Cricket is about following a process.. Laid down by intestinal instincts.

Cricket is about taking credit when you win and calling your bowlers brainless, when they dont bowl the lines you want to the fields you set.

[Crookbond]

Full quote

"Definitely, when it comes to the talent part, yes. It will just be the mental approach, to be a bit more positive when it is in your areas, go ahead with your shot even if you get out playing that shot, back yourself because at the end of the day, what cricket really is is about the amount of runs you score and the wickets you take. You don't have to survive for long if you are scoring quickly."

Cricket is all about knicking the ball to first slip

"I donl;t think we payed good cricket. We played the fast bowlers wlel' date='Moeen bowled well, but we let him bowl well," says MS Dhoni. He bowled good lines and one ball will turn, there is some wear on the wicket and we should have been more positive. There were quite a few soft dismissals, the phase where Jinx got out and a couple of other wickets that fell. The last session yesterday we lost too many wickets. We could have looked at the Test today a different way without that. [b']The reason for using four bowlers i is the we never used the fifth. We just used him for 10 and 8 overs. With Shikhar and Vijay and Rohit around we thought we could do it. But it's the bowling we need to improve and hit the top of off stump. We will have to think about the four-bowler strategy. We can say the extra batsman didn't score, but then again the extra bowler didit pick up wickets. So we have to discuss a lot and decide on the basis of the pitch. Ishant won't be fit for the next game, Pankaj bowled really well, tall guy bowled good lengths. In this pitch he bowled the right length. Could have got three wickets but it just didn't go his way. Shami and Bhuvi bowled well too, they dont hit the deck hard when they not normally do. When it comes ot talent, we are good. In the mental approach, we have to play out shots and back ourselves because cricket is about runs and wickets"

On the one hand, his logic is that "we" didn't use the fifth bowler. Not sure who he is referring to "we" here? So he picks Binny but doesn't bowl him and then blames him for not getting wickets? And he genuinely believes Shikhar, Vijay and Rohit are test quality bowlers! Does this guy even get test cricket?

Classic Dhoni line: "You don't have to survive for long if you are scoring quickly." Translation: I am a hack and cant bat very long in test cricket with my non-existent technique
