Re: Just six specialist batsmen?

True, 6 batsmen not enough ? Dhoni get your head checked. Poor lad he has been speaking gibberish foracouple of days.
Dhoni is alone responsible for India's early exit from Champion's trophy. The selection of team is primarily responsible as Dhoni is interested only to include his cronies. Many good and performing cricketrs are left behind in India. Even if some of them are included in the final team( with the insistence of the chairman of the selection committee) he is not playing them in the actual playing eleven.
His own tactics (if any) and his oweful batting are equally responsible. It is time he quits or be sacked to make way to a more realistic and responsible captain. We need a captain who can handpick talent and not by region. Sehwag will make a good choice.

Isnt it true that none of the bowlers can bat (harbhajan is a slogger) ? Is it not true that they bowled real bad?
Dhoni and his cronies .. sounds rhyme but far from truth. The players played real bad. You have Nehra, Amit mishra, Ishant, Rahul dravid - all have two left feets, cant field at all. Bowling wise very incosistent (amit mishra needs more chance).
Yusuf is IPL T20 player only. Period. So there is more wrong in this team than Dhoni alone.. Its a bad team.
Either most of you are kids or novice. I remember clearly that selectors selected the team after seeing their performance in previous domestic and international matches. Now if they do not perform coach should be sacked not the team. This same team won in West Indies and Srilanka, back-to-back tournaments. Only fault which I can find with the team is that some old players like Dravid do not know how to run between the wickets. For that selectors are to blame.
Mr.Dhoni. the fielding part is verymuch important.if your regular bowlers are failing, why you have not tried sachin & Raina continously. Further your strategy of bringing in kohlis is good, but you should made him bat at 1 or 2.Inthat position only he has scored runs against srilanka. We lack confidence also while fielding.
