Nah you don't. And that's why it's not an argument.Surely I don't have to state why I'd pick Gilly over Dhoni again?

Sorry to try and have a bit of banter. Go on discussing Dhoni.Nah you don't. And that's why it's not an argument.
Sanath + Dhoni >> Gilly + Bevan.Surely I don't have to state why I'd pick Gilly over Dhoni again?
The question is whether Sanath + Dhoni > Sanath + GillySanath + Dhoni >> Gilly + Bevan.
Considering I don't rate Bevan anywhere nearly as highly as some others, I'd agree.Sanath + Dhoni >> Gilly + Bevan.
No, In a team, you pick either Sanath + Dhoni or Gilly + Bevan.The question is whether Sanath + Dhoni > Sanath + Gilly
It's perfectly okay to have Gilly coming in where Dhoni does. Question is, who would be better in that position? Not an easy one to answer.No, In a team, you pick either Sanath + Dhoni or Gilly + Bevan.
Dear God. It's one thing to rate Gilchrist as a package better then Dhoni (personally I think you're wrong to do so) but then put Dhoni down so much by picking "most other middle order batsmen" over Dhoni as well is another thing whatsoever and clearly being blinkered to Dhoni's status.Considering I don't rate Bevan anywhere nearly as highly as some others, I'd agree.
However..
Gilchrist + Hussey/most other middle order batsmen >> Jayasuriya/Dhoni
Well that's an assumption, right? Mostly he played as an opener, of course he has everything he needs but that's not always enough.It's perfectly okay to have Gilly coming in where Dhoni does. Question is, who would be better in that position? Not an easy one to answer.
I wasn't putting Dhoni down at all. I rate him incredible highly. I just think as a package Gilchrist opening and keeping (and he is a better keeper than Dhoni) along with someone like Hussey (or you could even add Lara or Ponting down the order if you want), is better than Jayasuriya and Dhoni, and would get better results for the team.Dear God.

Not to spinners. I would probably play both in the XI though.(and he is a better keeper than Dhoni)
