Vilander Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Dhoni does not have a special weakness against short stuff or moving ball. He scored a 90 odd in seaming track in SA last year, he scored well in ODI's as well there. He failed in Eng and Aus, but did better than everyone other than Dravid in Eng. I dont think he has a specific problem against pace bowling, he just does what best he can with his limited technique.
Vilander Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 I know he had problems against short ball but he still scored runs on pitches against better bowlers ' date='Dhoni seems at sea on helpful conditions.Also his fc average of 45 is very good considering the [b']standards then. standards were lower.
CG Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 standards were lower. You did not watch cricket in 90s then.
thongale Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 standards were lower.BS. Standards were same if not little higher in late 90s than today.

He has an okayish in SA in tests. Infact he averages more than Dravid there!! that does not make him a better player than RD by any stretch of imagination. He almost saved us the Durban test in 2006 where he scored some 40 odd with the tail by hitting 10 4's. The place where he has struggled big time in tests is Oz. But, I don't know what to say when you compare Ramdin with him.
MIMI Posted June 23, 2012 Posted June 23, 2012 Bevan is a world class finisher he has won many matches for Australia single handedly under different conditions.DHONI has a long way to go he has finished few matches for India for 2 years or so.He has done it many times for CSK but not for India

Pls check out one of the earlier posts in the thread listing Dhoni's match-winning performances and plenty of those performances came in mid 2000s, and not since 2010 which you are stating.

Precambrian Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Really? Dhoni is ok against bounce but not against the moving ball. Nobody in the worls is absolutely brilliant against the moving ball...
Marut Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Nobody in the worls is absolutely brilliant against the moving ball... Is Dhoni one of the better players of the moving ball? No.
Sidhoni Posted June 24, 2012 Posted June 24, 2012 Bevan is a world class finisher he has won many matches for Australia single handedly under different conditions.DHONI has a long way to go he has finished few matches for India for 2 years or so.He has done it many times for CSK but not for India :cantstop: Just check out the countless no. of matches MSD has finished for us especially in the Indo-Pak bilateral tourneys and also against other teams when he was relatively new in the team i.e. 2005-06.
Vilander Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Is Dhoni one of the better players of the moving ball? No. whats your point ? he is not the worst player also, he manages ok, and is brilliant in conditions that do not aid lateral movement. So he is better than bevan.
Vilander Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 BS. Standards were same if not little higher in late 90s than today. BS. standards were lower.
