Lord Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 from a chance of inflicting a crushing innings defeat,we now have a position of where aus can think of saving the test. our captain dhoni had a big part in it 1.did not enforce the follow on 2.dropped two crucial catches. 3.when watson came in his first five boundaries were at third man,but the stupid captain did not care to place a men there.zak n ishant suffered the ignominy.watson got settled n punished india afterwards 4.wen lee came mishra was bowling to him & it looked just a matter of time before he fell.but dhoni took the new ball n brought his pacers on. 5.wen the second new ball did not swing n ishant was struggling was watson was clobbering him,dhoni persisted with him.he could have brought on ganguly with a semi new ball just to change things up. clearly dhoni has ensured dont win it easily.god knows wat 'd have happened if we lost the toss n not made such a huge score.we wud have been in deep shyt imo.
donkey Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 our bowlers needed a break they just bowled over 100 overs, also since we dont have to bat last, aussies will be in survival mode defending till the end.

satishg Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 are u nuts or are u trying to get some attention in this board by posting rubbish..i don know how much u know abt cricket but i sure do know that Allan Border knows a helluva lot than you and he was praising every single move of Dhoni.. first of all the pitch is still flat and it was a great performance from our bowlers to have got them out for 268..Dhoni not enforcing the follow on was vindicated by our openers..they had a rollicking start and that shows how good the pitch is..so thats a very good decision.. second before the new ball was taken Amit Mishra was looking a bit flat and Dhoni din let the game drift away by just persisting with him and he was proactive and immediately called his fast bowlers to get the job done and that move almost paid off if not for the fuccking Rudi Koertzen who din give a plumb LBW against Watson, the very first ball of Ishant.. ok all ur other theories just sounds plain stupid as i said either you are trying to grab attention in this board by harping against MSD or u have gone nuts..i hope u are the latter category

DomainK Posted October 19, 2008 Posted October 19, 2008 sachin rox, see a doctor. You have some personal grudge against Dhoni? For the past 2/3 days you have been running a personal campaign against this guy. Get over it man. Stop creating BS threads.

So all in all a very good decision by MSD and thats y ppl call this a BS thread..get it..
