Like how u login with the fakeid "againstpseudoes"??? Good that Shikari Shambu exposedyou :) Great thinking from a person who cannot seehisownd1ck due to histummysize, and I am referring tou Mr. Vellupillai Prabhakaran :)
duncan fletcher is an englishman, eric simons is a south african. there is clearly a presence of divergent ideas into the coaching staffs. now that simons is gone, being replaced by an aussie, duncan should also be shown the door and replaced by darren lehmann, the most successful coach in sheffield shield. the coaching staffs also should be from the same nation, as it will bring about excellent coordination..
It is undeniable that he has some extraordinary qualities. His quality to keep cool in pressure cooker scenarious is unmatched. The world cup final is a classic example. In ordinary circumstances our best batsman Sachin can single-handedly chase that total down. Added to that we had Viru who can be dangerous. The other batsmen like Gauti, Kohli and Yuvi are all technically more accomplished than Dhoni. But nobody had the nerves to chase that huge total down , added to that Dhoni was hopelessly out of form. It was simply Dhoni's mental strength that did it. Sachin specially should be ashamed of himself that he always let us down in these situations - never stand up to the final pressure-cooker situatins. I will always be grateful to Dhoni to have played that situation.
Having said all that Dhoni has immersed himself in the money-making business. I cannot imagine the corporate takeover of cricket any larger than what Dhoni does for ad campaigns (potato chips, SportshoesUndiesBananasCocaCola etc ). Added to that he is totally unqualified for test captaincy. I cannot imagine any larger under-achievement for Indian cricketers who have to lose match after match abroad.

Agree with most of what you said. I would like to add that Sachin is the greatest batsman India has produced. I also agree that he succumbs to pressure some times (not all). Dhoni is probably one of the few batsmen that can handle pressure well and is a good batsman. Sehwag has his own style of batting and so does Gambhir. This is a team game. Without mixing the two, the team captain, selectors should best utilize their capabilities in the right way to be able to win the game. Forgetting about the past records, every game you need to strategize how to win. Cricket is purely team game. It is truly shameful that India is not able to win a single test outside India.

Were those not match winning performances under pressure. Ask any Indian or any Pakistani the india versus pakistan match that too in the world cup is the most pressure cooker match one can ever play. When sachin had performed well almost in all those matches how can he be discounted that he cannot play well in pressure situations.

As everybody has rights to express their opinion, i am too expressing mine. No doubt, Dhoni has it in him, to play well under pressure. World cup final is a one off match and that day belonged to dhoni but one should not forget gambhir's performance who took the team to almost safety before getting out on that world cup night. But nobody talks about gambhir's knock because dhoni is a bigger charisma. This charisma would not only get you name but also added pressure. This is what sachin has been facing throughout his career. Forget about today's out of form sachin who definetely has been playing his final leg of his career. But even when his prime days say until the world cup whenever he plays a match the expectation he carries along with him is unimaginable. Anybody who honestly speaks from their heart would tell that before the wc final match they would not have expected dhoni to win the match which is very less pressure to start with. In contrary with all the hype of that 100th 100 in the world cup final before his home ground the pressure was huge and obviously that pressure would have brought him to the downfall. In fact he started very well in that match. Well, the question is had sachin ever played well under pressure? Why not, what about the match against pakistan in the 2003 world cup. Was that not a match winning knock under pressure. Added to that he got three mom awards against pakistan in the world cups alone apart from two other average performances. Were those
