Mastermind Dhoni !!!

[velu]

Turned the match with one simple and effective strategy. :hatsoff:

[velu]

Graeme Swann, Ex-England spinner on BBC Test Match Special "Exactly as I predicted in the last over. When a man is continually taking it on, taking it on, he's going to mishit one. He hit it straight to deep midwicket. You have to doff your cap to MS Dhoni for holding his nerve. Matt Prior was definitely second best in that battle of minds." :icflove:

First test victory at Lords since 1986 :hatsoff:

His captaincy was pretty good today. Credit where due. Still doesn't belong in this format.

If this win is attributable to Dhoni, then all losses should be as well? The biggest contributors to this win are 1. Rahane 2. Ishant 3. Jadeja

dhoni has improved. but this win hopefully changes him. he knows now he has the bowlers and.. hello.. the FIELD PLACEMENTS AND TACTICS to win. He kept slips in. At times he let it slip he needs to work on it. HOPE this changes him. He has won!

No. Its like in case of Congress and the Gandhi - victory bcoz of Rahul Gandhi and loss bcoz of organization.

if all the losses are attributed to dhoni then all the wins shld also be credited to dhoni :icflove: thread is not for posters like you .. its for blind haterz who find fault with dhoni in everything

[Crookbond]

Appreciating the captain on the strategy doesn't mean the win is ONLY attributed to him.

[Sidhoni]

Did anyone hear that? Ishant didn't want to bowl short but Dhoni convinced him.

It's quoted on Cricinfo.

"First session today showed us that we had to be at our best, at that point what happens is you start doubting yourself. That last over before lunch, Ishant didn't want to bowl short, I just told him he has to and turned away. It was a fantastic performance."

That short pitch ball strategia should be credited to dhoni.he is still a liability in the team but today he deserves to be lauded
