Friends,

IPL is just a game like English Country Cricket. Let any team win. Why we should fight for it. If India as a team loses we can ask questions. IPL is just a league game.

Dhonis Childish statement reminds me an old story

Dhonis Childish statement reminds me an old story

A Maharajah was traveling in a train for the first time and that too in last compartment.

Maharajah feels his compartment so Vibrating and ask the Train master the reason. He said its becuase of last compartment. The very next Day Maharajah ordered there should not be any more last compartment in a train..


Dhoni had more than 7 overs when the match was shorted to 17 Overs. So his statement about last 3 over is Childish

hehe. His statement that mahela agreed with which you don't get. Well continue with your BS. What he is trying to say is their plans got completely upset as they had to start again. And if you watched the match without a colored mind, kochi bowled really well. Dhoni was trying to slog and not connecting in that RP over. You guys assume bowlers are there to be hit. Period.

That excuse has no merit. It affects the team batting first, but he had no excuse in wasting 10 deliveries and then making that comment. He should have thrown his bat around when he knew that Chennai will not get bowled out in 17 overs. Afterall preserving wickets did not add anything significant through D/L, that he could have worked out with the ready reckoners, if he had any doubt.

I don't hate, but Dhoni is overrated because of paid media which is biased because of commercial sponsors. Dhoni has evolved to a great ODI batsman, no doubt. But whenever he promotes himself ahead of regular batsmen because of pressures from sponsors, it is always doomed (World cup is among exceptions). There are many youngsters around who can toy with RP's bowling. Under the circumstances, Morkel is getting underused.

THIS IS JUST AN EXAPAMLE...

People....what to say about doni...he played 13 balls and 11 balls were dot balls in final overs...and that too deleiveries from his close friend RP Singh...
Doni's plan ....1.come up the order and waste balls as much as possible and keep strike away from other batsman and hit a 4 or 6 in last ball to get to deceive the crowd...2.Bring morkal in first 3 overs and give practice to opponenents to hit 4 s and 6 's...3.whenever opposition is struggling to score...help them by bringing in bowlers who are already struggling...
Good ploy for doni for the money he might have taken from other team owners for losing matches....

Come on, do not be fooled by media. The same media talked about leadership skills of Laloo and with the power of money they got the world accepted it. Now you know the truth.

So, do not go by media. Anyway I am not comparing Dhoni and Laloo. Dhoni is not a great batsman as he is made to look like, especially in T20 and Tests.

Yep. Ravi Shastri even announced sachin as " Man of the match" after MI batting. Abishek and Sunil Shetty commended that Kochi has no chance of winning agains MI. Commentators were also biased. But now the picture has changed. We are 4th now. Come on Kochi. Move on.

Dhoni medicore ability exposed again
by ASHISH KUMAR on Apr 19, 2011 11:43 AM  | Hide replies

10 dot balls out of 13 he faced in last 3 overs of T-20 match.
Only player of dhoni ability can do it.
Any other player could have been kicked out based on this but this guy is lukiest one.
same he in 2008/2010 T-20 wcup when India lost all matches as dhoni batted slowly during crucial stage of match

Because of commercial sponsors he is above everyone and everything. If it was Tendulkar, people would have been all over him. That is the Indian public, no wonder, they have been exploited for decades.

Any big hitter wil hit 30 runs in 13 balls in last 3 overs but this guy scored 13 runs.
He clicks only once in 40 matches & burden for any team as a batsman

Dhoni is not a great batsman. He simply blocks or gets beaten on those deliveries, which he can not hit. He wated more than 10 deliveries yesterday. He is having some other agenda than team's win.

If you see his past 3 years, one thing is obvious. He is playing well in ODIs, though there also he spoils the game by promoting himself (World cup final is an exception). He spoils T20 innings, as he did in the last T20 World cup.

D-hobi is always lucky & medicore batsman who cclicks one in 40 matches against weak bowling which any tom dick & harry can do.
But his cricketing & batting ability is very limited.
He is only good in manipulating ability.
