Though I am from chennai, I am finding it really hard to support CSK in this league. Reason: Dhoni. The aura that sorrounds this guy who can’t connect a decent hit to the stand is irritating to say the least. And as someone pointed out, asinine judgement like the one of giving Joginder sharma even a place in the T20 team. For all this nonsense about him being cool under pressure (which is probably right), he gets the basics of wicketkeeping and batting wrong every single time, pressure or no pressure.

The guy who bought this player for $1.5 million must have been smoking weeds.

I am not fan of Dhoni or his “hot hand” theory.

In computer networks, there is something called “hot potato” routing – i.e. use the same route for a given destination until the route fails.
But it is important to estimate the best route first.

For Dhoni that best route calculation is his intuition based on his limited experience, which can be wrong.

For e.g. I never understood Joginder Sharma bowling the last over in a T20. Finally, he was taken to the cleaners.

Update: Chennai made 4 changes in a desperate measure. OUT – Parthiv, Ntini, Joginder & Aniruddha, IN – L Balaji, Amarnath, Vidyut & Kapugedera (just drafted in from SL). A totla mess of a half a dozen run outs means the Superkings chase 188. May be a tough ask. Let us see.

Sad day for International cricket

Gavaskar resigns as Chairman of ICC cricket committee

Arjuna Ranatunga will be an ideal replacement approved by the sub-continentals

But then Mumbai Indians could sign him up as a replacement for S R Tendulkar!!

How about dropping ntini and bringing amarnath back? Ntini has been very ineffective and whatever runs gony was saving, ntini was giving away.
