Astrology is bullshit. Remember a dialogue from Mahabharat : "If god wanted us to know the future, he would have given us that power too, like he gave us eyes, nose etc.".
The best team for the game against Australia is 1. Gambhir. (If Sewhag is injured) 2. Tendulkar. 3. Virat Kolhi. 4. Raina. 5. Yuvraj Singh. 6. Yusuf Pathan. 7. Dhoni. 8. Ashwin. 9. Zaheer. 10. Harbhajhan. 11. Sreesanth. 1.If the Indian openers avoid attacking shots & not loose a wicket in the first 10-12 overs particularly against Umar Gul, we can beat this Pakistan team relatively easy than against the Australians. 2. Taking singles is the middle overs is the key to success which Virat Kolhi & Raina are best at. 3. Yusuf Pathan should be sent when spinners operate because he can handle them easily & not in the power plays when Umar Gul is operating. 4. Munaf patel should in now way be selected because he does not know to Bat, Field or Bowl. In comparison, Sreesanth is a better fielder than Munaf, can score at least 2 runs/hang around & is a much more aggressive/strike bowler than Munaf/Nehra. 5. Also, Ashwin who is a better batsman than Harbhajhan Singh & Zaheer should be sent after Dhoni. 6. Power plays should be when players like Yuvraj & Kolhi are batting who will not throw their wicket easily.
1.munaf is poor 2.bhajji not in form and has worst record against pakistan 3.viru unfit and totally out of form 4.yuvi has very poor record in mohali his home ground. 5. dhoni hopelessly out of form.

1.I think Dhoni will bring in Shreesanth in place of Munaf
2.Harbhajan has picked up only 6 wickets in this world cup but his economy rate is 4.4 which plays is very important as well.
3.Sehwag and Sachin naturally plays well against Pakistan under any condition
4.Records are made for breaking,so expect Yuvi to fire at home ground this time.
6.Yes,Dhoni needs to contribute with the bat and his batting record against Pakistan is very good and he shined in India's tour of Pakistan,hope him to repeat the same...

Dhoni's ego is being shattered due to his poor form, the useless form of his associates in Chawla, Nehra, Munaf. 1. He was forced to include Ashwin, Raina in the team because of which we are in the Semis. 2. He will be forced to include Sreesanth because Nehra & Munaf are useless to even the canada team.
But, Dhoni's supporters do not post crap like telling that Dhoni was keeping this as surprise element for the knock out stages. Dhoni & his fans already look very pathetic with cunning politics...
as we saw indian player,s given their complete pormarmance but dont forgate our next match with PAK and they are our native compitator in every fild . we hope WC winning record against PAK will continue.

1)Leadership :He rotated the bowlers and used his limited bowling resources cleverly to restrict the Australian total to 260..or else they would have raced away to 300 plus.
2)Team man :He gives respect to senior players like Sachin,Sehwag and Zaheer so they also perform happly under him.
3)Nurturing:He provided the much needed moral support to Yuvraj in 2010 when he was going thru a lean patch and now Yuvraj turned out to be the most valuable player for the team.
4)Discipline:He dropped Raina in league match for missing the team bus to airport enroute to Dhaka and dropped Shreesanth for irritating his team mates with his antics in practice sessions.So,he inculcated team discipline and professionalism
5)Patience:Patience is the key to success and quality of good leaders.Dhoni is a cool customer in tight situations which gives confidence to other team mates...
Re: Re: Re: Dhoni performance

6)Resource management: As a team mate in CSK,Dhoni is fully aware of Ashwin's capabilities.He did not want to over use Ashwin in the league stage and kept him as a secret weapon for more crucial games.That's why he immidiately let him open the bowling in the last two matches..
He wanted to test Chawla well in the league stage,if he performed better than Harbhajan,may be Dhoni would have gone with Chawla and Ashwin to have a variety of leg and off spin combination...

Great Om, You people have started taking Mangement Lessons. After biting the dust, this is the only face saving formula. Keeping Ashwin/Raina for the knock out stages... Haaa haaaa haaaaaa........

Haha,its real fun,infact there are so much negative criticism about each and every player,I get some fun in posting positive notes..
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Dhoni performance
by Srinivasan Renganathan on Mar 25, 2011 10:32 AM
Om, You are correct. Dhoni like lalloo Prasad yadhav is good at taking Management lessons. With the highest political clout Lalloo took Management classes at IIM. Great Joke. With your support, Dhon can take Management classes at harward, Cambridge etc.... Keep it up... Great going.....

No we can't drop kohli as he is consistent with his bat & we don't need player who can perform just like leap year come.

If you put AmirKhan,NanaPatekar,AnupamKher,IrfanKhan,OmPuri,etc all into one movie and give Lalu Yadav to direct that movie,will it be a hit picture? No,you also need a good director like PrakashJha..
So,that is the relevance of good captaincy.Whether Sachin,Sourav,Dravid or Dhoni,every one's batting form took a beating once they were made captain,it is very crucial to take right decision at write time to win a game,and Dhoni is intelligent and cool at that..
You are suggesting to drop RameshSippy from Sholay !!
