But it would ruin his confidence :whine:

that comment was about BK on that Chennai pitch. Ishant should not have been in the team in first place.

[India-KXIP fan]

Bhaji is back! And so is Ashwin... to his normal self :facepalm:

[Dumbbells]

Woah!..237-9 declared...hats off clarke. Hope dhoni learns frm clarke.

[Trichromatic]

Hope dhoni learns frm clarke.

Not gonna happen.

[Sidhoni]

Is this the lowest score to have declared on? In the first innings ofc. Good thinking by Clarke given the quality of our openers.

[Needforspeed]

If Aussies dont get any wicket tonight, Clarke will look stupid.

[vvvslaxman]

Jaddu trolls everyone

Bhuvaneswar is the best. They are good against pace. He rocked them back. ON a pitch with up and down bounce spinners dominating this Aussies is not really an outlandish thought.

[Robelinda]

still, good to keep the opposition guessing, might make a difference to Dhoni's thinking in a different match situation in the series. He KNOWS Clarke will not want to let a game be a draw etc, so he knows Aus will come at them.

[Sidhoni]

How can Dhoni do this? He doesn't have Pattinson/Siddle. Nor do Australia have Vijay/Sehwag.

:omg:

[skindia]

what can dhoni learn from clarke...clarke playing mindgames..dhoni knows more.

[b555]

If we lose a wicket here, we will look stupid, not the aussies looking stupid if they dont get a wicket

[b555]

Sidhoni, yes it happens :D

[India-KXIP fan]

If Aussies dont get any wicket tonight' date=' Clarke will look stupid.[/quote'] This! Doherty and Pattinson can bat a little, not the worst tailenders and could have gotten another 20 runs. Doherty has 2 FC 50's and Pattinson has 1 century at club level. 20 runs is much more valuable than 3 overs which will definitely not get any wickets lol. Even Psychologically 250 gives your players more confidence.

Bhaji is back! And so is Ashwin... to his normal self :facepalm:

Bhajji took one extra wicket over Ashwin. That too a tallenders wicket and Ashwin didnt even get a chance to bowl to tailenders. If I were you I would be a bit more cautious about declaring victory yet in this match. Ashwin bowled pretty good too BTW , if Bhajji's return if taking a 2-fer he should still be replaced by Ojha, 2-fers are not gonna win you matches

[Crookbond]

The lowest should be 0 in the infamous South Africa-England Test match at Centurion.

[Trichromatic]

Only once a team has lost the match after declaring for such a low score :beee:

[Dumbbells]

How can Dhoni do this? He doesn't have Pattinson/Siddle. Nor do Australia have Vijay/Sehwag.

so u r saying dhoni would do something like this if we had umesh or varun.
