Why Dhoni is giving a long rope to players like Rohit Sharma, Murali Vijay, Dhawan, Raina, jadeja and Ashwin and sidelining players like Gambhir, Sehwag, Harbajan. Not giving opportunities like Amit mishra, Pujara, pandey. Nowadays i am not understanding Dhoni's stategies. Most of them dont have any logic.
Dhoni is keeping out some senior players who openly said "if India wins it is good captaincy and India loses it is failure of players". When India is losing matches in South Africa and New Zealand, Dhoni publicly criticised bowlers to use brains. I cant imagine a captain making such outrageous comments on his team mates. Dhoni only proved the statements made by those senior players.
This is not street cricket but international level. And a captain should maintain the decorum of the post. A captain should handle team carefully and respect the contribution of players. But not who plays politics and brings others careers to an abrupt stop.
People may argue that senior players are playing politics and are non cooperative. Why such senior players are non-cooperative is because in spite of their contribution they are not rewarded appropriately. If that had been done, we wouldnt have lost South Africa and Newzealand series. We should have visionaries as selectors and captains not people who destroy the future of Indian cricket.
You should always have standbys to fill in the shoes for any post or position, even for a captain. Time to look for a new captain.
when n how gambhir yuvraj n harbhajan become veteran. mr gavaskar pls don bark as if you don't know why amit mishra didn get chance. except late throw ball that ajmal used to use years back ashwin is doing nothing n how he is trying to impress his mentors by his batting
In the recent oversees tours almost all the countries New Zealand, Australian, England,Windies and others too failed miserably.Though Gavaskar a proven legend in batting, like Tendulkar but not so great like Dhoni as Captain. Still he is the shrewd captain in the world as of now. Some players like Rohit, Ishant certain extent Raina continuously fail. Due to the top-order batsmen's failure the team faced failure. The habit of Indians if we win, speak very high and fail throws them out. Persons who never played cricket, speaks more.

Actually Dhoni already prove that he is fully flop in Australia,South Africa,NZ and England Test Series . He prefers only Chennai Super Kings Players . If it is not true then why player like Amit Mishra ,Manoj Tewari , Zaheer Khan , Gambhir not giing any chance in ODI where experience is needed . His selection is selfish
It seems that team is now a days selected on the basis of Financial commitements and partnerships. Once Mishra satisfies Dhoni, the way he want, he will be selected in the team, even if he is unfit.
What do you feel about Binny's one over in debut match an dropped,maybe forever????What dp you have to say about unnumerable chances to Raina,Ashwin,Jadeja,Ishant, Dhoni etc
Ahwin should be dropped from all overseas tours , he is a total failure and ineffective. A bowler who can only bowl against West Indies in India. Throw him out .
Sunnybhai, you're quite right in your observation but if at all anyone can answer the query it is MSD only & no one else. Our abroad horror continues to haunt us & I'm very sorry but at this rate we'll not be able to defend out WC title next year in Oz-Nz. It is high time some drastic changes are made in the team. I personally feel that Raina, Ashwin should make way for somebody else. Maybe Rohit, Shikhar are under scanner. Jaddu should not be overconfident after a couple of good shows. In real terms, only Virat & MSD have excelled in this tour so far. Hope that Test series will be a better show. I may sound repetitive but it cannot be helped. I feel that your personal inputs to MSD / Team India will help them in the long run. All the best to team india for Tests.

Even kumble at this age will bowl better than this Aswin. He is a total waste. He was selected as a bowler and his primary job is to take wickets. But he is not doing so. If u r telling that he batted well in 1 match, then it is the duty to batsmen.
Mishra bowls atleast one long hop per over, leaking runs like an bucket with many holes. India needs a new captain, new coach, and new players. Stop picking players because of their IPL record, IPL connections and model agency connections. BTW, cement Srini mama needs to go before he destroys Indian cricket further.
