Discussion on Why Dhoni lost his cool...

Dhoni is the master of EXCUSES & BLAMES for his inabiliti

Dhoni further said, "You have to analyse that after losing the toss, what was the reason that we couldn't make many runs on that wicket.

What kind of silly & nonsense excuse was that ?

This man always has some or the other excuse or blame to give it on something whether it's pitch, toss, conditions, batsmen, bowlers, fielders etc. etc.

He never accepts that our batsmen batted PATHETICALLY.
Bangladeshi openers managed nearly 8 runs per over in power play whereas our so called great (?) openers managed only about 5 runs per over.

1)What was Shikhar Dhwan's & Sharma's &
Raina's & Yuvraj's contribution with the
bat ?

2)What is a useless player like Dhawan is
doing in the team & been given so many
chances after chances even after so many
repetitive failures?

3)What is Rohit Saharma's last 10 innings
record ? Why he always fail to deliver &
throw his wicket irresponsibly
during crucial & knockout games & when team
really need contribution from him ?

4)What is Raina's contribution with the bat ?
Why he can't bat on Indian tracks & score
even 40 -50 runs in last 10 games that he
had played ? he can't play pace, can't play
bounce, can't play spin then what is he good
at ?
5)Why Yuvraj Singh can't play in fast &
attacking manner?

6) On square tuner track why Dhoni has not pick his most experienced spinner Harbhajan ,& left him to is warm the benches for all the

tournament & when Ashwin is spinning the bowl a handful ? Why Dhoni has not given the bowl to Yuvraj when Ashwin , Jadeja & Raina were turning the bowl so much ?
7) Why Dhoni never promote himself up the order when the team is in spot of bother ? He promote himself up only when there has been a good foundation & just modest total is required to chase down. He hits the bowl for six & our people get crazy over it & declare him match-finisher ... But he never take the onus to bat up the order when team is going with difficult situation. He always send someone to face the muddy water & arrive when it gets clear.
Dhoni should have been LAMBASTED with PLENTY OF SUCH SERIOUS & CRITICAL QUESTIONS for which HE HAS NO ANSWERS. That scribe, in fact asked him too politely, he should have chided him for his arrogance. Dhoni always gets away with such undeserved & freaky wins & always try to get away with the REAL & ROOT-CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR OUR FAILURES.

Totally agree with you all of the above just yesterday before the match started there was a brief interview of our great shikhar dhawan by Pommie MBangwa and asked him about his form and what is he going to do about it going ahead and to my utter shock the reply given by shikhar was yes I have been doing well in past 6-7 months and will try to maintain that form I mean really ehaf was he saying he had been all time failure with no form going for him at all and here he says I am going to maintain same form guess he means he will continue to fail and dissappoint us rather tease us.

Most questions you raised are agst the selection committee for which in no way the captain could not reply. The captain is given with 15 players of different combination and he is responsible to play within that 15. Every one knows except Virat all batsmen failed to play to their potential. Dhoni has been about ten years with smile used to reply to the newsmen and no controversy he had earlier. When he got angered mean what a silly question the reported would have asked. In fact the question was so silly- who could be satisfied with one run win with a low rated team, while survival is first step at that stage.

What was so silly in the question ? It's really shameful that our batsmen couldn't score even a formidable total on the same pitch where Bangladeshi batsmen could score easily at their will.
It's really shocking & unbelievable on Dhoni's part to say that pitch was turning so much that our batsmen couldn't score even respectable total & the same pitch suddenly got so better that their batsmen could score at will.

We have to congratulate That journalist for being brave & asking the truth . He pressed the finger on Dhoni's painful nerve where it hurt him the most. Dhoni had absolutely no answer to his question & that's why he chose to attack him & silent him or else other's would have also started to ask such " UNCOMFORTABLE" questions to him for which he had no answers.

I appreciate that journalist's courage for calling spade a spade & not praising Dhoni or saying some goody-goody words istead of addressing many serious issues of our pathetic batting, fielding & even bowling display.

You are saying that most questions are angst selection committee, to some ext yes but by & large NO.

Captaincy can not be taught by selection committee. Bowling changes that Dhoni made were absolutely beyond logic. When Raina, Jadeja, Aswin were getting so much purchase from the pitch then why he didn't give even 1 over to Yuvraj ? Why he didn't give second over to Raina, when his first over was so difficult to score-off? Why he didn't select Harbhajan on square turner track instead of Nehra/ Pandya/Bumrah? Why is he persisting with Dhawan at the top even after such a dismal performance & not giving Rahane any chance, when it's proved that Rahane has very healthy average ?
Why he never promote himself up the order when the team is in spot of bother?

Dhoni is accountable for all these questions as a captain and NOT THE SELECTION COMMITTE.

Dhoni is a cry baby. He always have some childish & unbelievable excuses such as toss, pitch, conditions etc.

Captaincy cannot be taught- yes that is why he has been continuing as captain with a record win of over 60% of matches and no captain in India had such records earlier and certain extend in world too.
Yes I too felt on that day during the course of play, one/two overs spinners could have been used. I am unable to accept inclusion of Rahane - of the top 5 batsmen 4 failed except Virat - any changes could spoil the combination and morale too.
Promoting Dhoni himself up: He is too good only when he plays after 15th over - if he enters before 12th over, it is certain that the team would fail. eg. When Sachin was successful while he opens, the team won. Similarly if sachin plays two down the top order performed well. It is mere psychological or morale boosting. Dhoni has trained himself to accelerate the score. Sometimes he promoted up the order that you would have seen - that must be after 15th over.
Other day he had sent Pandya up the order instead of Yuvraj resulting 6 balls 15 runs.
To me ideal order is: Raina after 8th over, Yuvaraj after 12th over and Dhoni after 16th over - the team could get more than 160.
Just to refer you yesterday\'s match between WI and SA. Similar situation what India had on the previous day. 2 overs 20 runs (India 2 overs 17 runs) Due to poor planning SA failed. India\'s win over Bangla desh (though the team is rated low) will ever remembered. 2 runs 3 balls 3 wickets Indian Victory - mere captaincy - had the team failed Dhoni\'s position?
