Sad to see Dhoni talked about this way. His first few years in international cricket were phenomenal, never would have thought he'd have an issue with scoring too slowly for such a huge chunk of his career

I knew someone will diss the IPL as soon as I made the comment. Bowlers worse than Axar have bowled last overs in internationals.

International Vice-Captain
He is still doing ok in ODIs though a shadow of the player he once was. He takes time to get in which would work well lot of time in ODIs, though not always.
The issue with him is in T20s (more so in T20Is) where he does not rotate the strike enough. Skillful bowlers can pin him down.
Dhoni came into the team and stayed for so long on sheer merit. Till he came in, India never had a wicket keeper batsman like him. Sadly that is all past. He is rightly flayed for continuing in T20Is at least. There is no point in playing a 'well past it 37 year old' in the shortest format.

It's not about dissing - fact of matter is that the bowling (and batting for that matter) quality in IPL is not of international standard - it's just better than the other leagues out there.
Finch earned himself a baggy green on Australia's tour of the UAE, and his Test debut went to plan as he scored 62 and 49 in his side's gutsy draw.Finch
Awful summer he's having. Hopefully he doesn't play himself out of the WC somehow.
However, in the 19 international fixtures since - four Tests, six ODIs and nine T20Is - Finch has scored 317 runs at 13.78 in 23 innings, with one fifty.
Average of 13. thats glenn mcgrath levels.

Really weird captaincy by Finch, Behrendorff bowls 1 less over (1-17 off 3), taken by short who went for 19 runs off his 3rd over...I think Finch is mentally destroyed after pretending to be a Test match opener...with his current record over last 6 months, how is he still in the side, never mind being captain?

Will laugh if Maxwell is still at no.7 for the ODIs. Should be batting 3 or 4.

I reckon he should float. Has the pads on to bat four, but if there's a decent start he goes in at three. If they lose two quick wickets and it's hooping, he gets held back. Obviously, if they're chasing a big target, he would go in as early as possible.
Finch is a massive concern now. Used to cop a lot of undeserved **** on here even in LO formats, but he's genuinely lost the plot completely. Needs a week in Fiji to unwind ahead of the WC
