Re: Re: MSD by Shilpa Mehta on Feb 18, 2014 03:32 PM How can u drop a batsman who is in excellent form since last one year ?? Even in NZ tour he scored good both in tests & ODI . And , what is the use of a spinner on fast, swinging & bouncy tracks of NZ . Even NZ team played with four fast bowlers & no spinner . Jadeja played as a batsman all rounder & not as a specialist spinner . In this entire tour spinners has no role to play & took very few wickets .    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Dhoni ? by Jai Babu on Feb 18, 2014 01:03 PM He is the best captain for the ODI and T20 format. But it is high time that Dhoni is stripped off the Test captaincy. His Test record is now become godawful especially in overseas conditions.    Forward   |   Report abuse
