Dhonis luck has run out..... He succeded due to too mch luck eing on his side........ He is overhyped... a media creation .... He is nowhere close to DADA who built team from scratch. and mentored match winners like Yuvi,Sehwag,Pathan,Harbhajan..etc..

and lets not forget Sachin excelled under Dada when his pressure was taken off. Dhoni has to take pressure off Sachin.
I have read Gilchrist's opnion about certain Indian players in past and I must say he is way off the reality. I am sure he doesn't follow up Indian plqyers performance on regular basis and that could be the reson of him not being too accurate with his comments.
Dhoni of lately is being complete failure in his batting. It seem he bats for his average only and strike rate is dropping considerably.
To Gilchrist and Ganguly's comment on Dhoni batting up highr on order to belt in enough over to settle. How many overs does he nees to settle? This is 50 overs game and he needs 10-15 over to settle then he is deffinately not fit for 20-20 and questionable for 50 overs game.

If he needs 50 overs for settle then why he is not performing in test match? … his average is below Nehra in test match …?

wtf? Nehra's average is 6.7 in Tests and Dhoni's is like a respectable 37 odd..are you nuts or just a blind Dhoni hater? Have you heard of google and cricinfo? Moron.
India is missing Yuvraj very badly... Had Yuvi been there, they would have won Champions trophy & 1st One-day vs Aus too... Please Yuvi, come back soon.

You are spot on Rishi. And he always seems to give excuses before crucial matches (like Players are injured OR Players are tired etc)... just in case they lost he can blame injury... Dhoni is coward. TRUELY.

india has more cricket experts than actual players. People who may not have lifted a cricket bat in their life speak as if they are the grandad of cricket. Especially people from Metros

Why one man takes all the burdon...Wicket Keeping, Brisk Batting in Middle order, Most toughest job ie Captaincy of India...now to bat up the order also when specialist like Sachin, Veeru, Gautam and other specialist batsman are there who can score fast as well as sheet anchor the inning... if they fail , Dhoni should not be blamed...Match is won and Lost by Team not by an Individual...He cannot run in every direction ...Tommorow you will come up with the suggestion that he should bowl the 1st over when Fast bowlers will not perform...
Did Kirmani, More, Sadanand Vishwanath, Dinesh Kartik and Patel took so many Jobs in the field...
Be Reasonable Guys....Stop Blaming him everybody's fault
He is a third-class batsman... his shot making is nothing but wild swing of a bat... iff the ball meets the bat during the swing hehehehehe :). Dhoni is no one, MEDIA has made him a hero for nothing, frankly...

yeah it is rough but very correct.. there is no elegance in his batting.... all indians are wristy players on the on side but he is only a wristy player... he hits cover drives also as wristy shots.... on the on side he is more of a slogger

Dhoni .. is a football goalkeeper style player …… can use Bat/ Ball/ Legs / hands and everything … can ask everyone to move up and down …. BUT CAN’T score anytime ….. a fulltime Captain without scoring ….
If Dhoni bats up in the order its very clear that the man first of all out of form, and no technique will spend surely some time at the crease … but India will surely put down due to the poor run rate and strike rate, he loves to play @ 20 strike rate ……
Gilly going for the shortcuts for AUS win…. But doesn’t worry even he bats down also will surely lose the match unless and until Yuvi / Veeru scores for India.
No one can save India at present level …. Change Dhoni from Captaincy, surely will India Back to the game as no captains will agree to play with this team, we need serious change all over.

gangully and gilcrist wat to see indian collapse..anyway it will happen..don't worry..
We respect u as a IPL player and captain for Hyderbad team and nothing else we now u better so stay away as nobody asked you when dhoni should play i think he is mature enough he doen't need u r advice. If Dhoni feels he is right and wants to take advice from other then it is our decession for dhoni quite Indian cricket and join the naxals with them or against them it is the same for u.

Frankly speaking dhoni doesnot have proper technic or ability to play at no.3.against quality bowling attack....he hides this inability by droping himself at lowerorder to play against part time spinners....no one is capable of playing at no.3 except great Dravid.....it's a prooven fact tat indian middle order is quite ordinary without dravid against quality pace attack...we cant expect much frm..raina, kohli,jadeja,dhoni...none of these players have the ability to hold the innings, build partnerships,play till the end while setting target or chasing the target....Dravid is an extraemly important player badly needed for team india now.....selectors should stop this nonsense of picking 20-20 players in to team india....india desperately needs Dravid at no.3..it's loud and clear..
Re: Re: Thank you
by Charlie Schembri on Oct 27, 2009 08:41 PM
You're absolutely right. Dravid needs to be in the team. Also, Dravid is probably the best sleep fielder India has.
