Cricketics Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 7 hours ago, rkt.india said: Dhoni is the main reason for this loss, dont be in denial. No doubt he is, but so are other bats who could not score more than 20 odd runs when team needed. Dhoni put pressure on other bats by playing slow but others failed too at the same time under pressure. sscomp32 1 Link to comment

It was also Dhoni's slowest fifty, beating the 88 balls he took to get there against Pakistan at Eden Gardens in 2013. Dhoni's crawling innings came to end when India required 14 off seven balls. Slowest in 16 years Batsman 0s 4s 6s Runs Balls SR MS Dhoni 44 0 0 24 65 36.92 Ajinkya Rahane 18 0 0 14 31 45.16 Kedar Jadhav 8 0 0 10 14 71.42 Hardik Pandya 8 1 0 5 10 50.00 Things are really bad when Rahane manages to score faster than you in the middle overs. 44 dots and some of those dots against a part timer like Nurse was bowling.

And best of all, 104 balls for his first boundary. In this day and age, it takes special skills to play like that. Brave and fighting knock gone in vain Reveal hidden contents P.S. I could have posted this in another one of dhoni threads, but since I am an attention seeker and I have some agenda against Dhoni, I had to create another thread. test comeback on the cards sscomp32 and Laaloo 2 Link to comment

Laaloo Posted July 9, 2017 Author Share Posted July 9, 2017 Too bad he didn't get to bat more today. Could have reached a competitive score of 160 had he batted through the innings. And let's hope the two missed stumpings was just an off day for the best wk today. asterix 1 Link to comment

If you can celebrate your B'day in this exotic tour, even better... All other things don't matter... Laaloo 1 Link to comment
