Dhoni must be sacked as captain in all forms of the game. I already wrote enough to prove that he is not like a smart captain. Indians who love their country too much can't bear shame anymore now. his stuborn behaviour is playing with the dignity of our country..he won't be tolerated anymore by the crowds..please for God's sake..let him take rest now and someone more committed player to the cause of the country (and not to the cause of money only) should be selected as captain of Team India. When he batted in a do or die match from CSK in 2010 IPL T20 to take his team to the semifinal, he was sooooooo committed that he made 44 runs in just 17 balls (from over number 18 to over number19.5,) whereas he while playing against Sri Lanka for his country just added 36 runs in 5 overs when India had still got 9 wickets in hand. There can't be any explanation for that behaviour on the part of Dhoni. He can now play for money only and not for his country. Enough is enough..why a single player can't be found out of more than one billion Indians to replace Dhoni. Srikanth should be sacked as well..Ravi Shastri or Bishen Singh Bedi could be a better choice for that job..thanks

Well said.
The people who want him to be given sympathy, do not probably work hard in their lives, to understand that respect can not be earned by careless attitute, and you can rest on past laurels as everyday you have to perform to earn your salary.
Probabaly there are VARUNS in this society who like the things for granted as there are millions of others who sweat hard to get few hundreds in a day, and here these bunch of basatrds getting lakhs/crores in a day (and that too public money) for not performing and being rowdy, careless and arrogant.

Yes you are exactly right, Vaibhav. Dhoni earned 25 million USD from IPL just in one year. Yes, the people like Veruns don't know how to maintain INTEGRITY of the country spirit as against individual spirit.

IPL is a gali type of cricket. Noway it can be compared with T20 world cup.
captain is one who is supposed to lead a team with correct team members.but in dhoni's case surely he has got lot of favourites like nehra,jadeja,harbhajan,ishant etc.nehra,ishant&jadeja had been selected again and again after their worst perfomance .harbhajan is one who is not only favourite of dhoni but also of many selecors and indian commentators.they have been showering their praises on him irrespective of his each worst performance.these guys are treated as match winners ,but in reality they are nothing but match loosers.dhoni is spoiling the carrer of lot of players like robin uthappa,irfan pathan,sreesanth,manish pandey,abhishek nayar etc..

wow nice fantasy. A captain needs the resources he trusts to get the job done. Secondly a captain has got to take decisions. And sometimes they go wrong, esp when the execution falters.
Re: Re: captain
by NOBLE on May 16, 2010 09:47 AM
Why would a captain then be instrumental in having a poor selection of the team done. Dhoni is such an arrogant person that he did not even care the Team's coach but with the connivance of a brainless man (Srikanth) got a team selected which could not be trusted at all. Why Dhoni did not get a team of trusted people to have his army of resources right. Thanks

Dhoni's shameful record 2009 WC-- first round exit 2009 CT---first round exit 2010 WC---first round exit ASia Cup---bad performance 2007-----won due to others performance
Dhoni is hiding behind performance of others like Sachin,Sehwag,Gambhir,Raina..if they fail Dhoni never performs..
Dhoni is destroying team built by hard work by Dada.......
Dhoni is creating problems for matc winners like Sehwag & other better players in the team.. supporting idiots like Jadeja

oh Dada is great ,,,,why did he not even enter Sf of IPL for atleast once..in 2003 it was bcos of Sehwag and Sachin.not the least of Dada.u looser
Re: Dhoni's shameful record!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by shankar on May 17, 2010 10:28 AM
Well said Dhoni will be more careful on players like Shewag, Gambir, Yuvaraj and won't maintain good relation with them. Not treating well, at last they were the true match winner's.
Sachin only support's Dhoni's captaincy because he was reason for Dhoni who became Captain of Indian side in 2007 T20 world cup. Because he don't want Ganguly to captain the side.
Re: Re: Dhoni's shameful record!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
by sunder on May 16, 2010 04:22 PM
What happenned Vinay was hit in his first match ??Did he bowl great or what ???
I found the efforts to safeguard these cricketers by some TV channels, some ex-cricketers and even by SACHIN, as RIDICULOUS and PATHETIC.
No body is saying that they should be permanently removed from the team, BUT
1. when the same crciketers enjoy the GOD like status in INDIA, do they complain?-NO
2. when the same GREDDY cricketers earn millions or enjoy glamor, sex and money, do they complain?-NO
3. when the same breed of IRRESPONSIBLE crciketers inaugurate shows, initiatives and beome brand embassadors, do they complain?-NO
4. when the same DISGRACED cricketers every bit of opportunity to ramp and model and earn millions for their advertisement, do they complain?-NO
5. when the same crciketers enjoy every bit of social and emotional and economical beneift, they they do not realize that they are also HUMAN being, NORMAL human being?, then WHY they want a courteous and thoughtful response from PUBLIC, who game them everything what they are today. WHY THEY COMPLAIN in asking that it was just one OFF bad show.
Or else, these cricketers should not EXPLOIT their popularity in exploiting public in making money, bank balance and social status, or ELSE they should be ready to be CRITICIZED, BOOWED, and even SLAPPED in public and by PUBLIC.
YE PUBLIC HAI, you can make a few of them fool, but not all of them.
DHONI deserve the biggest criticism of not able to HANDLE STARS of the team and let them behave they want. He failed as a LEADER of nation.
Re: CRICKETERS DESERVE A CRITICISM BEYOND DOUBT

