*Official* India Tour of England 2018

[flibbertyjibber]

Looks an easy win for Yorkshire then.

Now that the game is gone, he'll hit a few boundaries, bring his SR upto a relatively respectable level and remain not out. A routine he's perfected in the last few years.

 

[Teja.]

same as the British army... the toffs tend to make better officers/leaders.

For the record, the earlier post you made is about as offensive as saying ‘improved performance under new white SA captain is a great argument for slavery’.

Good to know you’re just an ignorant idiot though and not an active manusmriti preacher.

Yea that's it, game's done

Can't believe we're carrying MSD to the 2019 WCs. Like, he's not solely to blame for this loss, i'm not saying it's his fault, but he just looks so bad and past it.

If our selectors had any balls they'd drop him and get either Pant or DK into the team.

He's just a poor man's Gnske. Not worth your time.

commentators taking the piss calling Dhoni one of the world's best finishers. living in their little bubble refusing to admit how crap he has become. same thing happened with ponting. wish some commentators would just straight up say 'player x used to be good but now he's pretty **** eh'

 

[R!TTER]

i'm beating a dead horse here but he can literally only poke it around for ones and twos these days. when he does get the odd four it looks ugly/flukey as hell

I hope he retires before the WC, I honestly do but knowing him (& the wretched 4-0 twice after 2011 WC) he has absolutely no shame

Oh **** off yes he is. The guy is a complete joke and deserves all the crap he gets.

 

[Mr Miyagi]

Dhoni 23(39)

All time taking it deep great.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Not even trying to retain the strike and play some big shots. Absolutely disgraceful.

couldn't be further apart.

Uh, Dhoni is playing like Misbah now. I thought he'd attack the pacers at least.

A billion consumers errr dreams.

Kuldeep looks like he can bat a bit. #positives

 

[mr_mister]

a golden duck while swinging hard for the fences would have been more dignified than this

 

[slippy888]

Dhoni done a lot for india cricket but he taking the micky with these heartless batting displays of late

 

[OverratedSanity]

A billion consumers errr dreams.

Commentators feeling Indian fans' #pressure

You don't get any of this in Cricket because all commentators, selectors, spokespeople are all drawn from the same little bubble of the cricket playing community.

This is why cricket administration is so weak and poorly run, this is why the media is ****, and this is why the sport is being lead further into irrelevance. There is such a stubborn mindset against letting non-cricket people into the world of running cricket. You look at American sports, or even sports like Football and Rugby, and you'll see a clear distinction between members of media, members of sports administration, and the athletes themselves. This allows you to have trained, experienced professionals in each position, and frees up the politics that exist when the selectors, coaches, administrators and media personalities are all good friends and have ties to the players themselves.

Dhoni 24(42) - he's setting himself to go big average boost here

 

[cnerd123]

Oh **** off yes he is. The guy is a complete joke and deserves all the crap he gets.

I mean we were already 140/4 needing 8 RPO to win when he walked in. Even vintage Dhoni might not have been able to salvage that.

But yea, crap innings.
