England lost yet again the finals of a ODI tournament. Thanks to some senseless batting by them and absolute mastery by Dhoni's boys. Dhoni now become the king of Cricket with all the trophy in his hand smiley

Congratulations Team India, you were the only team to win all the matches in the tournament. You sent all of them packing smiley

Without scoring a run MS Dhoni orchestrated victory. He has rarely been lauded for the dexterity of his glovework but here he was whipping off bails with perfect judgment and timing to dispatch England's best and set India on course for another global trophy. And he never stopped plotting and planning, a calm beacon amid the wonderfully frenzied atmosphere of a packed Edgbaston. Dhoni knows how to win and he almost willed his irrepressible team over the line. http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2013/jun/23/ms-dhoni-india-england-champions-trophy

He is a mastermind, this guy. Did you read the article I linked?

Boy that was a big call. He has the sudden gut feeling that a great captain needs. Like he did in the first 20-20 WC by giving the ball to joginder. Than in 2011 he came up at 3. Hats off smiley

outlaw: He's not lucky, he's brave and ingenuous. 28 needed off 18. Any captain in that situation would have gone for his best bowler, and Dhoni had that option. But Dhoni knew that if he did that, the two set batsmen will not take any risk. They will play sensibly and win. So he goes with his weakest bowler, knowing that the batsmen will attack him to try and close the gap between runs and balls. The gamble paid off. It could have gone totally wrong but if he hadn't taken that risk then India would surely have lost.
