Grooming Rahane

[SLICKR392]

This is the thing which everyone says and is the difference between pujara/rohit and kohili/rahane. pujara/rohit scores big' date=' and kohili/rahane gets out by 120, in test, not in one day.[/quote'] Weird people here.

Fantastic knock by Rahane. Impressive to see him not let the ODI failures affect his test batting. Runs in SA and now in NZ on a tough wicket, well done As many have said may not be a bad idea to have him at 5 and Rohit at 6

No Rohit pls, drop Rohit pick Rayudu

Its good to see Rahane has got a 100, thats one monkey of his back. With Rahane in ODIs IMO its not a confidence thing. He still does not know how to pace his innings. and batting at 6, i doubt many 200s he can score. Mostly he will have to bat with the tail.

[Sidhoni]

Rahane is a nervous starter when he is new at the crease. I think opposition bowlers have an excellent chance to get him out before he scores 20. Once he crosses that mark, after that he is a real pleasing player to watch. Nohit scores big? Big what? Big Andaas? (ducks) Andaa player.

:hysterical:

Weird people here.

check it out then. Not talking about kohli's ODI performance, he is great ODI player now. In test, kohili will always struggle, especially, on that shot pitch deliveries. rahane will have same trouble.

[peterparker]

I think we all have concluded he is a tailender :giggle: but in all seriousness,Rahane himself is looking to survive,dont see him protecting the tail and playing a quick innings,Even Ashwin is better than him in that aspect Rohit showed the ability in the WI series,just saying But as I said too early to judge him,He is still raw so lets hope for the best

rohit sharma played in the first test, when 4 wickets were down, for 20 something. What did others do on that day? In test, all innings are always under pressure. rahane scored a brilliant century today, no doubt in this. but he has technical glitches, and I wonder, england bowlers might sort him out.

[peterparker]

Give him 100 odi like Rohit...U can see better Record Than Rohit Sharma and more consistency..

his ODI scores are down, check the facts. rohit has scored an ODI 200

[peterparker]

Yeah' date=' Tendulkar was batting at the other end to allow Rahane to go for a double.[/quote'] ha ha ha one innings and everyone is saying that rahane is great, rohit is lame duck. what happened in first test, first innings, all the so called great fell down, including kohili, whose weakness against shot pitch got exposed. in the partnership of 50 b/w rohit and rahane, rohit had scored 38 of those, and rahane had 12, this shows that who has got more shots in the books.

I'd definitely play him ahead of Rohit.

[Cricketics]

We have groomed the right man. He is here to stay. Just like Kohli, he has impressed us everywhere so far including the South Africa tour.

[vvvslaxman]

He is a fighter' date='I will give him that but not the ideal replacement for Laxman[/quote'] :giggle:

[zep1706]

:giggle:

IMO Rahane is technically better than Laxman. Laxman always had problem against the moving ball. He played bounce pretty well though.

[Laaloo]

We have groomed the right man. He is here to stay. Just like Kohli' date=' he has impressed us everywhere so far including the South Africa tour.[/quote'] Kohli hasnt impressed me for this tour. And his fielding is awful. Missed run outs, dropped catches. It will take a lot more to remove me from AVKC.

[ThePhenomenal1]

gorgeous 100. pure class, stepped up on a green wicket. Hats off Rahane! And dont forget kumar!

[ThePhenomenal1]

has scored runs everywhere he has played. one to stay. thats the difference between him and rohit. rahane even scores in odis lol glad rahane got runs at 5 cause 6 was where he scored everywhere else

[Old guy]

IMO Rahane is technically better than Laxman. Laxman always had problem against the moving ball. He played bounce pretty well though.

i agree :agree: but he is being compared to laxman because of how great and valuable his innings are

[Cricketics]

You guys just live in the Rohit Sharma cottage apartment who are hard to please. So I couldn't care less about some of you kind of folks. Kohli has numbers to show that he is better player than most in the world against some of the best bowlers. He scored against Steyn and co. Who are better an Anderson and co.

No.. idea of maniac was to make a case for Rohti sharma saying he is our future Laxman :hysterical: Actually Ashwin is a lot closer to Ashwin than Rohit sharma
