He should have turned him down. You can say "NO"
Not a very smart comment. It was the batsman's call and you have to trust and run, there was no way the run-out was his fault
As I said what's the point in specialising in "so near and yet so far". He comes in' date=' does the hard yards and when we become favorites he departs leaving us in the lurch. I wish we had a Dhoni like player in u-19s who would finish off the match.[/quote'] Actually this mentality of blaming the player who performed is the very reason why we were so cr@p throughout the 90s in chasing. People used to blame the batsmen who actually scored and the 'finishers' had no accountabilty. Batsmen who scored a 100 was blamed not the lower order. Your example of Dhoni actually goes against you, as Dhoni does not wait for Gambhir or Sehwag to finish the job after they score big, he takes the responsibity on himself as a lower order batsman. Even in the world cup final despite Gambhir scoring big, Dhoni had to finish. If Dhoni had failed would ypu blame him or Gambhir? Surely Gambhir did his job and Dhoni his. This Indian mentality of blaming the batsman who scored is the worst possible thing ever because it absolves the batsmen who fail and they have a free-ride
