Is MS Dhoni's T20 time up?

[Sid]

I would try outt anyone out of Ojha or Bisla.They play fearless cricket which I would like to see from Dhoni,he is just building up innings in a format and at a [position where he doesnt need to.

No code has to be inserted here. Ledha player.

[Sean Bradley]

No it isnt.

[cowboysfan]

But till we dont have better options' date=' never[/quote'] you dont get it,he is negatively affecting the outcome by his less than a run a ball batting,he should not play in T20s or should play at 8 or 9..

[Crookbond]

But till we dont have better options' date=' never[/quote'] Dinesh Karthik? Robin Uthappa for crying out loud!

Its not that he can't, its just that he doesn't. I would still rate him our best wicket keeper bat. Can bat well in all situations, just one game where he slipped, although he doesn't have good T20 stats, he is a match winner for us.

[Sehwag1830]

knowing Dhoni's arrogance He will promote himself to no.5 now in every game in this World T20 just to prove that his decision was right. Like he played his lover boy Jadeja in every match in 2009 and 2010 just to prove that his critics were wrong.

OR did not play Ashwin and won the WC?

[veer]

he is a good T20 player.. he just takes whole caution first, save wicket till the end approach bit too seriously.. there were only 3 down and he still used that approach.. he should have let tiwary go before him

Its like he thinks the team will collapse after he goes, looks like the game vs SA in '11 world cup is still haunting him. If he makes up his mind to go from ball 1, we would've probably won it by 18th over

only in IPL

Dhoni: I think they bowled brilliantly and the wicket slowed down a bit. I and Yuvi did find it hard in the middle. Virat gave us a very good start and Raina also batted better. This is a good thing for us ahead of the World Cup. We thought the wicket will stay good till the end, but it slowed down a bit and if it had stayed better we could have performed better. WE are playing too many shot at the start and we need to work on that in the upcoming World Cup lol

[maniac]

He should have been sacked as a captain after the 2010 debacle and as a player should be kept in the scheme of things though Karthik,Rayudu and Uthappa might do better

[Number]

Question his approach not his place. Should change that now.

huuu??? what..??

[GautiMaan]

Dhoni: The wicket slowed down and it was difficult to hit. But we should have won. Virat gave us a very good start. Our worry was how the wicket would behave in the second half. After the 10th or 12th over it got tough. It was good to see the approach in the start of the innings. It's good for us going into the World Cup

Thats the problem,just hit out or get out man after moment of time .And when you sare building a innings,you need to hit odd boundaries along with single,which Kohli was doing in his innings masterfully.Dhoni just doesnt do it,just takes single after single to start with and all pressure on other batsman to hit boundaries in a T20 chase.It was so disappointing he was taking singles and putting pressure Yuvi hit big shots :((. Though today pitch condition ,its slowness,could be a excuse today for not connecting any big shot but this has happen so many times on different tracks on so many occassion,it looks like a norm from him in intl T20S.Frankly speaking absolutely frustrating
