Nohit Sharma vs Martin Gotpills

[Gnske]

channel 9 should have recovered and sold some of his lost toes as sporting memorabilia during the australian tour, signed by martin guptill

Will they also be selling the bones of Jesus Christ and the beard hairs of WG Grace?

 

[Gob]

The Gotpills name us so horrendously low effort. Deadset the most piss poor attempt at a "funny" burn name.

I didn't coin the term Gotpills it was there. Dunno about the exact origins but I suspect Gnske is the father of this

i just read everything he posts in will arnett's voice and it becomes hilarious

Oh micheal

 

[Gob]

you were expecting comedy genius from one of the australian horde of wannabe murphys?

Bahnz's "Gulptill" still the best by a distance.

I want your respect back

 

[kiwiviktor81]

Gotpills... seems to be implying that he has a drug addiction.

I read it as that he takes stimulants in order to give himself super batting powers, like a kind of cricketing Popeye.

Then he has not been taking them properly

 

[Fuller Pilch]

I reckon 'Gut pill' (the sort of thing Warney got from his mum to hide the beer pot) would be a better name.

Urban Dictionary: guptil

Rohit is better than Guptill in all formats imo.

 

[indiaholic]

Predictable like from PEWS.

 

[Niall]

Guptill the marginally better T20 bat imo, but Rohit is the marginally better ODI bat.

.

Rohit is better in both white ball formats, lets not forget how crucial Rohit has been to the Mumbai Indians winning the most important Domestic t20 competition in the world while Guptil has never even got picked up.

 

[Flem274*]

didn't realise nohit played in the big bash or super smash

 

[OverratedSanity]

Nohit being more accomplished in Tests than Guptill is a myth. He has two big unbeaten tons against West Indies on debut and averages like 20 since then with a handful of fifties. Thats basically the same as Guptil when you take away his lanka-bullying; and Guptil has the harder job and only 8 toes so he deserves more credit.

Rohit's debut hundred while it was vs West indies, was a genuinely awesome innings.

That's not a criteria to assess quality though.

I rarely follow IPL so my opinions are mainly based on what I have seen of them in international cricket

Also, it's hardly a fair comparison

Rohit, Indian Player, teams have to select 7 Indians in their side and there are only so many quality Indian batsmen
Guptill, International Player, Teams have only 4 places in their side, and there are a ton of quality international batsmen.

India did lose 5 for less than 100, and Dhoni followed after 50 or so runs IIRC. Then he and Ashwin put on 200+ I think. So yeah, it was a tough situation, but considering how WI capitulated in that series, and his subsequent performances, it's worth becomes a bit questionable in hindsight.

Sublime batting, enjoy !

 

[Aaron510]

Guptil for me.. I still feel like Rohit will struggle outside subcontinents... I really want to see him score some runs in Aus, and south Africa..but for now Guptil for me.

 

[Gob]

Rohit scored plenty in Australia, Arun

 

[Jord]

lol, That you earnestly state "He got runs in Australia" as if that's some sort of achievement these days with the roads being produced there.
