Talwar Raja Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Read from 4th post. My thread was merged. First one to say rahane is too slow for limited overs cricket. Said this three years ago...first one to say it...
GolGappe Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Total misfit and to top it off, rayudu is poor man's rahane
JaiRamesh2 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Rahane doesn't have the power to muscle boundaries in ODi, look at his pint size body. That's why Pujara is so much better option, he might not have big shots, but can muscle boundaries, a physically much stronger player than Rahane,

rkt.india Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Pujara can "muscle boundaries" - sure? Pujara has a better alround game. Both Rohit and Rahane has poor leg side game. In middle overs, you need better strike rotation than risky shots like these guys play.

In middle overs' date=' you need better strike rotation than risky shots like these guys play.[/quote'] I asked if Pujara can "muscle boundaries" - I didn't comment on Pujara's all round game which seems to be better than Rahane and Rayudu.
Number Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Pujara has a better alround game. Both Rohit and Rahane has poor leg side game. In middle overs' date=' you need better strike rotation than risky shots like these guys play.[/quote'] Yes, Rahane has the habit of playing the balls on middle-leg stumps towards off or straight rather than flicking them. Its a good thing for tests because there you should play with the full face but no so good for ODIs. needs to work on this.
express bowling Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Rahane can play nice strokes. That is not his problem. His poor performances in ODIs have been because of his unwillingness to take singles and twos with regularity. He needs to improve this aspect.

Its a good thing for tests because there you should play with the full face but no so good for ODIs. needs to work on this. Even the ball which hits the top of off is hit back to cover, bowler or mid-on rather than using hands to maneuver the ball for singles.
Soorma_Bhopali Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I am afraid this seems to be the end of his LOI career . He seems to be in the Dravid mould of 1997-1998 . Just not able to rotate the strike .
GolGappe Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Rahane will get 30-40 ODI's to prove he doesn't belong in the ODI's I am kind of disappointed by Sandeep Patil. Kaarthik has been around since 2004 and everybody knows he is a very limited player. It doesn't take rocket scientist to figure out that any middle order that contains both Rayudu and Rahane with Rohit at the top of the order is an absolute disaster.
JaiRamesh2 Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Pujara can "muscle boundaries" - sure? Not muscle in sense of ms dhoni or Corey Anderson, but packs a punch behind his shot.
Soorma_Bhopali Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Seems like India will have Rahane and Pujara as Test Specialists only ..if Pujara can't get a game even in the absence of Gauti/Yuvi/Raina/Dhoni, I am afraid when will he have a game in ODI's then.
King Tendulkar Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 I would stick with Rahane I have a feeling needs time to learn and improve in odis, but will come good. Can play pace bowling and with world cup in oz... Plus his fielding is simply amazing on par with Sir. Would keep him in side based on his electric fielding, has a radar on hitting stumps

Pagalpanti Posted March 2, 2014 Posted March 2, 2014 Can play short-stuff, can play spinners with ease. He's here to stay, everything else will come with experience...
