afan Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Mahela is one of the best player of spin bowling and there was enough help for seamers. The key word is "seamers"..Dhoni wouldnt qualify as one in international cricket..I bet he bowls better than me, for sure :)

afan Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 U can use only available options' date=' I think Dhoni is slightly quicker than Kohli:haha:[/quote'] Using available options is fine..But Im not sure if Dhoni is classified even as a part timer..And if the conditions were known to the team, then they shud have been better equipped in the starting 11, isnt it? Anyways, as a cricket lover, I would never expect to see this in an international tourney where scorecard is recorded.... smells of smirk and unproffessionalism who doesnt care much for the game...Its nothing much to do with match situation or end result..Just my 2 cents!
adi B Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 cant believe people defending this move,even yoda seems pissed!!
rkt.india Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 cant believe people defending this move' date='even yoda seems pissed!![/quote'] Yeah. I want him to shed his ODI keeping gloves and bowl more in ODIs. He is a pretty decent seamer for one who rarely bowls, seams and swings the ball at PK's pace, pretty accurate as well, can provide 4th seam option if needed and bowls regularly.
I6MTW Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 Bowls better than Ishant, Vinay, Irfan. More economical than yadav. So best pacer in the squad.

SLICKR392 Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 we had 5 full time bowlers and none of them had gone above 4 RPO when Dhoni decided to try his BS. last time I checked 5x10 was still 50. We needed a seamer there and why wasn't this made a big deal when Kohlii was given the ball and whacked around? I just don't get it. Jadeja went for runs in the first few overs as the ball was wet and I'm saying this again that almost all the pacer were nearing their respective quota. It was either Kohli or Dhoni who could medium pace and we required one for that pitch. He almost got a wicket and bowled very accurately as well. AFAIK, this thread is pure hypocrisy. There weren't any thread or much bashing when Kohli bowled and he bowled filth, unlike Dhoni.
saneindian Posted June 22, 2013 Posted June 22, 2013 This is what I wrote in a thread on us playing 5 bowlers I still see Kohli and Raina bowling despite there being 5 bowlers in the side. http://www.indiancricketfans.com/showpost.php?p=2457535&postcount=12 Never knew Dhoni will go a step ahead and bowl himself, but then I didnt expect the team to win even a single match in CT either.

Once again if I am the coach I would bench his sorry @ss.

Thats why he does pathetic things like bowling himself
bulbul Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Hope Dhoni bowls 4/5 overs today and shut up haterz.
