NEWS India-Pakistan Series 2006> 'Dhoni is murderous', says Inzamam 21st Feb 2006  20.40 IST By Agencies   Having suffered from his blade in the just-concluded series, Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq today described Mahendra Dhoni as "murderous" and a player to be watched in the 2007 World Cup. The Indian wicket-keeper, who blasted away 219 runs in the four innings of the five-match series at a stupendous strike rate of 137, "is safe behind the wickets and can be compared with Adam Gilchrist though the Australian has proved himself as the best after years in commission,” Inzamam is quoted in an interview with a news agency. On a high following his team's brilliant performances in the past one year, Inzamam finds himself to be the target of criticism after losing the ODI series by a comprehensive 4-1 to India. Suddenly his tactics and everything else he did during the series are being faulted. But the burly Pakistani is unruffled as he always is at the crease. His team lost to a much superior foe, he admits. Is he angry? "I control my anger. If someone drops a catch and I get angry, will that catch come back to us? It won't. Therefore it is better to be cool because that helps in better performance", he said. Also View In-Depth Coverage: India-Pakistan Series 2006 Team Page: India Team Page: Pakistan
