(contd.)Another veteran of 10 yrs of IPL on the wane for sure appears to be the sardar, Bhajji getting dropped from the play offs altogether! The way he has been bowling in this IPL mechanically like a bowling machine w/o much of enthusiasm with no expression on the face clearly points to his waning career. And perhaps could be the reason for the team management preference for the young Karan Sharma bowling with gusto to take wickets!

Reason??? For Smith, obvious for all to see...he batted very slowly in spite of being in form and scoring a half century.

Smith knew that Bumrah/Malinga will bowl in the death and they have been performing very well in this tournament. He should have scored quickly against other bowlers rather than leaving it till the last for Dhoni who had been inconsistent and not in best of touches. Quite clear that Smith was the fixer

reason is because dhoni did not like being thrown out of the captaincy.if you remember pune was in 7th position last year with dhoni being captain.so he was envious of smith
Re: Re: Re: Re: Fixed
by Sunil Bhandari on May 22, 2017 01:42 PM
Yeah so why was he helping SMith out on the field...it was there for even the general public to see that he was helping out plus reports quoting Pune team members and commentators saying that Dhoni was very supportive..Not performing well would have proved to be personally degrading to Dhoni as in next year's auction his value will go down considering that he is about to retire. So he will always try to give his best on the field to maintain his market value

I am sure that Dhoni will never perform badly just because he is envious of Smith or wants to take revenge on Goenka. He is not that childish or naive.

what bulshit you are speaking?how much do you get for licking his parts?you want to listen to team members and commentators to defend dhoni?what happened to your standards of assessing other players v dhoni
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Fixed
by Sunil Bhandari on May 22, 2017 01:51 PM
There there...no logical argument so resort to abusing...get a life ..I did not go to hear anyone, reports were all there in public domain...but people like you who have not attained any success in life are just envious of how anyone else can be successful so....

reports were also there that dhoni lied to the investigators about csk owners,were you pumping weed then?

so your statement is logical and others statement is illogical.makes you nothing short of a fanboy
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Fixed
by Sunil Bhandari on May 23, 2017 10:30 AM
Here we are talking of Smith/Dhoni/Pune/Goenka and this guy gives an argument about CSK which is totally unrelated to the case...Dhoni didn't play well deliberately as he was envious of Smith and wanted to take revenge on Goenka for stripping him off his captaincy..what a schoolboyish logic..
Re: Re: Re: Re: Fixed

This guy or gal or..doesn't even have the courage to give reveal his name in the forum and is abusing Dhoni...why people like him get sadistic pleasure in bashing rich & famous beats me...just like the politicians who bash their own soldiers
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Fixed

tell your rediff fathers to reveal my id,it is a flaw in the system.if you want my name then take it,nilayan mukherjee.going by your logic even you are getting sadistic pleasure in bashing rich and successful people like smith by calling him a fixer.

Aha a Bengali...no wonder.. all Bengalis are envious of the rich & famous & successful..that's why they end up remaining unemployed, join politics or join non paying non challenging jobs. Very few have become rich entrepreneurs.. They like commenting & abuse successful people
last year dhoni was the captain,he lead from the front and ensured pune the last berth.clearly he was not to be blamed because how much he can do when the remaining ten are useless.this year they had a new captain and the team went to the finals in which dhoni single handedly ruined the chances of rps.but goenka and smith should be blamed for this years loss because how much can dhoni do if all others fail.he is the best finisher in the whole world and is a world class test,sorry odi,sorry t20 player

Thats a funny comment :-). You mean to say the owners of Mumbai Indians are not "business people" ??

by Sunil Bhandari on May 22, 2017 09:48 AM
How- can you pls elaborate or is it just rhetoric- why dhoni is fixer and not smith
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Ego of goenka thrashed
by on May 22, 2017 10:08 AM
dhoni played slowly at the end and skrewed the chances to thrash goenkas ego.smith got out trying to accelerate because dhoni slowed down.now tell me how it is a clearly fixed match as you claim
Re: Re: Ego of goenka thrashed
by Jaiganesh on May 22, 2017 09:34 AM
How is dhoni a fixer. If at all fixing is done. It would be done by smith. He is the captain. Why blame dhoni. Smith also played very slowly. Think before blaming dhoni.

jaiganesh what is the meaning of strike rate?and he is supposed to be the best finisher on earth
Re: Re: Re: Re: Ego of goenka thrashed
by Sunil Bhandari on May 22, 2017 01:35 PM
In this entire tournament, Smith was the main scorer in almost all their matches...Dhoni played well in only 2 ...so Smith was in much better form and also the leader, he could and should have scored quickly knowing that Dhoni was not in the best of touches and inconsistent
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Ego of goenka thrashed
by on May 22, 2017 01:39 PM
dhoni purposely played badly in this tournament because he did not like pune winning under smith
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Ego of goenka thrashed
by Sunil Bhandari on May 22, 2017 01:47 PM
And lower his own market value and loose substantial money due to this childish reason...come on he has been the captain of India and has contributed quite significantly ...show some respect
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Ego of goenka thrashed
by on May 22, 2017 03:59 PM
childish reason?maybe for you but not for players.with your logic,you are calling smith as a fixer who is a very successful player and the captain of an international side with significant contribution,when will YOU show respect?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Ego of goenka thrashed
by Sunil Bhandari on May 23, 2017 10:35 AM
Hello Smith licker & white skin worshipper, all the attributes that you mentioned about Smith, applies to Dhoni also..he was also India's captain and international player..he spent more time in international cricket and is richer than Smith..You carry an Indian name so I believe you are an Indian, but you with your slave mentality would rather lick the boots of white skin than support a local National hero...what a sham
