***Official*** Match #9- India vs Afghanistan, October 11th, Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi

[King Kane]

Rohit batting like he has a plane to catch.

 

[Darwin Award]

Rohit just equaling or breaking records in this innings:

1.Joint fastest to 1000 World Cup runs (shared with Warner in 19 innings
2.Most sixes hit in International Career- now over 554

.. Now gunning for the fastest century by an Indian at the World Cup... 72 balls I think by Kapil Dev.

You've seen the schedule right?

 

[Andyhere]

Nelson comes up. Hopefully doesn't strike

 

[Socerer 01]

Rohit in this form could have scored 200 if target was bigger or we batted 1st

He's still scoring 200 here. ishan is a passenger at this point.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is brutal

cometh the minnows cometh the man

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

No way this dude is 25

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Have to give it to the cameramen...finding all these beauties in the stands.

Man of the match award goes to them.

 

[King Kane]

Finally Rashid Khan gets a bowl, he was probably hoping Rohit would be out by the time he came on.

Great bowlers shouldn't be afraid of which batsman is in the middle. Something the great Curtly Ambrose said. You are a bowler. Period.

Ahh! Yes Afghanistan is one of the weaker teams but their strength is bowling, I wouldn't quite call them a minnow.

I am sure Rashid would back himself to get Rohit out but the damage has been done, he should have been bowling to him before the game was over.

[Andyhere]

Rohit slowed down in pursuit of century, I would think he would go all guns blazing after century.

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

That was a long drinks break

Probably so they can squeeze in adverts now that aren't going to be required during the last 15 overs of this game.

3.Fastest Century by an Indian at the World Cup
4.Most centuries hit at the World Cup- 7... surpasses Tendulkar's 6 (This one might last for a few decades as there really isn't anyone on the horizon who will beat it)

What if another batsman at this WC score 8 100s in a row?

 

[Andyhere]

These two didn't score any runs in the last game, seems like they may score all runs possible today.
