When you look at the stats Dhoni fails when his team is under the pump, his average in loosing games plummets, he is fine when the team gets off to a great start but if not he fails. Hussey averages 55 in winning games and 50 in loosing games but dhonis average between winning games and loosing games drops from 81 to 27, If Dhonis team does not get a good start then you cant expect much from him,Dhoni for mine, because not only does he have the cool head and the ability to carry his team through(Like Bevan and Hussey) if it as at 40/4, but he can also come in at the 40th over with the score being 240/5 and do a fabulous blitzkrieg. All that said, Dhoni needs to bat for a few more years to trump Bevan overall.
Misinformed opinion. Dhoni has carried India to some great wins. I would consider the greatest strength of Dhoni is his ability to come in under the pump with 6+ runs per over required and carry India to victory.When you look at the stats Dhoni fails when his team is under the pump, his average in loosing games plummets, he is fine when the team gets off to a great start but if not he fails.

Sorry to tell you that you are misinformed but Dhoni is terribly inconsistant and fails when Idia lose the match. Hussey on the other hand is very consistant and reliable. Like I said Dhoni is great when others have done the hard work but relying on him as a finished in tight games will cost the team. He also dies in the big games like the WC and Champions trophy.Misinformed opinion. Dhoni has carried India to some great wins.

A higher average in losing games would otherwise reflect an inability to take India to victory, or simply batting out the overs as seen in some 2nd innings chases that fall well short.
Ha ha. Best circular reasoning ever. Teams lose when individuals don't perform. His low average in lost matches denote that when he fails india lose generally.When you look at the stats Dhoni fails when his team is under the pump, his average in loosing games plummets, he is fine when the team gets off to a great start but if not he fails.

I don't understand the logic that Dhoni fails when India lose. What is the point of Dhoni averaging 50 in games India still end up losing? The fact that he averages 80+ in wins by India suggests he plays a massive role in guiding India to victory. I'm sure if you look through the career of Dhoni you will find some wonderful examples of Dhoni coming in at the crunch moments and scoring tough run a ball innings.Sorry to tell you that you are misinformed but Dhoni is terribly inconsistant and fails when Idia lose the match.

So tell me again, why is Dhoni better than Bevan or Hussey.I don't understand the logic that Dhoni fails when India lose. What is the point of Dhoni averaging 50 in games India still end up losing?

Always need to be careful using World Cup and Champions Trophy as a measure of a players ability. Hussey averaged 17.40 from 6 innings in the 2007 World Cup, to go with his average of 38 in the Champions Trophy. These tournaments are such small sample sizes given the amount of games these cricketers play. You can be a failure at the WC or CT, and yet still be a wonderful ODI cricketer.
I have yet to suggest that Dhoni is better than Bevan or Hussey. I just dispute your opinion of Dhoni as a failure based on his average in losing matches, or his World Cup record.So tell me again, why is Dhoni better than Bevan or Hussey.
