Dhoni: The best????

The whole country's going ga ga over M.S.(Master Slogger) Dhoni and i'm not at all surprised cos we Indians do have very short memory spans. Well aren't we jumping the gun by calling Dhoni, the Adam Gilchrist of India. I mean look at Gilly, he's achieved so much and Dhoni has just started. Ok the guy is pretty good at making the bowlers dance to his tunes but has anyone ever realised that the 30 odd matches that he's played, he's played them only on the placid sub continental pitches where the bowlers get no help worth the name.

Gilly had an average of 32 in his first 30 odd games and a strike rate of 97, while Dhoni has an average of 51 and a strike rate of about 108. Well the figures are certainly impressive but also remember that he's never got to face quality pace or spin for that matter on pitches where bowlers rule the roost.

He's first gotta prove himself in places like SA, down under,England etc. and only then can only one tag him India's gilly. Lets not count our chickens before they hatch.
