No doubt, Dhoni is a good captain and he won us the WC 2011. But to give all credit to him is only demeaning the contribution of others. He is lucky to have a good team of individuals and coaching staff. Like they say a captain is as good as the team. He cannot repeat the same performance by captaining minnow teams.

Mr.Iyer, it is not merely for the past 4 days. It is actually for the past 2 months. The English news channels have gone over-board as if cricket is the be all and the end all. The players are over-hyped and cash awards, mostly by State Governments from the tax payers money, are pouring in. It is ridiculous. The word `world' for cricket is a misnomer. They talk of `one billion' audience for the game, forgetting that the entire one billion is in our poor country! A glorified game, pure hype and wasting the nation's time and diverting the attention from more pressing issues like poverty, scams, inflation etc.

I agree with you all. Sonia and Rahul sitting in the stands was a political game to voo the voters in the State election. Even making Pakistan loose the crucial match could be a political game to divert our attention from the Scams and corruption cases. We the people are not bothered of billions of tax payers money siphoned away. Wish we could be as concerned and involved with our daily issues and fight for our rights, dignity and self respect, the way we were involved for the 9 hours at Wankhede on 2nd April 2011
It was very nice of President Pratibha Patil to go all the way to Bombay to watch the match and also to stay back to felicitate Dhoni and Team India in Bombay itself on Sunday at Raj Bhavan.
That really shows that she cares for the feelings of the Bombayites as much, if not more, than the rest of us Indians.

no dear, i am serious and not joking! it was not close trimming, if u wud have seen his morning shaving! it was all full shave like one do for tirupati(here dhoni did it for tirupati only) or death of parents! here also, if u look closely first picture and second one , u will see the difference!
in evening when i saw him on tv with 5-7 days hair , i was stucked as morning picture was totally shaven! how it has been happened, i was totally astonished!
Last time when India won the World cup our late P M Mrs Indira Gandhi felicitated the winning team. So our P M may also follow suit and should not be behind any body to do so.
I can understand BCCI giving the players cash awards. Even Coporate Houses giving cash awards is OK. But, why should different Sate governments announce cash awards, using tax payers money? Take Delhi government for example. The CM has declared 2 crores for Dhoni and 1 crore each for the three Delhi players. That is a total of Rs.5 crores. The poor in Delhi do not have drinking water and even basic amenities and the tax payers money is given away by the Delhi Government to pamper the over hyped, over rated and over paid cricketers. When Vishy Anand won his first World Championship, he was merely congratulated by the then Sports Minister. When queried by a journalist why no cash awards are given to Vishy Anand, the sports minister informed that Vishy Anand is rich enough and does not need cash awards. Does it mean our cricketers belong to below the poverty line (BPL) families? It is a shame that tax payers money is wasted like this on rich, over-paid, over-hyped and over-rated cricketers for winning a six nation cup!

Congressi Sonia was dancing in the Delhi streets for cheap publicity and to divert attention from the loot she has made.
Indians won cricket world cup. No doubt gr8 event & our politicians have come to take advantage giving all kind of money,land,free rail passes to cricketers. Its good but what about those players who have won championship in other games like chess, billiards,hockey,teniss,badminton & other sports? why no such things given to them? why so much of partiality to sports people? why this double standards? why only cricket? why not others? thats it.
Its time for India to understand we need leader like Dhoni who takes bold decision. Why thease politicians Sonia,Manmohan, Pratibha wasting players time to come into picture. Manmohan sonia rahul go to pakistan, pratibha u warm up your chair..... chalo bhago.
Team North India by Abe Oye (View MyPage) on Apr 04, 2011 10:02 AM | Hide replies
It is a fact that when North Indians started taking interest in cricket, India started winning in cricket. No wonder both the world cups were won by India under the captaincy of Northies like Kapil and Dhoni. Rest of the Indians, lack the naked aggression, and are weak in mind. They don't deserve to lead, and when they lead, defeats embrace us. Case in point, when Sachin was the captain.
