Bravo had played splendid inning so Yuvi may make a difference if he was tried for bowling against WI. It is high time to Dhoni to came in lower order slot after Bhajji and prove himself if batting required at that slot.

truer words were not spoken before.Hats off to you for calling this guys' bluff.He is indeed highly overrated, hyped by indian media and essentially a very very selfish average player who just likes to save himself.And not to forget he hashad a hand in getting lots of talented players axed from Indian team/probables so that his status remains unquestioned.Its called "m.r.thi m.n.os" mentality which was started and guided by gavasker,shastri,more,vengasarkar,wadekar et al for furthering their own selfish interests.
we know that dhoni is not fit for test match as batsman if he cannot even bat in T20 then for what he is in the team dhoni is not of the class of FAB 4 whatever u say i still remember young sachin and sourav opening 4 india and making runs at will against any opposition except yuvi and a bit rohit sharma none of them r of that class

we can not expect that dhoni is the same category batsman like sourav,sachin,rahul,laxman and also not a good skipper like saurav.he will feel the hit now.

Saurav didnot play any T-20 worldCup. Sauran has played decently for his culkatta team in the two IPL tournament he played so far. Saurav is better batsman and Captain than Dhobi. all the win under Dhobi so far is due to excellent performance of Yuvraj,Zaheer,Yousf,Rohit Gambir,Harbhajn,Raina and our great Sewagh. But Saurav has led the team from front and MOM in many matches So comparing Saurav with Dhoni is like comparing Great himalayas with Vindiya hiils . it is hightime Dhobi should be kicked out from the captainship and also from the team.
there is no doubt dhoni cost india the match today, really there is no excuse to taking 3 rpo off chris gayle's and whoever the other spinner dollys whatever the match situation. at least a run a ball should have been the norm. dwayne bravo came in at a similar situation when the west indies run rate was 6 an over and he managed singles of every ball with zero risk. the more i see dhoni the more doubtful i become of his batting abilities. almost painful to watch his nudges.
we critisize players like ganguly,dravid,laxman that they r not fit for T20 bcoz they 36 or 37 y old and budhhas at leat when they were 27 yr old like dhoni they used to be far better batsman than dhoni if these T20 had been 10 yrs ago sachin and sourav would have been sucessfull heavily dhoni is making 11 runs in 23 balls he is only 27 what will he do when he crosses 30 he will bcom much slower

How many Khel ratna's did Saurav win for his batting ? Or for that matter Dravid / Laxman ? Lol.....
In your Message it is mentioned Interestingly, this was the first meeting between the two sides at the historic Lord's in 26 years. The last match between India and the West Indies at the venue was the 1983 World Cup final, which India won to claim its first and only 50-over World Cup title. It was not . It was 60 0ver world cup. From 4th world cup 1987 it was made 50 0vers
The turning point in yesterday's match was the simplest of run-out of Bravo missed by Dhoni. And every now and then Dhoni promotes himself thinking he is a great bat. If u notice over the last 2 yrs, he has started batting like Dravid ( of course, minus his class ). And he looks so ugly playing those prods and pushes to the spinners. I think we need to be positive about every match with such a good batting line-up. So its better to give maximum overs to the bit time hitters like Y.Pathan and Yuvraj. In case they get out early, we always have people who can play defensive cricket. Even against Bangladesh, the other day, Dhoni was playing negative cricket.

Well written. It was really disgusting to watch Dhoni playing those prods and pushes to part-time West Indies spinners. In fact, this has become a regular feature of Dhoni's batting over a period of last one year. It seems that he has lost his attacking batsmanship which we witnessed in his first year of international cricket. In yesterday's match, he was over-defensive. Agreed, India had lost three quick wickets, but there was no justification in making 11 runs in 23 balls considering that there was nothing in the bowling or in the wicket.

well we have lost only 1 match but if u see the context then it threatens the future yesterday's pitch was not a flat track it had a bit of bounce IN T20 our batsman failed excpet yuvi what will these young fellows do in a test match when there will be 3 slips, 2 gulleys and on a seaming track in ENG india will topur ENG in september 2011 by that i dont see sachin or rahul or laxman in test team after ganguly retires yuvi failed in NZ again in 2002 and 2007 we drew and won test series bcoz of good batting from sachin,sourav and rahul remeber how they demiated ENG IN 2002 IN HEADINGLEY WHEN ALL 3 OF THEM MADE 100S ON A SEAMING TRACK AGAINST DULL FLEGED ENG ATTACK,INDIA MADE SOME 628 wether gambhir or yuvi they r not of that calibure yuvi still fails in abraod test mathces forget dhoni, he is not a test batsman what will dhoni do in 2011 when INDIA WILL TOUR ENG AND SA all these young guns shall fail
