What makes you think they will bowl just short pitch bowling. Besides he is a blind player against short balls.. Could go anywhere. All you have to do is pitch it full and straight.
Makes sense. :sad: But we don't have a better alternative? Dhawan is more clueless against pace.

Nope,Usually Puts them away. ALso The ball wont keep low so he can play the straight ball with a lot more confidence,You can see by the crouching stance at the end of the dismissals most of them went shin high and ROhit is not comfortable against such dead balls I agree that's his chink in armor,Give him bouncy stuff and watch them disappear all day :--D

A gap between bat and pad does not indicate a dead ball

Even Raina puts them away. They just fall in the hands of the fielders.

We keep on debating who should open Rahane or Rohit but I amused not a single word spoken against greatest hack Dhawan. Why can't both Rohit and Rahane open and Dhawan watch the world cup from his drawing room? As I said multiple times before, Dhawan is our biggest liability.

Why can't both Rohit and Rahane open and Dhawan watch the world cup from his drawing room? As I said multiple times before' date=' Dhawan is our biggest liability.[/quote'] Dhawan is a matchwinner, has actually scored overseas unlike mr overrated aka mr tailunted aka lazy elegance mr roSh*t sharma. What has rohit done aside from the world t20 in the last 8-9 months? Like dale steyn said, he's done nothing in his career considering his opportunities. Rohit opens: Maidens, dots, odd boundary, puts pressure on dhawan and GONE, dhawan tries to up RR and he gets out. Rahane opens: Singles, 2s, backs his partner to settle in. Notice how dhawan performed better and got his 2nd 100 stand with rahane. When was the last time rohit and dhawan got a partnership? Rohit fans just look at numbers and not the match. Biggest liability is bowling. We concede less and get wkts > less to chase > less pressure on batsmen. Dhawan is a matchwinner! Rohit is not. Thats my opinion.

Lol at Dhawan being a match winner. For a guy with that awful technique and crap feet movement, he was never suppose to be a match winner. He was just going through a good patch and was bound to fail. Rohit Sharma I trust more because he got better technique.

Perhaps but at least Dhawan will score 15 runs off 14 or so balls with some hacks and get out. Nohit will sit there for 60 balls and score 26 odd runs and then get out putting pressure on India's best One Day batsmen in Kohli' date=' Raina and Dhoni.[/quote'] Fair Enough, Both Are Not really good enough for those wickets

India vs Aus 3rd test, 1st day was rained out yet India still got a win/result because of dhawan's debut record-breaking innings. Champions trophy 2013 - no need for words there. Took attacks apart. Scored runs and kept the team winning from the WI tri series to AUS odi series. Wins are wins. He has struggled overseas too but has a good record in NZ and once he keeps improving and working on his technique, he'll be even better. If a guy like warner or finch can succeed, why not dhawan? Because he bats on sub-continent tracks? Who cares about rohit's technique? Has it ever won matches for india? Performance matters, temperament matters. Rohit has none of them. LOL at how you defend rohit over a guy that has won india games in his short tenure. He has issues but is working them out. I think uthappa or dhawan should bat with rahane. Both have century stands with rahane anyway. But for l/r combo might want dhawan. Rohit at 4 if you must.
