Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta

Well played MSD, with all that talk about an all time ODI XI going on around CC, he's certainly doing his reputation justice.
I would take Hussey, on the basis that he can actually score deliberately on the offside

So true, calls about Dhoni not being fit by that bloke in the eng vs ind thread looks stupid now. Playing such an innings in Chennai makes it even better considering the humidity

It looked stupid even then in all honesty. Dhoni is one of the most fittest cricketers in world cricket. People sure like judging based on how a player looks rather than how they actually are. Just cuz Dhoni's got a bit of a belly he's automatically "unfit".

Yep, Dhoni's the best builder (for the lack of a better word) of an innings since Tendulkar I've seen. With him you always know he's in control, even when he's like 20 off 60 or something like that.

Need some early wickets on this wicket if it continues seaming/swinging.

Otherwise don't see us having that much of a chance with our bowling attack.

Though having said that Pakistani batting doesn't inspire confidence either.
