But never won World cup, never took India to no.1 and add to that Dhoni won T20. So far Dhoni is the only captain who had his hand in all the three events successfully

i think being humiliated is far worse than not winning a world cup in a competitive way

dada took the fight to the brits and won at Lords that in my view was far more precious and credible than winning a fixed WC on slow pitches in home conditions

on the contrary being no. 1 in all formats is worth everything ...even though you lose sometimes in between...

so for you being nowhere near the top is good...and being at the top of the world is useless!! WOW!!

so thats such a big achievement that not winning anything of note is acceptable!! getting into many finals in odis and winning only once or twice is greater than winning wcs in all formats and being no. 1 in the test format...wow...

You are after only winning. you dont know what is the beauty of sport - is not the winning but the competitive fighting.

All the wins Dhoni had were on conducive conditions(why even now he is shamelessly demanding rank turners)....Is't that shameless?

Dada was never say die - he backed his team of young guns to fire and made them super stars?

Is that not real growth of cricket rather than a dull scripted world up win and a few unconvincing wins on sub continent pitches?

what is shameless if dhoni is demanding turners? on one hand you say dhoni's wins were on conducive conditions...and now that he is asking that conditions not be conducive to only india but offer equal chances to both teams you still criticise him? strange....


dont you see any contradiction in your post? on hand according to you dhoni's wins were on conducive conditions...and when dhoni asks for rank turners you still criticise him and say that there should not be sporting pitches but conducive conditions? just think man...

Rediff please get your facts right. India did not loose the test series in South Africa in 2011. They drew it. First test India lost, Second India won and third was a draw.
