Marco Polo Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 India won the test match, Alright. What's Dhoni's contribution in this win? I would give credit to him for backing Ishant sharma and asking him to bowl short pitch deliveries. But other than that, Can some Dhoni's die hard fan explain , in which way Dhoni contributed to this win??? Batting? Keeping? or inspired selection of Binny? Link to comment
maniac Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Apparently he asked ishant to bowl short....so not crediting him here for the strategy as it wasn't path breaking but to confirm to all indian fans that we have a non existent bowling coach he should be given credit Link to comment
vvvslaxman Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Dropped Balance, then lot of byes, Dropped another catch as well if i am right in the 2nd innings. Poor batting at crucial time. Link to comment
velu Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Is it necessary that everyone should contribute for a win ?? There will be good days and there will be bad days.. And this is applicable not only to Dhoni. Link to comment
velu Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 he kept 3 fielders at leg for pull shot and forced ishanth to bowl short , dont think batsmen can keep leaving those .. it was more of a desperate attempt which paid , in normal circumstances dhoni will never ever do this.. i am sure he wont attack again in the future like this if we are in a 70:30 position TBF after that expensive over which leaked 3 boundaries , i closed the stream ( and was worried abt how to counter MTC , which i am sure he would have made it as a murder j/k :P ) Link to comment

And this is applicable not only to Dhoni. Well, The problem is there has been absolutely no contribution from Captain cool for years now irrespective of the results. Even in this win, his contribution was almost nothing. Link to comment

Credit to Ishant for maintaining decent pace while doing that. Also i think England took it too personally showing impatience. If they had played 2 more overs that experiment would have ended lol I guess that was a scatter brain thinking from all those who played the shots in the air without even trying to keep it down.

Yoda-esque Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Well' date=' The problem is there has been absolutely no contribution from Captain cool [b']for years now. Even in this win, his contribution was almost nothing. It's ok.He has indicated he might not play much more. Enjoy this win for now. Even the Fab 4 or Famous 5 or whatever they were called could not conjure up a Lords win. Link to comment
