Dhoni is talking bull-shit
by rana bose on Feb 12, 2008 05:04 PM

Mahendra Singh Dhoni has put up a very weak defense for the humiliating defeat in the hands of the Lankans. He often reminds us that he has won us the T20 World Championship. If it is so then he should have played this fielding innings as a T20 match. He had his own set of players and there were no "oldies" like Ganguly, Dravid or Laxman to foil his plans. Then what stopped him from restricting the Lankans. How could they score at 8.11 runs per over and finish the match in 19 overs. Bottomline is, a team composition must be balanced. Batsmen have to score runs wasteing minimum number of balls, bowlers need to take wickets conceding minimum number of runs. Fielding well is secondary and cannot be the decisive factor in team selection. Because, a player at the most can give away 10-15 runs through average fielding but if he scores a quickfire 70 he is contributing. Dhoni has to take the blame for fielding non-performers like Yuvi & Sreesanth.
