What right Dhobi has to blame the batsmen for the defeat. Is he not a batsman. He is completely responsible for the defeat as he picked the team. 20-20 matches are not a measure of a teams quality. Any team can win it by fluke as India has proved in the world cup. There are 8 one dayers ahead. Dhobi, please be prepared with the script to say after every match.(Lee was bowling very quick, The grounds were very big, the opposition was fielding very well, The crowd supported our opponents,It didnt rain, the team is in a learning curve and finally he can say that there's an important series against SA at home and that we need to concentrate upon that burying the past behind us)
Guys did u see the weird 'gaddha' shot Dhoni played when he spooned a catch to Ponting ? was he trying to act like Gilly ? or just being a little bit silly ?!! hmmm I think he thought the Gabba is like his home town Ranchi where the pitches are flat cake beds. Twice on this tour he played this shot and twice he ended up looking like an a$$.
dhoni gets the standing ovation like gilchrist this is bcoz as gilchrist is playing in his last series due to retirement, dhoBi is also playing his last series due to compulsory axing by selectors for his poor performances. so both r getting standing ovation from crowd.
I agree your every good decision. But What did you selected Indian Squad against Aus ODI series. Tell me. Cricket is one of most important game to Every Indians. Most performers were out in Selected squad.Ganguly, Dravid, Lakshman and etc., They are world class players and top performers still now. Really, We are missed Ganguly and Dravid are midbone of Indian Cricket. In future forthcoming series without play Dravid and Ganguly, the indian cricket should be forget. Ganguly and Dravid are world class players. Dravid is The Great wall in Middle order. Pls we dont miss THe Great Rahul Dravid. Because more than three years he can play get the capability. One is important point in evry where search the middle order batsman they shoul not get Rahul Dravid performance. Dravid is God's gift to Indian Cricket. His Captaincy was not satisfied to Indian cricket. But his batting performance is very nice. Pls we dont miss the RahulDravid. Ganguly is goodperformance in recent two years. He was used very high techique batting. Next two years he can get playing capability. Heis one of the Master blaster in Indian Cricket. Dhoni is UKG boy in Indian cricket. But what should he know about cricket. Nothing. Last Twenty Twenty Wcup won by Pakistan cricketer Misbah for India. That is real fact. If Misbah he did not tried that back shot, 80% chance to win Pakistan Twenty Twenty World cup. Dhoni is not very goodcricketer. Pls BCCI dont hear Dhoni'sMajor ideas. Dhoni
Its no shame to win a match specially when u performed so badly in all parts of the game.... But the way Dhoni behaved that does not rate him a cool and bold captain....I start one by one
1- Dhoni was happy with the team of his choice doesnt matter some top performers dropped to satisfy him....and we all feel happy if he would have taken the responsibility on his shoulders 2- Batting order was decided by him only so why to throw burden to others 3- Before T 20 match, given statement that its not more than a practice match.....this shows his fear to lose the match 4- No remark on his own performance???? how many practice matches he needs for self???? HE USED WHOLE TEST SERIES AS PRACTICE MATCHES BUT STILL FEEL SOME MORE PRACTICE MATCHES???.....And due to him other wicketkeeper batsman are sitting out like Kartik and Parthiv Patel

let's just all hope they lose ODI just like T20.. it was great to see their faces then..all of indian CHAK De india will go down a drain along with players. SO KEEP it Losing india..
NEW FACES ARE SETTING WHILE SENIORS WAS PLAYING IN TEST SERIES, THERE IS NO LEARNING ATTITUTE IN JONIORS BREGADE. IT IS DIFFICULT TO PLAY AGAINST ASSUI ESPECIALLY IN AUSTRLIAN PITCHES.HOW TO PLAY IN DIFFRENT CONDITIONS THIS CHAPTER STILL TO BO LEARNT.
Anil kumble as the captain to our test cricket is the best decision BCCI has taken. Dhoni is to learn how to behave from Sachin, Dravid & Kumble.He should realise captaincy & his position in the team is not permanent.Let him avoid arrogancy & ego.
there were times in the 80s, when a batsman was considered good only when he performed well against wi in wi . otherwise, whatever his incredible performances against weaker teams may b, he wudnt b called a genuine good.
in this era, acid test for proving a batsman's calibre is playing ausi in ausi. dhobi with all his heroics against weaker teams n on flattest pitches, has failed in this acid test of playing ausi in ausi. so hats off to dhobi the gr8 batsman, so-called gilli of ind(!!!!!!!!).
