Whenever Dhoni wins toss India wins by 20/30 runs or by 2 to 3 wickets, but when he loses the toss 100 runs or 8/9 wickets defeat is guaranteed . In the T/20 Cup he won all tosses. In the last 2 tri series we lost the toss in the finals & lost badly (by 100 runs), same in the last ODI against lanka. So dhoni seems to be the toss ka boss only.

very thoughtful comments.. toss ka boss! after dhoni wins the toss ur daddy come out to open the innings followed by ur uncles? who does the bowling? ur sisters? toss doesnt guarantee a victory. u still got to go out there and battle it out on the field.. at least appreciate the success of our indian team rather than being cynical.
I just saw a video of Yuvi saying Indians tackled Mendis well and that is why we won.well this is a big joke and the worst stinking lie,the guy takes 26 Test wickets and 13 Odi wickets and u say we tackled him well? Not to mention those 6 wickets in that finals of asia cup,so in all Mendis has taken 19 wickets in 6 odis agaist us and 26 in 3 tests,i think even he took all 60 wickets in tests and all 50 wikets in odis Yuvi will say we played mendis well,i used to admire yuvis talent and thought his arrogance and partying nature were his enemies but i realize he is a big liar and totally unfit to even think of regaining his test place....Dhoni on the other hand has gone from strength to strength,never lies and always compliments whoever performed well,be it a opponent player or our own player...
We can win the test series against australia but in oneday it is still doubtful.
IPL has made australians life much easier on indian pitches. India be careful, especially dhoni you are going to lose the home series be prepared or else select the best team, it is not 20-20, it is against australia.
The batting woes for India continued in the one day series also, after the test series debacle.Though we won the one day series, the batting barring Dhoni,who was consistent throughout the series left a lot to be desired. The absence of Sehwag was felt in the series. The opening pair could not provide a good start.Gambir was a total failure. Kohli started off well in the matches he played, but could not bat for more overs. The less we talk about Yuvi's batting the better. Badrinath could not capitalise on the chances he got. But for Dhoni, we would have lost the series. With more cricket coming up in the following months, our batsmen (seniors as well as juniors)have to practice hard if they have to win the home series both in test and oneday matches.

You are forgetting Raina. raina also delivered in 3 Odis. The real flop was Yuvi. Gambir one has to forgive because he performed consistantly in test along with Shewag. Newcomers need more chances. Right now get rid of YUvi and sachin.
