying to troll who are better than Iyer right now. Laaloo and velu 2 Link to comment

Discuss about your opinion on the topic!I am not a fan of Rohit ....but it will be disgrace to Rohit , if you compare Iyer with Rohit....Rohit it probably most free flowing batsmen ever....on the flat tracks, no one is better than him...Iyer is more about power and Rohit is all about timingSent from my Nokia 6.1 using Tapatalk Link to comment

Lol Look at you coming at me like im someone stuck up blind "fan", Pakistani batsmen were never in discussion and nor did i claim they are any good. I only described Iyer for what he is with regards to his Comparison with rohit...Have some perspective before coming across as Jingoistic chest thumper. Chakdephatte 1 Link to comment

Yeah When Aussie were dead and buried already. He was made to look like tailender in 2nd Odi by Starc and Co when India was trying to up the ante . Link to comment

If you have mellowed down since and just want to participate in cricket discussion like a normal cricket fan, and your thoughts are based on the cricket you are watching ,your opinions are welcome. There are still a few Indian fans who are not sold on Iyer either, however I think he has done no harm to his reputation the last 2 games. Edited January 24, 2020 by Global.Baba Link to comment
The Realist Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 So does that mean he will waste half his career on the sidelines like Sharma did? Link to comment

You did the same what you are accusing me of " oH lOOk AAyer wiLl be mAde prime minister of PaKistan" Learn to leave things behind and then we will hopefully get to somewhere . Link to comment
sarcastic Posted November 25, 2021 Author Share Posted November 25, 2021 Bump. Scoring a century perhaps in his debut test innings. Shreyas Iyer is making his debut count. Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 You cannot predict who will click who will not. KL looked good in Tests only in patches for a long time. Even now he hasn't achieved the consistency. So was Rohit. We have to stop typecasting players. For the record even Dube played a couple of decent knocks in India A tour. Link to comment

It's hard for openers to be consistent these days, the only ones who've been over the last 5 years (Warner, Latham?) have played a lot of tests at home! I'd take any opener who can score a hundred or two in away series over let's day consistency. Of course both would be ideal but we don't have that luxury. Link to comment

I still believe in saini coming back strong. Thakur can be the bowling all rounder for sena Washy is going to explode Dube has potential in tests. He can be very useful. Shankar was another one we missed out on for tests. Wrong format picks as usual by India. Panchal is solid Eeshwaran looks good for the future. I am not sure about iyer. Iyer may do well in asia. Unless he magically fixes his issue vs short ball, he will struggle vs sena. Link to comment
mishra Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I think he has cool head. For me, he will be nxt VVS Laxman unless offcourse our Kohli decides he isn’t good enough Link to comment
