Gambhir played pathetically in last 2 test series and he says that he is ready for test captaincy. This is basd on his scrap tamassha IPL victory. Test is not like eating samosa, itis a tough job which neither Gambhir nor foolish Sehwag is good enough for. They delibrately under performed in test mtches in Australia and conspired against Dhoni to stake their claim . Both these are responsible for the slide that Indian test team is facing.

Talking about delibrately, how about delibrately bringing jadeja back? How about keeping ashwin with him? How about stopping sachin from getting to 200. How about saying "rotation policy in the team" and "slow fielders in the media"? Apadiya nadipaan dhoni.

Best in playing lots of dots, then making it 25 required of the last over, then 6 from the last ball. Then will hit and become a hero. Yes you are right. He is still the best. Give him oscars.

If he can do so, then you should agree that he has the all control of the game in his hand.

You have your opinion - Dhoni is not even good enough to play test cricket .At best in India one day and 20-20 he is ok.

Sure, this is your opinion. I am sure you can't tell even one Indian wicket keeper batsman name who batted well then Dhoni.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: gambhir as test captain
by Arijit Guha on Jun 02, 2012 04:49 PM
You are right, but he is no match a wicket-keeper, compared to faroukh engineer, or Kirmani and even Kiran More was better keeper. In tests, keeping skills is more important than the batting skills for a wicket keeper.

Go take a walk. Dhoni is the most luckiest (Probably most assisted) captain not only in India but for the entire cricketing world. do not ever think, least to say, that he is the .....
he is useless completely ..as a batsman and also a keeper ...his captaincy was ob=verhyped...india won because its team was good...because a lot of indian cricketers like gambhir, sehwag, raina, yuvraj, zaheer khan, yusuf pathan, dravid etc. played briliantly in patches...dhoni has no personal contribution to show....he has done absolutely nothing except freeriding and take away other's credit...INDIAN TEAM WOULD HAVE DONE EVEN BETTER IF DHONI WAS NOT THERE (because with dhoni its always a 10 member team)

Without Dhoni Indian team would have made another humiliating exit in the league stage itself. He is termed as one of the best Captains in the whole world.
Re: Re: M S Dhoni is one of the luckiest non-performers ever
by siddharth pathak on Jun 02, 2012 02:50 PM
yes...because no other captain has lost 8 matches continuously on the trot...no other captain has led his team 2 two series whitewashes (and most of the defeats were innings defeats)

by Selva Kumaran on Jun 02, 2012 03:27 PM
Yes. Nobody has any rights to talk about a captain who failed in all the world cup matches. Except for the last match where he just clicked.
Dhoni is the King Midas. So he should must do something, why we lost 8 matches. Ohhh the team didnt perform? See Captain is as good as a team.

by Balakrishnan Natarajan on Jun 02, 2012 04:03 PM
Yes Dhoni, rose in the most important match of the World Cup Series unlike his mates who failed miserably in the final match. Winning the final is crucial than progressing towards it, like 2003 WC. Gambhir, Dhoni and Yuvaraj Sing are most valuable players of the team; additionally Dhoni is the most valuable Captain India had ever seen. 0-8 Test matches whitewash is due to several other reasons rather than Captaincy failure. Reasons behind the two test series white washes: 1. Team not interested to play since we won World Cup 2. Team not interested to play since IPL pay much more for shortest version. 3. Fake injuries to take rest. 4. Very old players not capable of maintaining stamina. 5. Stupid team which is always vulnerable in overseas pitches and bowling attack.

When you come just before tail - most of the time you end up remaining not out and the average will naturally high.True test how many time as percentage one score 50plus as percent of the innings played .He has helicopter shot in India he fails even to bring the bat on ball in Aus and Eng.

Dhoni is not a good batsman or a good wicket keeper. His test batting is boring. Dinesh Karthik is more entertaining batsman and good wicket keeper. some big corporates are behind Dhoni and his captaincy

you are wasting your mr pathetic pathak..dhoni is koolest captain ever..whenever other batsman failed he rose to the occasion..all other captains includin sehwag, dravid, gambhir, zaheer are no match for Dhoni..you better watch IPL league only...you are not fit to watch Indian cricket...mr jelousy pathetic pathak

4-0 England and 4-0 Australia, whitewash including innings defeats...good job Dhoni, India played betterthan this even in the 60's and 70's with far weaker teams....this record will be diffficult to break (even by Bangladesh)
Re: Re: time to throw the uselss freedriding parasite named M S D
by Balakrishnan Natarajan on Jun 02, 2012 02:50 PM
Team India acheivements with Dhoni's captaincy. 1. T20 World Cup 2. ODI World Cup 3. No.1 Spot in Test Rankings for more than an year. 4. Three titles for his club team CSK. Dhoni was the first test captain to have most percentage of test wins and less percentage of test losses before those two miserable overseas series. Those two series 0-8 because of the team not interested to play test match for three reasons. 1. They just won the world cup. 2. Fake Injuries. 3. They have earned a lot in IPL. IPL is the one to blame for test losses but not the captain.

