Can someone tell me how this can be acceptable?

Can someone tell me how this can be acceptable to bat this way when a huge first inn total is against us?

quoted from Cricinfo 66.2 Moen Ali to Rohit Sharma, how abominably awful! He is bent over his bat at the crease, depicting poignant disappointment but this was a seriously poor shot. Came down and lifted a tame delivery right down mid-off's throat when England were trying to give their main bowlers a breather. And tea was barely five minutes away 210/5

Unfortunately even the otherwise calm Rahane has also messed it up, along with RS.

irresponsible, not a match winner but quite the opposite. this whole dhoni-jadeja-rohit imbalance has messed up the team

[BlueBee]

He's Lazyhit. So it's acceptable. Period.

mental midget .. never shown any improvements

[Roshanrocks]

Very difficult n tricky question.

Its karma. Dhoni reaping rewards for omitting Sehwag.

[SLICKR392]

All about playing 5 batsman. It's a green wicket, Finey, you gotta play 5 bats and Rohit is a crucial player for such 'green' wickets. Green.

[Lord]

But hes tailunted

[ThePhenomenal1]

They call him the SH*TMAN for india

Rahane did not mess it up. It was short ball and he was playing a normal pull shot. He was just unlucky that it caught the bottom edge. Rohit's shot was pure stupidity just before tea.

[Temujin Khaghan]

nill temperament. he is the main villain of his career. :haha:

lazy bum

Dhoni won't drop him. He wants to prove to everyone that Picking Nohit is a correct decision. Happened with Vinay Kumar , unadkat and ishant Sharma. Same thing will happen here.

[ThePhenomenal1]

get him out. its guys like bhogle, ganguly, manjrekar, gavaskar that hype his talent instead of telling the truth about his performances

Same thing will happen here.[/quote'] ishant only just found some success this year, still to prove. only jadeja has worked out and that in all forms but he's not test material. dhoni hasnt got the right vision and thats just the truth.

Very difficult n tricky question.

I second that

[JaiRamesh2]

Hopefully Rahane has filled the Mumbai quota so now they can kick out this 7 year old experienced international cricketer who has "potential".

[Brainfade]

[Lord]

maniac will tell you :nice:
