Bravo to Dhoni,
OUT,
And Dhoni falls after a painful little knock. It was banged in short and outsdie off and Dhoni, actually played his best shot of the day. A shot full of intent. He rocked back to cut it hard and flat but couldn't clear the man stationed near the ropes at deep backward point. The captain is gone and Windies celebrate.
