Yes people like you have no knowledge start writing craps here. he infact went in to the shell that is why got out like he does most of the time. if he kept scoring runs he would have played more longer.
first of all all politicians managing cricket administration shoul be thrown in bay of bengal and reigns should be given to ex players like kapiljee,gavaskar,dada ganguly

CRICKET is such funny game it goes with flow. any test series especially when you are handicap without your full strength team you have to get good start in first test. we had momentums but we did not encash them. in first test 2nd inning we got them back to 250-5 but again Ishant was tired and there was no other bowler to give them trouble. again 2nd test we got them 124-8 but could not bowl them out under 150 because we did not have zaheer who is lethal for tail handers. again in same inning when we were 255-4 i thought we will take around 150-200 runs lead but got out under 300 again so if we had those momentums not slipped from our hands these entire series had different results. not taking chance to Munaf was a biggest mistake since his way of bowling stump to stump with little swing is very dangerous in English conditions he has normal speed of 135-140km which is more then enough.
WELL DESERVED ! RESULT OF IPL AND BCCI PAMPERING GOOD FOR THE GAME I WAS A DIE HARD FAN BUT T20 SPOILT EVERYTHING CRICKET CONTROL NEEDS TO BE CONTROLLED BY THE WEST. HAPPY DAY FOR ME!!!

20-20 is not cricket but a good tamasha of cricket. you can make out knowledge of our spectators when they say watching 20-20 yaar how many players we have but not given chances but same player like raina when given chance can't see the ball in test cricket.

one thing i liked about cricket back then was less ads. the coverage is disgusting for the last few years even on reputed espn-star network.

hey Sudhir, respect any profession... how can you make fun of ticket collecting job?.... Dhoni is a very successful guy & I am sure that he is also proud to do TTR job
Re: not surrendering; dhoni....

It is not cricket for which he is concerned but, the endorsements and the millions that come with that, is worrying. So , he will not surrender!
I think time has come for BCCI to undergo another round of revamp of Indian cricket like what they did in 2000-2001 during GANGULY-WRIGHT regime. Though many may disagree but this is the harsh fact that youngsters like Raina failed miserably in England and veterns showed some promise and 100% commitment. Are we able to spot right talent of bench strength???? The bowling crisis we faced during the tour shows how limited options we have despite having many talented cricketers. I think BCCI-SELECTORS-NCA-COACH-CAPTAIN must work closely and they must not have differences among them so that we can acheive success, I think some ex player like Ganguly or Kumble must be given a role in developing Indian cricket as Ganguly have spotted right talent in team in form of LAXMAN, SEHWAG, YUVRAJ, KAIF, ZAK, Bhajji etc. What do you all say???

yes because of two connection he has been playing in test team. 1st is close chamchagiri with Dhoni and 2nd poorna Praful Patel is NCP leader and he is very close to Sharad Pawar.
Actually the mind was set at the last test in the West Indies. Where India agreed for a tie the entire team mind goes for a negative approach. Very Fault.

I think we miss a mental conditioning coach PADDY who played immense role in shaping up Indian players mindset...
He may be a good captain in one day and T20.But not good in tests.Raina,Laxman,Sachin,Gambhir and sewag lets the team down with our bowlers.Mishra can replace raina in test matches.We need a additional spin bowler with three good fast bowlers.Sachin,Laxman,Dhoni and Raina should be axed from test squad with new players.Don't carry the players based on their old performances.Dravid can lead the Indian test team.Dhoni is not at his wicket keeping.

By the way DHONI acheived more success in test matches rather in ODI and T20 before WINDIES TOUR....

Babran:
Why retain Gambhir, Sehwag, Ishant, RP, Sreesanth, etc. If ONLY Dravid and Mishra should be retained, then we should be sacking 9 players. Recheck your calculations...

you want to remove sachin and laxman. again you want 4-0 in Australia too?. first find out right replacement then talk about removal of sachin. dhoni raina should be out.
Re: Re: Dhoni - not a good captain for test matches
by Rakesh Pradhan on Aug 23, 2011 09:28 AM
If with Sachin 4-0 then why not without him at least you have some execuse to defeat and we can groom a young player. Sachin is selfishly sticking to that place for 22 years.

mr rakesh i can't have argument with you when you hardly have any knowledge about this sports. sorry boss.

first of all get some right knowledge about cricket then write. it is a team game you have to see the reasons behind failure.
Re: Re: Dhoni - not a good captain for test matches
by phaneeswar on Aug 23, 2011 09:26 AM
I truly agree with you, presently there are no such youngsters who can fill into a gr8 shoes like DRAVID, LAXMAN AND SACHIN....I think after OZ tour all trio will retire from all forms of cricket...
Re: Re: Re: Dhoni - not a good captain for test matches
by major on Aug 23, 2011 09:32 AM
i find only 3 players not for replacement of these 3 but can be inculded in team. Rohit Sharma,Pujara,Rahane. these 3 batsman are future of India trust me.Wasim zaffer should be included as Reserve opener he is a class opener technically he and karthik gave solid start in last English tour that is why India won that series when Dravid was captain.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Dhoni - not a good captain for test matches
by phaneeswar on Aug 23, 2011 09:34 AM
I think we must adopt specialisation in respective formats like Pujara being only test specialist...I think we must specialisation policy like what other teams are doing...
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Dhoni - not a good captain for test matches

Problem is that corruption is killing everything in India. when we small people follower cricket can see who is better for which format these ex cricketers like shree kant can't see. he wanted tamil players to be inculded despite Mumbai has won 5 Ranji Trophies in last 7 years that is also without sachin and zaheer not a single batsman or bowler from Mumbai was playing.

Dhoni should stop relying on his good luck and start doing some homework for future tours instead. How long can a man depend on his good luck charm?
