Why not push Rohit to the top replacing Murali Vijay as he possesses a great technique against fast bowlers. Besides he has combined well with Shikhar Dhawan to make it count.
Such a move will pave way for talented players like Ajinkya Rahane/Manoj Tiwary, to be included in the middle order..
Murali Vijay does not have the technique to face genuine fast bowlers and could come as a cropper in South Africa..
Media is always hipe top order batman... not talk about 3-4 order batsman.. or bowler bats well... All are corporate strategy to push one guy for media attension... Aswin's 92 is not bad at all.. no word in the entire story...
There is no use promoting Ashwin.He is not handsome enough to sell,shampoo_soap_and_toothpaste. Rohit can sell many toothpaste_brands.So he is promoted by paid media at the behest of corporates that is looking for new sales man to sell their products.
The new generation of Australian,Kiwis and English are focusing on short games such as football,Basketball,Tennis,etc.These games have more money and less wastage of time.
West Indians are more focused in Olympic atheletics as Olympic medal bring more money and fame for them.And some others also taking up football and basketball.
Most progressing team in cricket is Bangladesh.It is followed by Srilanka and then India.All these are very corrupt third world countries and that is lot of black money to fix games and lot of free time to spend.
Pakistan would have done well also but they are busy playing bomb bomb and tearing each others arsees_in home turf.
