Guys, don't give nonsense excuses, how could such a solid team loose all of a sudden, i think we can expect the great fixing history to repeat itself, it just took time for Dhoni to realise the money.
Re: That last ODI was fixed left right and center.

everyone(Dhoni) is not like you.it must be your habit not Dhoni
Though Winning and losing is part of Game there are couple of decisions that are taken by Management were not in right directions irrespective of result. 1. Bowler Replacement : Balaji IF at all he needs to get a chance it should be in place of I.Pathan not Praveen Kumar.I don't agree with idea of giving chances to players just because they are there. 2. R. Jadeja should replace either Y. Pathan or R Sharma . He cannot replace regular spinner P. Ojha . Going into a match with second sting attack is not a correct decision. Even if we win few match thats not the way team management should experiment. 2.
The reason y India lost is they had now bolwes excepts Ishant Sharma. Of course if some one says we had Balaji,Irfan Pathan,Jadeja I have explanation. Balaji was playing after long gap...too much to expect from him to fire immidiatly.. Irfan Pathan not the same bowler anymore...even tailenders play him with ease.. Jadeja never a regular bowler though had success in ranaji ..importnatly was on debut. My team should have been. 1.Sehvag 2.Gambhir 3.Yuvraj 4.Raina 5.Dhoni. 6.Jadeja 7.Zaheer 8.Ishant 9.Balaji 10.Irfan 11.Rohit BY selecting this team it would have served both winning and giving chance 2 bench strength
the new kid showed gr8 character n played well in his debut match. although he was a bit slow, but he came at no 8 n he was playing his first match. he came to bat when asking rate was already 7.5 rpo, a tough task for anybody. but still he kept his cool n played well to remain unbeaten at 60.

Boss, ur comments amuse me. When the field is spread out and the bowlwers merely want to contain you, u just have to nudge to get singles and remain not out if u are not bothered about winning. That is what jadeja did, and that is not a grt attitude to have. Imagine in a similar situation in a world cup final if someone were to play that way and we lose, all of us wd be after him! Jadeja needs to show more intent if he wants to find a place in the indian team on a permanent basis.
