What is the conribution of Dhoni in the Team? If India wants to win ODIs he should be sacked Mr Vengsarker should resign immedatelt after the defeat in ODIS by OZs for selecting such Team and making Dhoni as Skipper

good point. actually it the business houses who are now controlling Indian cricket and selectors as well. Dhoni is one of the blue eyed of them without getting runs or even doing great as wicket keeper. If ODI's are for youngsters then why and on what merit Dhoni was there in Test team??? Same question should come about Shewag also.

YOU absolutely supported by me and 100 friends of mine. He was not the first option for captaining , Only absence of VEERU resulted in making dhoni captain.
If sourav ganguly concentrates more on his wrist work with soft hands, maybe he will be more successful in driving and flicking. It looks like he's got more firm hands.

dear sir if 17000 International runs could come out of firm hand let it be like that and other younstars should learn batting like instead of teaming behind Deepika Padukone.

Sachin and sourav are best players in the world. They are in good form now.Omission of sourav is very bad.Dhoni is playing only in India on some occassions.It is better to remove from the team by replacing dinesh karthik
It's interesting ... When Ganguli was thrown out of captency, it was apparantly his form. Then he came back ... and probably in his best form ever. Now he is out because he is NOT "young" ...and he is NOt fit and he runs slowly between wickets. And who blames him for that? Mr. Dhoni ... By the way, when last time he scored a hundred - or a fifty or even took some special catch or gave India some real breakthru? Yeah ... there was something called T20 ... where he was our captain. But who won it for us? It was Yuvraj, Rohit and other kids. Dhoni was scoring 20s ... with his heavy swing and then getting out in crucial moments.

Hi natasha Do u think u have enough idea about this game. Don't collect ur facts from TV.If u have ever seen the last20 ODI of INDIA u wouldn't say this. In final sachin doesn't have good statistics at all. his average is not 46 in final but 41.33 and ganguly's one is 40.56.If u don't have reliable statistics, I would like to suggest u pls dont put the same on net.Because all are not fools.

Natasha, have some cricket sense first before making comment. why you are comparing Saurav with Sachin? Compare him with Dhoni's runs. Do you know how many times Ganguly has become man of the series in last 1-2 years. Compare it with great Dhoni and then talk.

why you are compairing sachin and saurabh both are gr8 player and both should be in one day team friends. what ever the selactor done is not at all good.
They are using the black gogless and never see the white like Ganguly & dravid.They countinue the Indian cricket as their family tradition not for nation.
Do tell !
Are they in correct way ? Are they good wisher for future Indian Cricket? Are they fair for Gangily & Dravid ? Are they giving raw-deal to Ganguly & Dravid ?

When some of the best fighting army men have to retire including a thinking brillinat Army chief the same applies to all sports Edberg retired at 31/Bjorn Borg at 29 Sampras came up Now Federrer I do not understand why such noise is being raised on players who are no more getting Younger!! Let the Law of Natural attrition take place and get on with the Game!!
Sorry Folks --This does not apply to our God Damned Politicians!!
Sachin Tendulkar is countineous running in cricket because of belongs to the Mumbai-BCCI Supremo Sarad Pawars Region.Non-Perfermance of Sachin is immaterial.

mr arjun , sachin is not a great fielder like as jonty ok. sachin belongs to bmb so dsn matter that he makes run , drop catches , mistakes in fielding. now sachin is 35 , sourav and rahul both are 34 ok , so tell me why should india play with sachin.
RE:Sarad Pawar & Sachin Tendulkar
by SAMEER on Jan 23, 2008 02:48 PM
Ranjit get your facts right. sachin is younger than Rahul & Saurav. but saurav was playing good.

No, you are wrong!
Everyone is anguished over sacking Saurav. Raise above regionalism. Coz one eye has been poked, dont ask why the other has been left, be glad that atleast one is left!!

no you are not right Mr. gopinath he is in the team because his talent and that's all.
Dont worry dear friends. My guess is we all are waiting for the first few one days to be over in Australia. We all know the results. India will be crashed out totally. The jokers of Indian team will be clueless and the biggest JOKER STUPID DHONI will be out of team India. Bcos junta of India wont spare him at that time. How dared he touch players like Laxman, Dravid and Ganguly. They are legends. This stupid joker Dhoni doesnt even know how to handle a bat, and coming to play politics in Indian team. We all will throw him out of team just after the one day series. We all are going to do a HALLA BOL all over India when these jokers will be crashed out and will throw this joker stupid DHONI. Prepare urself for the D-Day friends. Its not too far.... Naresh
I feel Dhoni has a long way to go in cricket, he cannot play spin bowling like his counterpart Yvraj Singh, Dhoni is carried away after 20-20 as we are a mad cricketing craz country , I we win 5-5- over match the entire nation will be over the moon, there is no cricket like a test match, which require immense of concentration , footwork, we require players like Ganguly and Dravid among the youth in the India team, or else we will be like the Westindies team who when all their big names of the 80's were retired the team looked worse than the gully cricket team, So Mr. Dhoni god has been kind to you so please mature or else you will have the same fate like ganguly.
