Leaving On Your Own terms

MS Dhoni has the smile of a man who is at peace with himself and the decisions he has made. The end of a chapter, but not the story.

A Take Away

You can fold it up and put it in your pocket - MS Dhoni is always going to have a go.

The Look

The Dhoni Slam

Uncommon Power

There is just something a bit different about MS Dhoni that makes watching him play a command performance.

No Shave And A Haircut

MS Dhoni makes a style statement but I am a bit worried about that glove. It looks a bit too Michael Jackson for my liking.

One Ball To Win It All

No description needed.

Get Thee Gone

The best batsman dismiss the ball from their presence.

Dhoni Gets On With It

It might be a yellow study but it is the Aussies who are green.

Ninety Bloody Nine!

Bad enough to be caught on the boundary, or you tickle one to the keeper; but run out one short must be one of the worst feelings in cricket.

Multi Talented

Batsman, keeper, captain, partnership breaker, it's all in a day's cricket for MS Dhoni.

When A Win Is Not Enough

The frustration reaches a level where you don't know which way to look - certainly not at the skipper!

Together At The End

Dhoni and Kohli share the moment while Guptil can only ponder what might have been if they could only have removed one of them.

"Excuse Me Sir...

... but I believe that ball is mine."

Bye Bye MS

They are a colourful and cheerful bunch, these Lankan Lads. Of course, watching MS Dhoni walk away is always going to put a smile on a fielding sides communal dial.

However You Cut It ...

... squares or circles, MS Dhoni is a player of power.

MS has been encircled using Perculator and Photoshop CS5.

Take Three!!!

MS Dhoni provides a colourful end to a tight one day battle.

Exit, Stage Right (Slowly)

Not a walk to oblivion for MS, just a little enforced time to reflect.

War And Peace

I make no moral judgements and leave you to draw your own conclusions.

Like Chalk And Cheese

It is hard to imagine two sides who's body language could be more different than England and India.

England are maturing like a fine cheese, India are crumbling like high quality chalk.

There can be few who could argue over who the better team is given that England is now able to win both home and away.
