Dhoni as a batsman is over, he scored 3 boundaries today. Two were edges to third man and the third came of the last ball of the innings when Sidebottom did not care. All his attempts to hit a boundary in front of the wicket resulted in a single or double.

Dhoni’s running between the wickets was even worse. He almost got Yusuf out while trying to regain the strike, and then in the last over he did not push for twos to get Yusuf on strike.This looks like a selfish act and probably is. Harbhajan would have been a better partner for Yusuf in the last few overs.

Dhoni’s captaincy has been horrible to say the least. Why was Jadeja sent before Yuvraj? Had Yuvraj played 40 balls India would have won the game easy. More importantly why did Raina come in at number 3 when he can not play short pitched bowling at all. West Indies sorted him out and England was just bowling short to him.

Sachin, who was sitting in the spectators at Lords, would have been more than handy in this sort of situation. England would not have even thought of bowling short to him, and even if they had done Sachin would have scored enough runs of the bouncers. I wish that instead of Raina and Jadeja it was Sachin and Dravid at number 3 and 4 then the game would have been completley different. India would have chased 153 easily.

Dhoni needs to rething his game, at this rate he will not last more than a year in the team.

Dhoni’s foolishness continues

Dhoni: Captain cool or Captain fool?
