India's Tour to South Africa, 2013

[Ram]

His defense is suspect and he does not when (and when not) to attack. In essense, he is a poor man's Afridi.

[helperononline]

he cannot play well under pressure today was one such moment i am sure he will improve

[Number]

Looking the way Zak, Ishant and Shami tried to stick around, they surely got some instructions after first innings failure. Jaddu would have got some phainty from Dhoni-Fletcher after his atrocious shot today.

[cowboysfan]

biggest mystery.someday he'l show that form in intl cricket

its a conspiracy,somebody else must have batted for him.

[BeautifulGame]

Jadeja just lacking confidence with the bat.Will average 35-40 in tests once he gains confidence.100% certain about. He will be a great all rounder for us in both test/Odi in the future.

[Lord]

its a conspiracy' date='somebody else must have batted for him.[/quote'] yeah

[Old guy]

But for Kohli's dismissal we would have survived another 100 plus overs and possibly saved the test.

**** happens!

Dhoni's press conference after the 2nd test match.. Press conference Chetan Narula ‏@chetannarula 14m Dhoni in PC: Lost too many wickets in morning session. Couple decisions went against us n soft dismissals which we cudnt afford. #SAvInd Dhoni in PC: Time Rahane spent on bench, he worked on fitness/technique/his approach to game. Great to see him grasp his opportunity #SAvInd Dhoni in PC: New ball had no swing, who will bowl 25 overs before we can get reverse? Jadeja cant use it either. It was strategy. #SAvInd Dhoni in PC: Moment we started bowling, we knew we had to get some reverse. Jadeja bowled well, took wkts n kept one end tight. #SAvInd Dhoni in PC, on old ball: It was Christmas time but I am not Santa Claus to give them free runs. Using soft, old ball was strategy. #SAvInd Dhoni in PC: Bowling did well in Johannesburg with favourable pitch. Need to learn how to bowl on dry wickets overseas. #SAvInd Dhoni in PC: Few teams were big supporters of DRS now they are against DRS. When it helps u its gud, when it doesnt its not. #SAvInd Dhoni in PC: Human error is part n parcel of the game. As long as its not a blunder, its fair enough. #SAvInd Dhoni in PC: Unless we find a fast-bowling allrounder like Kallis, we cannot play two spinners outside sub-continent. #SAvInd Dhoni in PC on DRS: Dont need guards who come only in afternoon n leave me to guard myself from 9pm-9am. Need 24-hour security! #SAvInd Dhoni in PC: Lower order will take time to contribute. #SAvInd Dhoni in PC: Batsmen need to capitalize wen opposition is tired. Those are free Test runs. Will learn as they play more matches. #SAvInd Dhoni (the chef) in PC: Good squad this. Have fantastic ingredients. Didnt cook well in this match. Need to cook the right recipe. #SAvInd Dhoni in PC: Fantastic performance overall, (but) yes we could have done better. #SAvInd

Dhoni in PC, on old ball: It was Christmas time but I am not Santa Claus to give them free runs.

Ishant is permanent Santa Clause who doesn't see whether its Christmas, or Holi, Diwali or Eid. 12 months of gifted runs.

Did we have at least 3-4 poor dejishens at Durban during all 5 days combined?

WTF! Trying to justify his stupidity to bench Rahane for so long. How about Dhoni spends some time on the bench as well and learns to put bat to ball outside the subcontinent! :hysterical:

bench pe baithadiye toh fir kaptaani kaun karega yaar

bench pe nahi baitha hai toh bhi kaun si achchi kaptaani kar raha hai last 2 years se tests mein...

Human error is useful when you edge one to slips

Dhoni should grow out his long grey beard, and use it to smother balls in it. His utter failure in handling the seaming, swinging and bouncing balls outside the subcontinent tells a tale by itself - a tale of a man who lacks the balls to take charge.
