Dhoni misses the Dusshera point

'Captain cool' MSD have lost it. Many would say it was a strategical error but I feel it was a logical error and a lack of out-of-the-box thinking that left India in the corner after their suspended match against Australia yesterday.

Desperate times ask for desperate action and MSD should have taken a leaf out of Paddy Upton's book and should have done some head scratching before going into the match.

Or how else would you explain Dhoni's decision to go with a squad like that on the eve of Dusshera and Dasami, the day when the Ram slayed Ravana and Durga returned back to her husband Maha Dev Shiv's residence.

If you remember correctly, Dhoni had the correct recipe to slay this Ricky 'Ravana' Ponting and his 10 heads. The only thing he needed to do was to bring on the mythological characters of Indian cricket.

Say a (VVS) 'LAXMAN' and (Sridharan) 'SRI RAM' in the opening slot would have given the Ricky-avanas a nightmare.

Bring 'SHIV' (sundar Prasad) and (Dinesh) 'KARTHICK', (Dodda) 'GANESH' and And then 'LAXMI' (Ratan Shukla) next and you would have had a perfect Mythological team which would have surely attained divine powers on the holy day of Dusshera.

So there you realize now what a blunder MSD did. They were there all the while but it's only that our captain cool missed the point.

Hilarious. I think instead of distributing sex dossier, Kirstens and Uptons should have distributed mini-Ramayanas among the players.
