WC11| Where Should Dhoni bat?

[urbestfriend]

As he is a grafter nowadays,I reckon he should bat at #4, as we need someone to provide solidarity in the middle overs and bat overs so that later batters can play aggressive cricket . Gambo #3 and Dhoni #4 should be able to consolidate the start provided by Sehwag and Sachin,so that later batters should play in an aggressive mode. Ideally I bat Raina at #5and Yuvi #6 , Pathan at #7. Of course if first 3 batters provide a solid platform,Raina or Yuvi van be promoted up the order.

[Sachin=GOD]

He should bat at #5.

[urbestfriend]

He should bat at #6.

He is no more the hardhitter he used to be, we can't expect him to come at #6 and play a blinder.

He is no more the hardhitter he used to be' date=' we can't expect him to come at #6 and play a blinder.[/quote'] Oh!! I meant #5 but typed #6 instead. I think we'll have someone like Kohli or Yuvi at #4 and Dhoni at #5 because, as you say, he is no longer the hitter he used to be.

dhoni should come at #4 only if sanchin and gambhir both got out early otherwise he can bat at #6

this' date='dont forget that he is the wicket keeper too and this is a ridiclulously long tournament.[/quote'] agree bt there is enough rest b/w our matches

[vaibhav_delhi]

Dhoni is the pillar of indian middle order. He should bat as a floater whenever the going is the toughest or whenever the team wants to seize the situation.

How about Kirsten telling MSD to forget the role of a grafter and instead go back to his big hitting days. In Sachin, Gambhir and Kohli, there are 3 players who can play the anchor role. All others Sehwag, Dhoni, Yuvi/Yusuf/Raina should be asked to play their natural attacking game. Also I have a feeling we will see Yusuf bat in top 5 in a number of matches especially with the chances of many teams going in with 2 spinners.

i think he cannot play that role anymore,his back problems have limited his shot making ability.
