Very harsh . . . Jeet. I rate Rohit Sharma.

Im quite interested in how you rate Pakistan?

Rohit has played 61 ODI's and has a pathetic average of 27 with 2 hundreds. In India he's touted as the new Tendulkar etc but he's mentally weak.

Pakistan are hot and cold. Batting is fragile, but bowling can destroy any side.

[100 not out]

Look at Misbah Ul Haq now, he was on the verge of retiring a few months back but got a chance. Dont write Rohit off just yet. Some players need a kick up the backside to get them going.

Rohit knows he'll all ways be around the national side, so he won't change his ways.

Someone who averages 61 in F/C is all ways going to be in the selectors minds, however mediocre their performances are.

Rohit has competition now anyway, Ajinkya Rahane is pressing for selection and he's better than Rohit.

It's ok pete the convicts are just holding on to the last thing they can remotely do odi's as they are useless in tests never been any good at t20 so let them big themselves up Pakistan have a strong chance for me but if India can bowl well through the tournament there batting may be too strong for everyone

mmmm bit of a short memory fella.  and the convict sledge is not all that relevant...

Of course, I'm being a racialist.

To understand the rules fully, have a look aroud youtube.

In brief synopsis, if any non Indian/Pakistani fans make any reference to the India/Pakistan teams that is anything other than glowingly positive, they are being racist.

However the twist in the tail is this;

Indian/Pakistani fans can say what they like about the team of any other nation because for us (non Indian/Pakistani fans) to accuse the Indian/Pakistani fans of being racist is itself being racist towards them.


I emphasise the  before anyone gets on their high horse.


 

Gold!

Why the short memory?

It's English Aussie banter all fun

He is an Aussie so he baits the English just the way it is

rohit sharma...? oh jeez, where do i start?

I'll save you the troubles Alvaro, don't

Much better players around the Indian domestic scene. Mukund, Rahane, Badrinath, Pujara, Manoj Tiwary (fallen out of favour a bit though), Yashpal Singh (probably missed the boat at 29, but still a quality player) and a couple of others that I can't think of off the top of my head...

oh, I have no qualms copping it from english cricket fans, we've had it our way for decades, as a cricket fan I enjoyed many of the english ashes performances......we're not very good at loosing, primarily because we're not used to it....

anyway, last nights game was a ripper, well done to both teams.  India are tournament favourites, but I think a number of teams are equally well placed, including england.  Bresnan was massively impressive out here and is a fantastic cricketer.

L17, I don't know why you've baited everyone here, not constructive mate. 

Bit of fun, nothing to it. I love to dish it out, but I also love to get it back. Makes it more fun

[langer17]

It was a good game though and I'm happy that India didn't win. Now I can pay my mate out
