Dhoni's take away from this match is that we attacked too much. FFS.

Wait I'm getting confused. Did smith make the decision or not? Anything from the presentation?

Nah, let's have a farcical coronation of Tendulkar against cannon fodder West Indies instead.
The guy that made the decision is dead. Nobody will stand up and cop the blame.

I can sort of understand from SA's point of view that given they'll most likely annihilate India in the 2nd Test and take the series 1-0 that there's not much upside to gambling this Test.
Still it was a bit wimpy.

Nah. It is not the worst decision. Considering the practice India got he made this game what it ended up being.

He is right tbf. Attacked too much at times today, when the game was running away quickly.
Especially every bowler wanted to bowl the perfect wicket taking ball.
Not sure why he said we bowled really well this match though. 2nd innings bowling was bad.

Mandela spoke to the batsmen from beyond the gave, forewarning them of the collapse to come.

Hence the angry six off the last ball.
I'm sure the message to not go for it was because Morkel was injured and Tahir is crap. Save the game first. I don't personally agree with it, but you can understand why it was made.

Think faf would've won it if they won. But Kohli was immense in both innings, especially th first, when everyone found batting difficult on both sides

He was referring to the number of deliveries that went down to 3rd man and fine leg, since Dhoni didn't have fielders in those places.
