MS Dhoni. What utter arrogance. The lad was blocking and leaving deliveries when the run rate required was ballooning out over 11. With 6-7 overs to go, with a settled partnership, India should have closed that out but Dhoni was putting way too much pressure on Jadeja. Was the old prick playing for his average again?.
What pisses me off the most is that Dhoni would have been hailed a national hero if he pulled it off, and it always boils down to sacrificing his mates and having an arsey slog, which looks spectacular when it works and swept under when it doesn't.
The worst example that springs to mind is when he heaved Clint McKay straight to the man on the boundary off a front-foot no ball. Deadset bottled it but survived, hit's another six and suddenly he's god.
Today it was a 100 partnership and Jadeja contributed about 70 of it while taking every risk.
Dhoni might have hit a couple and been given all the credit, just like the '11 WC final.
Even now they're calling it a brave match-turning innings, if the greedy f**king plod wasn't constantly playing for himself there's dozens of games where they'd have coasted home.
