finals
by murudappa bhattad on Jul 08, 2008 02:55 AM

I think its time for dhoni to think about bringing back the seniors bcoz no stability in the batting order.Its good to train youngsters but doesnt mean to drop seniors.Though india might have seen talented young guys but need a good team effort to win in finals.
Mr Pawar must think about bringing back the veterans.

Why blame Dhoni
by BlackIndian on Jul 08, 2008 01:41 AM  | Hide replies

You guys who blame Dhoni forget that we have had this big three - Sachin, Ganguli and Dravid for the past 12 years and still have lost big time.

Dhoni will be forgotten by the public very soon. The more he loses the sooner he will exit. IT is just that he had a good time. But his exit is not that far. He is a kid compared to Sehwag. Time will answer. He will be kicked out of the team one day. He won the CB series final because of sachin. thats it. He shuffles the middle order quite often just to protect his place. He will get the price soon.

You are right.. . But then one wonders what happened to all the tall claims that arrived alongwith Dhoni's captaincy... isn't it?

indians dismal show
by suresh nottath on Jul 08, 2008 12:44 AM

Overconfidence & resulting in the same old fashioned verdict " Lost in the finals". The Indians played minus the Killer instinct & paid the price... Looks like the guys are used to losing in the finals which is sort a routine affair... Wishing them success & sweet revenge against the Lankans at their home... Good luck...

Dhoni has to shoot advertisements
by Dirty Hairy on Jul 08, 2008 12:27 AM  | Hide replies

Mahi has got some advertisements to shoot for companies for which he is the brand ambassador. The current cricket calendar is so busy that he is not able to fulfill his commitments. True that their schedule is very hectic and busy. But we all know that if at all Dhoni makes himself unavailable for Sri Lanka tour he will not be taking rest but will be busy shooting, dancing and what not!

Dhoni bhai lage raho!

Asia Cup Finals
by RK Rajarama on Jul 07, 2008 11:58 PM  | Hide replies

The main culprit for loosing Asia cup finals is so called RUDRA(a abuse for lord shiva)He needs first catching practice(jaya's catch drop) & then bowling training(26 Runs in an over!!a gully cricket!)They arte good in taking tail enders wickets.

I dont think main culprit was Rudra but it was 5 able batsmen who failed to add minimum no of runs on the score board. our bowlers did well by restricting them to 273. and mind you India did not loose by 26 runs.

1983 team must travel to lanka
by veera on Jul 07, 2008 11:53 PM  | Hide replies

The 1983 team comprising Kapil, Gavaskar, Vengsarkar, Srikkanth, Binny and others will play better than the current team..

If possible we can include under 15 players and some great players who played in 60s and 70s..

Why Blame Dhoni !! He did his best..
by Arindam Sarkar on Jul 07, 2008 11:51 PM  | Hide replies


He did his best in this series, scored 327 runs, avg of 109 and Strk rt of 91.3. Made the highest dismissal as WktKpr, 11 in total

Check out our past records in Asia Cup..
Read along..
================================
Asia Cup, 2004, Final Sri Lanka v India
Result: Sri Lanka won by 25 runs

'We cannot lose so many finals' - Ganguly

The first step to solving a problem is often to admit that it's there in the first place. And Sourav Ganguly did that after the Asia Cup final when he admitted that India's performances in grand finals bordered on the unacceptable. "I don't know what it is, but we're not doing something right," he said. "We cannot lose so many finals."

For Ganguly, it was a ninth loss - against a solitary win - in 13 finals under his stewardship, and he accepted that falling short yet again was a devastating blow.

======================================================= ==========================

Asia Cup 2000, Bangladesh - India did not reach the final, Captain Ganguly

==================================================================================

Coca-Cola Champions trophy final, Sharjah 2000.
Srilanka - 299/5 , India 54 (FiftyFour) all down, captain Sourav Ganguly.

So....the things have not change.....as it was claimed by Dhoni, Ganguly-haters and the BCCI.....So bring back Ganguly.....atleast we can see a few good decisions, a united contingent and a shrwed, passionate captain who prefers the cricket pitch over the ramp....Dhoni's background gave him the courage to fight...but his lack of education took away his out-of-the box thinking....Ganguly played with 1 1/2 bowlers..So we lost each and every finals....Though you can show, but these players never performed well in the finals - zaheer khan, harbhajan singh and irfan pathan....Praveen Kumar, Ishant, Chawla, RP can perform....at least they can take wickets...After Harbhajan left, Mumbai started winning in IPL....

DHONI IS HIDING, SCARED OF LOOSING HIS FACE AGAIN
by Nakshathravana on Jul 07, 2008 11:44 PM

Its very clear to the world of cricket that DHONI's further failure will be dangerous to his career, his friend VENG has told him you better stay away from the test. Once again you fail you are gone, public will chappal you.
DHONI! You showed your arrogance as you are young and better than Dravid, Ganguly, Tendulakar, Laxman. You coward you are not even fit play rest of the games. You require rest means other players also played along with you. In a nut shell young is capacity to play is individual, mental capacity. YOU IDIOT LOST AGAINST 39 YEAR OLD PLAYER. YOU ARE HALF THE AGE OF JAYASYRYA. WHERE IS YOUR PERFORMANCE. VENG AND YOU SHORTLY WILL GET OUT FROM BACK DOOR
