Dhoni i think acted the right way completely. One could argue that the decision to let Bell bat should have been taken on the pitch, but probably after reviewing it on tv, realisation that perhaps they got the wrong end of the stick sunk in and changed their minds.
To be honest, the only people I do have a problem with is Strauss and Flower. They should not have gone to the Indian dressing room and seek a change. Things like that shouldn't be forced and I think they behaved in the wrong way. Almost seems like they pressured them into making the decision that they wanted, like a bully. It would be interesting to know what would have happened had they not gone down. I believe that the decision to let Bell carry on batting would still have been made, however the fact the 2 England chiefs went down does take some gloss off Dhoni and the entire Indian team's good nature, which is naturally wrong.
Well done India
