Dhoni playing a dead bat to Athers's "You're a bit **** for a #1 side, eh?" questions.

Saying he's "really proud" of them is taking the Mickey Bliss tho, surely?

England number 1, India dismantled and its sad to say but it still doesnt come close to comparing to the Ashes. Not stopping me going out for a drink to celebrate though

I don't think he is , I like that both he and Nasser ask the hard questions an it would be nice if Dhoni was a bit more honest about what's happened.

Its one thing to ask hard questions, its another if every question is basically a rephrasing of the question : "Do you think you guys are a bunch of has-been ****'s?". Atherton has a history of being a douche though so you don't expect much better from him anyways.

They've been ****s tbh... as utterly dispiriting a performance as it comes... these clowns can go back and play in their boy's league that's IPL... let real men play do the business in this format.

England WAGs. Broad u ****ing WAG.

Great interview with Swanny & Jimmy, apparently Prior told him to fire the ball wide and he said he would stump him, didn't quite work out.

That Swann/Anderson interview was pure excellence!!!! Just what you wanted to see after the terrible Bell/KP interview full of the same tired cliches. Swann is hilarious.

I hate Dhoni's post match conferences

""We need to see what limitations we have. A few of our players are not great fielders and we're not the best looking fielding side in the world. What we're really proud of is our bowling and batting. We have not been able to keep good deliveries out, it's a major area of concern. We need to see out the good ones and make use of the loose deliveries. A couple of defeats doesn't change anything I am still proud of my team. When you play for India there is a lot of expectation and people expect us to win everything but that's not possible. Being No. 1 or not being No. 1 is not important, it's all about being consistent. I've been quite happy with the preparation but it's one of those series where nothing has really clicked for us."

Was the opposition any good MS?

Yes, I'm not asking for him to publically rip his team to shreds but a bit more honesty about the situation would be nice.

his post-match comments are the worst thing about Dhoni otherwise he is a fine guy. He NEVER gives any credit to the opposition. I find it really irritating.

Chanderpaul?
Chanders has a technique all of his own but, somehow, he does play ramrod straight.

It's dog rough to watch, but it's not a bottom-handed, clear-the-front-leg-for-a-swipe method like Dhoni.

Closest to Dhoni in terms of dodgy techiques are, I'd suggest, Collingwood and Fat Gray. Both, when not in prime nick, absolutely strangle the bat.
