what to say - The Bhisma of the current team keeps mum. Said publicly thisis the best captain he ever played for ... the team is completely ruined - thanks to the Chennai connection of BCCI president and Selection committe president!!!
Srilanka is very much deserved to enter CB Final.Hats off to Jayawardene as he won against Aussies even though his 2 front line bowlers are injured in the middle of the Match,That is the winning spirit and he tactically used all his resources.What a change for SL from tour to SA and now in Aussies.This shows the character of Jayawardene,as i can no player is added or dropped which they toured for S and now in Aussies.Dhoni you have to learn a lot from Jayawardene.I hope Srilanka should win CB series.As they beat Aussies 3 times in a row.All the Best Jayawardene.
From Dhoni.Did not allow a single match to Manoj Tiwari though went on giving chance after chance to that nincompoop Raina and his boyfriend the Great Ravindra Jadega

Dhoni did his best, but crooked aussies and umpires conspired ti get india out of the final!SO,as planned&fixed, Australia Lost the Match as Predicted by Many! This was FIXED from the Beginning! ICC must investigate using Scotland Yard or FBI, Aussies wanted Lanka to be in final so that they can have a walk-over in Finals! Shame BCCI is taking all this boool sheeet lying down like typical slaves of westerners! Biased umpires must be kicked out and so also BCCI must Learn NOT to be slaves of icc western crooks and MUST NOT allow indian players to be punished for silly crimes while allowing westerners and western team go scot-free even when they commit gig cimes on the field and off the field! Shame BCCI and indian rulers. BCCI MSU BAN Tests Forever and MUST refuse to play TESTS in India as well as Abroad to that we do not become pooer than africa soo, by wasting maillions of work hours watching Boring&poverty-producing useless Test Cricket for days together, Shame BCCI,Shame!
Dhoni, don't tell me that you are 32-33 years with so much of grey hair on your face. Let us get on with it mate - I would hate to believe you are anything less than 37 or 38. Why then do you have problems with seniors in the team - Are you not one of them.
Now this was a job only he could have done. You can't expect any of the good old biased legends like Gavarskar or Kapil to step forward for the holy purpose. It's totally another thing that both can sniff the smell of money faster than Rajeev Shukla.
I remember when Srikkanth used to (probably he was the first one) loft the ball through the 30-yard circle in the one-dayers and all these wise guys or cricket and the entire media would start criticizing him for the act. But here's another example of Indian 'slave' mentality - once the Aussies started to do the same and yielded success with aggression, all the wise guys started to say we should adopt this superior 'technology' - huh!
It appears to me that the Delhi guys have been lobbying against Dhoni for a long time, even before the world cup, in the leadership of woh - kaps, kukku? But then Sharad Pawar had the power, and now what?
Irrespective of whatever happens, I would want Team India to positively plan ahead for the upcoming challenges than to pacifying career-sucking old egos.
Well done selectors! Dhoni IS the best leader and has performed tremendously well under pressure - though his record in this series wouldn't reflect the dirtier aspects of that 'pressure'. Let's go ahead for cricket wins than political wins.

Cheeka did it correct this time. But shortfalls in Indian team are plenty.
Only Result should speak for Indian cricket team nothing else. They have access to all kind of resources.Wisdom or a wise man is missing.
Well thats how the things run in India in every other sphere.Our eyes and ears are closed.

Throughout history, whenever there is a rift in the Indian side players like Gambhir, Sehwag, Yuvraj and Harbhajan Singh have been on the receiving end. An earlier example is Sidhu against Azhar.
With Ganguly taking over, things started to improve, with players like Shewag and Harbhajan. Then came the Greg-Chappell fiasco and some of these players lost out.
With Dhoni's strong alliance with the BCCI and the Chennai IPL franschise which includes players in the Indian team as well, Gambhir, Sehwag will lose out.
And the dropping of Harbhajan along with chronic absences of Yuvraj in the past the team politics has raised his ugly head.

REMEMBER DURING WORLD CUP EVERYBODY WAS SAYING WHY SREESANTH & PIYUSH AND CURSING CHEEKA ? STILL WE WON THE WC ? HE IS A PERSON WHO IS WILLING TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY UNLIKE HIS PREDECESSORS

suggest all cricketers wife to be in the selection panel arti,natasha, anjaji,sakshi, preeti etc. This will be great fun.
I agree, Srikanth as Selection Committee Chairman has of late become unreliable. I thought He was always somewhat fidgety and relied on luck rather than clarity of thought and strategy. Mohinder Amarnath on the other hand is a balanced and No Nonsense man. I wish his term as Head of Selection Committee begins quickly, notwithstanding Srinivasan as BCCI boss.

Mohinder: Balanced and no nonsense? I am not really sure about that. Anyway, lets see. I dont know what were the reasons for dropping Sehwag. But poor form is the right reason. I only wish the selectors could have been more honest
I see the media and people are are all talking about the Indian cricket. One thing we all should understand that BCCI chief owns Supre king where Dhoni,Suresh,Ashin and now Jadeja plays, Srikant is the brand ambassador of the team and from madras close to Chief. So lte not wait time and energy on this.

True, as far as I know even Sachin, Sehwag, Gauti, Kohli, Pathan, Zaheer, Yadav are from Madras. Even if there is a mosquito from Madras in the cricket gear of players I am sure you will blame selectors being biased

he he he....idli sambar rules...gone or the days of mumbai & delhi dominance.this is a fact.
Dhoni's luck seems to have run out!! He is the person mainly responsible for our loss: 1. He shouldnt have selected Sachin, 2. He shouldnt have ruined 2 matches with his super slow defense! 3. He shouldnt have behaved so cheaply with the seniors.
