Yes - ODI and T20 is far too batsman oriented. Kohli isn't in Sachin's league. I don't think the new kids understand the pressure Sachin played under for the first 15 odd years of his career - he gets out, game over.

They might even do away with tests in future, who knows. Even change ODIs to lesser over or have more T20s.
Rohit is such a superb player to watch. Grace, elegance and class. Packs a real punch to go with it.
Superb knock today. Really wondered how he'd react to running Kohli out.

My god!
His timing. 
Take a bow. Majestic.Spinner in this situation. Bailey . wtf was he thinking.
BS cricket
I get no joy watching this slog fest

Same here. Too lopsided for my liking but the general public loves it and that's all that matters for the governing bodies.
Helicopter shot. 110 fecking metres
Are Indian pitches really shit? I've not watched most of this series but teams seem able to score 300+ at will.
Normal indian batting paradise pitches, low quality bowling attack on both sides. Plus the new rules.
While it's lopsided, Rohit hasn't slogged much. His technique is special.
Sharma is going to get a 200 it seems. wow.
Anyone watching in Hindi commentary? Sidhu
Darn, should have taken a single. Rohit deserves a double here.
Edit : feck that

200. Superb batting.
another 200.
And there it is. Third batsman to make a 200 in ODI. All 3 Indians.
He's got a double now. I can't be bothered watching this on TV but would've been fun in the ground.
The last 5 overs have yielded a 100 runs.
Gone. Well played, Rohit. The way he paced his innings was brilliant.
All 3 double hundreds in ODI's all by Indian players in India in the last 4 years or so, makes you think that.
Highest ODI score in bangalore.
Great to see Rohit doing well. This is the same guy who could barely get a double digit score few months back. It was always painful watching such a talent not performing to his potential. It's really a joy watching him.

The scores put up in this series have been ridiculous. There has to be something to help the bowlers otherwise it becomes a bore for me.
Sachin, Rohit... who's the third?

He's been in great from since just before the Champions Trophy, I think captaining Mumbai in the IPL helped him mature. He'll fly in Tests.

Sehwag. Highest ODI score of 219*.
Great to see Rohit batting this way, but this is not cricket. I don't enjoy these matches. Poor show.
This is no sport.
Rohit Sharma bettered his collective performance in ODIs in 2012, by 41 runs in today's game. Phenomenal year for him.

Dhoni doesnt like it so by extension, BCCI shouldnt want it either which might mean the rules are changed again.
Bailey. Daft.
well this is one case where the rules SHOULD be changed back. This is insane.
Same rules in Pakistan versus South Africa and they're barely scraping past 200.
It's the pitches and the bowlers.
Why on earth is Watson out here batting with a fecked up hamstring, with the Ashes 3 weeks away in a match that was lost before he came? Have I missed something?
Does Harsha Bhogle run a sports management company that manages Kohli or something? The way he hypes Kohli up is weird.
Shikhar Dhawan is a twat.
Mocking a player's injury(even though it's Shane Watson) is pathetic.

Yeah. Disgraceful.
