Dhoni needs to reconnect with his old self

If you have the world's best batting line-up, and your best bowler is on the comeback trail, why would you shoot yourself in the foot by going in with just four bowlers? ... Much of Dhoni's reputation rests on his occasional illogical and unexpected moves that turn out well. He is a gambler whose moves are put down to 'intuition' and 'feel', and when these succeed he is feted. In fact, he nearly had Kevin Pietersen's wicket when he came on to bowl, and had the batsman fallen who knows what turn the Test would have taken? Pietersen survived, thanks to the DRS, and went on to make a double century. [But] While flamboyant gestures sometimes come off, there is no substitute for straightforward cricket thinking.
