This is quite often said about Rohit.......but when on song......this guy makes batting seem like a sweet dream........it often seems like he will be late on the shot but then all of a sudden he just whacks it.......happy that he is finally realizing his potential.......

I am annoyed about some of the rubbish being spouted about our future ATG recently Stuff like being mumbai IPL captain matured him. Has learnt to not throw it away, has stopped being incosistent, was inconsistent blah blah All hogwash! The facts are this guy was and always was made for the longer formats i.e tests. It was clear. All these not consisitent rubbish was not reflected in his outsatanding FC caareer which had loads of big scores in longer formats. It seems many do not understand difference between limited overs games and tests. Can you imagine if Laxman or Dravid started of in odis, same rubbish would have been levelled at them, with many not getting different formats and suitabiltiy for these. The problem was he was always playing in his least good formats, first T20s and the odis. The facts are thats his better perfomances in odis simply came about as started to open, which suits him more and not in middle order. In the middle order in odis, he was not throwing his wicket away, it was more a case of him not being able to rotate the strike and then having to play big shots to keep the tempo up, as in odis cant grind it for an hour, as then run rate falls and game lost. But cos shifted to opening, can block it out now(particularly as dhawan plays at such a pace it allows rohit to play at any pace he wants) and take advantages of power plays. I feel certain that if put in middle order again, would have same issues, start then having to play big shots and get out. Then be accused of throwing wicket away, inconsitent blah blah In tests there is no such issue as above, as can not score or rotate the strike for a while and still no pressure for run rate and rohit to have to play big shot which may get him out. He always was a natural for tests and should have played 2 or 3 years ago, particularly as he is imo best back foot player and best player of pace in the team. Dumb selectors screwed up and should have blooded him in test team yonks ago.

The last time you rambled on a huge post about Rohit, you screwed his career. :sad:

Yes if you believe in jinxes/superstitions/ghosts/tooth fairy/father christmas/easter bunny/horoscopes/painting your nails with other aunties then shut the thread. If on the other hand you are a man with a penis, then keep the thread open!!
