You probably get away with it because no one would think you’d be stupid enough to think of it let alone deliberately do it

That list is basically an indictment of Indian batting in excel spreadsheet form. Love it.

DIdnt realise all of Tendulkar Gavaskar and Dravid averaged more away than at home

Nah, the ability to convert starts into hundreds is a massive component to test match batting. It’s probably the single most important component of test match batting.
The fact he’s a walking wicket away from home and him making a 50 odd out here was thought of as some sort of achievement by him basically confines him to being the SC Dave Warner.

You should try it on Old Windsor Road next time you’re over here and see how it goes

I don't mind if Rohit wants to get himself out now

He does it for fun at home too. Even though it *looks* mental I'm starting to really doubt it is. If it's mental you probably don't average 80 at home (with a 60% conversion rate) and 27 away (with 6 fifties and no tons) - there's probably some technical demons that aren't immediately apparent at play for that to happen.
I love watching him bat so I hope the whole opening thing is a new lease on life away from home but I'm not really holding my breath.

the one that goes through fairfield?

He may have to; they've looked very comfortable since the lunch break.

Yeah he plays away from his body with an angled bat a fair bit to pace which screws him over when it bounces and moves. Also finds it tough to ride the bounce when that happens. He’s like a fat Gill in that regard.

No that’s the Cumberland Highway. old Windsor Road goes from Parra out through Toongabbie to Baulko and Bella Vista

Yeah the good ol' coverblock. Joe Burns to confirm.

One theory is that he's does not trust his technique away from home, which is why he plays so many daft shots when under pressure. Doesn't back himself to ride out a testing spell of bowling or to rotate the strike risk free.
Reckon it's really mental for him more than technique. He's enroute to being the GOAT ODI opener, possibly usurping Sachin. He's got game.

There’s no future in it for anyone vs the new ball in a real cricket country. You need to be about 60 not out in the 40th over or so for it to work
Also helps not to be Joe Burns.
