Congratulations Team India....for a series win in WI...But hey this is was not the greatest series i ever enjoyed...Yuvraj was remarkable...And Dhoni played responsibly atleast this time...So its going to be good for India to move on from T20 defeats....Good Luck

It is incorrect to presume that D/W Rule gave India any advantage. On the other hand India was put to severe disadvantage by being called upon to score at a higher asking rate with a curtailed power play and no batsman's power play while W.Indies had their full quota of power plays. And do not over look the slow outfield which had become slower due to incessant rains, making scoring boundaries more difficult.We should have a deeper look before taking away credit from Team India.

Yup.... the greatest triumph in India's 75 odd years of cricketing history.... absolutely....
To win a series 2-1 is no joke..... and we did it.... our team is the greatest and needs to be made the permanent number one ODI champions by ICC for the next 100 years.... no one can even touch us....

Wow. he must be scoring triple hundreds in that one match to stay on top of ODI rankings. Why dont you think before you write. Why make a fool of yourself.

They just realised Dhoni's 2009 ODI average is 90. And they scratchng their heads as to why they are abusing a person who has that much average..also these Dhoni bashers are none other than Tendlosekar fans. They cant fathom the fact that India can "WIN" without this Tenduckar in the team...

There is nothing to boast about India's win. The first match could have gone either way. Second match India was hammered. Thried match was won on account of the rain /DL method. Fourth was washed out. So nothing great about Dhoni or his captaincy.

U can say there was nothing great abt the series win. But Dhoni's performance was excellent. In all the three matches he batted like a champion.

blah blah blah blah blah....that is for losers. What's the end result of the series? That is what "matters"..An BTW, "RINGS" matter. And Dhoni has "ONE". The celebrated for have "ZERO"...
BTW, People will remember Federer for his 15th GS title. Not that Nadal didn't play...

Still win is win, but I agree with you Avinash. I don' think this team is that robust-world beater yet. It seem this team is revolving around 2 Openers, Yuvraj and Dhoni. I wish Dhoni stop comming at #3 and get Raina/Badri/Sharma ready for #3. Dhoni should be slogging-remember he is also a captain of Indian T20 team and he must regain his slogging touch.. Bowling should also be concern
Re: Re: Dhoni, Man of the series

blah blah blah..whatever. Dhoni's so called abuser were critical of his performance in T20WC mainly.
Dhoni has done better in ODI and Test (although average worth a crap as Ganguly had better average a year ago and Team India was loosing), but his T20 record is not so impressive atall. Dhoni is better the way he came to international cricket, and wish he regains his slogging style. Likes of Raina and Badri can built innings and Dhoni should be slogging the way he used to... BTW, I am not Tendulker fan but Team india fan..

Nah, you're wrong. From my observation, it is mainly Dravid and Ganguly fans who hate Dhoni since he kicked them out.

Just keep reading comments from the immatured ones and the fanatics, who constitute 90%, on comments. You will get more crazy and won't know what you are reading. Automatically your account closes, mentally at least.
