Thinking more about the process, less about the result - Dhoni at the toss.

Keep bowling the garbage in between some tight bowling and expect result ? Blame captain all you want but till we don't learn how to bowl to a plan don't expect results

Although I don't think Dhoni is a great captain at test level, he is right though. You do have to focus on the process. What he said makes absolute sense. I think if this quote came from Graeme Smith or Steve Waugh in their prime, no one would think it's a big deal.

Lol thank you for clarifying that. But imagine if he said the opposite "The process doesn't matter. We need to focus on the results" What exactly would that mean? Bowler about to bowl the first ball. Skipper walks up to him. "Ok so what's the plan here? What field should we set?" "WHO CARES ABOUT THE FIELD? LET'S FOCUS ON THE WIN!!!" I'm not a fan of Dhoni's captaincy but ICFers criticising what he said today are just being idiots.

As Mark Taylor said, Dhoni encourages bad bowling himself by putting old field placements. That leg slip invites bowling on legs which isnt good bowling and bowlers are bound to stray if you bowl there. Test matches are still played conventional way, bowl outside off on good length, keep it there consistently.

If the "process" yields the same results again & again, then its time to either change it or discard it.. But end of the day one is only judged by results
