Of course, Dhoni should be disappointed with the pathetic show of 'his' batsmen in the SA tour...The team does not deserved to be the India team...It is just the team of Srikkanth and Dhoni...I donno how Murali Vijay was picked to open the innings even after a pathetic performance...Similarly, batsmen like him and Rohit Sharma should be out of the team atleast for the sake of cricket lovers...Even after Sharma is not picked in the WC team, Dhoni allowed him to play...Dhoni could have opened the innings with Pathan...I donno y he is not giving chances to Robin Uthappa and Saurabh Tiwary, even after the poor performances of Dinesh Karthik and M Vijay in 2010...I am sure that Vijay will be selected to the team after WC if Srikkanth continues to be the chief selector...

Why not Badrinath,Mukund,Ganapathy,Balaji not selected?Srikkanth is the one and only selector who never favours his region.Take the history and read properly..Badri is very good performer but instead srikkanth selected Rohit for the middle order.Balaji is far superior than Vinay kumar from karnataka.But Vinay got selected.There are lot of examples.If u take the case of Srikkanth's predecessors,things were very bad.Only players from the respective regions of the selectors were selected.Dont bring back the regionalism.Now we are going to face the WC.We are united as a Indian team

Yea, I am also telling that...For WC, we should unite as Indian team...But, pls tell me, did M Vijay deserved a place in the SA ODI team? He has got enough chances, but not able to utilise a single one...Only three batsmen were really failed in SA... They are Dhoni, Rohit Sharma and Muraly Vijay...U should admit that first...
This world cup is crucial for dhoni to show his performance.I agree that he has got tremendous pressure like captaincy,wicket keeping and Batting.But there is no other option than Batting.Becos wicket keeping and captaincy he seems to be ok.But he can improve.His batting is pathetic.He should treat this world cup as last chance and perform.Make decent scores and prove his worth in the team.Otherwise,though I am Dhoni fan,i think team's interest taking into consideration,he should be showed the gate.Alarming bell for Dhoni..
I think if everyone is fit selecting Final Eleven for World Cup first amtch will end up selecting one between Raina and Virat Koholi...I will go for Raina considering Indian conditions he can score runs quickly....
Rest of the Team is
Schewag Sachin Gambhir Yuvraj Raina/Koholi Dhoni Pathan Harbhajan Zaheer Munaf Praveen Kumar/Ashwin(depending on pitch and conditions)
