I'm no Dhoni apologist but the series was won - and an away series at that. Seems fairly pragmatic and similar to Smith yesterday

It would have Been a seriously easy victory from memory.

The pitch Was very flat and they had so many wickets in hand With just 4 an over to get.

Ishant Sharma reduces England to 65/6 at Lord's test 2011. Captain loses his brain, takes Sharma off and gives Suresh Raina a new spell.

Also, I have watched in many occasions Ishant Sharma bowling with the second new ball with no slip fielders. Not sure whether that was a captain's decision or the bowler's.

The pitch was anything but flat, everyone struggled to score runs in that test, highlighted by the fact that the highest RR was 3.20 in the 3 innings prior to the chase. India tried to send in Raina early to see if he can accelerate but he got out and 86 off 90 was pretty difficult on that pitch. Not to mention the fact that Dravid and Laxman aren't exactly the guys you want in a 5th day run chase.

Some gems in this list, for on-field wait-what moments. Off the field, any decision to stick to Ishant Sharma for a long term, especially after Dec 2012, is one, as also Dhoni's unusual knack of fitting in at least 3 T20I misfits or IPL/SMAT failures a game in every T20I squad. And his endorsement of a very obscure mobile phone brand that's almost vanished from the market and is barely visible.

Not Dhoni's fault, but BCCI's Dhoni moment would be when they renewed non-performing, misfit Duncan Fletcher's contract as head coach.
