he was great in australia. useless sandip patil showed regional bias while selecting rahane.he also selected unfit out of form yuvi. chief selector must resign if we miss semis.
On one side Spin pitches are prepared; then you have only one quality spinner in Ashwin.. Jadeja is free lancer, any thing is bonus from him. Opposition teams, knowing that these are spin pitches take 3 quality spinners, and always have two quality fast bowlers, all of them prove handy and your batsmen look all at sea, call it because of good bowling or big names like Rohit, Shikhar, Raina and Yuvraj are struggling. And when it comes to bowling the only two dependable bowlers are Ashwin and Bhumra, the rest are guests based on their luck for the day.. Is this the team that is going to win World Cup with??? Do we not have better players in places of atleast, shikhar, yuvaraj, Nehra, Jadeja and Pandya (Playing him as a seamer on spin pitch is waste)… Well wait and see......
Dhoni's captaincy is beyond understanding. Even on square-turner tracks he doesn't pick experienced spinner like Harbhajan & select Nehra & Bumrah. Ashwin was virtually unplayable in the match against Pakistan & even against Bangladesh yesterday. Had we played one quality spinner from other side along with Ashwin, then it would have been tough for Bangladesh to score runs. Even though Yuvraj is a leg spinner, Dhoni could have easily given him at least one over when the bowl was turning so much. Dhoni selects batsmen like Dhawan, Raina, Yuvraj, Sharma even after their consistent failures & keep talented spinner like Harbhajan outside to warm the benches.

Rightly said.I dont understand why Dhoni sticks on to his own favourites..why is he not playing Ranhaein place of Dhawan or Raina),Harbhajan Singh in place of Pandya and Shami in place of Nehra. Also why cant he randamly promote Jadeja or Ashwin randomly to do some pinch hitting??