Dhoni might need some rest, but there is no reason to underestmate his cricketing skills. Send the Indian team as Gambhir as captain to few International tours like South Africa, Srilanka, Australia and England. Let him excel in all those conditions and then make comparisons with Dhoni, but not now.

fool, india became No.1 in tests because of Sachin, Rahul, Laxman and Kumble. Learn your cricket first.

by Selva Kumaran on Jun 02, 2012 04:11 PM
Its not good for Indian cricket. Its like Tamilnadu vs Rest of India. Even if Dhoni scores Ducks in all the 50 ininings, he still is captail pool. I mean cool. Ena pasanga da neenga?
one ipl cup win and India captain...leading for 20 overs a side with Kallis, Lee, Mcullum and a side with ageing mandarins who are over the hill for 5 days are two diff ball games...Saurav should be asked to shut up..Gambhir is a huge flop when ball goes above ankle!!!!
No chance, Gambir cannot be compare to Dhoni Dhoni played captain knock in unforgettable world cup final,whereas gambir show in IPL Final is zero. Taking responsibility on his own shoulder is what needed in crunch games that is in finals.
Re: Dhoni vs gambhir
by siddharth pathak on Jun 02, 2012 02:32 PM
you are an illietearte it seems...it was beacuse of gambhir that ind won the world cup...Dhoni, the useless parasite promoted himself up the order after it was almost sure thatindia would win the match because of gambhir's knock...this is how dhoni falsely takes credit in almost all matches
Re: Re: Dhoni vs gambhir
by Balakrishnan Natarajan on Jun 02, 2012 02:40 PM
In WC Finals, Gambhir would have laid the platform when it is highly demanding, but Dhoni has taken it in himself to finish it off. We have seen India collapsing within 30 runs after 4th or 5th wicket, who knows what would have happened with Dhoni's breathtaking 90 odd runs. Dhoni was successfull as a Batsman as well as Keeper and Captain. But is it possible for Gambhir to maintain his batting form along with Captainship burden. IPL does not prove anything. IPL is just a fun game. But Test-Cricket is the real test to check anybody's cricketting character. Let's see how Gambhir excels as a Test captain. I wish hi all the best. Finally I only want to see India winning and claiming No.1 spot again.
Re: Re: Re: Dhoni vs gambhir
by siddharth pathak on Jun 02, 2012 02:43 PM
dhoni also has one of the rarest feat of taking india to a 8-0 continuous test defreat streak...including 5 innings defeats and 2 whitewashes...well done dhoni...we are proud of you...this record will stay for a long time

Afterall, cricket is team work game...u can't expect only one player to play...! All the players need to contribute...Gambhir n dhoni contributed...!
Re: Dhoni vs gambhir
by Balakrishnan Natarajan on Jun 02, 2012 02:33 PM
Let them make Gambhir as Captain and let him face media after loosing few games, he will then realize and runaway from that high-pressure job. It is not an easy joke to be a successfull Indian captain, it takes in lot of pressure, talent and diplomacy. Nobody ever has done it remarkably well in past except Dhoni, the leader.
Re: Re: Dhoni vs gambhir
by itla kumar on Jun 02, 2012 03:03 PM
Dhoni has done well in ODIs and T20s,but has not done enough in Tests to be suggested as a successful test captain.His litmus test in Test cricket came in ENG and AUS tours,where the team failed miserably & so did Dhoni. If u r saying no other captain has done so well,then u must have started following Indian cricket in the last 2-3 years after Dhoni became captain.Have you heard somebody named Sourav Ganguly,he is the best captain India ever had.It was during his stint as a captain that Indian cricket really blossomed,the self-belief that they can beat anyone at home & away and from any position.

Re: Dhoni vs gambir
by itla kumar on Jun 02, 2012 03:11 PM
To refresh ur memory even Gambhir scored 97 in the same WC final and Dhoni was complete failure in all the matches except for the final.
Gambhir is 'the best option for captaining the Indian team currently.He is no-nonsense,competitive, prefers performing players and not the media hyped players,doesn't have a political mind.If one more proof is required then look at the ODI series against New Zealand last year,was absolutely attacking captain,won 5-1 or so. It is disgusting to see BCCI keeping MSD as the captain for the last few years,if not they prefer sehwag(who is another uninspiring character,mainly as a captain)whenever there is a need.It shows how empty headed the selectors/bcci are. Better late than never, announce Gambhir as the next captain immediately to take India to the next era of dominance.
Re: Absolutely right...
by Nowfal Rasheed on Jun 02, 2012 02:07 PM
Gambir is too immeture..there is some talks going on and he spoke about his aspiration..this is not suit to a player who is representing the country..if he think it is so easy to lead an international side and produsing result on consistant basis ..he is wrong...he will defnitly get the taste soon

When Dravid was the vice captain and Greg chappel asked him to take up the captaincy from Ganguli owing to his poor run, Dravid polietly refused. It was said he is one of the few vice captains who did not 'plot' against his captain. See Gambir! he talks of captaincy even when Dhoni i still playing. He had a poor run though owing to away series for that matter even Gambir the captian will suffer on away toors. In fact he could not handle tyeh short stuffs. Gambir has to mature!!
If with just winning by a single IPL will not show the toughness and the mental character,it was everyoone to see over the tv how panicky gautam was sitting in the dugout.his speech is reflecting the rift with Dohni
Re: captain?
by kumar kn on Jun 02, 2012 12:12 PM
In a T20 the match can go either way in the last over or last ball.If Dhoni's Chennai had won the match,Gambhir would not have said all these things.The guy needs to grow up and become more mature.One swallow does not make a spring.
