but if every thing come his own way he can hit" Mr Kareem, is this the reason why Dhoni is regarded one of the biggest hitters of modern times? Why so much hype around Dhoni alone, then? If everything starts coming one's own way in T20, anybody can hit the ball. What's the big deal here?
super question..he can hit only spoty track, he like fat bowlers like magrath, ..he is the best..happy??but i want to know his strike rate in t-20 world cup and odi..more than 100???

Ravi Shastri without doubt. he is very predictable. I know what he is going say in particular situation. He was an ordinary player and very bad commentator.
Gawaskar and Harsha-though he sometimes talk too much- are good.

A femal Charector captain- Sachin Tendulkar.LG seems to be same charector ?
km vb,
do not put that club-level cricketer Dobhi along with legend like Kapil--he played a captain's knock in 1983 WC.
What was Dohni's contribution in winning T20? T20/20 was won because of great contributions from players other than Dobhi.

yeah, absalutly correct, T-20 was just a fluke, pak and indian didn't deserve final luck and yuvis magic,(not forgetting others contribution.)..as well as NOBODY TAKE SERIOUS ABOUT T-20 but after winning india 110 crore people made that success as world cup football. after that t-20 became popular, lucky dhoni became icon of indian criket.think ,if pak had won that world cup everybody would have forgotten this format.

km vb,
Holding up a major trophy does not mean winning.
Why could not he win IPL 2008/2009 for CSK? Do not tell me that match was fixed.
Beggar like you does not understand the difference between becoming rich by earning your wealth and becoming rich by begging or getting your wealth without your own efforts.
As both BRC and DC are well balance teams, it is going to be very good contest. It wont matter to me who wins in the end as long it turned out to be good contest between these two teams.

It would be nice to have him buddy, local flavour which the team lacks at the moment..
I would like see following XIs on the field in ODI & Test Test XI 1.Ganbhir 2.Shewag 3.Manish Pandey 4.Sachin (C) 5.Laxman 6.Rohit Sharma 7.Dinesh Kartik (WK), Much better keeper and batsman than club-level players like Dhoni and Patel 8.Harbhajan 9.Zaheer 10.RP 11.Ishant Sharma

Looks you have little knowledge of Indian Cricket. Dhoni is the Captain and not Sachin.

I have kicked Dobhi out from my XI. He is a club-level cricketer and highly overrated captain. I do not need him in my team.

Worst team and sure to lose any tournament! Its too early to chose Manish Pandey. And the worst captain a team can have. Harbhajan himself said that he wasn't used properly by Sachin and he also said that Sachin lack Captainship skills.
But I agree Sachin should be a part of ODI and Test team. And You cannot conclude with just a single tournamnet that Karthik is better than Dhoni. Karthik has let us down almost everytime, and he was given lots of chances to prove , but he flopped.

LG , a big salute for you..but sachin dosn't like indian captaincy, as well as dravid shuld be both team, saheer dosn't have place in ODI??THAT IS STUPIDITY.
Re: Re: My Indian XI for ODI & Test
by LG on May 24, 2009 07:49 PM
Kareem, I think it would be better to give chance to upcoming fast bowler like Sudeep Tyagi.
Well, Zaheer is there in reserve, when we need him most.
Sorry I forgot to include his name in ODI standby list
Re: Re: Re: My Indian XI for ODI & Test
by LG on May 24, 2009 07:52 PM
Yes Kreem, i know Sachin does not want captaincy but I do not want to give it to arrogant Sehwag.

wait wait, M Pandey is long way to go dear, he has scored runs agains weak bowlers, i think it will be tough when he face international bowlers like Styne, M Jhonson, S Aktar etc...Yup you can include D Kartik he has proven in past that he can play
Re: Re: My Indian XI for ODI & Test
by LG on May 24, 2009 06:08 PM
I have included M Pandey because the quality and authenticity of his stroke plays not because he score century.
one needs great techniques to hit fours through gaps but one needs only brute power to hit sixes.
Yes, He has long way to go. But he has potential to be great like Sachin. I felt same when I saw Sachin first time.
You may have different views, that is fine with me.

good inclution of V Kohili and Sudeep Tyagi.....T SUMANNNN --- he looks like recomendation canditate, he looks horrable while he is batting and look how he holds the bat or hits the ball....i can't stop laughing
Re: Re: Re: My Indian XI for ODI & Test
by gudguy on May 24, 2009 06:09 PM
one more point Sachin should give way to youngsters atleast now, there is loads of talent waiting.....SACHIN PLEASE GIVE WAY......at least in one dayers....such that ppl like Raina, Rohit, Kartik can come in otherwsie if sachin plays on for another 3 years then these talent would be on restricted to papers only so PLEASE SACHIN THINK ONCE
Re: Re: Re: Re: My Indian XI for ODI & Test
by LG on May 24, 2009 06:16 PM
Do worry my friend guddy. They are in my team along with Sachin. 2nd XI is in fact my ODI XI. So how can that he should give way for Raina , Rohit.
Re: Re: Re: My Indian XI for ODI & Test
