He said tujhe jaisa bhi lagta hai, woh daal (bowl the way you want to). I was very happy that he backed me,” Yadav said after the match where he became only the third Indian to strike at hat-trick in ODIs. + "he reads the batsman easily" I really wonder then what happened to our Test team overseas from 2011 England tour onwards. Did Dhoni all of a sudden stop doing 50% of the work? Also, why only 50% of the work for spinners? Why not for fast bowlers also? If guys like Umesh couldn't do the rest of the 50% of the work, assuming Dhoni did his usual 50%, why was he picking them in the team in the first place? Would appreciate it if a kind soul would be willing to volunteer to answer my questions? Laaloo and Unstable Joe 2 Link to comment

velu Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 1 hour ago, jalebi_bhai said: Or T20 WC 2016 SF 68 runs conceded in 6 overs by our spinners. Using '50% of the spinners work' formula, that would be 34 runs in 3 overs at 11.34, which is what Dhoni was responsible for. Did Dhoni cost us the WC semifinal ? 68 in 6 overs > 136 in 6 overs Link to comment

Deleted_User_1 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Shastri should do some chuski to coax Dhoni to get back to the test team for the England tour. In all seriousness, this guy Kuldeep should be on the tour and playing if we have one spinner in the team. Ashwin has been disappointing lately. Link to comment

In Tests, he dropped out of college in the middle of an exam he was failing . In Tests, Dhoni was like those kids in college who start out really well in their first two semesters, then they end up becoming friends with some lafangas in their second-third year who end up spoiling them and their academic record.

Then Dhoni's economy rate is still 11.333 Link to comment

LOIs or Tests - Doesn't he play everything the same way? lol Atleast thats what ICF experts keep on saying. For test matches, he had to shield the team from away losses and then leave the fruits for the apprentice. He was the hero India deserved, but not the one it needed then. So we let him go. Because he can take it. Because he is not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark Knight. P.S Sorry could not let this chance go.

That's like 1.90 GPA, on the verge of probation. It's not how you start, it's how you finish that matters. Link to comment
