Former Australia player Michael Hussey feels former India skipper MS Dhoni strategically reads the game slightly better than Australia's World Cup winning captain Ricky Ponting.
Michael Hussey was part of Australia squad which won three ICC tournaments the 2007 World Cup and the 2006 and 2009 Champions Trophy under Ponting and also played a key role in MS Dhoni led CSK's IPL success.
"If we had the worst nets in the world that we have to practice on, he (Ricky Pointing) will be the first one into the net and show that it's okay. He really leads from the front and he certainly backs his players 100%. That's probably where the similarity is with MS Dhoni," Hussey added.
"MS is a lot calmer. A lot more measured. And I would say he strategically reads the game slightly better than Ricky. Ricky was a good tactician as well. Fantastic, but the way MS makes some moves out there in the field, I'll be sort of thinking "where’s he going with this?” Inevitably it might work. How did this come from? He just backs his gut feel. Two different captains but both very effective in their own ways," Hussey explained.
