You have done India good what our selectors could nt do at the end of the last test series!! Drop Dhoni!! May be now they can cross the 400 mark ... As they would have someone with a bit more gut batting @ lower down the order!!
oo much drivel is being written and said about the performance of the Indian team abroad over the past year.
Let us face it, each team is a tiger at home nowadays. Whenever they go abroad they get licked. This applies for Australia and England and South Africa and all the other countries vying with us for the top spot.
If these same English or Aussie teams were to come to India, and play against the same Indian team they have thrashed so convincingly in their own backyard, be assured they will find themselves in the same position we find ourselves.
Winning away from home against other top teams will always be very very difficult. That is why the Aussie teams of 1995-2005 were so good. They could beat all the other teams away from home as well.
If we are to be beaten at home like we are being beaten abroad, then it would be proper to start the post mortems that are going on right now.
People should stop villifying the Sachins and Sehwags and Dravids and Laxmans. They are magnificent players who have done the country proud many times in the past. The odd bad series can not make them bad players. They cannot be called traitors or worse. Such words are apt for those who villify them.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni was the toast of the nation when he led the team to winning the World Cup. We were calling him Superman, Captain Marvel etc. How is it that now, less than twelve months later, he is considered to be a poor captain ?

THAT is the problem. WC matches get over in a day. And this went on for a whopping 2.5 days.

ha ha ha...first you used to say nobody remembers series win...you have to win world cups where all countries participate and the winner there is remembered for years afterwards...now you are trashing us being world champions in two formats where everybody played....:-)
of course such duplicity is entirely expected from you pseudo!:-)
against dhoni is in progress. first sehwag, dravid, sachin, laxman, ganguly hit tons oversees. these players shud hv known that a player named dhoni wl cm in team who is UNABLE to score runs oversees, who hs NO potential of hitting 100 oversees, neither in test nor in odi.
then agarkar n kumble too scored tons oversees n conspired to score centuries even after knowing the fact that dhoni is nt capable of scoring runs.
all these players are against dhoni, they shud nt hv scored tons oversees. bcz of these players dhoni is blamed. poor dhoni lost 7 matches in a row oversees in an year (a new Indian world record). NO ONE SHOULD SCORE 100 OVERSEES IN ORDER TO DEFEND POOR DHONIS PATHETHIC BATTING.
