Controlling emotions
Right from the day he entered the international cricket, I never liked Dhoni, the cricketer – primarily due to his below par wicket keeping and lately due to the hype and his attempts to hog limelight ignoring the likes of Sachin and Dravid.
Whoever reads this may have a first thought to kill/bash me or rate me a cynic or fool or something else, but I openly supported WI and England in the last two matches and the moment India lost, I was celebrating causing irritation to my roomie and my neighbors.
However, I have to salute the way Dhoni handled the post-match conversation – controlling emotions and speaking with a smile. I like Dhoni the person, as seen on TV during matches and interviews – there are some qualities I would like to learn from him, the above scenario being the one – “Talking without showing any trace of actual state of mind in face or tone”.
Kudos to Dhoni.

Yet another underrated/ignored achievement
I wish people recognize it at least when he crosses the mark. It is a notable achievement considering that Gavaskar’s total was once the highest.
One mistake
One mistake in the end can ruin the effort a person has put in for years.
We have many examples from the past to prove this. But, people can’t resist their temptations and greediness for that one extra thing.
The latest to prove is Inzamam-UL-Haq.
If he has not tempted for that silly shot -
1.He would have scored that extra 3 runs to put Miandad behind and become the highest test run getter for Pak.
2. The career average would not have slipped below 50
3. If he has stayed till end and saved the match, people will have remembered him for a long time than they may as of now.
4. If Pak loses this match, people will forget the number of matches he has won single-handedly for his country and the number of matches he has saved.
