Rohit Sharma Appreciation Squad

[rkt.india]

now that its confirmed he is an permanent fixture in the indian team ...can we expect an aggregate of 120 runs in 90 balls in the games versus WI' date=' Aus and Ban?... atleast?[/quote'] Can you remove an ARSOL?

[nevada]

I am still a fan but don't hold much hope that he will ever correct his flaws and become consistent. I wish he would look at Kohli and learn how to turn talent into meaningful results.

That six of Gul was nice.

Strike rate was still low

[Cricketics]

Every Indian player pretty much played a run a ball game. No one came out firing. And why would you? You just need about 130. So our openered did all right, and Rohit did fine. Why does he get the stick even after doing his job. Cut the criticism guys. He did more than just decent yesterday. It's twenty20, don't expect player to dish out 50 runs individually every 2nd game. If the batsman is scoring 20s and 30s regularly, he should be considered good or decent. It's not 50 over game.

Rohit looks good for this format...it fits in his idea of hitting out after every 10 balls ..for ODI he desperately needs to learn to rotate strike...

[Magneto]

Strike rate was still low

Why do you need a high strike rate when you are chasing 6.5 runs an over? Play the situation, not just the format.

for all his "talent", he doesnt deserve to even play tests or odis, just play t20s at 4. he sucks!

Let's celebrate beasty six and not point out that even after that his inning was slow

RR may come into it. India were knocked out on RR last edition Not saying played badly. Did what he needed to go. Provide a stable opening. It was an average innings.

[skindia]

He will make ton in 30 balls today

Worry about RR later. You always have a Bangladesh match to make up for it. In all probability, you will not even need it if you can beat one of Australia or West Indies. No point worrying about RR in the first 7 overs in the tournament.

His innings was fine given the condition of the match. Why do you want everyone to play like Afridi irrespective of the situation? Rohit contributed in the victory and that is the key point. An opening stand of 50 at a reasonable rate is more important than a quick 20 in 8 balls and a collapse.

No for a change I want him to give quicker start Best time to bat was new ball.. In all matches until now hehe splayed dots and did nothing even in Asia Cup so Let's fap less for a six which we all know he can hit His problem is despite taking many risks and hitting sixes and boundaries in air he plays slowly I would have been happier if he took singles and finished game at same strike rate but way he plays is for dot dot slog and out

[GautiMaan]

Imagine if we were in situation like NZ last night,rain coming out of nowhere and we have nohit taking the shine of the new ball:laugh:

What would you gain by a super-quick start? Were we chasing 180? It's irrelevant as to what YOU want, but in most cases teams would want the players to bat sensibly, take minimal risks and simply not to lose wickets. The only way Pakistan would have won this match was to take wickets, and if you deny the same to them, the match is won. That is exactly what happened. It's stupid to glorify or diss a SIX, that is not the point here. He could have finished the game, and there is room for improvement there; but calling the innings slow and saying that he did not do his job is outright childish.

U know what is stupid? Playing slowly and also taking risk If he was playing slowly without risk I would have whole heartedly agreed but he took risks and despite them was slow please understand what I am saying..

[Old guy]

Also cos of this he has failed more times then succeed.. No one can deny this

[IKnowU]

sabby you trying too hard to hate on rohit :cantstop: as much as I am fan of Rohit, when dhawan was batting like a tailender at the other end, you wanted him to imitate that as well? :haha:
