Dhoni not happy with umpires using ear piece

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is not at all pleased with the use of some of the umpiring devices like ear-piece which he feels prevents the on-field official from hearing snicks and edges in a packed stadium.
Bangladeshi umpire SIS Saikat failed to detect a nick from Khurram Manzoor's bat off Ashish Nehra's bowling and the Indian captain wasn't happy about it.
Asked about umpiring, a sarcastic Dhoni said,"You don't want me to get banned before World T20. You have all seen umpiring. It's your call."
"One thing certainly should be done. Umpires now use walkie talkies as well as wear ear piece in one ear which effectively means they are umpiring with one ear. It's a difficult job. One needs to consider this. They are hearing with one ear. I believe there is no point having a ear piece when the bowler is bowling as you don't need to use it then. It's better to use both ears as a lot of things might happen on field," the skipper said at the post match press conference.

Dhoni was in a mood to take dig at match officials as another innocuous question about his tips to bowlers caught on stump microphone was asked.
"It's very interesting you know. Match referees say that microphone is off when there is a situation of one guy from one team saying something to the other guy. But it is very strange that whenever I say something, they always catch it.

(REOPENS DEL 19)
Pointing out that India had played less one-day matches in the last one and half months, Dhoni said: "We have not played much ODIs. In between we had Zimbabwe. It's very difficult.

"Also I've batted at different position in that period. Our top order was batting brilliantly. So everything is very different."
Dhoni pointed out that the pitch was sluggish and slowed down, drawing parallel to the Delhi ODI where New Zealand won by six runs, defending 242 in the second one-dayer.
"There have been a couple of game where the wicket has been on the slower side, where the opposition, if they scored 300-plus there's more often you keep playing your shots to chase it down," he said.
"When the wickets are slow, and required run-rate is not too high, that's when you calculate and play out a few overs thinking of a partnership. I feel that's where it lies as of now. We have quite a few batsmen who can do the job."

India had lost opener Rohit Sharma (11) cheaply for the team's score of 19 but Rahane and Kohli put life into the chase with a 79-run partnership for the second wicket.
"The partnership was needed more than anything else at that point of time. Given the requirement of the game, he was batting well and generally he bats in that fashion. I don't think there was anything wrong in it," Dhoni said.
