Clash of the titans, Dhoni vs Bevan

[Jono]

I think Dhoni should get dismissed more in ODI cricket. Then he can get the people who think he is selfish off his back.

 

[smash84]

then they will say that he throws away his wicket

 

[Jono]

Yeah but that makes you a team man:

Pretty impressive figures for Dhoni. Surprising to see viv's average as captain. It's 10 points lower than his career average!

Viv was ODI captain from 1980?

Yeah but that makes you a team man:

good one.

What's wrong with his eyes? Is Gilly high in this pic or something?

Dhoni promotes himself ahead of Raina to get a cheeky 10 not out and inflate that average further

 

[ankitj]

10 not out is what he got.

...

Since the end of the 2011 World Cup, Dhoni has played 27 ODI innings, scored 1166 runs, and averaged 83.28 at a strike rate of 92.39. The average has been helped along by 13 not-outs, but even allowing for that, these are amazing numbers: in these 27 innings he has gone past 50 on 11 occasions, and scored a century when coming in to bat at 29 for 5 in seaming conditions against a potent Pakistan attack.

As of this moment Dhoni averages more than Bevan. 53.59 vs 53.58

 

[ankitj]

Not anymore. LOL.

Dhoni's better now, guys, miright?

 

[hendrix]

He's been better for a long time, IMO.

Dhoni is the third name I would like to have in an ODI batting line-up after Sachin and Sir Vivian.
