Read up the Jadeja thread where Lord(?) was arguing about how Jadeja delivered on the flat pitches of Chennai and Hyderabad.
Then he was wrong. Hyderabad could be called a bit flat. Same with Mohali. Chennai and Delhi no way.

I agree. For what it's worth I would rate Dhoni's innings above Prior, but was pointing out the inconsistencies about how the description of the pitch changes depending on the argument.

England set up is so idiotic, how can they leave Prior out of ODI and T-20 team.This guy should be automatic choice for all formats. He has shown he can bludgeon any attack.Our great coach overlooked this guy and Swann.
Check his ODI record first. He has played enough ODIs, has opened most of the time, 68 matches runs 1282, average 24, 3 50s. So, there is no evidence he will do well in ODIs. Even his list A record is mediocre.

Same Dhoni did not even bat at Napier' date=' so what's the relevance of bringing same Dhoni's name here? Was same Dhoni responsible for the manner in which Gambhir, Dravid, Tendulkar, and Laxman batted?[/quote'] Read what the posted said..I am not talking about whether Dhoni batted or not and not even giving credit to him, but just saying our side with Dhoni has already done that and played even more overs to draw the match and if you want to compare team we have right now to this England team then you are free to do it like the poster above did. Remember Ian Bell played more important and bigger inning than Prior in the context of the match. Runs were not important but time and Bell did that. Prior is talked about so much because he played 182 balls out of 858 balls England. It shows how flat was the track that England cumulatively played about 150 overs.

Dhoni is the best in ODI's. Only men at present who compete with him are Amla, ABDV. Tests Prior is better. One of the best test bastmen in the world. In t20's Dhoni is better than Prior. Though I think Brendan Mccullum is better than them both in batting and keeping in t20's.

Prior in tests is kind of like Dhoni in ODIs - a WK batsman who pulls his team out of ****. That being said, Dhoni has started playing some of those rescue knocks in tests this home season that he plays in ODIs. NZ Bangalore, England Nagpur, Oz Chennai. Yes they are at home but still they came in tough situations. The Chennai one not so much but we would have lost the Bangalore and Nagpur tests w/o his contributions.

We might have lost Chennai match too if not for his 224 and 100 partnership with BK which gave us a lead of 192. Imagine chasing 200 on that pitch in 4ht innings if we did not have that lead thanks to that record 9th wicket stand.
