Re: Loaded Topic…
All talks of captaincy aside, Dhoni just like all his predecessors has inherited a supremely and all naturally talented solid batting line up. These guys are just so talented and confident in their abilities to go down without putting a fight. While Pakistan despite going through all thick and thins in batting department has always managed to produce a world class and highly effective bowling unit. Pakistani batters are under severe scrutiny and fiercely criticised, and rightly so. However, I’m surprised that no one is talking about the elephant in the room - Pakistan’s bowling. Their trademark strength. I would imagine that any Pakistani cricket fan who’s been watching cricket for a long time would be worried and in fact, offended at the prospect of team lacking a start bowler, a lead wicket taker and just a genuinely threatening bowler who can put and sustain pressure on the opposition. The class, the style, the the swagger and the oomph factor is tragically missing from Pakistani bowling.
Not really, Dhoni removed batsmen /bowlerswho were not performing and brought in players whom he trusted were better. He made changes to team and brought better players, not necessarily friend-players whom he played in domestic with or someone who favored him in past.
