MCcricket Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 (edited) Well we certainly know fans support their teams or their players, some are die hard Sachin fans, some Dhoni, some Virat n that is healthy, but then we have people who make ridiculous statements n can't back it up with facts n figures so this is the thread where we will see who makes those n who can back it up with facts or dismiss those n who will be the winner in making ridiculous claims Edited May 14, 2017 by BeautifulGame G_B_ 1 Link to comment

Khota Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I am a Dhoni fan too but the reality is he is done. There are 3 wicketkeepes who are better than him in current form. Dhoni will fail this CT. He will cause India not to advance to the next stage. MCcricket, mishra, JaFanatic and 1 other 4 Link to comment

Dhoni is totally in a different league. He shouldn't be compared with someone who loses his composure and acts like a mindless chicken on the cricket field. Once again just stating things counter to facts n figures, whereas Kohli has an exceptional record , Dhoni has a very poor one in test especially last 4 years of his captaincy Link to comment

Then we will talk. The comparison between kohli and Dhoni as the captain of the Indian team is so absurd that don't even wanna talk about it. Kohli Is a nobody infront of dhoni. Once again we r talking test n you r being ignorant, n bringing t20 n odi. JaFanatic and express bowling 2 Link to comment
mishra Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Kapil paaji is a legend. Sachin still makes me proud. Will remain so all my life. Forget them heart aches of back test series humiliation against English, Dhoni is a captain who has brought me most joy. Kohli, Dravid and rest, My expectation werent and isnt very high. Will support them. JaFanatic, sandeep and Shunya 3 Link to comment
Khota Posted May 15, 2017 Share Posted May 15, 2017 Stats dont lie and looking at the stats carefully I can draw few conclusions. (1) Dhoni will fail. (2) Rohit will fail. (3) Yuvraj will fail. (4) Bowling will be fine. (5) Indian may not make to semis. MCcricket and JaFanatic 2 Link to comment

I agree with most, selectors are not tuned to modern ODi, n Dhoni, Yuvi are past sell by date n Rahane is hopeless in shorter format. Rohit has problems with moving ball but on his day n if conditions suit him he will score big,this is a hopeless team except for bowling, particular pacers also K Yadav should be in squad, India will not make it past Q/F or S/F. Indian ODI squad needs a revamp as taking 30 balls to score 15 runs n then trying to make up in last 5 overs if you aren't out doesn't work with the current way teams like Aus, SA, Eng are playing, you need to be aggressive n maintain higher S/R from beginning, so Dhoni, Yuvi, Rahane are a liability, as T20 is being played more like t20 these days n 300 to 360 range score are common whereas Indian selectors are still stuck in 1980 mode Ultimate_Game 1 Link to comment
iam_rahul Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Fiction - bhuvi is a great odi bowler Fact he sucks- avgs 39 Lmao. IPL hero. Fiction - raina is not a good player. Fact- anyone who avrgs 35 with strike rate of 90+ is invaluable to the team. JaFanatic, express bowling and Ankit_sharma03 3 Link to comment

A true team man and one of the best fielders to boot. He and Pant should've been picked ahead of Rahane and Yuvraj for CT. JaFanatic and iam_rahul 2 Link to comment

He is the ultimate team man. Never complains. Never plays for his own score. We are wasting him. JaFanatic 1 Link to comment
Khota Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Raina should have been in the team above Yuvraj and Rahane. Bhuvi is good enough. Link to comment
