id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> Netflix [/tags/netflix/ Netflix] original documentaries and docuseries have been knocking it out of the park lately. Not only did Netflix win best documentary feature at the [/news/oscars-best-picture-winners-on-netflix/ Academy Awards] last year -- for [https://soulofcricketer.blogspot.com/2020/06/indian-cricketer-stuart-binny-wife.html %https://soulofcricketer.blogspot.com/2020/06/indian-cricketer-stuart-binny-wife.html%] Icarus -- it's also been nominated six additional times in that category since 2014. Here are some of the best documentaries and docuseries to stream this weekend. Documentary featuresFyre: The Greatest Party That Never Happened Stream on [ Netflix] By now you've heard plenty of debate over whether you should watch the [/news/netflix-or-hulu-which-fyre-festival-documentary-you-should-watch/ Hulu or Netflix Fyre Festival documentary]. Pro tip: Abandon all your responsibilities in life and just watch both. OK, I understand that isn't the most realistic option. So my vote is for the Netflix one. I found it to have the most insight into the logistics of what went wrong, which I find very fascinating. They'll Love Me When I'm Dead Stream on [ Netflix] Orson Welles spent years trying to get enough money to complete The Other Side of the Wind, a mockumentary style film about a Hollywood director played by the late director John Huston. Upon Welles' death in 1985, the film spent decades in limbo. Fortunately, the rights were acquired in 2014 by Royal Road Entertainment and director Peter Bogdanovich helped to complete the film, which [ premiered] on Netflix this year. But perhaps even more fascinating than watching the actual film itself is this documentary on the making of the film. It's narrated by Alan Cumming and filled with interviews from those involved with the making of The Other Side of the Wind. This documentary is quite a wild ride and a must watch for any Orson Welles fans, or those who want a deeper look into the complexities of trying to get a film made in Hollywood. Orson Welles and Peter Bogdanovich in the Neflix documentary They'll Love Me When I'm Dead Netflix Quincy Stream on [ Netflix] Quincy is a very enjoyable documentary on legendary record producer Quincy Jones. Directed by Alan Hicks and Quincy's daughter, Rashida Jones, the film repeatedly hammers home the fact that none of us will ever be as cool as Quincy. From Quincy's work with Frank Sinatra, to scoring countless hit films, to producing musical masterpieces like Michael Jackson's Thriller album, it's hard not to watch the documentary and wonder how Jones managed to accomplish so much in his career. Hint: He's incredibly talented. The Bleeding Edge Metacritic score: [ 74] Stream on [ Netflix] Documentary film fans are probably already familiar with director Kirby Dick's work. From his investigation of the MPAA in This Film Is Not Yet Rated to the Academy Award-nominated The Invisible War about sexual assault in the US military, Dick doesn't shy away from difficult subjects. The Bleeding Edge tackles implanted medical devices and the lack of regulation surrounding them. Though I'm squeamish when it comes to medical details, I felt The Bleeding Edge was absolutely worth stomaching. The individuals' stories were powerful, and the film is eye-opening. Mercury 13 Metacritic score: [ 82] Stream on [ Netflix] This documentary tells the story of the 13 female pilots who were tested, in secret, for the space program in the early '60s. Sadly, for political reasons, these women would never be sent into space. (Although Russia sent a woman into space in 1963, it'd be another 20 years before America followed suit.) But these passionate, eager women were ready to be the first pioneers in space, and the documentary does a wonderful job of recognizing an often overlooked piece of space race history. Seeing Allred (2018) Metacritic score: [ 68] Stream on [ Netflix] You have to have pretty thick skin to be an activist in the public eye. And even thicker skin if you're a female lawyer. But Gloria Allred has championed women's rights for decades, seeming completely immune to the childish taunts thrown her way. This documentary is a fascinating look at the life and motivations of one of America's best-known attorneys. Strong Island (2017) Metacritic score: [ 86] Stream on [ Netflix] Strong Island is an incredibly moving film about a family's history, and its struggles with racism in America. The movie is centered on a horrific 1992 tragedy, when William Ford Jr., a 24-year-old black high school teacher on Long Island, was murdered by a white 19-year-old. Yance Ford's documentary on his brother's death is a heartrending film that tries to celebrate William's potential. Icarus (2017) Metacritic score: [ 68] Stream on [ Netflix] Bryan Fogel's documentary Icarus, about sports doping, may as well be called a thriller. While making the documentary Fogel accidentally uncovered a massive Russian doping scandal after meeting with a Russian scientist. Icarus is an insightful yet scary look at the complex world of sports and the politics surrounding them. Oh, and Icarus won best documentary feature at the Academy Awards in 2018. 13th (2016) Metacritic score: [ 90] Stream on [ Netflix] Ava DuVernay's documentary about the mass incarceration and disenfranchisement of African-Americans in the US gets right to the point. 13th has to cover quite a bit of ground, and DuVernay's skills as a filmmaker shine through as she carefully lays out a very complex history of injustice. 13th picked up an Oscar nomination for best documentary and won three Emmys and a Peabody Award. More streaming recommendations [/news/best-horror-movies-netflix/ Best horror movies on Netflix] [/news/best-netflix-shows/ Best Netflix shows] [/how-to/marvel-movies-on-disney-plus-mcu-avengers-endgame-captain-marvel/ How to stream every Marvel movie up to Avengers: Infinity War] Casting JonBenet (2017) Metacritic score: [ 74] Stream on [ Netflix] If you're a true-crime fan looking for answers on the JonBenet Ramsey case, this isn't the documentary for you. (Don't worry, there are plenty of specials, books and podcasts on this case.) Instead, this thought-provoking documentary turns the camera onto the actors auditioning for re-enactment roles and makes the viewer wonder about how we might project our own experiences onto sensational cases like JonBenet's. Gaga: Five Foot Two (2017) Metacritic score: [ 63] Stream on [ Netflix] As someone who casually enjoys Lady Gaga's music but knew very little about her, I wasn't expecting much from this documentary. But I found Gaga: Five Foot Two to be an enjoyable, easy watch, perfect for a lazy afternoon. Lady Gaga may have a larger-than-life persona, but the documentary really highlights the dedication and hard work required for the singer to be a superstar and pull off something as grand as a Super Bowl performance. Virunga (2014) Metacritic score: [ 95] Stream on [ Netflix] Virunga was one of the first documentaries to really put Netflix originals on the map. It received a nomination for best documentary at the Oscars, the second Academy Award nomination for Netflix. At that point, people began to notice that Netflix was picking some real winners. And Virunga is absolutely a winner. The film focuses on the park rangers at the Virunga National Park in the Congo, and their struggle to protect the mountain gorillas who live there. It's a powerful film well worth your time. Docuseries7 Days Out Stream on [ Netflix] The show focuses on the seven-day lead-up to major events like the Kentucky Derby or the Chanel fashion show and how they successfully come together at the last minute. In that sense it's basically the antithesis of the Fyre Festival documentary. I highly recommend checking out the Westminster Dog Show episode, just to get a sense of how eerily accurate Christopher Guest's mockumentary [ Best in Show] really was. Chef's Table Stream on [ Netflix] Volume 6 is now available on Netflix, so it might be time for you to finally check this one out. This docuseries on the culinary arts is pure visual poetry. Every episode tells the story of a different world-renowned chef. As a generally stoic person, I've cried maybe three times over a movie or TV show in my entire life. The first episode of Chef's Table, which tells the love story of Massimo Bottura and his wife, had me sobbing on my couch. Make of that what you will. Making a Murderer Stream on [ Netflix] When Making a Murderer first premiered about three years ago, it put Netflix docuseries on the map. Like most gripping true-crime stories, there's been an endless internet debate over the murder of Teresa Halbach. Is Steven Avery, the man convicted of her murder, innocent or did he actually kill her? Was he framed? Dark Tourist