MS Dhoni has asked for more patience to be shown with Indias inexperienced middle order after they couldnt complete a chase of 261 on a sluggish Ranchi pitch. Dhoni backed the young players to find their own method of finishing games, even if it meant going for big shots, referring to the dismissals of Manish Pandey and Hardik Pandya at a critical juncture. While Pandey lofted a slower ball from Tim Southee to mid-on, Pandyas inside-out strike off Mitchell Santner was pouched by Tom Latham at long-off, and with this wicket India had slipped from 128 for 2 to 167 for 7.Cricket has changed, people like to play big shots. It is important to not tell them to stop playing the shots; you dont want them to go into their shells, Dhoni said at the presentation ceremony. They played their shots when the ball was in their area. The Nos. 5 and 6 are quite new, they will learn their own way. Some will play big shots, some will take it deep. Once they have played 15-20 games, they will figure out what works for them.Dhonis post-match press conference was along the same lines; he reiterated the difficulty of batting down the order on such a sluggish pitch. Its important they get games like these and finally theyll figure out a way what suits them best to chase down a total like this, he said. Unless they get an opportunity like this it will be very difficult because thats how you get experience. You can learn a lot by watching but ultimately when you feel the pressure and go through that motion, thats where you learn a lot. It will be a good learning curve for them. Give them some time.Dhoni saw parallels with the defeat in Delhi, and said the loss of wickets in clumps hurt the team. He also hit out at Indias profligacy with the ball - they conceded 13 wides in the afternoon. I think it was the first 10 [overs] where we gave away a lot of runs and the extras, he said. The wicket was best to bat on in the afternoon, and it kept getting slower and slower. On a wicket like this when the score is not too much - we were not chasing anything over 6.5 or 7 runs an over - you need partnerships.Also, you need to realise that with two balls it initially comes on to the bat better and as the game progresses the wicket slows down and the ball doesnt come that well. Thats where it becomes difficult to freely rotate the strike.Indias innings received an early jolt after Rohit Sharma was dismissed in the fifth over. But, the chase was kept on track by Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane, who put on 79 runs for the second wicket. However, once Kohli was caught behind attempting to cut Ish Sodhi, Indias innings fell apart. Dhoni disagreed with the suggestion that Indias chases were overly dependent on Kohli.If you see the last one to one and a half years, we havent played a lot of ODI cricket, he said. In between we had Zimbabwe, we had three games so… I can say that the stats actually dont reflect the exact scenario because also in that period I have batted at a different position and our top order was batting brilliantly. So everything is very different. Just in this series, if you see, there have been a couple of games where the wicket was on the slower side.Its when the wickets are slow and when the required run rate is not high, you calculate and at times you play out a few overs thinking if you have a partnership at this moment, with more wickets in hand in the last few overs, you can look to chase down something thats even seven to seven and a half [runs per over]. We have got quite a few batsmen who can do the job. Its just that we have to give them more time. Batting down the order is one of the toughest things to do. You dont get a [ready-made] player whos complete, who bats at No. 5, 6 or 7, all the time.

After taking two big hits this week -- losing at home and dropping back-to-back games for the first time all season -- Indiana struck back by playing its most complete game of the year. SAN DIEGO -- There werent any surprises on Tuesday when Boston Red Sox knuckleballer Steven Wright got a second opinion on his balky right shoulder. But there also wasnt any guarantee that Wright will pitch again this season.Wright met with Los Angeles-based orthopedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who confirmed the diagnosis of the Red Sox medical staff that the right-hander has inflammation in his throwing shoulder but no structural damage.Its definitely peace of mind more than anything, because having two doctors explain to you the same exact thing from looking at the same MRI, its definitely encouraging, Wright said. Now its just a matter of tolerating the pain and taking it day by day and not getting too far ahead of ourselves.Wright was cleared to resume throwing as a result of the confirmation, when the soreness in his shoulder subsides, according to Red Sox manager John Farrell. When that might be and whether Wright will make another start before the end of the season has not been determined.I dont have that answer yet, Farrell said.Wright was upbeat at the prospect of returning.If it happens, great, Wright said. Im not going to say yes and know that Im going to pitch, because I dont know. Hopefully, but you never know.Wright was slated to start Tuesday nightt against the San Diego Padres at Petco Park.ddddddddddddBut he suggested last weekend that he had been pitching at about 50 percent in two starts since returning from the freak injury, which occurred when he dove back into second base and jammed his shoulder in a pinch-running appearance Aug. 7 at Dodger Stadium. Wright has allowed nine runs on 14 hits in 10 innings over his past two starts.According to Farrell, ElAttrache gave no indication that Wright did more damage to his shoulder by returning too soon.The fact is, theres no further injury, which again we were confident in the initial diagnosis that there wasnt anything structural that was going to hinder or prevent him from pitching or put him in a position where he was doing additional harm, Farrell said. Thats not denying hes still feeling the effects from that in the last two outings. Weve just got to let it quiet down.With Wright unable to pitch, Clay Buchholz returned to the rotation in his place Tuesday night.Before the injury, Wright was in the midst of his career-best season, even earning a spot on the American League All-Star team. In 24 starts, he is 13-6 with a 3.33 ERA. ' ' '
