Dhoni's innovation backfired

After a poor total Dhoni took some very wild chance at the start of the Australian innings by opening the bowling with the spinners. One fail to understand what prompted him to do so as the pitch was not offering any form of assistance to the spinners. This was clearly evident from who destroyed the Indian batting. It was sheer accurate pace bowling of Johnson that shattered the Indian batting. So ideally Dhoni should have given the ball to RP Singh as he was a left hand er and so was Johnson.

Finally the one wicket which fell was taken by RP.It is good on the part of Dhoni to be different in his attack and aggression but the logic is questionable as the pitch was not a turner. By introducing the spinners Dhoni gave the Australians the easy way to negotiate the new ball and made the run chase more easy.

And finally one last comment on Harbajan. His batting was very irresponsible with so many overs left behind he had no business to swing his bat and throw his wicket. He has been repeating this mistake time and again but still not learning from his past mistakes. What is the team coach doing ?What are the selectors doing. Its time we introspect seriously about Harbajans .
