Again brilliance of sachin batting & stupidity of dhobi captaincy was visible in today's match. Dhobi manipulation , selfishness & politics at its best.
India lost the plot when dhobi promoted his batting order & came ahhead of pathan & could manage only 30 runs in 25 balls in power play. He always promotes his batting order when condition is easy & no pressure (india was 240/2) so that he can make few runs with not out inning & maintain his batting average. He knows that pathan is bigger hitter than him but then this dhobi is always selfish.
Also his captaincy skill was purely exposed when he allowed 338 to be chased without applying any pressure. As it was expected before before wcup- only seniors like sachin, sehwag & zaheer are true match winners while dhoni & his rest of chamcha sena are useless. Anyway tantrik vidya of dhoni helped & india could manage atleast tie. What a lucky guy he is?
Sachin brilliance with bat & one excellent over of zaheer again saved match for India.
But we still feel that tantrik vidya & luck of dhobi may win wcup for India & this useless politician dhongi will get all the credit.

Atleast address him properly. He is DHONI and when he plunders runs - DHO DIYA, then you can call him DHOBI.

I think yusuf given up the order where he will get time & settle down & go for big shots like wat he did in SA 5 ODI 70 ball 100 runs. Being a captian & not in-form Dhoni shud give chance to Yusuf up the order. In the last 10 odi Dhoni has hardly hit 2 50's..??!!! Wenever a 3rd wicket falls dhoni will come to control the things. Actually they shud try Yusuf atleast ones up the order.

you are spot on ! he is showing a hint of insecurity as far as his position in his team is concern as you mentioned about his coming ahead of Pathan ! I think I was wrong when I thought he is street smart, he is very ordinary as captain !

1) You r talking creating pressure. perhaps u have not watched the match. After 15 overs england were 107 for 1 with ran rate 7.13 & after 10 overs both spinners were bowling. had dhoni maintained the same strategy india would have lost the match up to 48 overs. at that stages dhoni was bound to spread the field.

totally agree with u..he does tat so oftn wit his bating..yusuf wud hv aded another 30 runs to total..also his tackling his own talnted bowler sreesanth is pathetic..i stil bliev if he is givn propr suport n guidance he can do grt 4 this team..dhoni is too political n equaly cuning to sav himself..wnder how long he rides on luck..evn shcking media n janta hailin praises
My question to Dhoni..why did you open the bowling with Sreesanth against Bangladesh, knowing very well that he is a one change and not an attacking bowler with the new ball..something really amiss..Dhoni seems to play games outside the actual game
sreesanth needs to be given confidence n brought back to attack..come on its evident he is erratic n over aggressive..but he is the only player who can produce unplayable deliveries when chips r down..the dwonfall of england happendd wit bell throwing away wkt..can we expect everytime a batsman does that to giv us chance in a game..we need to create chances..did englnc change andrrsn after poor show..tey keep faith n givs confidence..we just wait to see a poor performance n pounce on a person even if we win game..dhoni also needs to b a better captain..shed his selfish nature..b more attacking un setting field even whn we hav gud total..how long can u run on luck

not to forget the 1999 world cup Zimbabwe vs India..Henry Olonga was the hero at that time
India would have played with 3 seamers.Its important to have a seamers in Power Play..but any way better luck next time.. Doni & men need to pull their socks.
