Probably.

But on the evidence of the last test, you’d have to say that India, and Sehwag, would much prefer a fit Dhoni in the hot seat.

India don’t need to win this test, but do they really want to travel to New Zealand for only one win.

Sehwag’s captaincy, (which had all the hallmarks of a born again Christian coach pulling the strings behind him) was horrible.

No one wants to see that again.

Well Kiwis probably do.

India seem to be a flat average team the minute Dhoni isn’t in charge.

Against Sri Lanka, Australia and New Zealand, India have looked much toothless without him.

New Zealand’s best chance (read only chance) to win, is if Dhoni is out.

I missed it.

Give me the goss.

What did he bowl?

Were the any scares?

Was his waddle hynotic?

Tell me….

Is Yuvraj a pie chucker, well no, he is more of a doorknob distributor.

That is splitting hairs, but an interesting distinction.

Ms Dhoni did a clever thing by bringing on the doorknob distributor.

He had a spell over KP, and it was a clever tactic.

Thing is, KP is one of those.

Those who need extra stimuli to play better.

The piechucker comments are part of that for him, he wants Yuvraj to come back at him.

KP does his best work when he feels like the world hates him.

He is a sick man.

And not just because he is South African.

Ofcourse all this means fuck all in this drawn test match.

We should be thankful for the piechuckergate though, because if this test match was abandoned a couple of days ago, it might have taken most of us a couple of days to notice it had happened.

Today they will go through the motions again.

And the “series” will finish without a bang, or a woo hoo, or a yee ha.

And congratulations to Gotham City, playing a whole test on qualudes is something special.

What the hell is going on with India.

They have just one an important series, they have just got their dream captain, and they are 3 zip up in this series.

Other places may be full of joy happiness and love ins.

Not India.

Dhoni was so pissed that Rp Singh was going to be assed for Irfan Pathan, he apparently offered his resignation.

How do we know this, because it leaked.

How much more angry did this make Dhoni, lots more angry.

Dhoni probably wasn’t really resigning, he was probably just trying to make a point.

But now his and the selectorial business is all out in the open.

This is not how successful teams behave.

This is for teams that are falling apart at the seams.

Get it together India, selection squabbles should only come out years alter when big book deals have been signed.

Long time readers may well acquainted with the In bed with… series. If not, feel free to browse other titles in the collection. Jacques Kallis, Monty, Mike Hussey, Daniel Vettori, and Shane Watson.

But remember these are adults only, as children should be shielded from sex at all costs, because it is not a natural part of life.

You hear about him before you see him, he doesn’t have much of a reputation, but there is a buzz about him.

But then after a drunken night you find yourself in a closet with him, and while he doesn’t move the way you would like, he gets the job done.

The quickies are fun with him, and you decide he could be a keeper.

So you set about planning a long term relationship with him, but he doesn’t perform for you at all, at times he has trouble even getting erect.

You figure the long term serious stuff is not his thing, so you break it off.

Occasionally you text a young guy, and there are still the odd rendezvous with your favourite classy old man.

But there is something about MS, maybe it’s the hair, and you can’t discard him so easily.

You have fun with him, and more than often he gets you off, you can’t really argue with that.

He keeps calling and calling, and eventually you fall for him again, this time it’s by his terms, and then you’re in an ongoing casual thing with him.

With him in charge it all goes great, but you still think you may want more, but he has nothing of it, and even though not everything runs smoothly, you trust his judgement.

Then your relationship goes back to the quickie mode, usually you’d be disappointed with the frivolous nature, but you are besotted by him now.

Usually you’d need two other beaus at once to feel this excited, but you haven’t returned the calls of Partiv in ages, and Anil can no longer get you there.

You have decided Dhoni is going to be your guy, but the constant speed gets to him, he needs a break.

It cuts you deep, and you doubt whether he is going to be there in the long run.

You continue seeing the older gentleman and even the younger guy, even though you know it isn’t the same.

Dhoni gets jealous by this and comes back out of the woodwork, now he seems fit and hungry, and he is even willing to do things with you that you cannot believe.

At first these strange erotic things worry you, but in his soft hands you feel secure.

However now he seems calmer and more mature, might be the new hair, and you let him be in charge anyway he wants to.

When you first feel that silk scarf around your neck, ever tightening, you start to panic, but he puts you at ease, and by the end, you and him fall deeper in love.

You know he is the man for you, your heart skips a beat every time he waddles in your direction.
