Dhoni should take a break if he doesn't want to go the Ganguly way. Although failure in one tournament is not enough to judge a player, still a break will help him to clear the cobwebs in his mind and come back refreshed and back to his normal game
It was just a bad day for team India against WI. Dhoni's captaincy was ok by and large, only that it wasn't his day. However against England he can apply necessary course correction from the lessons learnt which should include: 1Dhoni should play his natural game and preferably come at no. 5 with Raina at no.3& Yuvi at no.4. 2.Continue with the bowler who is bowling well. 3..Slow bowling maximising. 4.Don’t hesitate to change the team for the next matches should it be felt necessary 5.Improve fielding---attack the ball rather than wait for it 6.Enjoy the game. Against WI the team did not seem to be enjoying the game and perhaps was the single biggest reason why the team failed.

Dhone should be thrown out of indian team. He scored 11 runs in 23 balls was he playing test match. He had fighting with shewagh and he send him off. He think he has become god of indian cricket. Just show him the door.

sachin opens in odi and scores an hundred: reactions: very easy to open in odi.
sachin bats 2nd down in tests and scores hundred: reactions:afraid so he does not open.
sachin while chasing 250 scores 90: reactions: scores only while chasing low totals
sachin bats first and scores hundred: reactions: can not bat while chasing.
sachin twice becomes top scorer in two world cups reactions :anyway he has ot won a world cup
sachin has got 55 man of match awards reactions: he did not deserve it
sachin scores hundred against bangladesh reactions: useless
sachin fails against bangladesh in league match: useless.
sachin scores hundreds: useless, he scores century n cb series finals( which no player from pak,westindies,southafrica,newzealand,srilanka has never done) useless, he scores batting first or second: useless,he is humble useless
but lara great ( scores 400 in 3 days but not selfish,has not performed to half of sachin in world cups but great, has not won half of matches what sachin won but great)
all players in the world who play once in a blue moon are great.gilchrist,hayden are not selfish even though they retired at age of 37yrs.kapil is the ultimate who played for 3 yrs so pathetically just to beat hadleys record but heis great.jayasuria is the best player in the world even though he has played miserably in foreign tours, average test record and still playing age of 40yrs but he is not. thanks indian fans

if he scores 298 , then u will say he don't even have a Triple century in Test Cricket... even players like Graham gooch,Mark Taylor,Mahanama scored Triple century..so go and say they r better player then Sachin?
Don't Compare Sachin only with statistics....he is beyond all this.... show me one men who has played 20 years and still way of all controversies, respected by everyone and loved by all over the World... playing for 2o years and carrying the expectation of so many Indians itself ais great and he has succeed on this.... his success lies he has taken the Indian cricket to next level as worlds one of the top team... Lara,Ponting,Jayasuriya all of them is no way comparable to him on this....

Then why all celebrated, when he crossed Lara's aggregate? This sorrow will remain till he wipes it off.
SA was to good for England , a total of 112 is too less in 20:20 cricket , England should have source atleast 150 to give a tuff fight to proteas. I think SA was superb and they good composure on such big stage , well done SA>
Now a days the english mens are very famous for day dreaming...Best of luck...This situation only can arise if they play with our women team...May be in that case also they will lose...
