Not only is he less entertaining to watch, he actually puts India winning first, which is a thing I do not appreciate.

It'd be like if Sreesanth got a short back n' sides, started hitting consistent lines and lengths and shut up from time to time. It'd be awful.

Dhoni has always been a 'sensible' batsman. He's been that way since his first match. People too easily stereotype him (or his earlier version) to be an Afridi-type batsman just because he scores fast.

Please stop denigrating Dhoni by using him in the same breath as Shahid Afridi.

I once remember a talk show before the 2003 world cup where they had invited Imran Khan to discuss cricket. Imran was asked about the all rounders in the team particularly Shahd Afridi......

Imran had this to say (translating).........."All rounder is a player who can get into the side on the strength of any of his disciplines. What kind of an all rounder is Shahid Afridi who can neither bat nor bowl????"

Arguably Brett Lee's greatest ever performance in an ODI. Just awesome.

Even i miss the Dhoni of old..
His innings against Pakistan A in Kenya and against Pakistan in Karachi and Vizag in 2006 are two that come to mind
