Rohit Sharma has called out the ICC and the match referees for what he sees as double standards at rating pitches. After winning the shortest Test in the history of the game, thanks to a lottery pitch loaded too heavily in the favour of the seam bowlers, Rohit was scathing about the slander against pitches in India, which don't go the distance. "I mean, we saw what happened in this match, how the pitch played and stuff like that," Rohit said. "I honestly don't mind playing on pitches like this. As long as everyone keeps their mouth shut in India and don't talk too much about Indian pitches, honestly. "Because you come here [in Test cricket] to challenge yourself. Yes, it is dangerous. It is challenging. So, and when people come to India, it is again pretty challenging as well. Look, when you are here to play Test cricket, we talk about Test cricket, the ultimate prize, Test cricket being the pinnacle and stuff like that. I think it's important that we also stand by it. "When you are put up against, a challenge like that, you come and face it. That's what happens in India, but, in India on day one, if the pitch starts turning, people start talking about 'Puff of dust! Puff of dust!' There's so much crack here on the pitch. People are not looking at that." Rohit singled out the match referees and some of the ratings pitches received in last year's World Cup, held in India. "I think it's important that we stay neutral everywhere we go," Rohit said. "Especially the match referees. You know, some of these match referees need to keep their eye on how they rate pitches. It's quite important. "I still can't believe that the World Cup final pitch was rated below average [it was rated average]. A batsman got a hundred there in the final. How can that be a poor pitch? So these are the things the ICC, the match referees, they need to look into and start rating pitches based on what they see, not based on the countries. I think that's quite important. "So I hope they keep their ears open, they keep their eyes open and look into those aspects of the game. Honestly, I'm all for pitches like this. We want to challenge playing on pitches like this. We pride ourselves playing on pitches like this. Uh, but all I want to say is be neutral." Well done Rohit Proud of you

0/6 amazing...

Thanks @silv3rgunn3r kiddo loved building it. This now is in progress.. The size of the tyres..

Sorry for the Late post, thanks @silv3rgunn3r for this awesome lego set. Kid will love to build it while I work on the bigger one!!

I wanted this as showpiece for my collection, last one, let doctor sell kidneys and buy stuff.

Flop phone pencho

Abhinit is your santa based on the gift you got 😋

Or multiple

Screw office, Wear it an all gals meet and go there as a distinguished guest!!

Only problem with Thar is, it's a two seater, the back seats are a torture. In addition to that though the engine is a peach, air noise increases as speeds build up. Thar as a primary car means you will need to do some adjustments in your daily driving ways otherwise it is a good car. From the list you mentioned I like Seltos the most on paper, do take a test drive.

Merry X-mas and Happy new year buddy, glad you liked it and hopefully will get you back to gaming quickly!!

Yes the organiserz corner, right next to Pushpa Balcony.

Those two jokers who sit on auction table year after year, god knows who they are, but should get the award of most incompetent guys award. Average cricket fan can think better then those two baboons. It was the first time last year I did not buy RCB jersey, guess the trend will continue for few more years.

while rcb decided to let go off hazlewood and got some faraziari for 11.5 crores, they splurged on Hasaranga last season, this time they did not want to bid at 1.5 cr also. Retained sarfaraz when no one knew him and today when he is scoring well did not even bid at 20 lacs, these guys smoke some of the best weed in market. They have spent 55 crores on 4 players out of which 3 are overseas. No wonder!! Australians getting so much in IPL is beyond stupidity. While no doubt they command a very good price but 20 and 25 cr is beyond stupidity.

Dont bother buddy, these chocolates are amazing in themselves!! Wish you and your family a happy new year and merry Xmas

what a waste of money

Thank you Hemant aka @silv3rgunn3r The cookies have already been gobbled up, they were absolutely delicious!!

Imagine if it was BKL and VK instead, we would have been 85/2, that is why VK has no place in T20 anymore.

The music Just stays with you long after!!

Saw animal today, it was good fun watch. While I loved the first half, Second half felt like a drag. The BGM is kick a*s and nails it everytime. Won't be able to watch it again but the soundtrack is dope. RK and AK are just amazing. But for me RK in rockstar was still better, this comes very close second. Good 7/10.
