"I don't think we should go gaga about him (Mohammad Amir)" : Rohit Sharma

I wonder why Rohit always talk big when it backfire for him every time he open his mouth?
 
Amir owning Rohit again.

I'm satisfied now and don't care about the outcome of the match.
 
Result of the match is bigger than this meaningless battle.

It is, but what can you do when such a poor show is put up by the batting.

Then clueless team selection.

Winning will only be a miracle.

Unfortunately for some, the issue of the pitch, Aamer and 'morale victory' is more important then the fact that we are in 2016, and we still have Pakistan making basic blunders ie not selecting a spinner etc. Declining.
 
For some fans, Kohli moral victory against Faulkner was very important , and on a same hand for some fans Amir' victory against Rohit is more important. But these all are crap logics, moral victory, one person win bla bla bla ridiculous logics these are.
 
Hahaha Just thank your lucky stars he got out early. If he had lingered for couple of more overs, the match would've been over within 10 overs.
 
Be Ready Mr Rohit. Amir will destroy indian batting line up tomorrow in his favorite conditions.
 
Exciting contest coming our way, hope Rohit demolishes Pakistan including the hyper wonderkid.
 
Amir will once again own Rohit. I'm surprised Rohit actually made these remarks. Felt he was sensible..
 
FTB should have said something like this before this match. amir will destroy him he just can't play hint of swing.

I don't know what that smokeless means but s.Africa is much better than Indian team that's why they are ranked no.1.
Everybody knows rohit is a FTB you can check his records outside of Asia do you remember that series where he said to dale steyn come to India we will see.He is a FTB!!
 
Rohit vs Amir battle begins... Excellent first over by Amir
 
Amir had him in all sorts of trouble. He got a couple of boundaries off of him, but both were edged.
 
Rohit still struggles vs quality pace bowlers and has issues on wickets helpful for bowlers.

Him and Guptill for this reason can never become odi greats of the game.They will do well vs weaker attacks in WC and play some match winning knocks on flat decks in bilaterals where the bowling attacks are generally not the strongest.
 
Rohit Sharma when ball swings in......

Hopefully he has been put into his place now, you are nothing in front of Amir,Rohit, just accept it.
 
Scoreline ATM

Amir (3) - Rohit (1)

Not exactly a true representation of 73-52 but I guess we know why our Lot has had the wood on them historically..

Take it away boyes :snack:

One is FTB and the other is GTB. Both of them r pretty MEDIOCRE to be completely honest. Amir usually gets thrashed around when ball stops swinging and Rohit starts poking around when the ball starts swinging.

A Pathetic bowling average of 32 in Tests describes Amir quite well.

Any Lallu can bowl like a Babbar Sher with a scoreboard pressure of 340. Even Indian Bowlers historically have done that plenty of times because we are used to Batsmen scoring huge and average bowlers choking down the opposition .

If India had batted first on that day, our batsmen would have put up a mammoth score playing under no pressure of chase just like the first match. The Scoreboard pressure did more damage to the Indian batters than some excellent Pakistani bowling.

Do you think India would have been bowled out as cheaply as they did if they had batted first? Think about it.

Rohit has got two double tons in Odis ( far bigger achievement than taking sone wickets under the scoreboard pressure of 340 ) but I will still admit that he is average, and so is Amir.

The pitch where Pakistan scored 330+ was a green track?
 
I must say I really enjoyed watching flat footed Sharma get done by Amir both in the asia cup and in the champions trophy Both times, Sharma was made to look average by Amir.

Good thought experiment to think about who is winning this battle:
1) how will Sharma feel before an India Pak match, knowing Amir is playing.
2) And how will Amir feel before India Pak match, knowing Sharma will be opening the batting.

I contend that Amir will feel he always has a chance to get Sharma because of his non-existent foot movement, whereas, based on his past experience, Sharma will be pretty scared night before having to face Amir because he knows he has a weakness and Amir is one of the best at exploiting it. So Amir vs Sharma atm definitely won by Amir

Even at his worst and after 5 years of lay off , he has never gotten thrashed. Just went wicketless but always has good economy.

kohli have said he is world class bowler

cook have said the bowler the most he struggle against are amir is one of them

so who are you ??better than these players or keyboard worrier

also you should tell this to county franchise and also your own BPL to save their money from Average bowler
 
Lol Harmanpreet Kaur is a lot better than Rohit when it comes to batting :))) Jokes aside Amir is a class bowler and will be ripping through batting lineups in the future just as we saw in the CT 2017 final, he's got fantastic support from captain Sarfraz.

