Re: Dhoni's ban, a blessing

That's what my question too is... Why Sehwag? A player who does well himself only will command respect from the team. I doubt if Sehwag did anything noteworthy thus far.... Give Zaheer a chance.
I'd say, blessing in disguise for both Dhoni and the team. But, why Sehwag? A player who does well himself only will command respect from the team. I doubt if Sehwag did anything noteworthy thus far.... Give Zaheer a chance.
on next subsequent match. but if Dhoni is not playing that means he himself has decided top opt out, as he knows his true value (not even fit to carry drinks in test cricket)
The Pitches in Bangladesh have suddenly turned green. It didnt suit our batsmen who were taken by suprise by the bounce their bowlers generated.Our bowlers did the job in getting them out once but batsmen failed miserably.Hope we do well against Ireland in the next series.
It is a blessing in disguise that Dhoni is banned for one test.It is time he gives up captaincy in test for ever as the recent series have shown how bankrupt he is in tests He looked really out of sorts in batting and handling the team.
A Non-Performing Batsman & Non-Athletic Keeper & Mindless Captain Needs to be shown the way out of Test Cricket. I hope he retires from Test Cricket now, after-all he is the most overworked player by his own words.

His team went in as World No.1 Team to England. He got chances in England, but he failed; citing reasons like lack of practice match, less gap in no. of days between each test, lack of key players, injury to many players, lack of fast bowlers who could cross 140km/hr mark, lack of fast bowlers who could swing the ball, lack of experienced batsmen & the most important 'lack of adaptability to the conditions over there'. Similarly, against Australia, he went with the best possible team, touted by many as 'THE TEAM THAT CAN REWRITE HISTORY BOOKS & WIN A SERIES IN AUSTRALIA', but still he failed; all the key players were present, he had bowlers who bowled over 140km/hr, he had bowlers who could swing the ball both ways, he got enough practice matches, he got enough gap between test matches(around a week between each test), nobody got injured over here, in fact he had all the reasons or excuses for failure in England rectified, still he FAILED. In both the places he could not succeed as batsman, wicket-keeper or captain. He himself has expressed that he does not enjoy the game. He is thinking of taking the best way out of Test cricket by announcing his retirement, most probably from test cricket, for lack of his performance. And just as you mentioned he has got 7 chances overseas till now, he got over two months for doing that & he has failed to do it. What more reason do you need to make him eligible to be dropped from the Test team?
A blessing in disguise....... Thank heavens he wont play at Adelaide..... hope he doesn't lead India in tests forever....such a defensive captain ever seen
