If???Dhoni leaving these balls outside off will look stupid if he then wafts outside off and gets an edge.
Almost.Dhoni leaving these balls outside off will look stupid if he then wafts outside off and gets an edge.
The guy does average 50 in ODI cricket tbf.If???
Dhoni averages 50 in a format of cricket where wafting outside off and getting an edge results in runs 98% of the time? No way!The guy does average 50 in ODI cricket tbf.
i'm sure gambhir will understand.Both were outside leg, he just learned his lesson this time.
The weirdest thing about how awesomely effective McKay has been in ODIs so far isn't even so much his limited armoury, but the fact that he really hasn't bowled very well very often, IMO. I mean we can all see that he doesn't actually have much to his bowling, but it's not like he's compensated for that by being supremely accurate, building pressure and thinking batsmen out; he's compensated for that by consistently being a jammy ****. Maybe I just don't give enough credit to how hard his slower balls are to pick or something because it's hard to argue with the results, but it's odd.Interesting to see just how much Christian/McKay have outbowled the new ball bowlers.
Bowled well today tbf. Not bowled anywhere near as many pies as the others.The weirdest thing about how awesomely effective McKay has been in ODIs so far isn't even so much his limited armoury, but the fact that he really hasn't bowled very well very often, IMO.

And my point was that it's not a matter of if but when in regards to Dhoni wafting outside off and getting an edge. Whether or not it gets him out is irrelevant; you were the one who brought it up.That's my point though. His test weaknesses are irrelevant here.
