Poke and dab, lol

that’s all Dhoni being doing in international cricket last 3 years

[Nikhil_cric]

can't bale Hardik. he's a seam bowling allrounder who needs to focus on his bowling. Not build an innings. His job is to cowlash at the end. Meanwhile dhoni with a strike rate of 50 odd 

[speedheat]

Shameless dhoni consumed pandyas wicket

this is reminding me off pakistan during Misbah days.....Misbah stays and instructs other batsmen to hit out while he defends so that wickets don't fall...other batsmen get out...misbah starts hitting when tailenders come in...total team score 220 odd runs lol

Misbah was no great ODI bat but I feel people compare him to current Dhoni without taking context into the equation.

Whenever Misbah used to come to the crease, the scorecard would be 20-3 or 30-3 with brainless middle order batsmen like Akmal, Maqsood, etc.

 

Moreover, in Misbah's period, pitches wasn't this bad (post 2015 WC, pitches world over have become even worse). Plus Pakistan could defend 250 score because they had 3 spinners (Ajmal, Hafeez, Afridi - albeit 2 of them chuckers) and a couple of pacers doing well. So Misbah's slow approach wasn't as hopeless as Dhoni's approach.

 

This isn't to say Misbah would have scored at 90 SR had Pakistan had better batters but atleast for his time, his approach wasn't as hopelessly bad as Dhoni's is for India in recent times.

Bhuvi plays well with dhoni.

Guy can't even defeat Dhawan's son in wrestling. Kya karega wo

[RAZPOR]

We are playing like minnows,team composition is all wrong all batsmen batting at the wrong spot and to compound the problem we left out Rahul,because you know that's how Kohli and bewda all problems in life. * this team 

[Nikhil_cric]

this shows why we need Pant instead of a TTf like DK or a has been like Dhoni. fast track him and let him learn on the job. Get some fresh legs in this old team.

Another gem from cricinfo Guru: "MSD is the only bankable batsman in the country who can play with tailenders. That is why his role is very important in WC2019." Well, we might be about to find out how true that still is"
