Rohit Sharma Appreciation Squad

[vamos_rafa]

Cricinfo Commentary after Yesterday's win - "Rohit leaps and releases his pent-up tension with an expletive that isn't good news for someone's sister.

In India, someone or the other's sister is always receiving that expletive :winky:

[Raghav_12]

Test cricket is form in which Rohit Sharma will have maximum success, eventually - irrespective of whatever he has achieved in IPL circus. He would play many more innings like the one he played in a FC match against Aussies during their 2008 tour. That innings had left senior Chappell wondering -why the hell this guy is not playing for india.

[SachDan]

In India' date=' someone or the other's sister is always receiving that expletive :winky:[/quote'] Not South Indian sisters though :P

[Ultimate_Game]

Not South Indian sisters though :P

That's true. Another thing which surprised me when I traveled South was that people actually stood in queues/line at the bus-stops while boarding the bus :omg:

[rahulrulezz]

Problem with Rohit is that he is a really slow starter n usually end up slowing down our run rate considerably in middle overs. 75% of his typical innings r 6(17),13(29),9(23), 3(16), 11(34) etc types. Yes he does make up for it if he scores 50+ but that doesn't happen often. He IMO is a momentum killer which is not the case with Kohli or Raina

[King Tendulkar]

And another 50. Its not just he scores runs. Its the manner he does it in. Oozes class, so much time when playing shots. A rare talent

[King Tendulkar]

He has altered his backlift. As to seamers bat is in the air before bowled ready to go, before used to stay in stance and not do pre backlift to seamers

[Deleted_User_1]

Kohli and Rohit should be in the test team together as soon as possible. When are the phaacking seniors going to retire?

[ganeshran]

He is not afraid of the short ball, the 6 was just amazing :clap:

[ganeshran]

KT's choice of making threads :hatsoff: evergreen threads :giggle:

He also created Badrinath is class thread :phehehe:

[Brainfade]

:hatsoff: I've railed on him for being unfocused, undisciplined and not doing justice to his natural talent. Eating crow now.

[Sachinism]

@dbackwardpoint Updated: Rohit Sharma, since being recalled this year: 8 Matches, 419 Runs, 140 Average

[ganeshran]

Since his comeback, he has batting amazingly well and with maturity too

[vvvslaxman]

Since his comeback' date=' he has batting amazingly well and with maturity too[/quote'] Good first class season always helps. It is imperative our players play first class matches whenever they get time to get in the zone of batting sensibly.

The problem, is that there is so much international cricket that the big guns take whatever rest comes their way. We are playing too much cricket and BCCI needs to get its scheduling right

[King Tendulkar]

He also created Badrinath is class thread :phehehe:

But I did not back him for long. More of an abberation thread were the next day I woke up thinking why did I do that:hysterical: Rohit I have had wars over him and backed him in his darkest days when he was getting the most vitrolic stick. By the way, where are you finey? Come and call him nohit now!

based on nothing but internet conspiracy theories:winky:

He did have extended periods of poor form. But after being dropped he seems a different player in his second innings.

[Number]

He definitely is class. F***er has so much time to play pull , square cut and leg glance. Amazing talent. His timing is ultimate. On his progress ,these innings while chasing and staying their till the end , will help him becoming a good middle order batsman. Playing with Kohli will also help him on how to build a good long innings.

[VRV Singh]

5th fifty of the year against the Windies, three of them not out. Mashallah pwnage He is fantastic to watch in this form.
