Congrats also from South Khand, East Khand and West Khand :)
I am a huge fan of Dhoni, but unfortunately he is not living upto the expecatation he has hardly hit any sixes in this tournament, whereas every other batsman is butchering the bowlers. His argument of one batsman sticking around finds very litte buyers, In this slam bang version of game there is no question of sticking around. Hit out or get out. Hopefully he comes good in the game against south africa.

Exactly my thoughts.In ODIs Dhoni used to attack more.I thought he would go to the next level but now he seems confused and this stupid Captaincy burden is killing him. I dont know why all our Indian Captains become more defensive batsmen after getting the Captaincy.For other countries like Pak / Aus its the other way around.Look at Mallik, I have never seen him hit like this.Sochna Padenga!!!

True..Now a days he is not at all good. Truely I don't consider him as a genuine stroke player..
I met him a year back in Chennai airport. He was very cool signed autograph with a smile. Further he was talking casually to all his fans and obliged them with photographs. He will be a good captain. a level headed guy.
This is my playing eleven for today's crucial encounter against SA. The team is a blend of right and left batsman which might give some problem to SA in adjusting to particular line and length. Can be quite unsettling and all are explosive batsman.

Perfect team Dude.Your name should have been Sai Prakash.I think likewise.Though feel bad for Yusuf Pathan, poor guy has not yet got a game.
It was Zimbabwe who upset Australia in 1983. And India lifted the World Cup. Again Australia lost to Zimbabwe here in Twenty20. Is it India's turn gain?! Let's hope it happens! That will be the best gift that Dhoni can give to all his fans.

i would say cricketers should play their game, people shouldnot too much of interest, neither it is necessary nor it is right.. because we people give too much importance to cricketers unlike any other country.. and pull them like anything if they dont perform... so.. its just a profession for them and in every porfession some are talented and some or now.. that doesnt mean we should pray them and consider very very special.... giving much of importance by public spoils these players!!!! just letr it be a game.. thats all... appreciate but not be obssesed and u know obsession is never a good thing!!!
We all know how India's best playrs perform when they bcome captains...startinf from d recent...
Dhoni, v r already seeing some of d pressure of captaincy on him in 20-20...he is jut not his free flowing self !!
Dravid...d WALL, crumbled badly and is out
Sachin...a gr8 player, very poor record as playr wen captain...
Saurav... gud captain, but own form totally LOST, so much so dat he wnet out of d team
Azhar...again, poor playd wen captain...
EVERYTIME INDIA HAS HAD A GUID PLAYR AS CAPTAIN, they lose form... Does anyone remeber a Capatains knock by any Indian captain...d only exception is mayb Kapil Dev, who also had his problms with bowling...any comments??

Hello,
Ponting was once a bunny to Harbhajan and mahela jayawrdane was totally out of form in 2003,4 & 5. he was just persisted on because of talent and TINA. Ponting is a class act, but one thing should be said that the quality of attack and fast bowling he plays is below par and he scores hundred every time. No doubt abt his talent. Jo jeeta woh Hi Sikkander. but for mahela , sorry a long way to go.

Saurav in early days as captain did well but crumbled after honeymoon was over and very very bad towards the end from 2003 worldcup onwards. Sachin and Dravid r wise they stepped down sensing the danger but saurav was a fool wanted to continue even when his farm was at sea and the team was being drubbed repeatedly. Is that Saurav the BEST???????????????????

rubbish, karthick never looked like he could hit out and exectute any power needed at number 7, no harm giving rohit sharma a try.
"That eager youngster, who, since Monday, holds perhaps the most difficult job in India after the prime minister" kuch bhi kya??? indian captain and indian prime minister, kya comparison hai.
