Anyone of them could get a look in ' date='just pissed off at same old batting in T20 cricket from Dhoni.Love to see him play fearless cricket.[/quote'] The point is neither of them have done much to warrant the spot. Ojha has a good opportunity ahead of him, let's see what he does.

[GautiMaan]

Dhoni should just swallow his pride and let Nohit or Tiwary come ahead of him

He'll do that most of the time actually. I guess, today he wanted to take responsibility since Rohit is out of form and Tiwari is still new in international cricket.

No SR in T20 stat. :hmmm:

[Crookbond]

Does not matter - currently I think he needs to do more.

Averages 40 in matches 'won'. Good enough for most people to jump in glee. :giggle:

The point is neither of them have done much to warrant the spot. Ojha has a good opportunity ahead of him' date=' let's see what he does.[/quote'] thats NOT the point,Dhoni is negatively affecting our chances for a win by coming in at 5 or 6 and contributing just a run a ball and putting immense pressure on others.you can basically replace Dhoni with anybody and we will have a better chance of winning.Either he has to change his ODI approach to T20s or he has to be dropped.

You didn't miss much. No one bowled that phaast :giggle:

But match ended phaaster than what Dhoni was thinking. He was trying to take it to 50th over.

[Yoda-esque]

its pretty simple' date='is Dhoni positively affecting our chance for a win in T20s?-a resounding NO. can [b']anybody else do his job better in T20s?-a resounding YES.

u serious?

[maniac]

S/R and Number of notouts will givea cleare picture of Dhoni's stats...beleive me I have seen him ensure notouts in games where the match is in cruise control Obviously no matter how dissapointed we are we cannot say by any means that Dhoni has f****d up matches for us in T20I's but if people accuse some of our seniors of being selfish and playing for numbers,I can guarantee that we will find a more obvious pattern in Dhoni's game

:hysterical: He didn't do that badly from that POV. He could have finished it in the 21st over itself :dontknow:

Waits till the last over to finish the matches. Got lucky a few times last year during the Tri-Series in Australia. What he needs to do is start hitting from the get go and not plod around.

But he'll drop a regulation catch in every 2 matches.

[cowboysfan]

u serious?

Absolutely.what does Dhoni provide for in T20?.a run a ball 20-30 runs which is not good enough for the no 5 or 6 spot especially if we are chasing.any captain will be happy to concede 20-30 at a run a ball in a tight chase in t20s.

[ganeshran]

He takes some time to get going and then accelarates at the end. While there is time to do that in ODIs, T20s can be lost just by two slow overs. I'd rather he bats the same way he does in ODIs and drop down the order in T20.
