dont know what is the logic behind having raina when u have a great batsmen like rohit sharma in the line.raina dosent have the technique to sustain in test,its a waste of space.it is not right to just hire him becoz he is close to captain .

it is not a joke. Rohit is a great batsman. He and kohli did well before the australian series, just because kohli scored a century he was taken and Rohit was consigned to benches. Rohit should be given a chance in test cricket. Even great Rahul Dravid had failed completely in his first series in Singapore and he was persisted with in the next series in England and rest is history

Rohit flopped even when he wsa part of India A side. There is no doubting his talent, but he bats and wafts his bat like a prince. He is very good to watch (without the ball). I think he will get his chances sooner or later, but how he utilizes them remains to be seen

rohit has been given chances in how many odis n tti? if other good batsman had got even 20% of rohit' chances, they wud hv prospered. example, kohli, manoj tiwari, n now pujara.

rohit is not a talent at all. pujara kohli manoj tiwari n badri r more talented than him. even raina is anytime better to rotten rohit.
Sachin was not very confident and was not playing his natural game. The funny thing I have always noticed is when Schin gets bowled out, he will act as if the ball kept really low. Same thing today as well and the ball hit the top of the middle stump. Good fun! Sachin should enjoy his game and have fun. No burden on him now.
