Politics is part of Indian cricket. and dhoni is not an exception. His relation with Raina and R.P. Singh is dubious. both are in great touch. Dropping R.P. singh who was the leading wicket taker in the IPL, in their first World cup T20 was unbelievable. No doubt Ishant is a fabulous bowler. but he is not in his good touch in present. At the same time not sending Raina at number 1 down is also suspicious. Some times I feel that Dhoni dosen't want Raina to lead the Indian team score. after 53/1 in 7.1 overs there was no need to Dhoni to come on bat. Track has already been made for inform Raina to come and demolish the opposition. But Dhoni had something else in his mind....He came at no 1 and wasted 8.1 overs. India added only 58 runs in the middle secession. Please Dhoni be aware, let the new comers perform give them more opportunity, because you were also new comer sometimes ago.

GOOD NEWS, he said that he would not be coming @no. 3, he said he was doing experiment by coming @ no. 3 against Bangladesh and Ireland !!! I can’t stop laughing, in world cup and T20 (where you can’t have much time) what experiments you are doing? Dhoni why din’t you do when INDIA have been in New Zealand, in IPL 2, in Warm-up matches ?? is this the stage to do your experiments ?? We all are luck that Yuvi clicked against Bangladesh else INDIA would have been out of the tournament !!! MIND IT – PEPSI AOUR BOLO - AIRCEL
If Dhoni is doing for his commercials lets not use his products, v all pledge that we will not use any of following products of DHONI REBOOK AIRCEL MIKSHAKTHI BOST SOME chocolate (don’t remember) PEPSI

Gandhiji did so many good things. But his followers and descendants have also honoured me and my work for India. I am sure as on date there are more Dhoni followers than Gandhi followers.
So you don't buy some products, it does not matter. I damn care for you rusted waste products in your family.
I storngly feel Dhoni is coming in at No. 3 to staisfy all the sponsors who put him in their advertisements and he has to show is face in TV in action. He is doing too many nowadays. SATURATING. It is like how much screentime an actor gets in a movie and is see by all. If Dhoni comes in No.5 or 6 in T20 no TV viewer will see him enough (or may not see him at all-innings/ match will be over by then) on TV in action.
If you notice he has brand new pink Reebok logo on his bat and he appears in a Reebok ad with Bipasha. I hope all this nonsense doe not cause problems within the team and affect good decision making.
Let him make all the money he wants but not at even a fraction of what is good for the team and country.
I can't think of any other proper reason why he does this again and again starting from CSK losing because of this. He comes in at No. 3 saying he needs to consolidate when:
1) there is NO batting collapse or crisis
2) there is already someone playing anchor role in the middle
3) Dhoni knows he is not in form and can't play big shots
4) far more clean hitters in their regular slots waiting and don't get enough deliveries
5) all this shuffling makes other batsmen insecure

Hitesh Bacchu, get lost or I shall kick you on your back
i had high regards for him. But the way he changed order just to regain his form is really Illogical. This stupid guy is not sending inform Raina & Yuvi and slowing down pace of Run Rate. i never thought he will be jealous of form of these two. Now question comes to mind, IS HE PLAYING FOR INDIA ?????

absolutely, I too have a doubt, is he becoming another AZAR!!!! playing for other countries
Dhoni's idea of playing as a SHEET ANCHOR is ridiculous in the sense that he frustrate an in-form Raina all the time. If he is playing the tpye of form Raina is in, it is alroght, but Dhoni is exposed badly and is struggling. Dhoni is still good in sub-continet specially in 50-50, but in 20-20, he is really shifting the balance of the side in negative direction.
Even if he gives no 3 nback to Raina now, it is not sure whether Raina has not lost his touch, being non-playing in both the games almost.
Dhoni needs to keep his act togahter now and there is hardly any breathing space.
dhobi will play at #3 when there is no pressure and he can make some runs and remain not out to increase his average... like jharkand/bihar politicians he is same way to look for his interests all the time...
Dear Indian Team, Its a time to play and not to experiment the batting order and its very well experimented and all are in good form. it s a time to check the bowling order India having a very worst bowling average with the leading countries like SA, NZ, Srila and WI. Changin the batting slot will not make any difference try to change the bowling combination
If ICC declared the Super8 Charts prior to the finish of group matches then what was the point to make them play.
Its horrible, India winning two matches is A1 whereas Srilanka winning two matches are C2.
What they have reffered God knows, it means if Netherlands would have won against Pakistan or Pakistan would have thrown out of the Super8 because of poor runrate, then actually in Group F teams would be like (A1:IRELAND,B2:NTHERLAND, C2:SRILANKS, D1: NEWZEALAND) making ways simple for Srilanka and Newzealand.
Both fools and intelligent people look cool as they hardly express their emotions.
Then how do you separate intelligent people from fools? ---Check their contributions (for example in cricket their contributions as batsman, bowler, or fielder/WK).
Since Dobhi has not contributed either as batsman or as wicketkeeper (T20 word cup was won by contributions from other, players). he is a fool with lots of arrogance.

Loser-Goner is the best replacement for him, since LG is world #1 in batting, bowling, fielding and wicket-keeping.
