No idea what ppl are complaining about with Rohit. He's never going to bat time but at least the scoreboard's looked healthier after his arrival. The other two openers weren't doing either.

Tbf people can complain about shitty shot selection. He wasn't playing shots like that for runs before he got out either, he was dispatching half volleys and balls with width.

According to the radar, this storm that's coming is as small as Shaw's impact on this series.

The complaint is that he looked comfortable enough to score 150 without breaking a sweat, but did that instead.

I strongly disagree with those saying he should never play again - he dominated as opener at home, and 40s in these conditions are more useful than what his competitors offer - but I can definitely see why people are pissed off.

But we've rationed for 50-60 tops from him. Durability and judicious shot selection, not so much.

Yeah I but it with money from my ATM machine that I get from my cards using my PIN number.
More Straya I guess, although I suspect this persists in other countries.

A sad thing along these lines is the Nepalese couple who opened a restaurant in God's waiting room where I live on NSW's mid North Coast. It's a ****ing awesome restaurant with some great Nepalese dishes, but none of the boomers who live here knew what Nepalese food was so they didn't go. They had to change the name of their restaurant to Curries and More, and even change the name of some of their dishes to similar Indian and Chinese meal names to get people to buy them.

They do a roaring trade now, but it's kinda sad having to order "Butter Chicken" to get the Chicken Tarkari I liked.

yeah there is a Nepalese place near me that has amazing momos and other stuff but they weren’t getting any business until they added chicken tikka masala to the menu....

absolute travesty.

Whatever it takes!!!
Ah well, blockathon time I guess with these two in. I remember ranting about how these two go nowhere back in 2017 in the Bangalore test. But Rahane suddenly came out batting differently and helped Pujara along the way. Our only hope right now to be honest, as a batting side.

they should take their time

agarwal and pant can score at a decent rate playing normally but we need one of these two to stick around
