Dhoni was not perturbed that he has given opportunity to his men, selected in place of veterans such as Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid, in conditions as difficult as in Australia.
Dhoni said "If we are looking for a team for 2011 World Cup, it's important that we have guys who have played 80-100 matches by then. I think this is the team I wanted"
The wicketkeeper-batsman said he picked Manoj Tiwary by instinct ahead of Suresh Raina even though the Bengal youngster arrived in Australia only yesterday.
Dhoni felt his bowlers did not bowl the first two overs well and his side could have also done better in the field.
Batting first in overcast conditions may have raised a few eyebrows and Dhoni admitted the decision could have gone either way.
As for his own innings, Dhoni felt if he had got out cheaply, the side could have been bundled out for 150-160 runs.
The Indian captain is not upset that Australian fans in the stands are giving Harbhajan Singh a hard time.

yes he is right.This is the team he wanted.but we don't want a batsman like him.
But remember about 20-20 da.overconfidence will never pay
Dhoni is flying too high. Its high time he is brought to the ground. He is a bit overconfident because of the fact that he is the captain. I think, the selectors should do a rethink and appoint some senior player like Sourav as captain. Dhoni is not in form at all and he has no rights to comment on the team.
Do you have copy writer for so good articles? If so please give me contacts, because this really rocks! :)
