in reading the pitch correctly this you have done on number of other games against eng test series, pak and kiwis too... it is better for you to keep losing toss as your record shows then winning because that will put you in fix if you lose one

Yes absolutely correct he is liability how long team India should take this moreover he is one who is playing politics , why on earth Ishant Sharma in team and where is Umesh Yadav . BCCI should appoint Sachin as Chief Mentor of team or five years and LalChand Rajput as team coach(he was coach when India won innaugral T20 world cup) and Dhoni as Captain for T20 and 50-50. Yuraj as Test captain

Yes. And lets pray that Dhoni misreads all pitches from now on. :-) Then we are surely invincible.
well not just dhoni commentators also read the pitch wrong, they all were expecting it to be batting paradise (300-325 runs wicket) but every1 was surprised after how it played

Probably he had fixed it for the opponent or he had taken alcohol for which he is the brand ambassador! But it backfired!
That is what we have to understand. If he thought it will help the team batting second, he should be batting second! If he is doing the opposite means he is a fixer!

No human is perfect any1 can commit mistake. If u cant support the team then atleast dont spoil anyone's name. Cricket doesnt need your kind of supporters you are the spoilers

It is not a question of perfection. If you think the pitch will help the team batting second why bat first after winning the toss? I don't support any team, but know cricket reasonably well and appreciate good cricket, not politics.

well out of 5 only 3 matches left So it cant be 1-4. Dont go MAD in trying to criticise DHONI Mr.Arun & Mr.Ramesh.

Well said. The truth was that Dhoni felt that the Team batting second would win, so he batted first. Finally winning the match would surely have come as a surprise to him after making elaborate arrangements to lose it.
