MS Dhoni was named captain of the World ODI Team of the Year for the second year running at the ICC Awards in Johannesburg.
Thats a good news for us ! Atleast he got the chance to lead the World ODI team. Indians must be happy with this news. - Digital -
I do not find anything wrong with his judgment in CT. Second match was washed out and India won the last match convincingly. Regarding the match against Pakistan, what can he do if the bowlers are bowling every ball with horrible line? He can only set a field and inspire the bowlers. He cannot get inside the bowler and start bowling. If every player is playing poorly, all the blame should not go to the captain. Dhoni has been selected as the captain for both the Word Test and ODI Team of the Year because of his consistent performance as a captain.
Dhoni also repeated the mistake of sending an inexperienced batsman like Virat Kohli at number 4 like he sent Ravindra Jadeja high up the order in the ICC World Twenty20 in England. Then, Jadeja simply did not have the experience and the range of shots to get the ball away and here again young Kohli was struggled to get the board moving at the pace that Indians needed.
given the looser that dhoni is. i doubt the world xi will win. all he knows is to come on adds. playing cricket is history.
Is that the same ICC awards that named AUS Mitchell Johnson as their cricketer of the year award? Heard about that and was very suprised at the dicision as he is good and improving but not sure about the best?
