New Zealand Tour of India 2012

[The Dark Horse]

Please dont start threads. All your threads haunt us for eternity

Well but we're playing at home just 103 more to win Raina & Kohli in, Dhoni & Ashwin still to come This is still going to be a stroll in the park for us

You have no idea about KT's power

[Sidhoni]

Hatsoff Kohli and Dhoni! Brilliant p'ship!

[Crookbond]

Once again Dhoni shows why he is "Captain Cool"

[asterix]

:hatsoff: to both.. Superb batting in both innings..

[Trichromatic]

Dhoni has been criticized a lot on this forum for his weaknesses. This was almost perfect series for him. He batted well in all 3 innings and played crucial knocks. His partnership with Kohli was great batting under pressure. It doesn't matter whether these were cheap runs or easy wins, he performed like a leader and full credit to him for this series win.

India of the old would have capitulated here...(Laxman excepted)

Kudos however, I don't think Dhoni is an accomplished test bat. Maybe because of his improper defence or poor performances in the last 11 matches, but I dont feel Dhoni can succeed over a longer term as a test batsman. If his keeping was brilliant, we can excuse below par batting skills, ala Healy but that isnt the case.

He averages more than any other Indian wk and is one of the best ever wks in terms of batting average. I think we expect too much out of him, we should remember the fact that he is not a specialist bat.

[Crookbond]

Probably next time Dhoni should run out 4-5 partners and then get India through - that should satisfy everyone

[Texy]

Dhoni is God in home conditions.....brilliant batting with Virat...my heart was in my mouth when Raina got out

[Sidhoni]

:aha:

[Sidhoni]

Dhoni averaged 91.5 in this series, second to only Virat. :hatsoff:

[Gambit]

Calm down. It's only New Zealand. Hopefully, the bigger fish to come will be fried by them.

[Sidhoni]

Those who were complaining that MS does not score when required can just look at today's innings. Brilliant innings under pressure! :hatsoff:

That was a selfish display where he scored cheap runs when all the hard work was already done. His show-off at the end made this win seem hollow and we may as well have lost. Dhoni needs to go. Enough already :hitler:

[Hell Raiser]

The way our batsmen have played against Nz fast bowlers, thank god this series was in India and not in NZ otherwise we would have been on the receiving end of another white wash.

[Hell Raiser]

Well played. Match winning partnership.

Enough already from you man. All of us know you are being sarcastic.
