I was to the point actually..........you said Dhoni is the best captain that you have seen live.......I was wondering how old are you and since when have you been watching cricket???? Why is that trolling??? It is alright if you don't want to answer that

haha....I think I'll go with Himannv's verdict of likable as opposed to lickable................

That Ed Smith bloke's quite smart, isn't he? He was only in the England team for about five minutes, but I think he's written a book or two.

Not in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's league, though, of course.

You could be a great and inspirational leader of men and still be as dumb as bricks tbh.

That's what I'm desperately hoping about Clarke, considering I think he's a bit of a half-wit who just parrots the latest PR guff. I'm on a hiding to nothing though, I know that.

Dhoni's predicament :

1) Play safe, ensure series win : cop flak from internet posters and media.
2) Play for the 'spirit of the game', lose the match and draw the series : have his house burned down/stoned.

Jeez, what a life!

Yeah, Smith has a double first from Cambridge, which puts him in something like the top 0.01% of the UK, intelligence-wise. I suspect he's the only test cricket to have an Oxbridge double first.

 

[smash84]

what do you mean by a double from Cambridge?

 

[BoyBrumby]

what do you mean by a double from Cambridge?

Sorry. It's a university degree classification. In the UK we have first class honours degrees, higher second class, lower second class, third class & ordinary non-honours degrees.

In order to obtain a "double first" one must achieve first-class honours in two separate subjects in the same exams. They're only awarded by the Oxbridge unis.

 

[hang on]

Realistically it's probably this chap as he's the sole first-class cricketer to be a Nobel laureate.

watt?

 

[Zinzan]

Quite easily

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Lily Cole got a double first from Cambridge recently. Beauty and Brains.

I didn't criticise his decision to secure the draw and the series win, but he's a pretty defensive captain sometimes. I'm always shocked when a relatively new batsmen hits a 4 and Dhoni immediately places a boundary rider there or a long on.

When Sammy came into bat in one of his brief innings he was greeted with three boundary riders facing Bhaji because he'd smacked a couple sixes the previous match.

Stuart Clark's not exactly dumb, has a degree from Sydney Uni (in Commerce IIRC).

This.
such a useless defensive captain

Although I agree on the general point that Dhoni is a reasonable defensive captain, having a boundary rider to a spinner isn't a defensive move as such. It's a move which attempts to eliminate a player's 'go to' shot, and makes them think of other areas to score where they may not be so strong in.
