Coming to cricket, former Australian Test batsman Mark Waugh has criticized Indian Captain MS Dhoni for his defensive tactics. According to The Telegraph, Waugh said that rather than attacking the opposition, Dhoni waits for them to make a mistake. He said that India do play well in their country but abroad they should be ranked much lower than they actually are right now. He also criticized the Indians body language and their attitude on the field.
