King Tendulkar Posted December 31, 2013 Author Posted December 31, 2013 All I'm saying that it isn't the ultimate test that silences critics. Eng tour is another story. Well yes agree But I know its not really fashinable to look at things like this. But Rohit did look very very comfotable at the crease whole series. Not ruffled, bullied or looking like rabbits in head lights. Looked very good, which gives me faith that will kick on from those starts and get those scores. Rohit has very good record in making big scores in FC and tests previous, so dont buy the temperament thing at all By the way same with dhawan. Looked very good at times, no issues. Just a stroke of luck and these 2 might have scored big, have faith both will come good
GautiMaan Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Wonder if Vijay would have had so many supporters if his scores read similar to Rohit:laugh:
Detonator Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Wonder if Vijay would have had so many supporters if his scores read similar to Rohit:laugh: He has back to back tons like Rohit. So many of our peeps (esp Rohit fans) forgot that and calling to drop him bcoz he has no tailunt like rohit :haha:
Lord Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 Rohit learns that if you can’t bat, you should not chat Some good old fashioned cricket banter is always welcome and Rohit Sharma and Dale Steyn treated the fans to some of it during the second and final Test match between India and South Africa in Durban. It all started when Rohit hooked him for four, after which Steyn said something to the India batsman. Rohit, of course, hit back with words of his own, continuing to jaw with Steyn from the non-striker's end. One of his comebacks was: "We'll see how you do when you come to India:facepalm:." Well, isn't that what Gambhir told the English players too? And we all know what happened when they did come to India a year ago. Also, if Rohit were check out Steyn's statistics while sitting in the dressing rooom, he would find out that the South African's average in India is 20.23 and that he has taken 26 wickets in five Tests. This is better than his career average of 22.88. Facepalm moment, no? Steyn wasn't holding back either. He pointed out to Rohit that "I have got more runs than you in this series." Steyn has 60 runs from three innings while Rohit has 45 runs from four innings. The slip fielders also joined in, "Keep talking brother, keep talking," before Steyn's final parting shot: "You've played a handful of Tests and have done nothing in your career." A few moments later Rohit lost his wicket to Vernon Philander. Guess if you can't bat, you shouldn't chat either. :giggle:
velu Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 He has back to back tons like Rohit. So many of our peeps (esp Rohit fans) forgot that and calling to drop him bcoz he has no tailunt like rohit :haha: probably rohit fans too got similar sized brains as that of rohit
Number Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 probably rohit fans too got similar sized brains as that of rohit Dhobi is the one who backed him the most, he must be having really small one.
Marut Posted December 31, 2013 Posted December 31, 2013 And... Rohit is a superb back foot player, will have no probs long term overseas. Raina as we know has clear weakness which is expolited Is that why he challenged Steyn at home now?
King Tendulkar Posted December 31, 2013 Author Posted December 31, 2013 Is that why he challenged Steyn at home now? He had to say something. yeah lame but at least he wanted to spew rubbish back:giggle:
Detonator Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 probably rohit fans too got similar sized brains as that of rohit :giggle:
gattaca Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Can we re name this thread to Rohit sharma is a hack ?
King Tendulkar Posted January 1, 2014 Author Posted January 1, 2014 Can we re name this thread to Rohit sharma is a hack ? not until his test average goes below 60
velu Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 not until his test average goes below 60 66.66 .. wait for another 1 innings:giggle:
SLICKR392 Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 He had to say something. yeah lame but at least he wanted to spew rubbish back:giggle: That's all he did in this tour. 'Spewed' some rubbish back. He probably was stuck on the crease while doing that as well.
King Tendulkar Posted January 1, 2014 Author Posted January 1, 2014 That's all he did in this tour. 'Spewed' some rubbish back. He probably was stuck on the crease while doing that as well. Only 2 matches. He will fire. No worries. Class
div Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 And... Rohit is a superb back foot player, will have no probs long term overseas. Raina as we know has clear weakness which is expolited like Shane Watson?
Lord Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 watson is a front foot plonker. but has a good backfoot game
CG Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 but has a good backfoot game U can't against fast bowlers juts plonk the front foot and play pull shots of it like he tries to do ,Against medium pacers on sc tracks he may get away but not in tests thats why his poor average.
Number Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 Rohit reminds me of Damien Martyn in terms of feet movement(minimal), both are elegant. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5MHlA3aUKA]Damien Martyn 116* vs New Zealand 2000 - YouTube[/ame] Martyn also had ups and downs before establishing himself.
vvvslaxman Posted January 1, 2014 Posted January 1, 2014 but has a good backfoot game He may have.. Haven't seen that been put to use. He even pulls from front foot. His first trigger movement huge stride. The caught and bowled practice he gave was epic :cantstop:
