MS Dhoni slapped with two-ODI ban

So what drama are we going to have now? India will order its Air Force to get ready to bomb ICC head quarters?

:slight_smile:

I was suspecting it but I was only expecting fines. I think he got ban because he was fined before too for same reason…


MS Dhoni slapped with two-ODI ban | Cricket News | India v Sri Lanka 2009/10 | Cricinfo.com

MS Dhoni, the Indian captain, has been banned for two ODIs because India maintained a slow over-rate during the second match against Sri Lanka in Nagpur. The ban is likely to be effective immediately, which means Dhoni will be unavailable for the games in Cuttack and Kolkata, returning only for the final ODI in Delhi.

The second ODI ended about 45 minutes after the scheduled finish time because of frequent discussions between the Indian players during the closing stages of Sri Lanka’s chase. The visitors won the game by three wickets to level the five-match series 1-1. The decision to ban Dhoni was taken by match referee Jeff Crowe.

Re: MS Dhoni slapped with two-ODI ban

He isn't above the law. I remember Inzi was banned once for the same reason.

Yes. I dont know whats wrong with the captains (specially desi captains). I m sure they know that ban is looming over them and they should try to make things tight.

Penalty of $$ is fine but ban is there :smack:

Now dhoni is not only the keeper of the team. He is captain and one of the best performing batsman and India is bound to suffer.

True, MSD has been in superlative form...but our bench strength in batting is pretty good :)
