Maybe Dhoni bats too low in T20. I believe your best striker should get to face as much of the bowling as he can. Yeah today he was in early but it's different coming into turmoil at 5-40 as opposed to coming at 20-2 when neither side have asserted themselves and you still have proper batsmen by your side.
ICC World T20 2016
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
When the game was already over. Means nothing.
Naah, not giving him stick for today. Just saying he's very average in T20s.
It was a low total and with some support from Ashwin, he could have made a match out of it still. I should really start supporting Pakistan, else there's no hope for India team.
On the flip side Dhoni is much better when he's coming in tough situations and can steady the team. He's no good coming in when we're doing well.
Naah, pitch was too fecked for those 2 to do anything from that stage. Root for Pak with your buddy @MJJ next game, we'll win for sure
Dhoni was fine today. The others had to show some application and patience. Credit to NZ for doing their homework.

Meh! We are hopeless.
Wait till you see England play here
England have a very, very decent team.
Roy, Vince, Root, Buttler, Morgan are very good players for this format. They've got good spinners in Rashid and Ali and a genuine match winner in Stokes. I think they'll do well here.
Come on, they'll struggle in sub continent conditions. Where's your optimism ffs
Only problem is that Stokes and Morgan are both hopeless against spin and Vince won't get a game.
I don't think we've got the batting for these conditions, if the world cup was elsewhere we might have a chance.
Morgan is not. He's good.
Outdated, and the wrong format, but the numbers don't back that up.

Very surprised India lost!
The silence in the ground is always hilarious to watch when a wicket falls 
Team will get slaughtered in the media

The guy did that like 2 weeks ago in the final of Asia cup. Even in the t20s against Aus.
Dhoni sends himself at 6 only if the wickets fall earlier. Last week he sent himself 2 down against Bangladesh. I like yuvi and raina but they played like they had no sense today. Needless shots.
Today was just a bad day. India are still a special team.
Which "special" do you mean sultan?
Talented, bhai.
Ohhh riight
yeah, they're a good side.Special team.. nah. So overrated. Amir exposed all the flat track bullies in the team for what they are. Only mistake we made here was to make the pitch favorable for bowlers in anyway. Should have kept it flat as they come.
Just saw the result and the highlights. Losing at home to spin.. really?
You do know that England recently won the test series in India?
This is T20 though, not test cricket. Wonder how they fared in T20 matches from the same series.
Genius
If New Zealand beat Australia on Friday, that'd probably be enough to book a place in the semi finals for them. Will make the match between India and Australia even more important.
Had Southee and Boult played, India might have won. Spinners of NZ took 9 out of 10 wickets.
India are not any better player of spins for some time now, maybe marginally in tests and also given Indian spinners are little better than most teams' spinners, India wins home tests on turners.
Not on wickets that helps bowlers. They become 'special needs' if the wicket takes turn or has seam/swing in it.
Lovely to be proven wrong. Nice to see FTBs like Dhawan, Rohit and Raina getting exposed as soon as there's something in it for the bowlers.
Fair play to NZ as well. 3 spinners seamed overkill at the time, especially leaving out Boult but you guys read it perfectly.
I meant it in fun.

I wasnt able to watch the game but checked on here to see what was happening, unfortunately your comment was the last one I saw. In all fairness I dont know much about the various strengths of the sides or follow it as well as you, was just having a bit of a laugh. The number of times i have got things wrong would dwarf yours.
Cheers
Day 8: Bangladesh vs Pakisan | England vs West Indies
Looking forward to seeing "boom boom" bat tonight. Hope he does well, one of my favourite non Aussie cricketers.
No harm done mate
Liability these days both with bat and ball. Recent scores with the bat: 0, DNB, 0, DNB, 2, 32, 2, 5, DNB, 9.
Bad captain as well. Good thing he will be retiring in 4 games time.
The numbers suggest he won't go out with a bang but i hope he does.No harm done mate

Good thing sharjeel got out, have a bet with a friend that he wont make it past 20 in the worldcup. Close shave today.
You've lost if he survives 3 overs in any game.
That's a big if.
Yeah I know, the bet is heavily in his favour but was convinced by the shittiness of sharjeel when I made it.
