Dobhi is insecure about his capability of scoring fast and putting decent total for India, in case top order (Sehwag/Sharma, Ganbhir, Raina, UV, Sharma/Sehwag) all fail to make good contributions---you can check all IPL matches where he could carry on the momentum.
So, Dobhi, decided to come at # 3---if he fails that he usually does there are Rainsa, Sharmas, UVs to save his ass. If they also fail, Dobhi can save his ass by blaming batsmen or bowlers.
can any one say to dhoni , that suresh rana is much better than him as a batsman and he can accelerate run rate. yesterdays match, i was very pleased that he was bowled, otherwise india would have definitely lost. kindly ask dhoni to come down the order , 6 and beyond. what do u think?

With the kind of batting order that India has, it is foolish for Dhoni to promote himself ahead of Raina, Yuvraj and Yusuf. Dhoni does not have the ability to score at a strike rate of 150 plus. I hope Dhoni would have better sense next time.
bhajji is surely loosing on his number one spinner slot of his. if India were to go with one spinner Ojha will get ahead. he looked capable of picking wicket with every ball where as Bhajji looked no where near that

bhajji is waste bowler. even today kumbai can take more wicket in one day matches with best economic rate. new bower Ojha is impressive and he bats good as well.
see the IPL performance, kumbai won atleast 4 matches from his own bowling and have made impact on most of the matches. with bhajji, mumbai can't able to win single match, sachin prompting him to top order for batting. sachin didn't have to fait in own batsman. bhajji is going to be hinstory soon. because of wired act in downtown in aus, many indian in melborne facing racist problem. during that time, for publicity, media in aus have mad big issue and that spread hate among indian in aus. having said that aus will pay price for their mis-chief in the future. for every action there is consequence.

bhajji is mentoring ojha like kumble mentored him..both are equally good their is no doubt abt that. And the fact is some times some one clicks and the other time the other person doesn't. As long as the team is performing well with both these spinners their shud be no arguments over who is better..as i personally feel Ojha is young and dynamic and is more suitable for one day format while Bhajji has nothing to prove he is a world class bowler in all formats.
People-mostly Biharies with multiple IDs— have gone mad and coming out with statements with out any logic.
Dobhi slams media Manmohan Singh should learn from him Dobhi is good at management as they said in case Lalu (MBA students should learn from Lalu Blah blah).
I can say with confident that these people actually suffer from inferiority complex and want feel good by promoting an ordinary cricketer like Dohni who resembles them in many ways.
Re: Why People are hyping Dobhi?

LG boy,
I really appreciate your sense of humour. You can write scripts for comedy films or may be you too can try your hand in acting.( you will be naturally fit for the role-of course).
The hinderance to India will be South Africa and New Zeland. AGAINST NEW ZELAND: 1. Irfan Pathan should be replaced with Praveen Kumar as in the ODI against NZ series. Irfan Pathan is pathetic in bowling. He may fill in the 6th spot as a stock bowler but certainly not as a strike bowler. But Praveen kumar can definitely fill in the 2nd or 3rd spot as a strike bowler.
Irfan Pathan can bat better than Praveen Kumar. But, if 6 regular batsman cannot score through 20 overs, where is the need for the 7th batsman in Irfan Pathan????
AGAINST SOUTH AFRICA:
It definitely needs a great effort from everyone to beat this balanced SA team.
Most of Indian defeats in the past has been due to useless idea of playing only with 4 regular bowlers and that too Irfan pathan as the main strike bowler. Unless India plays with 5 regular bowlers, we cannot win easily as we have done yesterday. Useless policy of Azharuddin playing only with 3 regular bowlers and 2 part time bowlers should be abolished.
As mentioned earlier, Pragyan Ojha and Praveen Kumar are far superior bowlers than useless Irfan Pathan.
Ashish Nehra is a better bowler than Irfan Pathan & RP Singh.
Also Dhoni should not make the mistake of coming up in the order unless India is placed in a precarious condition like 10/3 etc.. His position in 20-20’s is ideally 6 and nothing before that.
The way Dhoni rotates his bowlers and instills confidence in his players is excellent. Now which captain has the guts to give bowling to a part-time bowler like Yusuf Pathan in the first 6 overs. He adjusted harbhajan's voers in such a way that he bowls till the last few overs. You make call it luck or his management skills, whatever Dhoni does clicks for him.
He even made a worthless bowler like Joginder sharma bowl so well in the finals against Pak in 2007.

Warne did that in IPL? Dobhi just copied it. Stop hyping Dobhi the way some people hyped Lalu in the past for his management skills.
Re: Re: Dhoni's man management is excellent
by LG on Jun 07, 2009 08:00 PM
why did not Dobhi used the same so -called management skills in to win IPL 2008 and 2008?
Re: Dhoni's man management is excellent
by Srinivasan Renganathan on Jun 07, 2009 07:25 PM
Dhonis' greatest skill was in kicking out Joginder Sharma from the team.
But, Dhoni should play with 5 regular bowlers, replace Irfan pathan with Praveen Kumar, so as to strengthen the bowling department.

ha-ha. don't know how he had managed to get into the team in the first place.
It seems like people from England and S.A. are having lots of money..... As per announcements from IPL and ICC, all tickets are sold out.. Stadiums are not filled up fully for all the matches... Either this might be a publicity stunt or people over there do not have value for money or they might be trying selling tickets in black market LOL :)
Sanjay Manjrekar while commenting yesterday told that India had 2 spinners in Harbhajan Singh & Yusuf Pathan. Then he added that Ojha is also playing as if he was an unknown scotland player.
After Ojha getting two wickets, Manjrekar told that those wickets are not to be credited to the bowler (Ojha).
If that's the case, not even a single run of Useless Manjerekar will be credited to him Everybody knows, Manjrekars batting,particularly in ODI's where he will struggle to get 10 runs from 30 balls. That idiot should be kicked out the commentary team.

I agree srinivasan... ESPN STAR Team already noted this fact and alerted Sanjay Manjrekar to get his brain updated...

LG, Dont repeat your useless words again and again in this forum.
You are predicting that West India will reach the semifinals instead of India. This itself shows your cricketing knowledge. You are a pessimist, so only this can be expected from people like you.

This LG is an useless half baked fellow.
While posting in the afternoon that the present Indian teams chances against West Indies is 8 out of 10 in all formats of cricket, this useless moron is asking, what about the other possibility of the other (2 games) in India losing to West Indies.

All of you Srinivasan, aga sra, savior, in search are the guys who think from their feet , that you are talking nonsense.
Though I do not agree with Sanjay Manjreker but I agree whathe said about first two wickets of Ohja even though I think highly of Ohja who is better than Harbhajan at present.

If you were intelligent enough you could understand others people's point of view.
My assessment about has not changed--first do something special than criticize someone like SM.
INDIANS SHOULD OPEN WITH SEHWAG RUNS COMES LIKE BULLETS IF SEHWAG IS ON THE CREASE. ALSO I WISH SPIN DOCTOR ANIL KUMBLE SHOULD BE GIVEN CHANCE TO PLAY IN T20 WC H.M.SINGAPPAIAH

The level of fielding in international T-20 matches is very high and tough, Kumble cannot live upto those standards.
