Sachin says Dhoni best captain he's played under

Re: Kapil Paa ji scored 175 singlehandedly by Senthil on Apr 04, 2011 07:29 PM Fair Points, But no Point in Arguing who is Great at present, we can debate later on. 1983 Win is Bigger than this, I would agree on that, we have over come 2 time and Defending Champion team that had the same players in the previous 2 versions also unlike the present Aussies had only 4 from the 2007 Winning team    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Kapil Paa ji scored 175 singlehandedly by vijay on Apr 04, 2011 07:33 PM no senthil , 2011 win is greater than 1983 win just because of expectations , pressure and home , whilst in 83 none expected us to win , so less pressure than.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Kapil Paa ji scored 175 singlehandedly by Senthil on Apr 04, 2011 07:36 PM 1983, we are not even Dark horse, Becoz of 1983 win Only we are still playing Cricket, else we wouldn't given any Value to this Sport. Pressure, Yes, Emotional Fools country like us Pressure is a Big word, but every time every one has it. Home Conditions is Favour not a Pressure.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Kapil Paa ji scored 175 singlehandedly by cooldande on Apr 06, 2011 10:45 AM But 1983 WC was just a fluke and WI showed the true colours after that series.. But it was the thing which induced crickt as a sport in India!! And, if u dont think playing in home is a pressure, then what is??    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Kapil Paa ji scored 175 singlehandedly by French Cuisine on Apr 04, 2011 08:50 PM I feel people are overemotional. It is just a matter of a win or loss - and a loss in this game would mean Dhoni is a bad captain. So we can judge only over a period of time. Dhoni's captaincy has the great strength of absorbing pressure. Dhoni is so calm in pressure situations - this is remarkable. I think all this talk about him the greatest captain ever is mostly due to the occasion. Some of his decisions can be criticized, but in the present context he is the best person for captaincy. I just wish he is more consistent with his own batting and demands improvements in the bowling departments as he has done regarding fielding.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Kapil Paa ji scored 175 singlehandedly by Varun on Apr 06, 2011 10:51 AM Absolutely agree. Captaincy is associated with winning in India. It actually is not. Winning is a result when you have the right talent. That does not mean captain of a losing team is a bad captain.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Malinga by Sanjay on Apr 04, 2011 07:07 PM could it be that he has a physical disability that forces him to do this? It did cross my mind... certainly doesn't look like a 'natural' movement...    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Re: Malinga by French Cuisine on Apr 04, 2011 08:44 PM Shaun Tait is a similar story. I would rather have Malinga than Tait. Malinga does not bowl many wides and no balls , his bowling is controlled and has some variations. Tait is terrible - I think it is good news for Ozs that he is out of serious cricket now.    Forward   |   Report abuse
