Only 4 Out of 11 Matches he has a SR of above 100(Only 2 Above 120)

 

 Not talking about averages,not about Highest Scores..... F*ing Strike Rates. The one thing that even the most slow T20 batsmen manage to do easily-Score at even just more than run a ball.And we are talking about MSD-The so called best finisher in the world. The Krishna of RPS. Comes in the 15th over or so. Makes a mockery of Run-chases requiring 12+ RPO by Defending. The Other batsmen around him have to literally strike 3 runs every ball to make up for him. Moreover, there is no intent. He is coolly defending the balls in the 17th-18th over. Being Such a senior member,he has probably played the worst String of innings in the history of IPL.

I sometimes doubt how this guy managed to do so well for India as a leader when he doesn't have the guts to recognize that he is screwing his team and that his days are over. I mean he should have at least done something. Maybe walkout 1 down or even Open (If there is no replacement available that is) . Stupid of RPS management to not have a WK backup option. 

 

If RPS do manage to not qualify as top 2(Esp if it comes down to NRR) then it will be this man to blame.

 

And the big question-Does this guy really deserve to go to England? If he is in the team only for his valuable inputs that he gives to VK(Not denying it)...Better hire him as a consultant or a mentor.

 

It is an eye sore to see him in this state.

This is the biggest question here. Frankly, RPS is a private enterprise and who they select or who they don't is their problem. India team selection matters and Dhoni on current form should not even qualify for a spot in the A team, forget the senior team. But MSK Prasad and his brigade just do not have the guts to drop a big name like MSD. They will just be pussy cats and select a "safe" team.

Let's not confuse formats here. On current form based on IPL there are others who wouldn't make ODI team as well.

Well he is not in the best of his form, which happens to every player and t20 doesnt give u much of time. 

I dnt knw why we are going crazy as if it hasnt happened to other player. I remeber when sourav had a downfall the guy wasnt able to even touch the ball, Tendulkar dravid kept getting bowled. 

He still hasnt be to horrendeous, the guys scored runs in his last series and was 2nd highest scorer in previous. 

What all the fuzz about are others scoring 100 after 100 or due to him is someone like gilchrist or sanga is on bench. 

We want to leave yuvi n dhoni out, so which leaves with kohli alone when it comes to help for captaincy. It very important to have exp players around for a captain. Then kohli isnt tactically that brilliant. Even wen all seniors lost place dhoni had troubles with his captaincy....

 

When a guy is struggling and if he is still winning a game or two here and well u shud stick to him. Most of all he hasnt become a liability in field which many becomes. 

 

Lets not mix formats, if this IPL becomes a base well half of our senior team shud sit at home n many oldies shud return

The above all this rubbish is the frustration coming out from the op due to the disaster that his team is. :giggle: The only part worth replying is the one I quoted. 

The op looks confused to not see the difference between a t20 tournament and an odi tournament. In the last odi series India played some 3 months ago MSD was the fourth highest aggregate scorer with a strike rate of 100 and average of 55.

 I know they are different formats.

But my point is that When he can't score runs against a weak bowling  attack in India with limited pressure then won't be long shot of you want him to score against quality international attack on English pitches and with a lot more pressure..

And the things you call Rubbish are all facts. Remove your fan goggles that had made you blind and look at it again.

Dhoni can still be pretty good in ODIs if he bats at 4 where he can take his time.

I don't think so. If we have a flying start he would suck the momentum with his lunges. This position is good for him but the best position is out of the team. :phehe:

Plus if any of Yuvraj or Kedar gets niggle, the replacement Manish Pandey(most likely) could not bat any lower than no 4.

BOLD 1 : Thats the irony here, He struggled against weak bowling and smashed two of top attacks . :cantstop: 

ONLY batsman to hit bowler of the tournament Bhuvi for 19 in 1 over. 

 

BOLD 2 : I feel the same but his record in england says different story :giggle: 

http://stats.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/player/28081.html?class=2;host=1;template=results;type=batting;view=innings

BOLD 3 : Commiserations bro. There is always next year :nice:
