Favouritism rules
by jayaraman satish on Jan 31, 2014 07:48 PM

As far as dhoni is concerned...it is his favourities who play....why not Rasool in the squad despite consistent performances....Why ishant and rohit and raina are retained despite not doing well...they have been given a too long a rope...while Amit mishra is not even looked into same is with Stuart Binny.when ashwin and jadeja are hardly threating to pick wickets..I am very happy for this loss...since winning the 2007 T20 worldcup Dhoni has not won anything outside india...all his wins...tests, ODI, world cups and T20s all only in india and nothing else..DADA was the greatest captain to have served india after TIGER...Dhoni is selfish...opinionistic..cricketer..who should be thrown out.

4. Yuvraj Singh(Allrounder)
5. Dhoni
6. Raina/Jadeja
7. Rahane/Rayudu/RUthappa

Dhoni ever used his brain for good of INDIAN CRICKET??see below
by kalyan karpurapu on Jan 30, 2014 02:27 PM  | Hide replies

I am not sure why people are surprised with his bizzare choices
1. Opening with Kohli...
2. Mshami not completing full quota of overs regularly even he is the by far highest wickettaker in last two series....

Sorry this is what dhoni always been just GAMBLING CAPTAIN, he has hardly ever shown cricketing brain..........but unbelievable Political brain....see below
1. Sends Ashwin above Genuine alrounders Jadeja/Binny - To defend Ashwin's place
2. Hardly using Yuvraj-Bowler (If people can remember last T20 WCup where Yuvraj was given ball after trying Rohit/Raina) - can any one explain why 2nd highest wtaker ODI WCUP used to get bowling after trying all possible options its simple if Yuvraj lhanded bowler succeeds then there is not place for Sir Jadeja because Jadeja as Batsman is not even better than Ashwin
3. Point 2 also applies to Justify Rohit's selection as he was woefully out of form in ENG & AUS series still find place in T20, so he wants to prove Rohit's/Raina's utility by showing contributions from bat/bowl

4. Always finds a reason to pick his bunnies and always finds reason to ignore the talented Rahane/Mtiwari/Pujara/Amishra just by carrying them series after series as BENCH Boys - How is this encouragement

Now the truth is out - Ganguly/Dravid build Brand INDIA backing matchwinners who won us games in & Abroad (Yuvraj/ZAK/Sehwag/Hbajan)- its for every on to analyze T20 WCUP/ODI WCUP/No.1 Test Ranking, you can see the core group developed

All T20/ODI Wcup & Test No.1 ranking should be credited to Ganguly/Dravid - dravid because he was Vcaptain throughout & also captained India later.......I have not included other Key contributers Sachin/Laxman/Gambhir etc because they have enough passion for themselves to be sucessfull

Dhoni can only clain stake in Champions Trophy alone where his bunnies performed well RAshwin/Jadeja/Rohi - Kohli/Dhawan were not included because they are never needed someone to motivate them or support them

Aaron over one of top wicket taker Ishwar Pandey

Ishwar Pandey was an option.good for kiwis he didn't played.Instead went with "Shoaib Akthar wannabe" who outspace shami by just few km/hr.

BOWLERS IN INDIA
by THOMAS SEBASTIAN on Jan 29, 2014 04:03 PM

are an extinct species. People don't come to watch bowlers perform in India. It is all about batting. Crowd loves to watch boundaries and sixes scored off hapless bowlers on dead tracks.Where is the encouragement for bowlers? Present situation has much to do with the obsession spectators and the administrators have for batting.

NOT PATIENT
by THOMAS SEBASTIAN on Jan 29, 2014 03:56 PM

with other bowlers as he was with Ishant. This is not fair. These bowlers have a right to fail as many times as Ishant was allowed (to fail). Year after year. Series after series.

WTF is the board doing. Find bowlers and put them undera proper proper coach. Bowling coach of this Indian team is some 'Dawes'. Has anyone heard of him?
