*Official* Asia Cup 2018 in UAE

Any game that comes down to the last ball has to be considered close...

***** doing post match gambhiring now.

 

[Shri]

Give us a glimpse of the old dhoni

We got really old Dhoni instead.

 

[harsh.ag]

What a shitshow this middle order is. Kohli has to go to 4 for the team balance to work. Dhoni has made it clear that only a WC debacle will lead him to **** the hell off. And he will get that. So good for him.

 

[mr_mister]

suprised to find Dhoni averaged 60 last year in ODIs


have we been too harsh

 

[TheJediBrah]

Dhoni 36 (67) wow

 

[OverratedSanity]

Bah gawd Dhoni needs to be binned

 

[vcs]

Yup, time's up for MSD.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Wait til after the WC IMO.

 

[Borges]

It would have been better for both India and Bangladesh if the result had gone the other way.

 

[garylyon]

Hoping Dhoni would do a Alastair Cook and bow out of international Cricket with a match winning century against the West Indies at home. If he sticks until after WC, he'll **** India's chances and likely get a lot of **** for that. He doesn't deserve that kind of a finish to his career

I can't understand someone with such good sense of timing and occasion can't see that it's best for everyone that he quits. He was quite pragmatic when he decided to bow out of test cricket and limited over captaincy. (Though I think he could have been better off quitting limited over and continuing tests)

You either retire young or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

 

[stephen]

Seriously though is Dhoni going to be replaced by someone better than him if he retires? It's all well and good saying he's not what he was but of he's still the best keeper/ bat in the country then him moving on won't help things. The world cup is only 9 months away.

Maybe not "better", but almost certainly better for the role they've actually got Dhoni playing with the context of their batting lineup.

They're a very top heavy side and he comes in at 5 or 6 all the time after 35 overs and can't/doesn't hit out. It's just a really bad match.

 

[stephen]

If that's the case then he should probably just bat 3 and anchor.

 

[TheJediBrah]

If that's the case then he should probably just bat 3 and anchor.

But there's better players to do that.

 

[Daemon]

If he has to play I'd rather we hide him and let him come in right before Bhuvi
