I guess dhoni was a big hitter but to be frank not now. Even he accepted in 2009 t20 world cup. Thats why he sent albie morkel prior to him in last match too. Its better for him to bat in 1 down. As he is genius in taking singles with or without hitting with the bat. (i mean with leg byes too..) :)
They have some good batsman who can score well in most matches but bowling wafer thin.. They only had Murali who was threatening.. With the signing of Bollinger and the self raisal of ashwin, they have two more dependable and this has reduced the pressure on Morkel as bowler..
Hope they can make it atleast into the semis.. If not win the tournament!!
