Dhoni is a very much an un-indian leader.. He is selfless, cool , calm.. delivers under pressure.. never loses control of himself... takes praise, criticisms, sucess ,failure everything in his stride.. still we fault him..he promoted himself and has delivered a matchwinning/svaing performance.. and he still people hate him.... Salute dhoni!!!... look at the way he calmly walled back to pavilion at 99.. he wudve been the same if it had been a 100... a certain tendulkar wudve cried if he was run out at 99,even if india had won

Hahahahaha. good joke. He was so selfish to get a century that he has put the team's chances of taking a lead in danger.

What is the point of delivering now when we have already lost the series. he was just trying to save his a## which was in line to get fired.

what ever you have written is rubbish & it clearly shows you have not followed cricket closely. It is because he knows that he will not find a place in team if he fails in this test. Our system is a foolish one who treat a one in 10 tests & hail this for another 20 tests.

Crackpot Ramesh Bharat, where was your "very much un-Indian leader" when we were whitewashed, or when we lost 2 consecutive tests vs Eng, or UNTIL the issue of his captaincy came?

i am not understand why all people blame Dhoni. can any one indicate capable guy for captaining this indian team now. no body here.gambir is selfish,shewag is waste then who else u people wnat.also can any one tell now who is the best indian wicket kepper available now?
one more thing indian test team is going in transition period,no body wnat to talk about that,we lost dravid lakshman and tendulkar,ok if any other world team loses means they will tell we are going through transistion,now australia is teling same thing when ever they lost.
dont blame good captain .

@ Shiva Kumar How do you know that there is nobody capable, when you have not tried anybody ??? It is like saying that "Indian Cricket will die after Gavaskar and kapil Dev retire". Wake up buddy.

you are correct ramesh bharat...but there are very few people like u and me who can understand that....it seems majority of people here are justfoolswhotakeouttheirfrustrationsondhoni
C'mon guys we should give it to them when its due...they have played and carved togather a great Innings ..atleast now we are sure of not staring into another defeat...We should also appreciate this guy's sense of responsibility ....i think this inning will save his place and captaincy both .i am not seein' any other player capable enough to take responsibility of leading Team....so no point criticising him...

How do you know that nobody is capable ? Have you seen anybody tried out that you are so sure ?
Re: Re: Dhoni --- Kohli
by Sunil Vaidya on Dec 16, 2012 06:29 AM
any name that you will suggest has himself failed horribly in the last 2 years both away and at home and if dhoni does not deserve to be in the team either as a captain or player then by the same token others also dont deserve to be in the team or as a captain...and if they are not failures then of course you are suggesting some new player who has not played any tests yet...
Re: Dhoni --- Kohli
by sivanandam lakshmanan on Dec 15, 2012 08:25 PM
Gambhir is there to lead. If not anybody can lead better than Dhoni. Like BCCI i think you don't want to take risk. We Indians has the slavery mentality, cult cultures,& well frogs. Before Dhoni somebody is there & somebody wiil be there after Dhoni. i hope you will ask Dhoni to continue up to 60 years.
Re: Re: Dhoni --- Kohli
by Sunil Vaidya on Dec 16, 2012 06:26 AM
more likely gambhir will leave the test after 3 days to attend his ailing wife who has got flu and the vice captain sehwag or kohli will have to carry on with 10 players in the team

let us see what happens...the last captain to lose home test series against england was gavaskar...
Re: Re: Re: Re: Dhoni's fall is faster than his climb
by Deshbhakth Hindu on Dec 15, 2012 08:55 PM
It was you who initiated the name of gavaskar in the discussion.
Even though Sehwag & Sachin are playing for namesake only with negligible contribution... the work done by Dhoni & Kohli is good! Captain Dhoni is not getting support of good play from its team mates. As a Captain, Dhoni is one of the best.

I disagree. Dhoni is pure lucky. And today also he was just trying to save his place in the team.

How many Tendulkar has played in his 23 year old 200 test career?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Compared to Sehwag & Sachin, Dhoni & Kohl
by Yaako Tika Novva on Dec 15, 2012 08:18 PM
So if Tendulkar has not played, it means Dhoni has played?
Re: Re: Compared to Sehwag & Sachin, Dhoni & Kohli deserv
by sivanandam lakshmanan on Dec 15, 2012 08:28 PM
100 % correct. Actually he wants to high light his knock by putting pressure on the Tail end by ran out himself needlessly as usual. It is his practice to run out his partner or ran himself out whenever the team is under pressure & thus enact a drama that he is selfless.

Apart from Ganguly ,Dhoni is truely the Man Manager and worth of being in the team...how come we forget that who so ever was the captain... tried to include players of his liking without any performance ( Sir Aggy (Agarkar))

Ganguly was the real architect of the present team. Dhoni just got a good team on a platter.

yusuf has not played any tests and others have performances to back them when they got test break...
Dhoni and Kohli played good innings and did their bit. The way Dhoni promoted himself and performed is admirable. Good work guys and continue doing it.
Re: Amazing Indians
by sivanandam lakshmanan on Dec 15, 2012 08:33 PM
Do you don't know Cricket?If Dhoni has really promoted himself means he should have batted at No 3. It is his practice to bat at one down if the team is in winning position & there is big score & pitch is with plenty of runs. If not he will at no 6/7 just before bowlers.
"The best preparation for TOMORROW is to do TODAY's work well" - We motivate the management students thus quoting.
India today did quite reasonably well except for the sudden slide towards the end which could have been avoided.
It is important that the whole team should make it a point to mark this day on a white stone by posting a decent lead TOMORROW ( and bowlers need to put England under pressure by taking quick wickets)to pat ourselves back once again in preparation for the LAST DAY's fortune.
If done, India would certainly have redeemed some of the lost prestige.
Will they do it is the TRILLION dollar question now ?
The curator should be blamed for preparing such an unsportive pitch.It is difficult to score runs same time difficult to get wickets because ball doesn't carry much.Wickets other than bowled or stumped were because of brilliant fielding efforts only.Getting catchouts are difficult if batsman is not playing aerial shots.I wonder if natural stroke players like peterson Kohli and Dhoni had to bat in snail's pace what would have been the case of an original snail(in cricket terms) like Chris Tavare if he batted here.
"With two days left in the game, India will seek to take a decent first innings lead and put pressure on England " still Trailing by 30 runs no batsman on field , how can you take a decent lead ? It is difficult to even reach their score.

It is only that the tailenders can bat better than the top order. Hence, such sentences used.