Metacritic score: [ 70] Stream on [ Netflix] In this docuseries, journalist David Farrier tackles "dark tourism," which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like: tourists who visit deadly, tragic or violent sites. In the first episode, Farrier spends time with Pablo Escobar's own hitman and Farrier voices his own moral conflict between finding the murderer charming and reprehensible. I don't love true crime enough to build my holiday itinerary around a serial killer, but I'm fascinated by the people who actually would. The Staircase Metacritic score: [ 95] Stream on [ Netflix] Netflix brings us three new episodes of this true-crime docuseries, which first premiered in 2004. The series follows the trial of Michael Peterson, an author accused of murdering his wife Kathleen, after she was found dead at the bottom of their home's staircase. After binging the entire 13 episodes and reading up on numerous theories, I still have absolutely no idea if Michael Peterson is guilty, innocent or framed by an owl. But as a true-crime fanatic, I'm obsessed with this case. Jump on the hype train! Evil Genius Metacritic score: [ 71] Stream on [ Netflix] Calling all true-crime fans! Netflix has blessed us with another mind-boggling docuseries. Evil Genius: The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist is just a roller coaster of emotions. This docuseries dives into the 2003 pizza bomber case, where a pizza delivery driver was forced to rob a bank while wearing a collar bomb. A big sensitivity warning: You'll see someone blown up in the first 10 minutes. So I highly recommend you put any kids to bed before binging this four-part series in one sitting. The Toys That Made Us Stream on [ Netflix] The show is just so fantastically fun to watch. Even the way the He-Man and Barbie teams from Mattel talk about each other across both episodes was delightful. Trust me, you should take a few hours out of your day to watch this docuseries and just feel like a kid again. Dirty Money Metacritic score: [ 80] Stream on [ Netflix] My sincerest apologies, because Dirty Money is definitely not a feel-good docuseries. It'll probably fill you with rage. But I'm recommending it anyway, because damned if it's not informative. The show focuses on corrupt corporations. It had me asking important questions like "how on earth did they get away with that?" while screaming at my TV. You've been warned. Wild Wild Country Metacritic score: [ 79] Stream on [ Netflix] Holy bananas. Is that even a saying? Because holy bananas. Wild Wild Country is about the Indian guru Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh and the seemingly utopian city of Rajneeshpuram that his followers built in a remote part of Oregon in the early '80s. The local people of Antelope, right next to Rajneeshpuram, even attempted to disband their own town to try to prevent the Rajneesh's followers from taking over. The story unfolds into utter insanity: from a hotel bombing to an assassination plot to illegal wiretapping to the largest bioterrorism attack in US history. This docuseries had me absolutely hooked in the first 10 minutes. Be prepared to have your mind blown that this actually happened. The Keepers Metacritic score: [ 78] Stream on [ Netflix] I'm just going to level with you: This docuseries may wreck you emotionally. The Keepers investigates the 1969 unsolved murder of Sister Cathy Cesnik, a Catholic nun and high school teacher, and how her murder possibly links to a pervasive sexual predator from the school, the priest Joseph Maskill. The seven-part series was nearly impossible for me to turn off, completely and utterly gripping from the onset.

id="article-body" class="row" section="article-body"> Warner Bros.

The second Fantastic Beasts movie has delivered controversy since the beginning, since [ Johnny Depp] and his dark wizard character, Gellert Grindelwald, has a much larger role in this film than in the first. The [/news/johnny-depp-harry-potter-fantastic-beasts-and-where-to-find-them-jk-rowling/ casting of Depp was criticized] because his ex-wife, [ Amber Heard], accused him of physical and verbal abuse.

Just seeing the school's exterior in the trailers had some fans rapturous. And on Tuesday, the [/news/fantastic-beasts-the-crimes-of-grindelwald-reveals-a-surprise-origin/ final Fantastic Beasts 2 trailer] that dropped today gave us a new look at a well-known character.

