Dhoni content with part-time options at his disposal – Cricket News Update
Revelling in their victory over http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MS-Dhoni-c2028 is comfortable with a host of part-timers at his disposal, but highlighted the need to use them carefully.
Often criticized for his decision to play an extra batsman despite having the luxury of some of the best in business, the Men in Blue captain has usually played coy on whether his side will play five front-line bowlers.
Cricketing pundits had also voiced their concerns over the team’s decision to include a half-fit http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Yuvraj-Singh-c98364, who recently recovered from cancer, but Dhoni is very much his own man, and tends to do what he feels comfortable with.
However, following a massive win against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Harbhajan-Singh-c61453 another go against the Aussies.
What followed was a thumping win for the Kangaroos, and with elimination on the cards, Dhoni again resorted to his own preferred choice of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228, along with a host of part-timers in Yuvraj and Kohli for the crunch match against the Men in Green.
The latter two bowled six overs between them, and shared three scalps as http://www.senore.com/Cricket/South-Africa-c757 coming up, Dhoni again explained his ideal combination, but admitted that it always remains a gamble.
"It is a difficult one frankly, because at times I have seen [that if] you try to go for that one extra over and it goes for 20-25 runs, the whole analysis goes bad," Dhoni said.
"So, at times if you are comfortable with what is on the board, rather than gambling too much, what we decide is, if the specialist bowlers bowl, this is the amount of runs that they [the opposition] may score. If the part-timers have done their job there is no point in pushing them because errors can happen at any time. So I should be happy once they have bowled four good overs."
