He may not be as good as he used to be, but he is good. Very good. I would rely him to manufacture a match win, making best or resources and situation then any other player. this performance was not earth shattering enough for us to say he is back. Is he back to his best ? no , can ind depend upon him to win matches ? no Kudos to his knock in last two matches but he was not the reason Ind won those matches instead he relied on others to stay at par with RRR. I would have been over the moon had Dhoni played differently to what he had been doing over the last 2-3 years but he was the same. I have always maintained runs scoring will never be a problem with MSD, but the way he gets is. He still has that partnership building ability intact but the way completely shuts shop sometimes will be highlighted even more when others fail and we chase a relatively high score. TBH what he has done in this series is expected out of any good batsman. Dhoni has been a ODI Legend, he was master at percentage cricket. But Indian cricket has so mich bigger depth and players can easily replace him if given a chance. Obviously he is playing till the WC now, we have to hope he keeps up the consistency and stroke players do their job. nikred, velu, Turning_track and 6 others 2 2 5 Link to comment
speedheat Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 With that gone are the chances of wc 2019. Opposition won't feed siddle behdroff Lyon to him in the WC, there will be starc Cummins and haz waiting to pounce. An illusion has been created.

Among all the bats who come after Kohli in current lineup, I am very clear, MSD is most reliable to win us a game. Either Kohli, drops them or I will stick with MSD. velu, Laaloo, UrmiSinhaRay and 1 other 1 2 1 Link to comment
prasen82 Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 If you listened to the commentary the Aussies were mentioning about flat tracks and 350 par scores in England and why the current batting order will not help and once Steve Smith comes back, there is not a spot for handscomb as they need to get bigger hitters. I think we can have this combination only if we play both our spinners and hope they don't have a bad day in office and opposition is restricted to less than 290. Dhoni is doing a good job but needs to finish at s/r of 90 if he plays 50 balls. Cannot be at s/r of 70 and hope to reach 80 when he plays 80 balls and 100 beyond that . If score of 330 is par in wC then it means the rest will need to bat at s/r of 200 to make up for their slow starts . If both Rohit and dhoni have starts but get out before they can accelerate, we are doomed . I think we need both Gill and pant in WC squad and hope dhoni can bat at s/r of 85 . diehardpacer and Samcric 2 Link to comment

Yoda-esque Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 Dhonis MO now relys on somebody else hitting at a SR> 100. A weak Aussie gteam has masked this problem. Link to comment