Read a Harry Potter story written by an algorithm] Release date, production info Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald will be released Nov. 15 in Australia and Nov. 16 in the US and UK. It'll be available in [/news/samsung-reald-to-license-new-3d-technology/ RealD 3D] and IMAX 3D. Most of the film was shot at Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden in southeast England, with some scenes filmed in London, Switzerland and Paris. David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter films as well as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, will direct this one, too. Author J.K. Rowling has said the Fantastic Beasts series [/news/j-k-rowling-fantastic-beasts-first-of-five-movies-harry-potter/ will consist of five movies], though original plans were for a trilogy. (There were eight Harry Potter films, so this is nothing.) In the first film, audiences were introduced to Newt Scamander ([ Eddie Redmayne]), a magizoologist who comes from England to America circa 1926 and meets up with a variety of Muggles and magical types. At the film's end, dark wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Depp) emerges, though he's taken into custody. In the second film, a young Albus Dumbledore ([ Jude Law]) enlists Newt to stop Grindelwald from raising pure-blood wizards to rule over all non-magical beings. The second film is set just a year later, in 1927, and seems to take place in England and Paris. Now playing: Watch this: Fantastic Beasts 2 trailer shows off younger Dumbledore 3:16 Early reviews Reviews started to come in on Nov. 8, and here's a sampling of what critics are saying. A lovable mess "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald offers greater stakes, a tyrannical villain and more of those adorable creatures only JK's creative genius can come up with. And if nothing else, the Fantastic Beasts franchise provides us with yet another way in to Rowling's much-loved and incredibly detailed magical world. But it's definitely for fans and fans alone. Sorry muggles." -- [/news/fantastic-beasts-2-and-where-to-find-them-the-crimes-of-grindelwald-review-a-lovable-mess/ Jennifer Bisset, CNET] Is everyone afraid to edit J.K. Rowling? "Stuart Craig's production design is, as ever, a marvelous survey of historic architectural styles, and the dresses are so fabulous they overshadow the elves and dragons. An accompanying book of photos and sketches would be something to treasure. And the film itself, directed by Potter regular David Yates, is a grand achievement in many ways. But it's also an unfocused, overwhelming and ultimately numbing sprawl that seems to drag on forever." -- [ Nicholas Barber, BBC] The sequel improves on the first film "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, the second in the projected five-movie franchise written by J.K. Rowling, displays enough of the author's magical formula and Dickensian narrative power to make this sequel a huge step up from the middling Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016). The sequel has better and at times galvanizing special effects, a darker tone and a high-stakes battle between good and evil. Best of all, its characters are more vibrantly drawn, and tangled in relationships that range from delightful to lethal." -- [ Caryn James, The Hollywood Reporter] J.K. Rowling prequel-sequel conjures magic and messiness "The Wizarding World gets a lot bigger in Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, a new fantasy adventure that plays like a 1,000-page novel shoved into a 134-minute running time. It's full of exciting new characters, revelations and storylines, but the only way you could possibly keep them all in the air at the same time would be to use a Wingardium Leviosa spell. And spoiler alert: Those don't actually exist." -- [ William Bibbiani, The Wrap] The film lacks real characters and a compelling story "The noisiest, most rhythmless, and least coherent entry in the Wizarding World saga since Alfonso Cuarón first gave the franchise its sea legs in 2004, Grindelwald feels less like The Hobbit than a trawl through the appendixes of The Silmarillion — a confusing jumble of new characters and eye-crossing marginalia. Most