if you are playing for the nation then don't hesitate to drop your self out from team if you feel that country is above you who ever you might be ... if you are out of form keep away from team
raina supporting is illogical and one could only friendly attachment, ishant is out of form for a long time now as jadeja,ashwin are as ishant is failing from long tim
Well it is well known from the fact that Ishant is a good bowler. He can win matches. We can't judge him by one bad game. He needs to be given time to prove himself. I think Dhoni also knows about the strength of the Bowlers.
Let Raina come good first then talk about others, he has failed miserably in this series, till now, given the opportunity to bat at number 4, failed twice.? think of self, first.
If u see Stats 10 Over Among Yuvraj/Kohli/Ashwin gave 96 Runs(9.6 RR) That really make difference. But Ishant gave 30 runs in a over that catched my everyone. Ishant also gave 8 Over 63 runs (Equi - 8.0 RR)

Rohit stayed in the team....as a middle order batsman.... even without scoring for 1 year..... Its just been few months that Rohit has performed.... then Why not Raina.... he will take some time to settle down at No.4.... Coz he is not used to that position....

Teena, It is not that 4000 runs were scored in great bowling conditions. Rohit has a great technique and also is willing to learn. The problem with Raina is that he hardly learns from the last 5 years that he needs to either leave the bouncer or needs to learn play them well. He seems inclined to make a mockery of the bouncer. He looks inept to play that ball. In one every over you can look at him and see that he is looking for the bouncer ball, rather than play the game ball by ball... He is what you call in a stage fright kind of situation.. After the first ball he is searching for the bouncer...

Ishant is Faltu indeed but RAINA isn't.... When Raina doesn't score runs.... Atleast he contributes in Fielding & Bowls Part-time Spin as well if its required.... If Ishant doesn't Bowl well.... He doesn't contribute well enough in other departments either.... Ishant needs to be dropped by Selectors.... Coz we all know that Dhoni is not going to do it....
After playing international cricket for so many years if Ishant does not know how to bowl in last few overs he does not deserve a place in the team. It shows very badly on Dhoni. It seems Dhoni does not like any new comers as replacements.

Basics of the fast bowler are line, length and change of pace and mixing of inswing and outswingers. These guys get training before every series in the fast bowling academy at Bangalore. Wonder what the heck they learn

he worked two days before 4th ODI. before 3rd ODI he was sleeping so all the matches before 4th ODI he should be pardoned.both are not performing so one is supporting other.both of them should be kept in last bench and bring some first benchers for the next game so that indian team will be better for world cup.

Don't compare Ishant with Raina.... When Raina doesn't score runs.... Atleast he contributes in Fielding & Bowls Part-time Spin as well if its required.... If Ishant doesn't Bowl well.... He doesn't contribute well enough in other departments either.... Ishant needs to be dropped by Selectors.... Coz we all know that Dhoni is not going to do it....
