Is MS Dhoni's T20 time up?

[Laaloo]

He did that during the ODI series in Australia also. Got lucky a few times but that is not a good approach. You cannot leave everything to the last over you dimwit

[Executioner]

I think it was just ridiculous approach above anything else

[putrevus]

Is this guy on drugs Dhoni :We are playing too many shots at the start and we need to work on that in the upcoming World Cup, Wtf are you talking you idiot , everyone doing fine except you and you needed to play shots not the fricking tuk tuk you did. I and Yuvi did find it hard in the middle. Virat gave us a very good start and Raina also batted better. You found it hard not him in the middle and you screwed up his innings too. 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 Wicket was fine you maniac, you did not know how to play on it. Naach ne janne agaan teda Has this guy ever owned for his faults he always finds something else is wrong instead of blaming himself.

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' date=' but it slowed down a bit and if it had stayed better we could have performed better. [b']WE are playing too many shot at the start and we need to work on that in the upcoming World Cup

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

Two entirely different versions. Which one should we believe? :dontknow:

[Sid]

Thats means overall he is saying ,even before fecking up the game while batting,he had fecked it up by deciding to chase on this pitch.

I got in from cricinfo,laloo specify source:orderorder:

[veer]

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

I hope there is someone in the dressing room or somewhere to tell him this.. most of the players in T20 team are juniors to him.. veeru/zak/gauti are not the kind who will tell him.. coach is only there to complete his tenure..

8 not-outs :hail:

[Magneto]

I would try outt anyone out of Ojha or Bisla.They play fearless cricket which I would like to see from Dhoni' date='he is just building up innings in a format and at a [position where he doesnt need to.[/quote'] Let's see what Ojha does in the A tour. And Bisla still needs to prove that he's more than a one-hit wonder.

[Trundler27]

This rascal won the toss and elected to 'field first'... so why is he complaining about being worried how the pitch would behave in the second half? j e r k

[veer]

8 not-outs :hail:

n two run outs

[putrevus]

Why does Dhoni almost every time promotes himself when top order gives good starts but never does when it collapses. What was the point of him coming in front of two batsmen.

[Sid]

Let's see what Ojha does in the A tour. And Bisla still needs to prove that he's more than a one-hit wonder.

Anyone of them could get a look in ,just pissed off at same old batting in T20 cricket from Dhoni.Love to see him play fearless cricket.

[putrevus]

anyone of them is better than Dhoni is T-20s, this guy has done nothing in T-20s to merit a place in the team.

[Crookbond]

I got in from cricinfo' date='laloo specify source:orderorder:[/quote'] The best way to settle this now is to watch the video and decide. I am more inclined to believe Cricinfo version than Cricbuzz, personal choice.

[maniac]

Yeah right ball was not coming on to the bat...maybe it should have started swinging and seaming...then we would have seen him swinging his bat at everything to show how he is a counter-attacking player

[rkt.india]

We need 39 in 5 overs jab loght gayi..light aayi to 1 run se match haar gaye. DHONI :wall:

[cowboysfan]

anyone of them is better than Dhoni is T-20s' date=' this guy has done nothing in T-20s to merit a place in the team.[/quote'] its pretty simple,is Dhoni positively affecting our chance for a win in T20s?-a resounding NO. can anybody else do his job better in T20s?-a resounding YES.

[maniac]

its pretty simple' date='is Dhoni positively affecting our chance for a win in T20s?-a resounding NO. can anybody else do his job better in T20s?-a resounding YES.[/quote'] Infact having some one like Saha or anyother WK won't be a bad idea that way atleast the 'real' batsmen can go up the order Dhoni as a wk batsman is still good but I think he buys into his whole reputation now
