DomainK Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 You need a cool brain to do that. Just outstanding.:two_thumbs_up: You usually hurry into a run out. It was Shulka's mistake and partly that of Sharma as well. But Dhoni was very clever. Street smart cricketer.
f.b.m Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Video? Anyone? I missed this one because all the sopcast links seem to be crap.
h4te Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 that was amazing. i was wondering what was going on. very smart!
DomainK Posted April 26, 2008 Author Posted April 26, 2008 that was amazing. i was wondering what was going on. very smart! Yeah, in the beginning even I thought it was Jogi's dumbness to keep standing like that. But then I realized where it was coming from.
DomainK Posted April 26, 2008 Author Posted April 26, 2008 Cricinfo coulnt have make it sound anymore confusing- Joginder Sharma to Shukla' date=' OUT, that's gone and what fine thinking by the fielders, Shukla can't do much with the yorker and Ishant wants a single, Dhoni throws the ball back to Joginder but the bowler doesn't take the bails off immediately, Ishant is walking back to the pavilion and Shukla is outside the crease when Dhoni signals to Joginder to take the bails off. At the point when the bowler did that, Shukla was out and Ishant in.[/quote']
theguyinallblue Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Jogia was not waiting for Ishant to cross the crease...He is just dumb as$... Its Dhoni who egged him to run out...and PaPA actually dragged his hand..and did the run out..
flamy Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 I think the ICEMAN had a role in it too...but Dhoni IS sharp, we all knew that. But for true cricketing brilliance... [ame= - Cricket - Two runout in one ball[/ame]
theguyinallblue Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Its the Clash of the captains.... and Dhoni is the clear WINNER.. Make way Ganguly....you are done and dusted...
theguyinallblue Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Just because 2 balls were remaining...it becomes cheap? what if LAxmi was an opener? and Laxmi is no slouch with bat.he could have hit 2 sixes.. so clearly Dhoni saved 12 possible runs for his team...
Guest HariSampath Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 That was brilliant thinking, because Dhoni saw that Ishant was on his way back, and the ball is not dead till the stumps are broken, Jogi waited till ishant crossed Shukla and then broke the stumps ! Go Dhoni...VVS, Ganguly et al...sign up for captaincy classes under Dhoni
ludhianvi Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 I think it was actually one of the other fielders at the bowler's end that was first to realize that. Dhoni just followed that. Jogi is legend :D
Guest HariSampath Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Shukla playing 2 balls extra ( he was at the strikers end ) could have meant 8-12 runs...which may be the diff in a t20 match...THATS why Dhoni is a champs captain....AND thats why CSK rock !!
Sachinism Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 dhoni didnt really need to do that, KKR score was well under par anyway could have been a good sportsman and left it
Desi Cartman Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 dhoni didnt really need to do that, KKR score was well under par anyway could have been a good sportsman and left it :dito: especially since Laxmi only stepped out to have a word with I sharma
ludhianvi Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 Stop giving credit to Dhoni:D It was raina at the non-striker's end to point that the batsmen had crossed Atleast, that's the way I saw it
Guest HariSampath Posted April 26, 2008 Posted April 26, 2008 dhoni didnt really need to do that, KKR score was well under par anyway could have been a good sportsman and left it Nothing "unsporting" about that...and Dhoni was being a thorough professional. He saw that the batter ( Shukla) was out of his crease and that Ishant will cross him, so naturally why would he give Shukla batting on 42 to play 2 more balls and possibly strike a couple of 4s ???? Because 147 was not a high score ?? Nonsense ! what if Chennai had collapsed later and needed 20 off the last over with 2 wkts in hand..see how much 10 runs can make a diff ? If two batters are stranded in the middle, doesnt the lesser batter always sacrifice his wkt for the well set main batter ? Thats strategy and smart thinking...so fielding side will try to get the well set batter out. Simple as that. That is the difference between just winning teams, and Champions approach. Every minor detail given maximum attention, because they all count in the final result. And everyone knows now why Dhoni is a thorougly professional winning captain. Zakhmi 1
