I don't know what is true but it looks like Sehwag is being ousted because of politics. If Viru shoulder is injured how can he carry a bag on right shoulder and his kid in the left hand (I live in London..).. rest you guys know
Everybody knows that Veeru is the greatest batsman. May be he has got injured during IPL2 games. They should give him some time to recover. They should not send him to the home. Dhoni is good as a captain. He is good straight hitter of the ball, but not a class batsman. He is too much cautious on his batting and consistency. Because of his poor batting we could have lost the match against the Bangladesh. During the presentation ceremony, he is trying to saying to say that he won the game because of his skills as captain. He was trying not to mention about his batting skills and Yuvi's performance. Some times they should also give chance to second wicket keeper like Dinesh Karthick.

Thats all it could most probably is. people just read too much into things too fast. Am sure if there is a real issue it will easyly surface more and then one could go further with it. For now we should treat it for what it sounds like.
Sehwag is injured and the team is still doing well that is the bench strength of India.
On his blog, New Zealand bowler Ian O’brien gives a first-person perspective of dealing with the most destructive batsman in world cricket today: Dark times and demons
It’s been a while since cricket saw something that took your breath away while having you drooling for more. Contests in mediocrity between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, the horrendous attack that was far more than cricket, the snooze-fests between England and the West Indies. Cricket needed this.
The unleashing of the destructive force that is Virender Sehwag. There are numerous players who eviscerate bowling attacks on their day. Not Sehwag.
There is nothing approaching surgical precision about Sehwag’s batting. It is just pure unadulterated violent power and timing. The backlift seems to commence even as the bowler is completing his delivery stride. The front foot steps out of the way to let the arc of the bat describe almost a full circle. The angle of the bat is not bound by traditional encumbrances like being vertical of perfectly horizontal. It hones in on the ball at whatever angle can offer maximum violence. He doesn’t look to hit them very high, just very hard. Most of his sixes don’t seem to go too much over head height as they thunk into sightscreens, scoreboards, hastily vacated seats.
It was scary to watch. And I’m an Indian supporter!

Dhoni is just doing a great job. Dont dobt too much into it with your own insecurities. He has been managing the team so well.
India always had talent it was managing the talent we always had trouble wiht Gunguly did fairly well now Dhoni is taking a step further so far. Sehwag is a great batsmen and already a legend no cheap pollitics can replace him so fast. So just take a back seat and relax and enjoy team India doing well. Support your fav player just get aggitated too much with the once u dont like.
This is the perpetual problem with indian team. We can never be as professional as other teams, otherwise we wud have been the world Number 1 in all the formates of the game by now, given the amount of talent we have. This parading of whole team in front of media shows the kind of Egoist Dhoni is. He thinks he is beyond everything now and he can manipulate every situation and everyone. Sehwag is a Match-winner and one of the most destructive batsmen cricket has ever seen. He is unique in many ways. What if Dhoni gets unfit for a series and some new highly talented wiketkeeper batsman comes in his place and score couple of smashing centuries n win matches for india ...will we throw dhoni out of team? NO....bcoz he has enough political backup wihtin the BCCI. He is keeping dinesh karthick in team bcoz he will never be a threat to his place in the team. and that way he can also block the way of any other talented wicket-keeper batsman coming in to the team. wake up guys ...enuf is Enuf ...Sehwag is above all this silly politics....he a God's gift to indian cricket. he is a very simple man ..like his batting. we need to raise this issue being fans of indian team....and get rid of this silly politicians in the team. Save ...indian cricket...plz.

Now it appears you have the personal enemity with Dhoni. Because you are jumping into the conclusion without looking the other side of the coin.

Truth is not anyone personal's property. What you will write will be the truth. I am not citicizing Sehwag even. Satyamev Jayate is written on a coin, which is applicable for both sides, not for a single side. Satyamev Jayate can only be complete, when we know the other side of the coin, that's why every coin has both sides. If it is single sided, then there will not be Satyamev Jayate.

truth is not relative ....its not subjective or depend on views or sides. Truth is unique and pure. bcoz its true..!! as Bible says - "You shall seek the truth and truth shall set you free"..!! I know i can not be certain in my opinion but all my experience of cricket is telling me that there is something more to it that what it looks.

anyway sir, lets wait and watch wat happens next. we will meet again on rediff on the same issue. lets see ..i think i have said enuf to raise my concern.
"Injury is the most common excuse to remove and discourage any player in world cricket". bcoz common people can never know for certain whether a player is really injured or not, its mostly used as a excuse to change the team.

