AFTER T20 WORLD CUP WIN IN SOUTH AFRICA,INDIAN PERFORMANCE IN T20'S HAS COME DOWN.IT LOST TO AUSTRALIA,NEWZELAND,ALMOST LOST TO SRILANKA(PATHAN BROS WON IT FOR INDIA). SO DON'T EXPECT INDIANS TO WIN THIS WORLD CUP. INDIANS DID EXECPTIONALLY WELL IN ONEDAYERS AND TESTS (CONVINCINGLY WON AGAINST ALMOST ALL THE TEAMS). ANYHOW AS AN INDIAN, WISH BETTER LUCK AND AND TEAM COME HOME WITH THE CUP.

ash, it wasn't DHONI who won the matchs, performances of others made INDIA win matches from past 4 to 6 yeas. IN TEST matches SACHIN, DRAVID, GANGULLY, SEHWAG (in all formats) IN 2020 & One dayers YUVI, Ghambeer, Zaheer, Bajji, Irfan bros, Rohit, Sreeshanth, Robin, RP contributions made INDIA win unfortunately or fortunately for Dhoni he is the captain of these great players
The guys were laughing and showing attitude even when India was loosing the match.. Somebody stop throwing money at cricketers in the name of IPL pls...
The players who have found easy riches in the stupid IPL are finding playing for the country less attractive. Look at the change in the attitude of the likes of Raina, only arrogance and no charecter.. easily seen in the last match.
Ban the IPL or atleast remove the money factor from it... else it will easily cause disaster for indian cricket

Thats why people like sachin/dravid are great. But few biased fan & idiotic media makes these young player hero with one match performance & start comparing with greats.

Don't compare Dhoni with the like of Sachin,Saurav,Dravid,Laxman & Kumble.They have been great players for 15 years or so,leaving behind several outstanding records. Dhoni has to learn a lot. See how yesterday India got out of the T-20 WC Tournament under his captainship. He is now more interested in Ads & has become arrogant, Selfish.

For god sake don't comapre dhobi with greats like sachin/dravid/laxman/kumble etc. Its insult if cricket. This comparison can be done only by idiotic NDTV & few biased fans. win or no win dhobi can't be in great brackets.He is an ordinary player with extraordinary luck & political skill.

shows how little you know about the game. Hating dhoni is not enough to understand cricket .. in case nobody told you.

U idiots (zero knowledge of cricket) made dhoni grater than sachin just because of few win & forgot all sachin performane for last 15 yrs. Then why are u crying when same fan & media questioning dhobi for his failure. donot keep double standars please.

He won tons of match by his captaincy, wicket keeping, and batting. But you guys full of bull.shi.t can't understand lean patch what every batsman see.
Wining can not be always. If you want India win every match then stop watching Cricket.

dhoni dont bat da same way he used to. 11 frm 23 balls. 6 ovs 40 runs. n 11 ovs. 60 runs. dhoni was batting in between these ovs. dats where india lost da match. dhoni certainly needs to reconsider his approach to his batting. his match winning abilities have been reduced due to burden of captaincy as it had also happened wid ganguly. dhoni should step aside from captaincy and concentrate more on batting n win india matches as he was doing for india b4 becoming captain of india.

I don't know about Dhoni.. but as for Ganguly.. his performace was the same whether he was captain or not.. I mean he was never a real dependable performer.. but came good on some occasions
Re: Re: dhoni did india in
by kaushik dutta on Jun 14, 2009 06:58 PM
Ganguly played international cricket from 1996-2008. Just an ordinary player cannot survive such a long time. Scored more than 20000 runs in one dayers and tests. He also made comebacks, when rest of India was against him... Now the guy has retired and relaxing... Leave him alone and continue with your great players like Dhobi...

Hey, please please dont write dats in place of 'that's', and da in place of 'the'! And when you write wid in place of with, you do sound tipsy to the gills! If we all do that, then we cant fault Dhoni & Co. for taking shortcuts and failing subsequently.
definitely india can slip thru to the semi-finals provided dhoni sits out of india's remaining super 8 matches. it is his slow batting & unimaginative captaincy which let down india in the w.indies match.

Lucky and koshy,
I am not against Dhoni and certainly appreciate some of his leadership qualities.. but of late.. he has become more attitude and less performance.. certainly this is a worry for India.. dont you agree?
Re: Re: india's chances

U also look a stupid dhobi fan who will praise him for nothing like NDTV. Great like sachin & u idiot -start crying from top of the voice. Dhobi strike rate in T-20 is 100. Dhobi has not scored a single 50 in test overseas against quality bowling. majority of oneday runs on flat pitches & not out innings inflate his average. Never come in pressure situtaion oto bat taking advantage of captaincy. Has won very few matches on his own(that also during early days), a big manipulator & keep only his chamcha in team. Please donot overhype hin for nothing & compare with greats.
