It's not so much about the run rate as it is the lack of rotation of strike on a consistent basis, Gambhir and Kohli in Hobart put on an exhibition on how to chase without basically taking any risks.I don't feel India would have wanted the run rate to be approaching nine with 27 overs to go.... maybe eighteen or so overs to go is a different story but Rahane post Sharma has really put the pressure on Kohli here. Dhoni should have come in earlier.
Judging by that ball he doesn't quite have it yetWTH NMac has a carrom ball now?
Nah, just about average. 46 off the last 43 balls.This is excellent bowling.
I was bshing him even in that series though I went quiet in the 209 innings. It was because of Kohli some that we chased 350 and 360. Rohit was just pissing all over got most part (made up very late in one of those matches but by then Kohli had reduced 360 to a joke already)Rohit's last innings before the SA tour was that, oh I don't know, that ****ing 200 vs Australia? Seriously, weird memory for Sharma bashers. Give him some time, he has earned it.
They've been going on about how he has been practicing it for ages now.WTH NMac has a carrom ball now?
Good strategy. It's probably already saved more runs that it lost us.Strategic misfield by Southee? Making sure Anderson doesn't have to bowl to Kohli?