of the surface pleasures of filmic Potterdom (the chiaroscuro tones, the overqualified character actors, the superb costuming, James Newton Howard's warmly enveloping score) have survived intact, but real magic is in short supply." -- [ Andrew Barker, Variety] Plot news, rumors and theories McGonagall mess: Professor Minerva McGonagall is well-known to Potter fans as head of Gryffindor and Harry's Transfiguration teacher. She reportedly appears in Fantastic Beasts 2, which has confused some fans, since Potter canon has her born in 1935 and the film is set in 1927. [ Some think] Rowling is allowing this rethinking of McGonagall's age to set up a parallel between McGonagall and Queenie Goldstein. McGonagall came from a half-magic, half-muggle family and reportedly broke off a romance with a muggle, and Queenie, herself magical, is in love with Newt's friend Jacob Kowalski, a muggle. Will the two share thoughts on the pros and cons of magical-muggle relationships? Wand-erful skills: Eddie Redmayne revealed that he had to get a [ movement coach] to help with his wand skills for the Fantastic Beasts films. Apparently wand-wielding is tougher than it looks, and Redmayne's co-star Jude Law agreed. But for Law, it turned out to be unnecessary. "I actually studied these wonderful films of Picasso painting through glass to see how he held his brush and I watched films of conductors conducting," [ Law said on Britain's The Graham Norton Show]. "And I get to do just one spell in the film and it was at a distance where I vaguely waved it in the air. Dumbledore's sexuality: Cast member Ezra Miller, who plays Credence Barebone in the film, said Dumbledore's homosexuality is not simply hinted at this time around. "For me, personally, I find Dumbledore's queerness extremely explicit in this film," he [ told Total Film magazine]. "He sees Grindelwald, his young lover who's the love of his life; he sees him in the Mirror of Erised. What does the Mirror of Erised show you? Nothing more than the most desperate desire of your heart." Don't pre-judge: Miller also lashed out at fans who are judging the film based on rumor and leaked reports. ""Why don't you wait until you see the film before you start talking shit on Twitter?" he [ told Total Film]. "Or wait to make up your own mind about something for once in your life." It seems likely he could be talking both about Dumbledore's sexuality and the role played by Claudia Kim. Let's back up here: Kim's character is a Maledictus, a person whose blood is cursed, and who will eventually turn into a beast. Fans had been theorizing that the beast in question will be a snake, due in part to the scaly tights she is wearing in a cast photo, and also because of a circus poster in the teaser for a snake girl act that is labeled "Maledictus." In September's [/news/fantastic-beasts-the-crimes-of-grindelwald-reveals-a-surprise-origin/ final trailer release], she's seen twisting and turning, and then a giant snake is seen, so that theory seems to be true. But [ some writers have criticized Kim's part], saying that if she is the only Asian female in the film, there are racial connotations with her being essentially Voldemort's pet and slave. Kim addressed the issue with Korean publication [ All K Pop], saying "I'm looking forward to viewers being satisfied and the controversy fading away once the film premieres." That Harry Potter connection: Need more dish on the movie? Get your hands on the [/news/behind-fantastic-beasts-2-audible-audiobook-to-share-harry-potter-links/ behind-the-scenes audiobook] called [ Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald -- Makers, Mysteries and Magic], available on Audible.com. The nine-chapter book, narrated by [/news/fantastic-beasts-dan-fogler-sees-magic-in-tech/ Fantastic Beasts star Dan Fogler], features material pulled from 100 hours of cast interviews, plus chats with the crew and info about connections to the world of Harry Potter himself. Expect a film noir look: Oscar-winning costume designer Colleen Atwood [ told author J.K. Rowling's Pottermore site] that she was inspired by 1949 film classic [ The Third Man]. "My inspiration definitely reflects film noir and I love the way The Third Man looks; I mean it's a