True the interruptions didn't help CSK but let one thing be clear that the way CSK bowls even those three overs wouldn't have changed the result.Dhoni conveniently forgets that the Tuskars won with two overs to spare.In fact CSK are no more favourites and it is most unlikely that they would make it to the Semis.Morkel-Southy combo will ensure a certain early exit of CSK from IPL.Only redeeming features about CSK is their improved fielding and M/Vijay's stunning hits.One wonders what happens to this fellow when he plays 50 overs game ? Possibly he is confused and not clear about his approach in the longer version of the game.
Once IPL 4 is over, Sir Ravindra Jadeja should be considered for Bharath Ratna award. This is a desperate appeal from all his fans including me and who are spread across the globe...

Sachin pays money to media for praises? Good joke of the day.... Keep it up Mr. Vaidya.. I guess he is also offering money since last 20 years to bowlers to bowl easy deliveries right mr. vaidya?
People....what to say about doni...he played 13 balls and 11 balls were dot balls in final overs...and that too deleiveries from his close friend RP Singh... Doni's plan ....1.come up the order and waste balls as much as possible and keep strike away from other batsman and hit a 4 or 6 in last ball to get to deceive the crowd...2.Bring morkal in first 3 overs and give practice to opponenents to hit 4 s and 6 's...3.whenever opposition is struggling to score...help them by bringing in bowlers who are already struggling... Good ploy for doni for the money he might have taken from other team owners for losing matches....

Can anybody compare Dhoni with Saurav Ganguly? In my opinion, ganguly is still a better captain than Dhoni...Dhoni is making silly childish comments after every defeats...But, Ganguly is accepting the truth and he himself accept the reason for defeats...Dhoni is simply reaping the efforts of his previous captains efforts like Ricky Ponting...Ganguly was appointed as the captain of a depleted team which was affected by match fixing and all...He motivated the team and filled the team with youth blood. But, Dhoni didnt have to do anything...

i mean if ganguly encouraged some players dhoni has also done the same. it is only because of his new generation players that we are winning more often than in the past. under dhoni we are winning more than we did under ganguly. it is under dhoni that we have done wonders in all formats of cricket and been no. 1 in all formats at some point of time. in test we are no. 1 for so long and we have played against everybody, aus, SA, SL, England so no one can say we have not played the stronger sides. we have played all strong teams and we are yet to lose a test series under dhoni. not only we win more under dhoni but we also lose less under him. we have so far lost only 2 tests while winning so many tests. even though he loses more tosses than he wins he does not give up and still wins matches. he has lost something like 16-17 tosses in his 24 odd test match captaincy career and still won most of them. he encourages all players senior and junior and gets the best out of them all. he leads from the front and his contribution as a batsman is awesome even in indian wins and when he is captain. in tests he averages around 47 runs per innings as a batsman and as a captain he contributes around 58 runs in tests won by india. as a batsman and captain he averages almost around 80 runs in odis when india wins and that also with a strike rate of around 96 runs. only blind people and people who dont understand cricket will criticise dhoni and say that he does not deserve a place on merit.

I am not here for using abusive language and all like u...I am not interested to blame u personally... But pls tell me who is the better captain - Steve Waugh or Ricky Ponting??? Waugh build a strong team and Ponting had the advantage of that team... I can not admit Dhoni as a test batsman. What he has done in test cricket as a batsman? Any Significant innings?
Re: Re: Re: Dhoni Vs Ganguly...
by mukund vaidya on Apr 19, 2011 03:45 PM
raj india, i am also not here for abuse. i NEVER START any abuse. but if others will abuse me i will abuse back.
if you cannot admit dhoni as a test batsman there is nothing i can do. if you cannot read his stats as a batsman and as a captain there is nothing i can do. if your eyes and brain are incapable of grasping dhoni's greatness and his batting and wicket keeping and captaincy skills there is nothing that i (or anyone else for that matter) can do.
like i told you he averages nearly 80 runs with a strike rate of around 96 runs in odis in all the odis won by india that he played. in odi he is india's best batsman till date. he is better than sachin in odi and that can easily be proved by figures. sachin required 169 innings to complete 6000 odi runs, dhoni required 166 innings to complete HIS 6000 odi runs. as simple as that. even the question of remaining not out does not arise. if somebody scores more than someone else and in less innings than the other i dont think any other explanation is required. but also remember that dhoni did that inspite of batting 132 times at no 5, 6 7 or 8. while sachin in his ENTIRE career batted only 41 times on no. 5 or below that. STILL he needed MORE innings than dhoni to complete the milestone.

dhoni as batsman in tests too has done well. in winnings causes he averages 47 runs per innings overall, and when he is captain his average is 58 runs per innings in tests won by india. against ponting's australian side he was MOM in one test with his scores of 92 and 68 not out. as a captain of indian test team his batting performance is 24 tests 34 innings 4 times not out, 1503 runs with a 50 plus average 3 100s and 11 50s. tell me looking from which angle do you think these are bad figures for ANY batsman?

Sachin hailed Dhoni...Is that means Dhoni is a better captain??? ha ha ha...Last day Mohd. Azharuddin, who is also among India's better captains, said Ganguly is a better captain than Dhoni...U know one thing...Still the main players in the team are groomed by Ganguly only...I am not under estimating Dhoni...Players like Sehwag, Gambhir, Zaheer, Yuvraj, Bhajji, Kaif etc are well shaped by Ganguly only...Is there anybody in the current team who is well supported by Dhoni? Dhoni is blaming players in the media...But, look at Ganguly, in 2001, selectors didnt include Bhajji in the team against australia...But, Ganguly insisted to take Bhaji in the team and he took 28-29 wickets in the series including a hattrick...

even ganguly has admitted that dhoni is the best captain, imrankhan also praised him. moreover we have seen time and again, why do u want to market someone who has been kicked out of KKR
Re: Re: Re: Dhoni Vs Ganguly...
by mukund vaidya on Apr 19, 2011 01:15 PM
same way dhoni also takes bhajji even though there are idiots who say drop bhajji and bhajji responsible in a major way that india is no. 1. there are people who say dhoni takes bhajji, yuvraj etc. because they are his northy friends. still dhoni knows how good they are and ignores such criticism. gambhir is in the odi team now only because ganguly retired. gambhir has said that he seriously thought about quitting because he could not find entry because sachin sehwag and ganguly occupied top 3 slots. only after ganguly retirement could gambhir cement a place in team. same case is now happening with kohli. because sachin not retiring there is problem about his place. as long as sachin in team sachin, sehwag, gambhir ocuupy slots 1 2 and 3. there is a imbalance in batting positions. kohli cannot get his best no. 3 place and gambhir his best no. 1/2 place till sachin in the team. if yuvraj encouraged some players dhoni has done the same. it is because of him that players, like ishant, mishra, ozha, raina, kohli, praveen kumar etc. have made a name for themselves and are in the indian team. even the players you say are from ganguly era it is dhoni himself who is backing and encouraging them all. yuvraj if you look at his stats has performed better under dhoni than under ganguly. under dhoni it is that he has developed into a all rounder. how much did ganguly use yuvi as a bowler? how many wickets did yuvi take under ganguly and how many under dhoni? please check up.
IPL is just a game like English Country Cricket. Let any team win. Why we should fight for it. If India as a team loses we can ask questions. IPL is just a league game.
