Damn, I missed the first innings.
Did Aaron bowl well?

Aaron and Yadav are just raw pace with virtually no other attributes. If they were in the English setup they'd be picked and dropped within about 18 months but would develop a more rounded bowling game after about 2-3 years. In India they'll be picked and dropped every few months and become a one-dimensional trundler in 2-3 years.

Yup, nippy (85-90mph) and swung it from a full length.

When Kieswetter took the catch to dismiss Rahane (which wasn't bad at all), KP went to grab him, but put one arm between his legs and tried to pick him up. Looked so suss.
Bit like this

Yeah, quite often he has to sacrifice himself for the team.

What do you mean by that?
ed: not trying to be a **** here, he's bookended in the order by Kohli and p. much the yardstick for ODI lower order batting.

A lot of times he comes in during the slog overs, since he bats lower down the order. On the other hand, Kohli has much more time to establish himself and construct a proper innings higher up the order.

Uh no, this isn't normally how it plays out, for the majority of his career he's batted at either 6 or 7 (Dhoni and him flip back and forth most of the time). Virat's played at # 3 quite a bit, as well as # 4
So Kohli has had a lot more chances of getting that big score. That's not taking anything from Kohli btw, he's been awesome for us over the last 2 years, just saying that a comparison to Raina isn't valid. Kohli and Gambhir would be a much better comparison.

Don't think anyone's suggesting Dhoni isn't a better ODI bat than Raina, though.
Raina's one day record is fine.

Yeah, but reckon' Dhoni's a better bat than Raina. All those games he's finished off for us with Yuvraj, and still be not out at the crease, spring to mind.

Ahok that's fair enough.
He's at 5 right now because people like Tendulkar aren't playing, right?
