'Rohit brings flair at No. 3' - Bangar, (To be Moved To Jokes Section-G_B)

[div]

"I think what Rohit definitely brings at No. 3 is the flair factor," Bangar said. "With the kind of cricket that this team is looking to play wherein we are wanting to at least go past 300 on each batting day, that's where somebody of his calibre can chip in and contribute in that manner." Rohit collected scores of 8 and 7 at the Premadasa, and was dismissed in both innings by deliveries that seamed back at him. Bangar, however, was confident these setbacks would be quickly overcome. "Somebody like a Rohit is an experienced campaigner. He has been on the international scene for a long period and he is hitting a lot of balls in the nets. Whatever absence of time that he has not been able to spend out in the middle, we are spending time in the nets. He is batting really well. It's just a matter of time that he gets a decent start and looks to convert that into a big one."

Rohit Sharma must have incriminating pictures of Kohli, Dhoni, Shastri and now Bangar

Is bangar the same guy who played that innings with Dravid in the Leeds test?

[kosingh]

Past 300 on each batting day? That's a run rate than be achieved even without Rohit. Nothing exceptional in this day and age.

Yes,now India's assistant coach.

[diga]

Yes' date='now India's assistant coach.[/quote'] you did not get the sarcasm..watch the 1st day of Leeds match , you will understand

[HippoSucks]

Over 300 runs each batting day is a run rate around 3.5 which can be achieved rather easily.

[div]

you did not get the sarcasm..watch the 1st day of Leeds match ' date=' you will understand[/quote'] I did get.But this is Kohli's team not Bangar's team,it look like he prefers attacking batsmen.

[gattaca]

you did not get the sarcasm..watch the 1st day of Leeds match ' date=' you will understand[/quote'] bangar is a good batsman and bowler. he played some fast knocks too. I remember vs windies he won an odi for us in the end.

[maniac]

Totally agree.......He can be what viv Richards was to the no 3 position....I mean can you imagine a well set Rohit on Day 1 of a test match with plenty of time to go....records will tumble. Now Sanjay Bangar joins the list of experts who are Rohit fans and I am sure poor old Bangar will be ridiculed on ICF now.....Most ICFR's think they are above qualified coaches and accomplished cricketers :hysterical:

[sensible-indian]

Useless Bugger must be kept far away from the test team. Good length, in seam and Rohit is done. My friend said "one outswing and one inswing and he should be done". I said "Don't insult Rohit. Only inswing is enough. No need to do extra work."

[sensible-indian]

Considering someone hopeless like Hafeez has made tons and tons of test runs in SC, Rohit does have a good chance to score big. But in decent conditions, he will be taken out.

[Gollum]

End is near for Rahane,Vijay and ChePu. Kohli and the management scumbags have started politics even before the 1st major assignment.

[Pagalpanti]

So KL Rahul and Pujara, both who did well in the warm up will be warming benches despite being technically solid because Rohit and Dhawan score quicker... sigh

[adi B]

Nohit shouldn't be in the test team.period.

I remember hafeez scoring in tests only in uae (and those are highways) ,outside that he has struggled even in SC lol.similarly nohit will do well only in india (that too against average-decent attacks)

Rohit averages 40.00 in tests despite playing most of his career overseas infact 90% of it. Infact has played most of that as a no.6 which usually is a tricky spot where even some greats finished with a significantly lesser average. If 40 average is considered a failure than wow I wonder what is the benchmark here lol

[vvvslaxman]

One success every 10 innings is more harmful to side than non stop failure. Atleast we can get rid of him. We just have to keep our fingers crossed through their entire career. You never know what to expect from them.

Average is 39.23.. so if you are going to round off. it should be 39 :cantstop: Secondly his home average is 288 Away average is 23.75. Never seen more awful contrast between home and away series

23.75 really. Ashwin and Kumble better bats than Rohit.
