Rohit\u2019s move of opening the batting for the first time in the series backfired when he played a one-leg half-hearted pull off Cummins, and the top-edge was easily caught by mid-on to be out for three in the second over.

\"That is just a lazy, not switched on, not up for the moment type of shot. He has been known as one of the best hookers and pullers of the ball since he made his debut, but that is just not there, it is nothing. It is not committed. It is not looking to be aggressive. He is just looking to tap it on the head.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Might have held in the wicket, yes, might have seamed away from him a fraction, but if you are going to survive against this Australian attack you have to be switched on and making good decisions. If you are not, they will knock you over every time,\" said Ponting on Channel Seven.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Similar criticism for Rohit\u2019s choice of shot came from former Australia cricketer Darren Lehmann. \"If he's going to hit it, hit it Rohit. You're a class player, you should actually take that on. Plenty of room in the outfield, take it on,\" he said on ABC Sport.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
