Check ur father dhoni records-

Dhoni test average outside
In WI 2006, 24
In SA 2006, 26
In AUS 2007, 17.62
In SLK 2009 17.5
In SA 2011, 35.8
In WI 2011- 19.5 (last series)
( score of 0,16,2, 5 & 74(only one good inning when WI was operating with bowlers like bishoo/chandrapaul & front line bowler rampaul/shammi etc was resting due to injury).
Also dhoni after playing 26 T-20 intl has not scored a single fifty, no match winning inning, no MOM & pathetic strike rate of 110 (one of the lowest for any batsman in T-20 at his batting position)



Dhoni is best
That’s why doing rest.
hehehe

Critical Time
by Harpreet on Jul 25, 2011 01:04 PM

The match is evenly poised between an English win and a Draw.We needed Sehwag for the third option. But this Cricket is a funny game and you never know but one thing is for sure that this match will be decided in the first two hours of play today. Best of Luck India.

India's inability to get rid of lower batsman
by Vikas Banga on Jul 25, 2011 12:57 PM

In west indies too, India could not get out Baugh, Edwards, Sammy etc. in 2nd and 3rd tests.
Same story here. Top order 62/5 and then Broad comes in and score 74. He was though out LBW off Bhajji.
But somehow I feel India lacks killer instinct. and it is very necessary otherwise England lower batsman are good like Broad, Swann.

Drawn Match
by Mohammed on Jul 25, 2011 12:36 PM  | Hide replies

I guess this match will be a drawn affair. I do not blame the batsmen for performing poorly in the first innings. Every team needs time to acclimatize itself to new conditions. How India got the opportunity to play Somerset is still a surprise, considering the fact that the BCCI is interested in making money out of international matches. Hence this has been the case for the Indian team which plays any first match. We play below par to our capabilities and rise up in the 2nd and 3rd matches.

Like all Indians, disappointed that we will not see Sachin score a century ( I hope I’m wrong).

It was truly a delight to see Dravid score that century. Having admired the way he has led his cricket and himself, a true gentleman of the game. Cannot forget the day he made his debut. Vividly remember that… A Cricketing genius was truly born.

You are right dear friend, But Dravid and Laxman are always a trouble shooter for India but they never get the rewards that they deserve. But lesser batsman like Dhoni and Yuvraj are getting those lucarative ads and money which they do not deserve. They (Dravid and Laxman) are the real batsmen with the highest class and stand against a very high quality of bowling that you will see only in Test Cricket.

Either you are not an Indian or you are not a true muslim. In India we hindus are tolerant to all religions that why we had few muslim Presidents and few muslim captains in Hockey and Cricket that you will never find in a Muslim dominant nation. You peoples always think about Islam and that's why none of the muslim nations are Industrially Developed and they do not have any scientific achievements. Some muslim countries are rich only by the virtue of large deposits of Oil and that also are mined and produced by foreign companies and paying royalty. Muslim countries do not have any home grown talent (Yes, they have bulk of home grown terrorists) to develop their country on their own. But we Indians although we are hindu dominant nation, we had APJ Abdul Kalam, Mohammed Rafi etc and proud of them and they are also proud Indians. Jai Hind

Though he is the best bowler we have, he cheated the team and fans by hiding his injury. the slot could have gone to sree or Munaf (another muslim in your view)
