Oh and saying irrational **** just because you're frustrated isn't an excuse. I will still call you out on it.
Think you probably need to move on now.

Of course the criticism for his series batting was fair enough, he was not scoring. But you're allowed to be out of touch at his age and with just over a year of test experience.

i didn't criticize him even once.
i stayed quiet as i knew he'd get back to scoring runs eventually.

but people had every right to say had been quite a failure this series, especially considering that india had been losing comprehensively at home just like overseas.

An average of 38 is far too good for Dhoni. He's ****.

Don't think he was in poor form either. He was just throwing his wicket away by playing loose shots.

Didn't think about it, but yeah this is the 2nd time Dhoni has put himself up the order in an important Indian match with a lot of pressure on him. Completely forgot he promoted himself in the WC final.

Dhoni averages 66 at 6 in 10 matches. Averages 32 at 7.

Don't think him batting at 7 has anything to do with his failures.

Won't stop Ravi Shastri from suggesting he should bat there from now on. Classic Shastri