great-looking film," she said. "The use of light and shadow is beautiful." In new images we see young Dumbledore in front of (drumroll please) the Mirror of Erised (!!!). Warner Bros. Pictures Hogwarts isn't just there for the looks: Harry Potter's treasured alma mater plays a real role in the film, the same Pottermore article reports. "Going back to Hogwarts is a very important function of this story," director Yates said, keeping any spoilers to himself. New critters aplenty: Since "Fantastic Beasts" is right in the title, fans know to expect more creatures, and Eddie Redmayne [ has already revealed] that his Niffler will have babies in this film. And look to the skies: Supervising art director Martin Foley says, "Jo (Rowling) likes birds so there's a lot of birdlike creatures." Going global: The first film was set in New York, this one is back in Harry Potter's homeland of England, and Fantastic Beasts characters better keep those passports handy for the next three films. "At some point the movies are going to probably go all over the world," Yates told Pottermore. "I know where the third movie is going..." But to no one's surprise, he wouldn't say where. Horsing around: In the first film, evil wizard Gellert Grindelwald (Depp) is captured by MACUSA, magical America's governing body. The movie's title pretty much gives it away: Grindelwald likely escapes and commits the crimes that send Newt Scamander after him. And a toy maybe gives a clue as to how his escape happens. [ Digital Spy revealed a photo of a LEGO set] that shows Grindelwald escaping from a carriage pulled by a thestral, a rare and creepy skeletal horse that can only be seen by those who have seen death. Warner Bros. Pictures Trailer reveals: The [/news/fantastic-beasts-2-harry-potter-trailer-out/ teaser trailer that came out in March] excited fans by showing the character at Harry Potter's (future) alma mater, Hogwarts. It also reveals that Newt (Redmayne) is working with future Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore (Law), and must head to Paris and a strange circus. Now playing: Watch this: Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald final trailer... 2:24 Sealed with a hiss: Kim is not just any Maledictus, but Nagini, the eventual Horcrux aligned with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. She starts out being able to control her transformations, but [ Entertainment Weekly reports] she eventually is stuck permanently in snake form. Creedence Clearwater Revival: Creedence Barebone (Ezra Miller) was thought to be dead at the hands of MACUSA Aurors in the first film, but he's back for this one, [ as confirmed by author J.K. Rowling's Pottermore site]. And sharp-eyed fans [ think the trailer is hinting at his true parentage]. Dumbledore gets to be young: Love relationship with Grindelwald aside, fans should expect a different Dumbledore than they know from his time with Harry. "He's a maverick and a rebel and he's an inspiring teacher at Hogwarts," director David Yates [ told Entertainment Weekly]. "He's witty and has a bit of edge. He's not this elder statesman." Curious what Eddie Redmayne's favorite passage is from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone? The star of [ #FantasticBeasts]: The Crimes of Grindelwald reveals all as we celebrate 20 years of magic in the U.S.!

Scamander brothers, together at last! In the second trailer, Theseus is again seen, at one point telling Newt he has to pick a side, leading the younger Scamander to reply, "I don't do sides." Teacher as student: Hey, is that Dumbledore and Grindelwald as students themselves? The second trailer contains a very brief shot of young versions of the two touching the Mirror of Erised. What about that Apparating rule? One scene in the trailer footage really stood out: Ministry of Magic officials are seen Apparating (appearing out of nowhere) at Hogwarts, presumably to meet with Dumbledore. In the books, Hermione Granger constantly reminds others that Apparating and Disapparating is not allowed on Hogwarts' grounds. But then again, this is well before Hermione's time there, and maybe the very events of this film create the need for the rule. Don't worry, Niffler is back too. Warner Bros.

