After giving so much opportunity and backing of Mr dhoni inspite of so much failure in the past and if he cannot prove his ability then who will be resposibile-Dhoni or the Bunch of Jockers from BCCI.There are better alrounder in India playing in domestic level and scoring better the Jadeja, Rohit Sharma but they are not getting any chance they why only picking up these guys.We are talking about Dhoni as a player and captain can any one tell what his contribution in the cricket arena and he does'nt take the opportunity to build a team or backing any player .what he is doing is that he is carrying forward the legacy of the team built by Mr Ganguly then why we talk about his achievement and it is sad that in future we will remember as a player who is known as man who spoils the dressing room .

which team ganguly built? the one he inherited from azhar consisting of dravid sachin laxman ganguly himself kumble bhajji etc...
wish he had built a team instead of reaping the benefits of azhars successful team...
good for dhoni that he built new generation team and won t20 wc odi wc cb series test no 1 rankingn etc...

And which team Dhoni has built? He reaped the reward from the work Kumble put in building his team.
Dhoni had an opportunity but he ruined it by packing team with his personal friends and family then picking individuals based on talent and performance..

dhoni has built a very good team consisting of players like kohli pujara raina gambhir praveen kumar ishant sharma sreesanth, ashwin jadeja ozha bhuvnesh shami ahmed etc etc you need to have your eyes and brains open,,,otherwise you will not understand the value of dhoni...
it is upto you whether you want to be blind or sighted...

mature stud everybody knows dhoni's test record as a captain batsman and wicket keeper...
till date tell me which indian wicket keeper batsman has better record than him in any of these departments...
and yet you want to claim dhoni is not good in tests...really???

mature stud it is only because of dhoni's maverick and unconventional batting style that is responsible for this misconception that dhoni is not good in tests...but what has technique got to do with it/? see the results the stats...'
somebody who plays and makes runs inspite of having little or no technique is better than somebody with technique but who fails...
mature stud more than technique it is nerves attitude and temperament that are important..and dhoni has plenty of those...whatever he lacks he technique he makes up for it with his never say die attitude fighting till the end and being without nerves in desperate situations...

mature stud, i will give you an example of two contemporaries...sanjay manjrekar and azhar...tell me who was considered technically better and who was not...also tell me who showed technique and who showed runs...
what use all the technique when you cant perform on the field? and if one makes good contributions without the so called classical technique, what is the need to make a big issue of it?

mature stud, i will give you one more example...everybody knows of the south africa captain hansie cronje...everybody knows he captained the sa side after it came out of the isolation...and till he was captain everybody knows sa was a strong force in cricket world...
i suggest you to check hansie cronje's stats as a test captain and test batsman...you will be surprised to find the similarities...
