Here comes the smiley peddling "sane" indianfan. Admirably combining his forum addiction with a gutless fear of strong opinion.
Boy someone surely has had a terrible day. Is the key board your only way to vent your frustration out? Hope all gets well at your end soon.

Paaji for keeping him on the bench for 2 yrs
Whether you like it or not, those 2 years (plus Dravid's last year) went a long way in grooming the likes of Pujara, Kohli, Rhoit, etc and they acknowledge this openly. One of the reason why our talented batsmen don't lose their ways like our bowlers do. If they had retired right when these guys had debuted, they would have also lost their way in international cricket. Batting with Sachin/Dravid on the other end, being in the same dressing room and in net practises is an experience no coaching can teach you

His demeanor is excellent. The celebration after FIRST test century and after missing the previous one on 96 - the celebration was a smile and a quiet satisfaction. No chest thumping, no mouthing gaalis, no fist pumping, no jumping up and down like a frog. Brilliant! Very Dravid/Tendulkar like in celebration. He conducts himself brilliantly, not a gaalis type person. Ofcourse - in cricketing talent and achievements - he has oceans to go before being compared to those two legends.

I am sure he calls Dhobi MC,BC for keeping him on bench for Yuvraj, Raina who had avg of 35 and Rahane's FC avg was close to 70. No wonder he gives no credit to him. :two_thumbs_up:

Yuvraj & Raina are shorter format players just as Rahane and Rohit's games are built for the longer one. It's one thing our selectors have gotten wrong consistently, i.e. getting players into a format based on their performances in another. Since IPL came along things have actually worsened as it seems performing in IPL is the quickest way into the Indian team :sad:

His shots are more like Rahul Dravid. Boy he looks composed and fairly grounded like his idol. Wish him all the luck to go from strength to strength.
Not really. His shots are more close to that of Sachin than Dravid. More balanced as Dravid had a much bigger stride forward while playing swing. His straight drives are all close to that of Tendulkar, not as good enough as his, but close. Best part was his quiet celebration after scoring the ton and that commanding hook shot for six. Went in IPL mode after the ton with a brain dead Zaheer on the other end, you have no choice.

Not completely true. You are taking all the credit away from them here.

It's similar to someone crediting Zak for a future Indian bowler's success coz Zak "mentored" and "speaheaded" the bowling attack in SA & NZ :giggle:

He has failed in SA and NZ, England should be the final stop. Keep him for t20s he is a great player there. We have better players than rohit like DK for tests, and manoj tiwary/jadhav/rayudu for odis. This moron and dhoni have stopped others being tried. I dont see talent in rohit, i see non-performance Can't blame selectors for giving rahane games, thats where he debuted in england right? And did fairly well there. But yeah he should stick to tests and even t20s.