Did players ask for god like status ?. - No. So why blame then for something like failure that happens in cricket for all teams. Address the technical issues these guys have against bounce. Instead witch hunting is the Indian way. Pathetic and immature indian fans are.
Re: Re: CRICKETERS DESERVE A CRITICISM BEYOND DOUBT
by vaibhav kumar on May 16, 2010 09:11 AM
Then they should not come and exploit their reputation. Why they walk ramps and appear as BRAND ambasadors. Why they accept being youth icon. If they want everything in their kitty, such criticism will come and they should show HUMBLENESS in accepting it.
Only yesterday, that LIER NEHRA was telling nothing happended in PUB, whereas RANJIB BISWAL (on TV), clearly told that there was some issue and was sorted out.
That means your youth icons are LIARS as well. If you are okey with this, probably you do not belong to this country. There is no SHAME left in these creatures neither any humality to be respected. They are bunch of ROWDY, INDISCIPLINE and MONEY oriented people, who should be slpped on the face.
Your support to them is as humuliating as your personality of saving someone who is a non-performer and non-contributing.
We Indian cricket fans are to be blamed for all this nonsense going on. Had we not worshipped the so called role models , they would not have been earning the way they are earning today. Money is pouring from every corners without any efforts for these Indian cricketers , they are not patriotic like cricketers from other countries.
We should treat cricket like any other sport played in India, and not give too much of an importance to the so called cricketers.
Re: shame to all Indian cricket fans
by Varun on May 16, 2010 08:25 AM
very true. They create false expectations and then behave like a lynching mob. Are we becoming pukistan ?.
Does BCCI care much about India? why should they? why should they care whether the indian team wins at an ICC tournament? If the ICC tournament conflicts with their IPL agenda, they prefer that the BCCI team play for IPL first and then consider india or whatever.
In the recent past, BCCI argued in the court that the team it selects is a BCCI Team and not an Indian Team. Now, do you have any doubt why the indian T20 Team does not get to play even a single practice match before a World cup?
if every other team can play short balls ,y cant team india ???,where is the discipline and winning spirit in team india.remove unfit players and those who cant follow discipline !!!!!
Re: want complete change in team india
by Sameer Joshi on May 15, 2010 09:37 PM
Mr.Yuvraj Singh should kicked out of the team...he is only broadning his a** no significant contributions
What would that do good? Why not rather speak up against the state of the team, where goons like Yuvi freely making mokery of the nations beloved sport. Why not speak against Selector and BCCI, who are unaccountable and simply living kingsize life with all the money earned from Indian cricket..
Nobody is going to be sacked everyone has done a gr8 job the selectors, BCCI and the captain so the show continues. All r a bunch of jokers no professionalism no accountability only using each other to f@@l us and make money

Why are u guys letting urself be fooled? Just accept defeat in the same way you do for victory and don't take anything personal. It's not hard u know.
Re: Re: Re: shwo goes on

We Sri Lankans have not won a major tournament in 14 years. But we r not compaining or furious @ our heroes. It won't do any good. Just burns our own blood.

by Spitting Cobra on May 15, 2010 08:43 PM
Nothing personal but that Sri Lnaka.. Indian cricket is very different and nation moves around that one sport. With all the money and over a billion population, people have every right to criticize their team, when they fall out in the fashion as they did in this WC..
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: shwo goes on

Cmon we love our sport too. We care about it as much as every other nation. This is a matter of reality. we too criticise our players but not like this.
Re: Re: shwo goes on
by Bhadra Nagarjun on May 15, 2010 08:48 PM
We would have accepted that defeat if they had given some best performances in Super 8's. Nehra said that they had given their 100%. Just can't accept that! Just see Afghanistan. They didn't have big wins but they are satisfied with their performance. Because they know that they have given their 100% and all who have seen those matches would accept that. Just see the performance of Paki's in the last match. They gave their best still lost (thanks to Hussey). Now thats 100%. But in our case. There was not even a single good performance in Super 8's.
Re: Re: Re: shwo goes on
by Varun on May 16, 2010 08:28 AM
Well thats your problem. They have issues on conditions which they are not suited to. What did BCCI do ?. nothing. India hasnt even played on foreign soil in the last 1 year, if my memory serves me right. Dont have pitches in india where one can get exposure. So then how would it happen ?. Miracle ?.
