I just don't understand that why Team Management doesn't trust on Irfan Pathan as an All rounder. He proved it many times that he is best with ball as well as bat in shorter format of the game. It's because of our managements attitude that we couldn't able to produce any genuine All rounder. Otherwise there are many talented players (All rounder) there in country, EG. Irfan Pathan, Ravichandran Ashwin etc. No player in the world born as an All rounder from his birth. We should make and develop them by showing trust.

If Irfan plays well, His Highness Ravindu Jadeja will be ignored. Then, there will be nobody to give prostratemassage to Dhoni.

i saw a post of mr Navaneeth A V kutyy on cricinfo...i thought you may be him...but it seems you are not him...
dhoni can act very well that he is simple honesty and very coooool person..but his mind full of dirty thinks...sachin is playing from 16 th age he still not making any issues in the field yet..he is the simple and honest person really...but dhoni have the skill to eliminate sachin from cricket for ever..after sachin he will be the king of indian cricket
he is a great magician..he wants the most expensive celebrity in indian cricket..he wants to take that place from sachin...in asia cup against bangladesh even sachin scores his 100th century...what a captaicy he did is like a magician...just watch that game again and again..he dont instruct any bowlers in the end he wants to eliminate sachin;s record to a loss
Dhoni: The wicket slowed down and it was difficult to hit. But we should have won. Virat gave us a very good start. Our worry was how the wicket would behave in the second half. After the 10th or 12th over it got tough. It was good to see the approach in the start of the innings. It's good for us going into the World Cup.
Dhoni captaincy for T20 format is tentative. For T20 format of game we need captain who is young and aggressive. Yesterday, defeat was squarely due to protective batting habit of Dhoni. He is apprehensive and to consume with the fear of defeat. Dhoni and few senior needs to be kept out from T20 format this will also lead youngsters to demonstrate their talent and find a space in Indian cricket team

Dhoni's critics are after his blood for not finishing this match in India's favour. No body is considering the fact that NZ bowled well in death. Dhoni has finished many matches for India. I believe people remember his finish of World Cup final. The decision to critize any body should be based on long term observations rather than on one off basis.

Joke of the day.... At one time, India needed just 49 runs from 42 deliveries. When kohli's wicket fall, Dhoni could have sent Tiwary, Rohit Sharma or Irfan pathan to the crease. Instead he came himself to get the credit of the victory. Remember Yuvi is coming back after a long time. So the team cant pressure him. So, Dhoni should have to take the responsibility. He simply failed in that. Dirty cricket by the captain.

Well said Badriprasad, even Dhoni did not consider that fact during presentation yesterday. His only excuse was that "The wicket slowed down and it was difficult to hit" :)
