that our most talented and skilled frontline batsmen like Rohit Sharma, Shikar Dhawan, Virat Kohli, Suresh Raina, Ajinkya Rahane, Ambati Rayudu etc will watch the recording of Martin Guptill's knock of 237 n.o. against WI in the last quarterfinal several times until the following aspects register strong and deep in their minds:
1. How to wait patiently in early stages of any match
2. How to build an innings
3. How to avoid the tendency to go berserk after reaching mediocre milestones like a fifty or 100
4. How not to play fancy or premeditated shots like reverse sweep, scoop but achieve excellence through positive and proper cricketing shots
5. How to play in the best interests of the team and never to worry too much about personal landmarks
The way Bangladesh PM and Mustafa Kamal That The umpiring decisions seemed to be pre arranged and poor umpiring is the only reason for Bangladesh elimination from the world cup is serious and to be investigated by ICC. Umpiring errors may be different but pre arrangement is nothing but match fixing. Of course before reaching home you must create a doubt in the minds of angry home crowd for their own safety. They have reached last 8 only by default and thank the rain gods for the extra point against Australia. Beating England is the only point, otherwise they have played their normal cricket. Even today we rate England is a better team. I do not understand why ICC is keeping quite on an issue of alleged Pre arranged umpiring decisions. If there is any truth in it then Bangladesh must be allowed to play against Australia instead of India.

Your knowledge is very poor. He was only centurion against aussies in the tri series. Also way back 2007 he scored match winning 50 against australia in Australia.

In this world cup he is yet to prove. Of the 7 matches we won Bangla desh because of him. But in other matches in fact he pulled down the teams performance. It is VERY MUCH essential he has to score more agst Australia. If top 3 batsmen score 45% of total score within 30 overs then the team wins with huge margin.
hehehehe...a master stroke by dhoni to make rohit sharma an opener...like dhoni said rohit's talent was getting wasted at no. 6 so he made rohit odi opener....just like ganguly made sehwag an opener....
as an opener in one dayers rohit sharma has scored around 2200 runs in 49 innings with 50 runs average and 18 scores of 50 plus ....
