West Indies Triangular Series in 2013 - Ind vs WI vs SL

[CEDYBLUE]

Missed the chase from 40 odd for 2, but went to bed with hope that with MSD in the batting order, India have a great chance in the chase. Woke up to the now customary headline how Iceman Dhoni has won it for India.

Excerpts from a nice read about Dhoni from Cricinfo, that sums up how fans like me feel about India's prospects in chases

"Dhoni is no doubt a badass finisher. He is one of India's finest ODI batsmen. And he is their most decorated captain. But his true contribution goes far deeper. He has managed to turn a fan base inured to close defeats and panicky collapses into a set that refuses to believe that a game is lost as long as he stays in.

There was a time when Indian fans turned off the TV when Tendulkar got out (and Dhoni too has admitted to having done the same when he watched the 2003 World Cup final). But the thinking these days seems to have been turned on its head, almost to a point where fans tune into a game when their captain walks in."
