don't know what was the think tank and captain doing while team selection for africa one dayers. the false team selection is to blame for the series loss. Yusuf Pathan was not included in the playing 11 fir the first 2 one day games. He scored 160 odd runs in the next three games, won one of them for us and nearly pulled an impossible win in the last match. don't forget, before this series his last appearance was also a match winning 123 not out against kiwis. also the inclusion of piyush chawla in the last match in place of Ashish Nehra is a questionable decision, agreed dhoni wanted to give match practice to him before world cup but not when India was on a verge to create history by winning an odi series in Africa. Tactical decisions may hurt us a big in the world cup.

now india have chance to forget the wrong things . no wdhoni should concertae towards world and not any thing . dhoni should join on 2 feb 2011 and make the plain for winning of world cup . that plans should not tell about. even that palin should not discuss media . so that nobody can get at level india will the matches
Indian Team's strength is batting not bowling. If Dhoni had elected to bat first, the match wouold have been ours. A bad decision. Dhoni has not scored many runs also. Is it not time that Dhoni offers to resign as CAPTAIN? Gautam Gambir, Viru Sehwag and Sachin Tandulkar are available to be captain and take better decisions and make better field placements. What do the readers say? Let us see the opinions!

Sachin has been tried, did not work out. Sehwag lacks calm and composure. Gambhir is risky at this stage. While it is true that dhoni has batted dismally in SA, he is the greatest captain India ever had. He has propelled us to number one status in all forms or cricket. We should some patience and gratitude to MS Dhoni.

From his performances it seems that he is more a lucky captain than anything else. This is not the performance of a captain.
Dhoni inspite of winning Toss elected to field first, which cost ODI series lost. All knew recently, SA are chuckers while chasing in this series/important matches, Dhoni would have taken batting first. Even D/L method put up into high target. All bullish mistakes he made it means his luck is getting declining which may even cost us much expected WC this time!!!!

MS has a website - MS Dhoni's Journey on and off the field - can google it. It has several interesting things about the man, among which is that he is the richest cricketer in the world even richer than SRT.

Dhoni should offer to resign as Captain and we should have a new captain for WORLD CUP

Captain should be Gambhir or Sehwag. Otherwise (with Dhoni) we will not win the world cup.
If it was sachin in place of pathan, and scored 100 in 65 balls and end up with losing side, people wil bark -sachin cannt finish matches, he is not match winner. why now people not barking Pathan is not a match winner ???

Good to see someone giving Uthappa a chance. He has done reasonably well in Ranji trophy and IPL. Sadly his performance has been overlooked favouring Vijay

Arun Prabhu, After bad decision to bowl first after winning the toss in 5th ODI, Dhoni has resigned as captain. He is not scoring runs also, now a days. So, Parthiv has taken over as WK Batsman
