Dhoni bowling is a disgrace

[Lord]

He had 5 front line bowlers and could have rotated him in a way so that Yadav didn't have to bowl at death. There was hardly ant need to bring himself on. When batting is easy' date=' he promoted himself. Now he is doing same thing, even with bowling.[/quote'] I think he thought it wasnt gonna spin and Ashwin may be smashed so thought of completing his overs in hindsight maybe it wasnt needed,but then it didnt look such a bad move,specially when he nearly had MJ lbw

[flamy]

I thought it was cool. Total pwnage of the lankans. Give them some extra runs for our batters to cash in later. I dunno what's the hoopla here? :dontknow:

[carnish]

I hoped Dhoni would have bowled full 10 overs so that Lankans would have got enough runs and hence VK could have had another ODI 100

[Aaku]

:nono:

Dhoni bowling was unprofessional. He needs to be disciplined for his stupidity.

[fineleg]

This thread is a disgrace. 4-0-17-0 /thread

[SLICKR392]

What a lame thread. :facepalm: Almost all bowlers were nearing their quota and we don't have the 4th pacer to bowl on that wicket and he bowled way, way, way better than Kohli. And you come at us on having a go at Kohli. That guy bowls filth and not a single thread. :headshake: Delusive much?

[EnterTheVoid]

Another feather in the cap for this delusional ****ing idiot.

[philcric]

People can agree/disagree with Dhoni's decision to bowl a few overs but disgrace, selfish, brand value ?? :WTF: Dhoni's bowling is at least on par with Kohli's, and Kohli bowled few overs in the previous matches, and nobody thought that was 'disgraceful'.

how abt raina? most of the games he will be behind the wkts. If i was the coach i would bench him for the next game.

For fielding alone he would walk into our side. Energizes the whole unit on the field.

Had we lost the game by 10-15 runs MSD would have got a lot of stick for this stunt.

[sherpatenzig]

Pulled the same stunt against england last time and let off whatever pressure they were under. That was the turning point of the series.

[velu]

wen Dhoni bowls and fails next time , KT will bump this :cantstop:

yeah.. he is an asset in ODI outfit.

[Muloghonto]

we are seriously having issues with a part timer getting 4-0-17-0 in a match ? Where he conceded 4.25 rpo, while the SL innnings aggregate RR was 3.62 ? He almost got a breakthrough too, while keeping the runs down. Seriously people....get a life.

[Raghav_12]

His 4 overs were taken out from the quota of from B Kumar ,I Sharma and U T yadav and they had economy rates of 2.00, 3.75 and 3.66. All better than Dhoni. I know this is nit-picking, as difference is minor only, but there is no two ways about the fact that he let some pressure off. At least he should have tried Ashwin before getting himself on or may be could have tried Kohli. It seemed unprofessional as well. But he went for glory and almost got that.

BS. Dhoni didnt take the overs from Bhuvi/Umesh/Ishant, he took them from Jaddu and Ashwin. When was the last time we or anyone else for that matter has bowled full quota of their pacers by the 30th over ? On a pitch like this, he was saving his pacers for the end, since he figured that the spinners are going to get tonked in such an environment and he might as well get Virat or himself to bowl some medium dibby dobblies. What was the bonus for us, is that the pitch helped the spinners somewhat, with our spinners taking a combined 81-4 off of 20 overs. Thats what robbed Bhuvi,Umesh and Ishant from completeing their quotas- the spinners did unexpectedly better.

Missing the point. What is he trying to prove? Let the regulars do it and they are better. He has a stupid mindset and I would sit him out if I am the coach.
