But Dhoni's runs are cheaps while others scored when runs were needed or conditions were tough to bat :giggle: Maybe cricinfo should have a "cheap runs" filter to exclude all teh runs scored by Dhoni :haha:

LOL! Now NZ is supposed to be a top ranked team and clubbed together with Australia, South Africa, and England. Here is the reality: And if you are including NZ, why leave out WI. Another reality check for fan boys: http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/stats/index.html?class=1;filter=advanced;home_or_away=2;home_or_away=3;host=1;host=2;host=3;host=4;host=5;keeper=1;orderby=batting_average;spanmax1=03+Sep+2012;spanmin1=03+Sep+2008;spanval1=span;template=results;type=batting

If we include WI No code has to be inserted here. No code has to be inserted here. Last 2 columns show Dhoni's avg after that many matches. Not defending Dhoni here though.

Quote the post if you need it. Like I said earlier in my post, I don't want to defend Dhoni here. I won't mind if selectors drop him for right reasons or strip the captaincy from him. Feel free to correct my replies in case of any mistake.

It's not my criteria. It's the criteria Dhoni fan boys came up with to prove he is such a great batsman outside the subcontinent. I just made it more rational. :giggle:

WOW...Thanks for sharing this... Appropriate Stats... this is awesome

[Crookbond]

Please sort the tables by relevant columns like batting averages or runs scored. It makes it pretty hard to make sense out of them otherwise.

[Chaos]

[Crookbond]

^ The last time we put up "better" keepers than Dhoni both of them performed horrendously both behind the stumps and with the bat.

Really? I remember everyone praising Saha at Adeliade.

I have posted those stats already in #46.

I am sure there have been plenty of instances when Dhoni has been praised as well, but maybe you missed watching those games as Dhoni was busy filling his boots with cheap runs :winky:

I was alluding to SL Test series 2008. Do you think Saha is a better bet than Dhoni currently?

Ok ..replace Dhoni but with whom ?:giggle: No matter what one says, Dhoni is the best available choice

He is a much better keeper than Dhoni. His batting at places like South Africa, England, and Australia will be marginally worse maybe. On pattas, Dhoni is much better and can even be played as a specialist batsman ahead of the likes of Raina and Badrinath.
