velu Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 he would have never let the match come to such a situation. India would have won earlier. but we faced situations like these many a times even without MSD doing his usual stuff.. :giggle: but MSD have been there and done that time and again :icflove: should hand it to MSD ahead of sachin when comes to finishing the stuff :winky: again instead of comparing MSD vs goddy , logical debate shld be great opener vs great finisher with MSD and goody as samples :icflove: Link to comment
Old guy Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 :WTF: We have just won an epic match and pawned the Sri Lungans once again & we're having discussion on who the best is - an opener or a No.7 batsman? :wall: let me finish this sachin=best opener msd=best finisher now everyone STFU:finger: Link to comment
jusarrived Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Can someone honestly tell me that Dhoni would have scored the desert storm in Sharjah? Or that Sachin would have left it till 15 of 6 in the first place if he had opened? Since when is 15 0f 6 the only criteria to judge a batsman? Dhonis 183 against sl was a far better innings . So hes done that too . Link to comment
JaFanatic Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Sometimes looking at what post a person is replying to' date=' helps[/quote'] sorry m on a high after this win :D Link to comment
ganeshran Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Dhoni fans have become blind to all criticism of Shri Shri Mahendar Singh Dhoniji. His batting was pisspoor till those last 3 deliveries. No timing, edges, refusing singles off penultimate deliveries only to miss out on the last ball. It was only after that 6 that Eranga buckled under pressure and start bowling length with width. Full credit to Dhoni for the wonderful finish but don't paint this as some sort of brilliant innings. Won't fool anyone who actually watched the game instead of following it on Cricinfo Link to comment

JaFanatic Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Like I said earliar Finisher >> Opener Msd >>>>> sachin Nothing against tendulkar , but this is no contest :hysterical: Link to comment
Sachin=GOD Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Yeah getting to 200 in the 50th over............that's the stuff legends are made of. Little world - even smaller rock/hole - thoda baaki logonse baat karo thoda aur pehleke matches dekho grow a bit........not grow up........'grow'. Agree with mtc - shouldnt even dignify this with a reply but anyway. Meh... Legends are made by scoring 15 of 6 balls Link to comment

Old guy Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 :agree: but Dhoni fans >>> sachin fans :giggle: fans can have there favorites ..i totally understand if some one thinks finishing is better but please dont undermine opening position by making it sound like its easiest position and any one could have done what sachin did :winky: Link to comment
CSK Fan Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Like I said earliar Finisher >> Opener Msd >>>>> sachin Nothing against tendulkar , but this is no contest Dude as I have said before, you will put Vinay Kumar ahead of Sachin. I have seen your posts over the years and your obvious dislike of Sachin is something very obvious Link to comment
ganeshran Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 A finisher can't do squat without the openers laying a platform. Both roles complement each other and can't really be compared. In one of Dhoni's best innings - One against Pakistan where he single handedly took us to a 220 odd total after the top order crumbled, resulted in a loss for India. Link to comment
Old guy Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 ++ only that I dont agree it was an epic match. match was ok..bad quality cricket with exception of few innings on pitch not suitable for odis with thrilling end ..it being final made it more interesting :two_thumbs_up: Link to comment
JaFanatic Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 :agree: but Dhoni fans >>> sachin fans :giggle: i know what your doing :poink: Link to comment