You're an embarrassment. Amir has owned you and your heroes. Turned Rohit into his pet, exposed Kohli in the biggest match of his life and set fire to Dhawan's mountain of CT17 runs with a single delivery.

I know the burn hurts and I know that you don't have the class to appreciate your superiors but I suggest you move on from this thread and refrain from turning yourself into a laughing stock.

You always keep hyping your players as if all of them are legends. Amir has hardly given some match winning perfomances since his comeback. When you have to give example of bowler doing great in match where he had 340 to defend along with the huge pressure of ct final on his side you know that he is not world class. Rohit sharma may well be a ftb but he is and will always be better than your medicore batsmen and hyped bowlers.
Hasan ali is the only world class bowler in pak squad with shadab having the ability to become so. Amir has been pretty medicore and just because of one or two perfomances trolls like you keep hyping him up.

Wow, couldn't have said it better. I have already made the point of the scoreboard pressure of 340.

India was defeated mainly by the Pakistani batting that day, instead of some exceptional bowling to which the credit is being given. Kohli and Co were taken aback by a mammoth score set up by Pakistan Batsman as they had never expected to chase such a huge target after opting to bowl first.

Don't forget his astonishing average of 41 in Test outside England against top 8.

As I said earlier, he's an average bowler without any substantial assistance from the pitch or condition. :uakmal

Evevery player will have some good days and bad days. It was Amir's lucky day, so he performed. But that one exception haven't changed the fact that Amir relys heavily on wicket or conditions to take wickets.

He becomes extremely ordinary if he doesn't get assistance fron the wicket,very similar to Rohit. Rohit becomes unstoppable if he gets the chance to play on his favourable wicket, similarly Amir becomes a tricky customer to handle for the batters if wicket or condition favors his style of bowling.
 
Carry on cry babies. This champions trophy loss and Amir's 3 wickets in finale are going to hurt you for two more year if u continue to feel soreness of it.Better would be for you to accept the superiority of Pakistani team and amir over their counter parts for the time being 😜
P.s An average bowler bowled out Indian best batsman in two successive deliveries . So if the bowler is mediocre , then batsman would have been even worse.

So just one single match where he went for 7 runs an over, proves that he was thrashed? I am assuming you are trolling or maybe you have really high standards because your team has legends like Mustafizur and Taskin.

I am going to repeat my question, was the wicket where Pakistan scored 330+ not favorable to batting? Or did the evil PCB alter the pitch mid match?

I won't reply to the first part since it has nothing meaningful about it however let's try to test that theory of yours shall, the one that says that Indian batsmen succumbed to the pressure of the chase rather than some (I won't use the word exception), lets just say 'Good Bowling'.

According to cricinfo commentary, which is predominantly run by Indians, this is their take on how the action unfolded......

Rohit's Wicket
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.2 - No Run - Mohammad Amir to Sharma, no run, there we go. Spots the good length ball, darting past him with the angle. Says he wants nothing to do with it
Click to expand...

Makes one go past Sharma with the angle, if you look at the highlights, it's a scrambled seamed delivery with his wrists towards the slip region which means the delivery was intended to go away from him - This was the setup delivery while the next one is the catch.

0.3 - Wicket - Mohammad Amir to Sharma, OUT, you absolute beauty! This is why Pakistan wanted Amir, even a version that only just recovered from a back spasm. The inswing. This scary, sensational, freakish ability to move the ball even on the flattest conditions at searing pace. Rohit is about as ready for this ball as the we are for Bruce Willis to actually go to outer space and drill a hole into an asteroid. #Armageddon. Stuck in the crease, plays around his front pad. Pinned on the knee roll.,Gone
Click to expand...
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Working Virat Kohli Over
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.4 - No Run - Mohammad Amir to Kohli, no run, beats him first ball! At 145 kph, 90 mph! A fast bwler's friendly hello to the world's leading batsman
Click to expand...

Now comes the fourth stump setup while making sure Virat is late on the ball and is not able to cover the line, first he draws him forward so that virat gets to make contact with the ball.

2.2 - No Run - Mohammad Amir to Kohli, no run, pitches it up on off stump, Kohli drills it back to the bowler and Amir collects it himself and aims a throw. The Indian captain, grinning all the way, brings up a hand to say "stop, let's not go overboard".
Click to expand...

