is dhoni good enough for tests?
by Sunil Vaidya on Dec 12, 2012 05:56 PM

in last 2 years 2011 and 2012 dhoni has played 19 tests 33 innings 4 not out 859 runs 29.62 average 144 highest 100s-1 50s-7 batting position 7

in last 2 years 2011 and 2012 gambhir has played 16 tests 29 innings 0 not out 907 runs 31.27 average 93 highest 100s-0 50s-7 batting position opener

in last 2 years 2011 and 2012 sehwag has played 15 tests 28 innings 0 not out 889 runs 31.75 average 117 highest 100s-1 50s-5 batting position opener

in last 2 years 2011 and 2012 kohli has played 13 tests 24 innings 2 not out 788 runs 35.81 average 116 highest 100s-2 50s-5


tell me what is the difference between sehwag gambhir kohli and dhoni that mohinder is making such a big noise about?

the stats above clearly expose mohinder. he wants like any regional selector to have players from his region in the team and in important positions. he wants players like sehwag, gambhir, kohli and mishra in the team and as captains or vice captains if he can manage that.
according to him dhoni has no technique etc. to play in test cricket...mohinder if that is so then how do you explain that he has matched your favourite quality test players like sehwag gambhir kohli in stats...that too coming so low down the order...
mohinder you say dhoni is protected by higher ups...so you want to protect your favorites sehwag, gambhir and kohli? If dhoni is not qualified/equipped to play tests even as a player if one goes by the figures of last 2 years then are the players that you are backing qualified?

Dear Sir Sachin, you are the TIGER AND LION of Mother India and We the people are with you since you are the KING OF our hearts, I am pretty sure you will come back roaring in the next test and silence these critics.

I hope you hit 500 not out and break Lara's record in Vidharbha test, knowing you , I am pretty sure you can do it. WE NEED YOU IN INDIAN TEAM FOR FEW MORE YEARS...PLEASE DO NOT LISTEN to people who are against you

KING SACHIN...AFTER SHIVAJI MAHARAJ AND RAJA AKBAR...you are the GREATEST KING OF CRICKET WORLD

IN THE PAST legends from Mumbai Like Sir Wasim Jaffer, THE FIREBRAND DANGER FAST BOWLER AJIT AGARKAR . PRAVIN AMRE, Sir Kabmli, Sir Gavaskar, Shastri and SALIL Ankola have shined
for India...I am pretty sure that the next SON OF Mother India and the next Tiger will be Sir Rohit Sharma and Umesh yadav - The 2 young cubs of the LION SACHIN.....HAIL INDIA...JAI HO

The new players are unlikely to be of any use
by Prasad on Dec 11, 2012 10:29 PM  | Hide replies

Though a thorough reshuffle was called for, one fails to understand the logic of calling in Piyush Chawla. He does not deserve a chance in the side. Amit Mishra would have been a better choice.

as usual
by Suhas Dwarakanath on Dec 11, 2012 09:53 PM

India will win and a billion id10ts will cheer like there is no tomorrow. All forgotten (again, as usual). Why do we Indians keep pitching for the same people (politicians, cricketers, authors, etc) all the time? I wonder why we fear change so much...

not a dhoni fan
by Arnab Banerjee on Dec 11, 2012 09:36 PM  | Hide replies

but need to admit that everyone is being too hard on him. we earlier had ganguly who was a complete failure with the bat for 2 yrs but was lucky enough to have batsmen like tendulkar, dravid and laxman in their prime, who covered up his failures. It finally took someone as conscienteous like chappel to kick out the laibility. Dhoni hasnt been this bad but unfortunately doesnt have as many good batsmen performing consistently as ganguly did. And finally, dhoni is definitely not a selfish player the way ganguly was (look at the number of times ganguly slowed down while nearing a personal milestone).

dhoni is more selfish & biased than ganguli.
Both captaincy was function of good form of sachin, dravid, laxman,sehwag, kumble & zaheer.
But atleast ganguly was far better batsman than dhoni.
Gangu has overseas century which dhoni can't do even after playing 30 yrs of cricket

Pitch doesn't matter
by Vish on Dec 11, 2012 08:07 PM

Pitch doesn't matter. Make any kind of pitch. Team BCCI will be defeated because they can't bat, bowl, field.
