Dear Mr. Dhoni,
You came in at the fall of Yousuf Pathan and the last 7 wickets tumbled in front of your own eyes. Yet you wait for the match to finish to post your thoughts that the Indian batsmen were playing for the crowd and not for their country. What do you think you were doing as a captain?
Maybe, you were experimenting on "different ways of throwing wicket?" or collecting material for a post retirement biography - "My moments of Stupidity".
By the way, this is not the only mistake that was made and I think there is more material for your post retirement work -
Firstly, can you help us understand why one Mr. Ashwin is being maintained as a national secret? He can surely come out and contribute. Your selection of Mr. Patel instead of him is baffling.
Heartiest congratulations on collecting sufficient material on your biography.
Secondly, your decision to send in Yousuf at the fall of the costliest player of the league, was as of if to suggest everyone else to throw a kitchen sink at the bowling attack - which is what the poor guy did. Has a thought of promoting yourself into the order and coming out to bat to control the slog overs ever crossed your mind? Or maybe, you thought it was too small a task for your great stature.

Can you also please explain the bowling changes at the death? Something that I could workout as a decent change would have been to have the last overs done by Yuvraj, Bhajji and Zaheer -

Munaf and Nehra are sloppy with ball, bat and on the field!

Munaf and Nehra should be out. I am still wondering how did they make to the squad. Aren't there better bowlers and fielders than them. They are sloppy both with ball and fielding. They are worse than amateur players!

What Is Dhoni's Role?
by dareal michael on Mar 14, 2011 03:27 AM

Rest of the cup contenders has a Wicket keeping batsman.But for India our keeper fill the place of the 11th batsman. Why cant he be the recognized batsman and play a fifth bowler?
So the Team will have better chance...

Sachin Bashers are his real worshippers

Sachin Bashers are his real worshippers
These guys just sleep-walk through the failure of the other 10 people & focus how inspite of Sachins century India lost.
Thats becoz in their hearts they want Sachin to perform with batting/bowling & fielding and whatever it takes to get them a win.
They look up to noone else but to SACHIN

What they dont realize is that they are hoping for a miracle. And for that miracle, they are turning to Sachin.
Now who do people turn to when in despair, praying for the miracle. Its the Messiah/Avatar/God whatever you call HIM.
So its the Sachin Bashers who are treating Sachin like God.

Sorry to break the NEWS to you guys, a miracle can happen in dying overs, but only on power of 5 to 6 early-on performers.
Take a look at SA scorecard to know what I mean.

So stop praying to Sachin for miracles. He is a great player, but he is HUMAN
