Worst Specialist Batsmen currently?

[Furball]

Perhaps Rohit has been selected too young in a format of the game he's not best suited to.

I've heard a few people champion his cause for the Test side (our own SJS, iirc, was extremely optimistic of his future ability.)

IIRR, Rohit Sharma's one-day average is higher than his First-Class one, which is exceptionally unusual.

Don't think his First-Class average is even much over 40 currently, which is wholly unexceptional by Indian standards (the good players almost all average over 50). I think Sharma's just more promise than deliverance currently.

Sharma's just deliverance currently.

Rohit averages a shade under 44 in FC, and 40 in domestic List A.

IMO Mubarak > Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma happens to be in a league below Mubarak even. Rohit Sharma & Mubarak have the same average - 24 in ODIs and both are specialist batsmen. In this year, Mubarak averages 72 & Rohit Sharma only 25. And out of these 2, Mubarak played a match-winning innings in the 5th ODI against India recently. Rohit Sharma is yet to play even a single match-winning innings in ODIs.

Forget the CB series first final???

In the 5th match, it was no way Mubarak singlehandedly saved Sri Lanka. Rather Thilan Thushara who did that.

Must've had a few good FC games recently then. Last I looked it was something like 39 FC, 41 OD.

Is that OD record including or excluding international matches?

Excluding.

List A average is 33 iirc, as his poor to date ODI performances have dragged it down.
