Not even excited this year. Looks like will be final one for MS dhoni
If he is playing this one then he will play in April next year too..
Australia's limited-overs tour of England - comprising three T20Is and three ODIs - will take place in September, the England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed. This tour was initially slated to take place in July, but that wasn't possible due to the spread of coronavirus all over the world. With England successfully hosting West Indies and now Pakistan, the two boards have come to the consensus on having the tour in September.
 
The T20Is will kick-off the tour, on September 4, September 6 and September 8 in Southampton before moving south to Manchester for the three ODIs, on September 11, September 13 and September 16. As per the UK government's guidelines, Australia are one of the countries from where you can travel to UK and not have any quarantine period on arrival.
 
Australia Squad:
Aaron Finch ©, Sean Abbott, Ashton Agar, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins (vc), Josh Hazlewood, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh, Glenn Maxwell, Riley Meredith, Josh Philippe, Daniel Sams,Kane Richardson, Steven Smith, Mitchell Starc,Marcus Stoinis, Andrew Tye, Matthew Wade, David Warner, Adam Zampa.
Just in time for players to be free for ipl. Bcci still rules cricket world.

Oh man, really wished he played for India one last time before calling it out. 

 

One of the greatest captain ever, a legend indeed. Just wished the ending was a sweet one too.

He was never a man of farewells though. Still remember how he retired from test cricket

Another great batsmen. If only he managed to play those short balls his career would have been different

Contrary to popular belief, he might not have been a man of farewell, was apt enough to know how to always be in limelight, while acting he wasn't trying to be :p

 

So except SRT none of the recent greats got a farewell. Well with Dhoni we still have IPL, his arena.

Didn't like dhoni in his latter years but can't deny that he is one of the legends on indian cricket. Goodbye captain cool and may bcci honor his legacy by giving the captaincy to hitman in place of the current chimpanzee we have.

I hope you do know the person you are calling chimpanzee is the best batsman in the world and a highly successful captain. Just because Sharma was successful with mumbai indians doesn't means he has the chops for international captaincy. Plus he isn't even a sure shot selection in test matches where the ball swings a little and Sharma forgets where his off stump is. He is only suited for white ball cricket where he rules.

High time Dhoni retired. Should have done it earlier. Achieved all he could have achieved and beyond. Will be tough to replace him as the best Indian keeper + finisher. SRT received the farewell cos there has never been someone like him in Indian cricket who carried a billion hopes alone. Can't see that happening for anyone else.

Word.

 

Both Kumble and Ganguly retired on their own terms in a good way.

That 2nd best cricketer actually helped Dhoni to reach Finals. The 2nd best cricketer was the top scorer for India in 2011 world cup. India didn't play final match at the beginning lol.

I think I went from super-liking Dhoni at some point to hating him completely (in his late years) because of the grip he built using CSK clout and then being hypocritical about things he used to expect from senior players but not following them when hie was in the spot.

 

He was an eyesore as Test Batsman. And to make this worse he used to comment & berate "technique" as if it was some kind of untouchable object.

 

But that is not what Dhoni should be remembered for. His legacy will be to come from a small town and making it big, a brave journey from a Train Ticket Collector to the world champion, winning World Cup and some.
