If you say so.Well he was only given about 8 extra overs to nab a tailender/Dhoni to get his 5-fer and reverted to long hops and wide ones. Therefore, he doesn't deserve the 5th one.
He did that earlier in the series and nicked off, didn't he?(Semi) serious question: should Dhoni just tee off whatever the match situation? Looks a much better batsman when he's looking to put willow to every leather than when he tries to play quote-unquote "test cricket".
In helpful bowling conditions, certainly. Same goes for Raina imo.(Semi) serious question: should Dhoni just tee off whatever the match situation? Looks a much better batsman when he's looking to put willow to every leather than when he tries to play quote-unquote "test cricket".
He usually does, hence you have oddities like his innings at Lord's in '07. It's much more common for him to play too aggressively than too defensively, his failures in the previous two games certainly weren't through not playing enough shots. But he certainly should have put England under a lot more pressure in the first innings at Lord's.(Semi) serious question: should Dhoni just tee off whatever the match situation?