Since now he got him moving and playing on Off stump all he had to was to fire a ball across and make him chase it a bit (only a bit).

2.3 - No Run - Mohammad Amir to Kohli, no run, dropped by first slip, Azhar Ali! He yanks his cap off his head and throws it to the ground, wishing it would open up under him. It is a dolly really. Coming around about waist high, needing him to move to his right. Azhar does so, lines the ball up so well to grab at it with both hands but it pops out. Poor Amir. He bowls a peach and it's all for naught. It's back of a length, nipping away just a touch to beat the middle and take the edge. Even one of the No. 1 ranked batsman
Click to expand...

Every thing worked except, of course, the drop catch. He had beaten him on his vulnerability, which is that fourth stump like so naturally being the best batsman in the World Kohli would try and minimize it by improvising and getting into a position that would enable him to country this. As a bowler Amir knew that the batsman would now get proactive so the only way he would induce a false shot would be to drag his length and try to disrupt the timing of the next shot - He did exactly that !

2.4 - Wicket - Mohammad Amir to Kohli, OUT, got him next ball. Amir, you legend! He takes flight. He punches the air like it spoke ill of his family. A fit, even a half fit bowler like him is worth tons for a team. This is back of a length, on off stump, and Kohli, looking to move across and flick into the on side gets a leading edge straight to point. Amir makes him play early. Amir sends him back. Amir puts a smile on Pakistan's face. Amir is making The Oval chant his name
Click to expand...


Dhawan - The Man in Form
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before Dhawan got that brute of a cross seamer which bounced and beat him for length and pace, Amir made him play four consecutive deliveries on the Off stump so that he would start to feel bat on ball, while defending. Here is the setup

8.1 - No Run - Mohammad Amir to Dhawan, no run, back of a length on off stump, blocks
Click to expand...
8.2 - No Run - Mohammad Amir to Dhawan, no run, 143 kph, gets in line with a shortish delivery on off stump and punches to cover point. The speeds he's bowling, you'd never have thought he had a back spasm
Click to expand...
8.3 - No Run - Mohammad Amir to Dhawan, no run, full on off stump, at 143 kph, defends
Click to expand...

The change up now.......

8.4 - 1 Run - Mohammad Amir to Dhawan, 1 run, nicely played. This is a pretty good ball. Looking for middle stump. But Dhawan softens the hands on his bat and pushes it to mid-on for a quick single. Lovely batting
Click to expand...

He got him playing four times so that he would get used to a specific length of a delivery and then fire in an off stump ball that would be of the same length but bounce a bit more uneven due to the cross seam.

8.6 - Wicket - Mohammad Amir to Dhawan, OUT, nicked off, It's Amir again! This time with extra bounce! Is there anything he can't do?! The perfect ball. It's a cross-seamer - brilliant thinking - in that off stump corridor. Dhawan loads up the glide to third man, as Amir might have predicted as he held the ball across the seam, willing it to bounce more. And it does. Grazes the outside edge through to Sarfraz who leaps for joy. This is the power of a fast bowler on a mission. They end games in a matter of minutes.

Yuvraj Singh - Got outfoxed by an 18 year old
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yuvraj was outmaneuvered by an 18 year old, with the oldest trick in the book. A 1-2 standard sequence for a leg spinner and Yuvraj was trapped as plump as it can get.

12.5 - No Run - Shadab Khan to Yuvraj Singh, no run, toldja he bowls a mean googly. Loops it up, the ball nice and tempting, bringing out the cover drive and leaving it behind
Click to expand...
12.6 - Wicket - Shadab Khan to Yuvraj Singh, OUT, huge appeal for lbw, Shadab thinks it is pad first, and it's the sharp-turning leggie as well. Shadab is absolutely certain. He has convinced his captain to review. Replays show that it is pad first. Hits low as well. But Yuvi has a decent stride in. On-field call is not out. But it has to be changed! Ball-tracker shows it will hit middle of middle and the 18-year old has a strike all his own. Made his captain take DRS and then celebrates a vital wicket.
Click to expand...
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are the first four wickets of the Indian innings and I'll leave it at that however, I understand that it's massively difficult for the average Indian to come to terms with the fact that Pakistan hammered you guys (in all facets of the game) by putting on the biggest margin of victory in tournament finals in history of the game.

Amir might be averaging 32 in test cricket but make no mistake, 99% of you lot will swap him in a heartbeat for the entire Indian bowling squad without blinking twice. Two tournament finals, two spells to take out the best of the tournament / format.
