saneindian Posted July 11, 2013 Posted July 11, 2013 Small matter of him doing well in FC cricket as well. Look at his season wise record 08-09 - 881 runs@80, 4 100s 09-10 - 718 runs@80, 3 100s 10-11 - 768 runs@96, 2 100s 11-12 - 339 runs@113, 2 100s 12-13 - 790 runs@61, 3 100s :giggle:
CG Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Great knock again on a difficult pitch.Love how he values his wicket nowadays.
Manny_Pacquiao Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 since becoming an opener in january, he has scored 423 runs @ 42.30, with 4 fifties in 11 matches. he has been involved in 3 100+ opening stands. its not bad, but then his highest score is only 83 (vs ENG at mohali) and SR is 70. from a team point of view, you can see why they still persist with him. good runner between the wickets, good communication with shikhar and a good fielder. doesn't score big but will hold up an end at the very least. i still think there are openers out there who could do better but maybe he isn't doing as bad as ppl think? i might be judging him too harshly on his individual stats. big individual scores look nice on the scorecard but partnerships are more valuable. and after today's game, he is averaging over 43 this year and has 5 fifties in 12 matches. its hard to complain about those numbers, even if he hasnt made the big score. he is also trying harder than ever to protect his wicket. wasnt that a huge criticism ppl had - giving it away easily?
King Tendulkar Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 As **** as he is' date=' he's had a pretty good series[/quote'] Why abuse him? What has he done? Young bat who has matured, worked on his game and now doing well. Why abuse players who work and improve?? Plus should be in test team immediatley. Will really boost and solidify middle order for SA
King Tendulkar Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 he`s still crap grow up and stop being so bitter
Old guy Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Why abuse him? What has he done? Young bat who has matured, worked on his game and now doing well. Why abuse players who work and improve?? Plus should be in test team immediatley. Will really boost and solidify middle order for SA he probably said shyte..its more of a phase than abuse
Sachin=GOD Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Rohit's time has just started. He will do very well when he gets a chance in SA Tests.
King Tendulkar Posted July 12, 2013 Author Posted July 12, 2013 i wont mind rohit batting @6 in saf Well thats biggest turn around ever. One minute he is crap and now want him in test team:hysterical:
vishalvirsingh Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 He is not mediocre but will end up as one because he throws away the starts he gets. rohit was in form in IPL but i guess he is still not one of the best and he has got a lot of chance. i beleive pujara , rahane ,Manoj Tiwari , even Raydu are better than him as they have produced consistent and better RESULTS. Manoj tiwari has been plain unlucky or dhoni kinda hated him so he was not given that many chances.Rahane is also an exceptional batsman and is bound to suceed. Pujara is probably a better batsman than even KOHLI so he is by far the best INDIA batsman as on today , whether it is ODI or Tests..yes he may not suit t 20. so i beleive ROHIT got so many chances bcos of his contacts and i guarantee all these guys will suceed big time if they are in the eleven. dont expect much in africa from him, sure his defence technique is not that good.
adi B Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Well thats biggest turn around ever. One minute he is crap and now want him in test team:hysterical: u are too naive to understand my stand on nohit :beee:
SLICKR392 Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Well thats biggest turn around ever. One minute he is crap and now want him in test team:hysterical: Look whose talking about turn arounds. :cantstop:
maniac Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 He needs to bat No6....Go with 3 seamers and Ashwin....Sir will be a liability with the bat,Aswin will be a better bet than him with the bat anyway.
jj_28 Posted July 12, 2013 Posted July 12, 2013 Rohit has extremely well as an opener, he just needs to build on the starts he's been getting consistently
ravishingravi Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 It was a great knowck by any standards on a tough pitch. Hats off to him.
SLICKR392 Posted July 13, 2013 Posted July 13, 2013 It was a great knowck by any standards on a tough pitch. Hats off to him. Yeah, both the knocks against SL were crucial and good.
