Ah, here he is. Amazing how much bitching he does when Australia's opposition collapses.

Aye. Was rather an odd performance by Emma in the last 30 minutes.

I'd devote last 2 spots to Dhoni as well.
Got to be sh!t* WK bat in world cricket atm.
Hardly ever plays any meaningful knock in test cricket.

Yeah, there's no obvious competition for Minestrone in this category....he and he alone among current Test captains can make our guy look like Einstein.
Obv Tendles doesn't want the Akela gig and Dravid is past it, but there must be other candidates. Frinstance, have they ever seriously looked at Laxman? Or even the Turbanned Turd?

Sehwag would be a good captain I reckon. Or Gambhir.

Excellent piece of keeping to stump Clarke though.

Dhoni is the best WK we've got. He's definitely over-rated as a test batsman and as a 'big-hitter'. He's still a very good ODI batsman though.
Captaincy .. it's not v obvious either way. He looks v defensive a lot of times, but the results back him up. Also need to take into consideration the indian bowling attack which is crap most of the time. He's definitely not a clueless captain though, whatever he does on the field as a captain has some kind of strategy/method to it.

Dhoni is a good keeper, excellent standing up to a bowler, pace or spin. He's the best batsman of the one's available to us (Parthiv Patel does not count as a WK). And IMHO, except when he goes ultra-defensive, he's a damn good captain as well.
The ultra-defensiveness is the effect of our bowlers.

And let's be realistic of what to expect from him in tests. He has an effective technique, capable of 50s, but not big 100s. He'll never be a premium WK-Batsman. And he hasn't been a big hitter since the last 3 years atleast, even when we needed him to be.

Spanky said it the other day- Dhoni has a great feel for leadership, but no feel whatsoever for cricket.

Pretty spot on assessment. I have had my doubts about Dhoni all along. Pathan and Yuvi were the other two I thought were overrated.Henry wrote:Spanky said it the other day- Dhoni has a great feel for leadership, but no feel whatsoever for cricket.

Nonsense, dig up the post and show me where I have said that. You like many others in India are ultra sensitive about your "clan" heroes and take it all personal when anything about the likes of Tendulkar is brought up such as his age, fitness or the ferrari matter or bending of other rules to accomodate these guys. Basically you want to believe that your chosen ones are beyond criticism. I don't.The One wrote:yeah. but you also thought tendulkar was over-rated
Your needless response to drag Tendulkar into this thread only proves my above point.

Ajit Agarkar was outstanding from a bowling perspective down under in that ill fated 0-3 series (1999-2000 ?).
