This one nipped back quite sharply to come close to the body and got his glove. If it had maintained its natural path it was an easy leave. The sharp turn was quite unexpected. It would have got any batsman out.

Point taken..
M.S. Dhoni joined Mohammad Azharuddin at second place in the list of India's most successful Test captains after the win in Kingsmead.
The victory was Dhoni's 14th in 23 Tests. He has lost three and drawn six. Azharuddin had 14 victories from 47 Tests in charge. Sourav Ganguly leads the list with 21 wins from 49 Tests (13 losses, 15 draws).
“It means I've got a good side,” said Dhoni, asked what the record meant.
“What it means is that we've played consistent cricket over a period of time. We started this process around September 2008 and two years hence we're in a position where we can say we have done well in most places.
“Of course it's a proud moment. As a team whether it's batting, bowling or fielding we've done consistently well.”
“We've taken some good catches despite not being a brilliant ground-fielding side. It feels really good that we've done well together.”
When told that his winning percentage was the fourth best among captains with at least 20 Tests (only Steve Waugh, Sir Donald Bradman, and Ricky Ponting have a better ratio of wins to Tests), Dhoni asked in jest, “So I should retire?”
“What I want is my team to respect me, not anything else,” he added.
“There can be a situation where the team is doing well and the captain is labelled as doing a good job. I'm fortunate to have people who are willing to go onto the field and do their best.”
