Dhoni didn't want to get exposed. Made up a ludicrous nrr explanation.

kohli was asked question, not dhoni. NRR is not for India, but to make sure Pakistani don't qualify, just like Steve waugh did to NZ

I doubt ,Indian team care whether Pakistan qualifies or not .Its Pakistani team is to blame for their piss poor performance in WC till last three match  and not winning required number of  matches .They need to blame themselves instead of blaming others .

Lol. Pakistan is not out still. This match has zero effects on Pakistans qualification. Just like India they now need to support NZ winning against Eng. Nothing much. You are running out of excuses buddy.

Pakistani have no chance of qualifying. they need to beat Bangladesh by considerable margin, which is not possible.

This thread seems to be the most plausible explanation.

if England wins ..Pakistan has no chance whatsoever waise bhi (They have crappy NRR to beat NZ one )..So ,their only chance is make England lose lol

Dhoni should say "I can't finish anymore, I don't have the ability" and retire. But no, he'll say "I purposely decided to not win because I am a modern day Aryabhatta I assessed through 1000000 monte carlo simulations in my head that India can't win from this point so I decided to minimise NRR loss"

you have to account for all possibilities. NZ may beat England comprehensively and Pakistani win the same way lol

1) just because that guy tweeted ,you happen to believe it ?

What did Steve Waugh do to nzl ?

 

2) how will NRR help keeping Pakistan out ??

Pakistan have to win against Bangladesh and hope England lose to nzl or other way England beat nzl by a huge margin and they beat bang badly .So where does today's game NRR fit in the scheme of things ??

Are you saying India would lose to both srl and bang hence they are keeping the RR strong ?

If that's the case, it's better if we are knocked out in the GS itself .
