Re: Changes by Anurag Rathore on Jun 17, 2009 11:22 AM Poor thought. If any player deserve captaincy rather than Dhoni then that man is G.Gambhir. Team should be selected only by captain because he is responsible for team performance.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Changes by Harish Iyer on Jun 17, 2009 11:24 AM yes. he can be considered seriously. as his name suggests, he shall be pretty serious captain!.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Changes by vathula on Jun 17, 2009 11:25 AM Why should the captain bear full responsibility? Cricket is a team game. Dhoni is not so good in test/ T20 but is still very good on ODI because he has become a 'singles' player now. Gambhir does not have any experience as captain.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Changes by Anurag Rathore on Jun 17, 2009 11:29 AM Gambhir is the player who is fixed in all formats. Yuvi never looks confident as captain. Viru lacks basics of cricket knowledge. Captain should be one for all formats. We have seen comparison between Kumble and Dhoni in past which was not good.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: Changes by vathula on Jun 17, 2009 11:32 AM Yuvi was well supported by Sanga and Mahela. The same way he can be supported by seniors. One good thing abt Yuvi is he is emotional but never egoistic in captaincy. Very visible in KXIP.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Changes by Rahul Shinde on Jun 17, 2009 11:35 AM emotional and loose temper are not good qualities of captaincy.. :) Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Changes by Rahul Shinde on Jun 17, 2009 11:25 AM Good points.. but do you think this will be a bigger politics when captain will not take any decision for selection.. which player is good and which is bad.. instead of this.. selector team will play more politics !!    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Changes by vathula on Jun 17, 2009 11:28 AM the 3 cpatains and some senior past players like Kumble etc can select the selectors, rather than a regional selection. Unfortunately, today, the captains (Dhoni, Ganguly etc) have too many preferences. That is even worse.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Changes by Anurag Rathore on Jun 17, 2009 11:31 AM After Ganguly interfere, it was possible to stop regional politics in selection.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: Changes by vathula on Jun 17, 2009 11:34 AM Personally, I like democratic captains like Sehwag or Yuvi or Dravid. I dont like authoritarians like Dhoni or Ganguly. This style works only for a couple of years and then fail.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Changes by Anurag Rathore on Jun 17, 2009 11:36 AM We got best result in Ganguly and Dhoni era. Even Kumble said very balanced words for Dhoni yesterday. He said a one series failure is acceptable when we are winning each tournamnet from last 2 years. Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Changes by Anurag Rathore on Jun 17, 2009 11:42 AM How can you say that before seeing him 2-3 tournaments more? Same was said for Dravid, but after WC debacle we won against SA and Eng. Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Changes by Anurag Rathore on Jun 17, 2009 11:33 AM Don't forget the 80s and 90s where all players belong to Delhi or Mumbai. After captain got power we are seeing players from small towns.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: Changes by vathula on Jun 17, 2009 11:37 AM That is because Mumbaikars are interested in money and not cricket. This is a trend all over india/ world. the big cities will not produce great sportsmen, all are trying to become investment bankers!    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Changes by Harish Iyer on Jun 17, 2009 11:23 AM problem is some players overlap in formats. then conflict can arise .    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Changes by vathula on Jun 17, 2009 11:30 AM If there is one country where the overlap can be reduced that will be india. there is plenty of talent in india, but unfortunately regional and personal factors affect the selection.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: T-20 is not for judging performance..... by vathula on Jun 17, 2009 11:21 AM in NZ also, india lost both the (100%) of T20 games    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: T-20 is not for judging performance..... by deewaker pandey on Jun 17, 2009 11:21 AM one more loss for india. they had an easy total as they cn play spin well so on slow wkt they wer suppose to play well bt they could nt do. 1 thing , which i believe, very few ppl have noticed is the dhoni run out incident. first dhoni ran out for a single which was near impossible. then he himself come as runner for harbhajan(surprisingly). if anybody remember then 1 ball b4 harbhajan got out, he did nt took an easy single. yuvraj ws half pitch away frm the crease. he ws shocked n it cn be read frm his face. It seems that there is some controvercy betwn yuvraj n dhoni n they hv shown it in ysterday match.they were playing wid personal bias. wht I feels is-lack of unity in the team tht cause india's earlier exit frm the tournament. it seems controvercy among the 4 main players- dhoni,yuvraj,harbhajan and sehwag. their face cn be read during the match. from the start of the world cup we could nt find usual smile on their face. something is goin wrong n they need some counceller.    Forward   |   Report abuse
