The Batsman Formely Known as Mahendra Dhoni

[The Realist]

Dhoni looks out of sorts currently in tests. Looks ugly when batting and does not have the technique to play long innings and at least occupy the crease. Also he does not even score quickly thesedays. In 2010 he has just over 450 runs and averages 38. If you compare his ODI form to tests it is almost like if there is an imposter playing in the latter. In ODIs he thrives on pressure situations and often leads the run chases anchoring the innings. The opposite is true in tests as he shirks under the pressure goes into his shell scoring few runs and then inevitably gets out. With the absence of a true all-rounder we cannot afford Dhoni carrying on as he is, bearing in the mind the long tail that India also has. Obviously Dhoni won't be dropped but the team cannot go on carrying Dhoni. Not sure how we get back the aggressive shot playing Dhoni as the current version based on batting form does not deserve to be in the team.

Is going through a bit of a rough patch. Was working hard till he got out today. Will turn it around soon.

Failure was not an option for Sourav Ganguly when he has ultimately dropped. Failure will not be an option for Dhoni too. But both batsmen have a tendency to bounce back when humiliated and written off.

Looks like he is going the Sourav Ganguly way a Liability as a batsman for the team.

Not again. A batsman just can not lose form in India, can he? It's a normal thing. Every effin batsman in the world goes through a loss of form a few times in a career. Dhoni never had the technique to look good, but he is a good batsman. How many more threads will we have calling for his head? :wall:

[diegovegaz]

he should resume playing his trademark shots batting in a shell will do him no good start attacking again

Saw his dismissal, could be seen as slightly unlucky, maybe he was trying too hard to get behind and on top of the ball. But he needs to play a useful innings some time soon.

Since he got married his batting has been awful i think its sakshi who came to watch the match she is a panoti

What a moronic comment!! Why do you have to drag his family into this? Does your boss/teacher/professor blame your parents/family members for your failures?

They used to say something about laxy and veeru after marriage when they went through a rough patch after. Those people who said that were dumb at the time as well

This thread seems to be infected by the t-virus. I am going for the anti-virus as I am already starting to feel a little stupider after reading some of the posts.