Please maintain 'Sharda, and Saburi', everything will be fine. Do not be so insecured.
WorldCup T20 is such a prestigious tournament for youngsters who are fit and rearing to go. Give them a chance while the senior injured pros can wait to get back to fitness (100%). There's no denying Viru's capability, but he can let some youngsters get a chance. Well, there's self-interest in players (they are only human).
few simple steps to get rid of your competitiors in a cricket team (Dhoni Style):
If you want to get rid of some highly respected player, who won more matches than you. do the following
1. look for a talented new comer who can take his place 2. give that new comer as many opportunities and support as you can and establish him as a great prospect 3. wait for your copetitors bad-phase or injury. 4. replace your competitior with the new talent 5. prove the point that new player is better than the previous match winner 6. discourage your competitor by politics and make things difficult for him 7. if he still make a come back wait for another opportunity 8. dont let any other talented new comer your place in the same way by manipulation ..

by Asim Mehtani on Jun 09, 2009 01:23 PM
Why you are so insecured ? After all if you look with the past, then most of the things have improved. Now we do not rely of Tendulkar, Dravid etc. Many new faces have come.
Re: Re: few simple steps to get rid of your opposition in team ..
by jitendra upadhyay on Jun 09, 2009 01:27 PM
Dear sir, its true that many things have improved but you are not getting the point that things have improved bcoz of lots and lots of efforts by the BCCI in training and facilities. its not bcoz of a single player or his skills. We can not allow someone to spoil the show of indian cricket. Truth is truth sir, A captain is as good as his team. This team is Good ...it can be great if it can be saved from politics. thats it.
Re: Re: Re: few simple steps to get rid of your opposition in tea
by Asim Mehtani on Jun 09, 2009 01:33 PM
Dear Jitender, now one thing is that you have agreed to a certain extend. Now the improvement is a collective efforts, and due to this collective efforts, the improvement has been seen. Now the problem with you is that you are seeing the one side of the coin, but not the other side of the coin. if you want your views be perfect, then also look the other side of the coin. Even no body knows the other side of the coin till now. Therefore, please wait to know the other side of the coin before jumping into any conclusions.
Please be assured to insecured guys, that do not be afraid, Viru will get a chance to play, once he is fit. Sehwag like his caliber does not suit for Bangladesh, and Ireland. He is reserved for mighty matches.
Re: To Insecured Guys
by jitendra upadhyay on Jun 09, 2009 01:22 PM
we are worried abt sehwag thats one thing. but we also want Dhoni out of team bcoz he is a very ordinary batsman and a silly captain.
Re: Re: To Insecured Guys
by Asim Mehtani on Jun 09, 2009 01:26 PM
India needs only ordinary person, not so sophisocated person, because only ordinary persons can make India win.

by chinna gan on Jun 11, 2009 10:55 AM
yes i agree the view that dhoni is an ordinary batsman we can find hundreds of such batsman (dhoni) in indian streets.now viru, yuvi and gauti regrets their selfless batting in the last t20. because of their great batting and good bowling performances by zaheer, ishant, bhajji and sreesanth we won the world t20 not due to dhoni's captancy. even if u make munaf patel this team will win in any condition. but without viru indian team cant tour australia or new zealand (only the great dhoni and his humble soldiers like raina, rohit cant win matches for our nation, we should ask dhoni and rohit to open the innings in perth, wellington and basin bridge pitches then only we can see these tigers talent)
I am not getting that if viru is not fit at all(as he is skipping the practice session) then why he giving his name for T20 worldcup same is the case with zaheer.Why they are thinking about himself instead of team. It will be better for India if we take Manish Pandey and Ashsih Nehra instead of injured players. Although I am a big fan of Viru but still not digest why he is skipping the practice session ans still claming the position in the team. Its rediculous.

If Sehwag is doing some kind og Drama or any problem with Dhoni, let him not waste time there, through him out of the team and call Manesh Pandey, the fearless hard hitter, better then sehawag.

what tomorrow some new big-hitting wicket-keeper batsman come in to the team when dhoni is injured. will u throw the dhoni out of the team? anyway, he is a very ordinary batsman. sehwag is not doing anything, its dhoni who is playing politics and instead of concentrating on his batting chase pretty girls. wake up sir
Re: Re: Re: Why Viru missed the practice again.
by Truely BJPian on Jun 09, 2009 01:46 PM
Ok if you think sehwag is fit then why he is not attending a practice session. Is sehwag thinks he can play without doing any practice.Is it logical, even in newzeland series dhoni was rested. Why everyone is making a issue. Enjured player is always harmful in team composition as they can breakdown any time. Comeon wake up man. We all want India to win the worlcup.
