flamy Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Classy knock. He doesn't get as much press as Kohli or Pujara or even Nohit (:wall:). He is an excellent #5 for us. I'm super glad they didn't bungle this up and pick Nohit in his place. Although, at the beginning of the series, at some preview, there was one English dude who piped up his name. I was impressed with that English presenter, the dude he was talking with was just babbling about Kohli and Pujara. At least Atherton mentioned him in the post-match presentation (off a list).
rkt.india Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Rahane has shown his class since the SA tour. He has formed the Trimurti with Kohli and Pujara.
GautiMaan Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Rahane has shown his class since the SA tour. He has formed the Trimurti with Kohli and Pujara. What about Vijay:dance:
flamy Posted July 22, 2014 Author Posted July 22, 2014 Vijay is really working hard and I'm impressed, but there is a certain gulf between him and the three. He is like Gambhir - gritty.
rkt.india Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 What about Vijay:dance: He was good but was not scoring runs then. He scored runs here. Need to continue it.
BlueBee Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 His century at Lord's was a joy to watch. Well done man.
kubrickian Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Vijay is really working hard and I'm impressed' date=' but there is a certain gulf between him and the three. He is like Gambhir - gritty.[/quote'] Vijay's job is even tougher because he faces the new ball in these conditions. He is worth his weight in gold. He has solid technique and the temperament to defend and leave the ball outside off stump. Good openers are the most important part of a batting lineup. They can grind out the opposition and the new ball and see out the tough periods which will make the other batsmen's life easier.
kubrickian Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Rahane has been superb since SA tour. Great find for the team.
Stuge Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 He scored century in one of the 3 day match in England last time ,but he was not selected because of Sehwag (That time I was pissed off for not selecting a player ,who looked better tha others ).Glad to see him selected in the Indian team .
King Tendulkar Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 It was one of the all time great tons for India. Top 10 innings for india Green top tailor made for home side, mini collapse. Goes out there and gets ton. Magnificent. Supreme skill and composure. The straight checked hit of Anderson was the cherry on the cake

Debutant Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Yeah classy knock. Was a treat to watch. In a greentop, this knock is one of the best I have seen :hatsoff:
G_B_ Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I was a bit disappointed with Rahane after he got his century. Got out in a really soft manner. Hope he learns and carries on to get a big one.
Crookbond Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I was a bit disappointed with Rahane after he got his century. Got out in a really soft manner. Hope he learns and carries on to get a big one. He was looking to accelerate and it was a freak return catch.
beetle Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Tickets are availbale I believe:cantstop: You better be there...:roti: I will pay for your ticket in icf $:icflove:
CG Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 yes rahana is the diff if u look at what happened last tour when dravid gave those starts nobody form lower order contributed where the ball got old and scoring was easier.
Yoda-esque Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Saw his century again..one of those rare gems you always hope our cricketers play overseas . He is flying under the radar and that's good for him.
jusarrived Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I was a bit disappointed with Rahane after he got his century. Got out in a really soft manner. Hope he learns and carries on to get a big one. How was it a soft dismissal ? it was a freak catch . it was a a straight drive which would have gone for 4 most times
jusarrived Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Should have been MoM He was my pick of the tour .