DHONI IN SAME BOAT AS COOK By [/home/search.html?s=&authornamef=Press+Association Press Association] Published: 16:31 BST, 8 July 2014 | Updated: 16:31 BST, 8 July 2014 [ ] [ ] [ ] </a> If anyone can empathise with Alastair Cook's current problems, it is Mahendra Singh Dhoni - his opposite number in the forthcoming Investec Test series. It is a conservative estimate that India captain Dhoni has 10 times more people - in his cricket-mad homeland [https://soulofcricketer.blogspot.com/2020/06/indian-cricketer-stuart-binny-wife.html %https://soulofcricketer.blogspot.com/%] - to satisfy than Cook has in England. Exacting standards are of course required too of the world's most populous cricketing country, and a run of 14 Tests without a victory away from home is nothing to crow about. While Cook tries to arrest his own sorry sequence without a Test century, to add to his national record 25 - and no victory either in England's last seven under his leadership - Dhoni's advice, broadly, is to keep calm and carry on. "It is a difficult job being a captain," Dhoni said. "It is a difficult phase for him and (one) each and every cricketer has faced - it doesn't matter if your name is one of the greatest in cricket or not. "It is a phase he (must) also go through, and it will only improve him as a cricketer and (make him) a better human being." Dhoni's thoughts on collective success or otherwise apply just as easily to his own side as Cook's - although on the eve of the first Test in Nottingham he was, in fact, speaking about the opposition. India have spent the past winter losing narrowly in South Africa and then New Zealand, and also came up short in their last two series home and away against England - by a 4-0 whitewash here in 2011. "It is a phase every team goes through - even the mightiest of teams, like West Indies when they were really dominating," said Dhoni. "This England side has very good talent and very good players, so it is just a matter of time before they come back into form." Dhoni is sanguine too about India's poor record on their travels. He is trying to inspire the winning habit in the post-Tendulkar generation and notes that unchecked progress is highly unlikely for an inexperienced team. Another change is perhaps in the offing, with a Test debut for Stuart Binny one option if India decide to sacrifice a frontline batsman for an all-rounder. Reflecting on the tourists' recent fortunes, Dhoni said: "Stats are one thing that really teases the cricketers. "There have been a lot of changes in the Indian side in the last one-and-half or close to two years. "If I compare the first Test we played in South Africa and the last Test we played in New Zealand, there has been considerable improvement. "Of course, it will be a challenge for them. "But as they play a lot more matches abroad, the equation will get much better. "It's a constant process."

DHONI IN SAME BOAT AS COOK By [/home/search.html?s=&authornamef=Press+Association Press Association] Published: 16:31 BST, 8 July 2014 | Updated: 16:31 BST, 8 July 2014 [ ] [ ] [ ] </a> If anyone can empathise with Alastair Cook's current problems, it is Mahendra Singh Dhoni - his opposite number in the forthcoming Investec Test series. It is a conservative estimate that India captain Dhoni has 10 times more people - in his cricket-mad homeland - to satisfy than Cook has in England. Exacting standards are of course required too of the world's most populous cricketing country, and a run of 14 Tests without a victory away from home is nothing to crow about. While Cook tries to arrest his own sorry sequence without a Test century, to add to his national record 25 - and no victory either in England's last seven under his leadership - Dhoni's advice, broadly, is to keep calm and carry on. "It is a difficult job being a captain," Dhoni said. "It is a difficult phase for him and (one) each and every cricketer has faced - it doesn't matter if your name is one of the greatest in cricket or not. "It is a phase he (must) also go through, [https://soulofcricketer.blogspot.com/2020/06/indian-cricketer-stuart-binny-wife.html %https://soulofcricketer.blogspot.com/2020/06/indian-cricketer-stuart-binny-wife.html%] and it will only improve him as a cricketer and (make him) a better human being." Dhoni's thoughts on collective success or otherwise apply just as easily to his own side as Cook's - although on the eve of the first Test in Nottingham he was, in fact, speaking about the opposition. India have spent the past winter losing narrowly in South Africa and then New Zealand, and also came up short in their last two series home and away against England - by a 4-0 whitewash here in 2011. "It is a phase every team goes through - even the mightiest of teams, like West Indies when they were really dominating," said Dhoni. "This England side has very good talent and very good players, so it is just a matter of time before they come back into form." Dhoni is sanguine too about India's poor record on their travels. He is trying to inspire the winning habit in the post-Tendulkar generation and notes that unchecked progress is highly unlikely for an inexperienced team. Another change is perhaps in the offing, with a Test debut for Stuart Binny one option if India decide to sacrifice a frontline batsman for an all-rounder. Reflecting on the tourists' recent fortunes, Dhoni said: "Stats are one thing that really teases the cricketers. "There have been a lot of changes in the Indian side in the last one-and-half or close to two years. "If I compare the first Test we played in South Africa and the last Test we played in New Zealand, there has been considerable improvement. "Of course, it will be a challenge for them. "But as they play a lot more matches abroad, the equation will get much better. "It's a constant process."
