[GotSpin]

Braithwaite bowling...joy

Hardik has turned in Buttler for this WC, wtf

For those watching - has Dhoni struggled to put bat on ball so far or is he genuinely defensive? He needs to redeem himself in last 5 overs.

Anyone rate Assad Fudadin and Lendl Simmons for middle order batsman for Windies

Idk how you'd describe "defensive". "Lacking any sort of fluency", I'd say. Can't pick gaps.

**** off Dhoni

He needs to redeem himself in last 5 overs. Awesomeness of Indian bowling saved him last match.

It was Afghanistan...

 

[trundler]

Dhoni is back!

 

[slippy888]

I said 280 was the total lol

Haha yeah but they defended 224 on a perfectly decent pitch. You need to bowl bloody well to do that even against Afghanistan.

Ganguly is right about pandya being a relative legside hack. Probably west indies have figured it out too.

 

[mr_mister]

Holder giving Braithwaite a t20 four over spell with the ball lol. I guess he's mainly in the team now to biff more runs like last time

 

[OverratedSanity]

Dhoni's literally playing the exact innings he's played so often over the last few years. Slow the innings down to a crawl, hit a few 4s towards the end to bring his strike rate up to something which looks acceptable (but actually isn't in the period of the innings he's batted) and his stats will not suffer. Good on him.

 

[slippy888]

It time for Dhoni to play some shots now surely

 

[harsh.ag]

Full toss guided for a single. It's this kind of thing which is infuriating about Dhoni.

Maybe he wants another 10 runs for the 50

 

[trundler]

Laaaaame

This is why I think Dhoni shouldn't be at number 6 these days. I think he'll do a better job than Shankar at no. 4. Rohit Sharma says Dhoni should bat at no. 4 and I'm not surprised as Rohit knows much more than Kohli about captaincy.

Dhoni is rubbish at rotating the strike. I don't think he'd make a much better number 4 than a 6.
