Get Dhonified !!!


Recommended Posts

Since his birthday is over.....some more tributes

 

1. “If he (Dhoni) did back down from Test cricket, India wouldn’t miss his strange, often weird, tactics. His selections are illogical when finding the appropriate balance in picking enough specialist players to out-skill the opposition over long periods.” – Martin Crowe in Cricinfo.

 

2. “A lot of MS Dhoni’s captaincy throughout this series has been questionable. It seems to me that he is trying to do things that people say he shouldn’t do just to prove them wrong. That is the impression I get.” – Michael Holding in Wisden India.

3. “You can always lose, that is fine, but you go down fighting. I did not find him [MS Dhoni] do that. To me the captain has lost his usefulness and it is time for him to go.” – Ian Chappell slamming Dhoni’s captaincy in the ongoing series as only he can.

4. “Bizarre and weird. No common sense or logic whatsoever.” – Shane Warne on MS Dhoni’s unusual bowling changes and field placements in the ongoing Test series against England.

 

5. “I am not a big fan of Dhoni, but I must surely say that no one has ever enjoyed so much of power and authority from the cricket body. I believe that not even the great Tiger Pataudi or Sunil Gavaskar had ever enjoyed this kind of power. As a leader, Dhoni is not accessible to his teammates. This has been said by his teammate, none other than VVS Laxman.” Bedi said in January 2014 at a book launch referring to Laxman’s quote during his retirement.

 

6. “His Test captaincy has been obnoxious. But changing captains now will unsettle the team. His place is not in doubt in Test cricket, but Dhoni needs to set the overseas record right.” – Sourav Ganguly following India’s 1-0 Test series defeat in New Zealand in 2014.

 

7. “I think he’s got to realise this very quickly, that if he wants to win Test matches abroad, he’s got to risk it all. He’s got to take that chance that he’s going to have to lose some Test matches. The only way you can win abroad is to take a few risks, take a few gambles.” – Rahul Dravid in Cricinfo following India’s 1-0 Test series defeat in New Zealand in 2014.

9.180+ run chase. 41 (38) can't win it for you. Some days it might come off but most days it won't from there

Happy Birthday MSD  from pure heart When You Started Your Carreer I was your Fan of your batting ,HoweverAfter 2008 I was not your Fan  nor your hater /Critic  , Any Way PLease try toBat Like MSD of Pre 2007 ERA . 

MSD from 2005-2007 was a beast, would love to see him go back to that mode for once before retiring.

I would like to see MSD  bat  the way he did till 2011.  Dhoni hitting those big sixes in the slog overs of ODIs is one of the the better sights in international cricket.   He has been one of the best finishers ever in ODIs and I hope he remembers that.

 

Also. Dhoni has been a top keeper against spin bowling and his ability to stump has been the best I have seen. Hopefully, BCCI will use him in the development process of new keepers, once he retires.

WE really really need this. We have batting depth but keepers after saha dont give any confidence at all.
