well you got your title all wrong. Dhoni never said that. "Maybe, now he thinks he should have taken the review, but the fact is he didn't, and it's gone now." this is what he said right. it aint the same.

even if Dravid would have scored 100 runs ( a century) loosing the match is very much sure. so it was better dravid left the ground with iout preview
Eventhough Dravid had taken that review it will not stop the inevitable, since no player shown the Positive approach. England won because of their hard work and sheer confidence, they deserve it.
Just like we appreciate players with national honors and awards we have to have a system for systematically assessing and stripping of if necessary some of those honors if the players (if they are still playing) and fall from grace and bring insult to the country due to non performance. And the stripping should be made public as well. That way we can atleast safegaurd the sanctity of those Padmasree, Padma vibhushan and Arjuna Awards. It will also keep the players on toes and if not, quickly and gracefully walk off before a risk of honour stripping hits at them..

Hi LOL, You are over reacted. You should control your emotion. When we can learn to accept defeat gracefully and that to against a better team ? It's a team game. Barring few, everyone under performed even Dravid forget to take review. Dhoni should't be criticised as he scored few runs and could play 3 down. Pray it must not be whitewashed otherwise one dayers will face same fate.

Don't write crap. One series defeat and we are over reacting. These players were honoured for performing consistantly over a period of time and not for a single series. win and loss are part and parcel of a game. What hurt us most was the manner in which we lost. We gave in like cowards. Hope this is passing phase.
