[QUOTE=PeterGriffin;589316]I think it was a moral victory for India as Aussies were wary of the Indian middle-order especially with Kohli, Rahane and even Dhoni (in his one-day mode) could be devastating. Moreover, Steven Smith showed his defensive captaincy. I think India would go to Sydney with a ...

[QUOTE=farfromhome;589334]It's funny to watch Arnab questioning Dhoni's retirement and saying that he is selfish and all that. If you have any grudges against BCCI, take it there. Why on Dhoni?. I hope someday Arnab announces sudden retirement from Journalism :)[/QUOTE] It is funny indeed. If ...
