He is just going through some bad times. Why even bother bashing Dhoni. look at how many matches we are winning under him!! He is doing ok so leave him alone!
i dont want excess baggage being carried around. i need a team full of matchwinners and dhoni right now is just a space filler. its irrelevant that we are winning matches without his contribution. if you owned a company and had an employee who is nothing but a paper pusher earning a lot of money would you just let him stay just because its turning profits. would you turn a blind eye towards the wasted resource. i want dhoni outta here

Er.. If that said paper pusher was the Chairman / CEO of the company.... Name an alternative match winner who can walk into Dhoni's position into the Indian team.

Can you answer this question though? http://indiancricketfans.com/showpost.php?p=1199479&postcount=33 Is W.Saha a matchwinner? or Parthiv Patel or KKD? or is there someone else that is magically going to be found by a scout?

We can't even find another nballa in a billion plus population and you are talking about Gilly? :((

I have never rated Dhoni highly for his batting.His technique is destined to fail in swinging and bouncing conditions.But he is an excellent WK. But we cannot forget his captaincy.He has earned the respect of all his team mates.Even the likes of Sachin Dravid Harbhajan dont have any problem playing under his captaincy.His man management skills are excellent.He can motivate the team.Almost always keeps his cool under pressure.So we dont have any better candidate for captaincy than Dhoni right now in India. So IMO his contribution is immense.

:nervous::nervous: are you sharad pawar or n srinivasan in disguise (the closest people i can think of someone who owns cricket) not only are you a moron of the highest order as your OP showed, you are also highly deluded. only good thing is you are only a keyboard warrior and take out your frustrations, complexes here only (hopefully) else who knows what sorta psycho criminal you might become in the real world

and that I believe is what they are doing with Dhoni. The think that he is the player for the position and that he is not a passenger in the team.

Ironically Dhonis keeping was superb in 2nd test. In 1st test it was awful as if not concentrating and not focused(as with keeping need to me focused 1000% to deliver). Clearly someone gave a rocket up his backside in between tests and in 2nd test his glovework was best I have seen it. He is a great keeper if he concentrates, hate it when he becomes casual and thus sloppy. Needs to cut down on work load to remain mentally sharp. Needs to skip odd odi series or at least just play as a batter. Batting is ok in tests and has improved a lot, still room for improvement but neverthless decent with bat as average of 40 shows(before gilly era that would be deemed superb, so maybe still should be viewed as very good). Good cpatain though. He contributes a lot and well worth place in team. Just needs to concentrate more on his keeping and not be sloppy. As when focused and pumped while keeping his glovework is awesome

doesn't score runs. poor wicketkeeping. poor technique i sometimes wonder if he is even test class. we need a specialist in the keeper position and someone who can contribute with the bat. everytime he comes out to bat we must mentally get prepared for the tail. and please don't say captaincy because i didn't see any moves from him to positively influence any match and if it were it can just be attributed to sheer luck. Lets face it the guy has been lucky most of his career and its just a coincidence that he is playing in a team of matchwinners right now and gets all credit for it.
I think you does not watched whole Ind vs Aus test series......... A small example is there. Ponting lose his wicket to Ishanth in first test match. View dismissal RT Ponting* c Raina b Sharma Just watch Raina's fielding position. there you can find dhoni's move

^ Also sending Pujara up the order. That was a very good and bold move in the circumstances. It requires lot of guts to do so. This is one aspect about Dhoni's captaincy which we don't pay much heed to,the faith showed on the youngsters. Don't forget he was the one who gave PK the new ball in the CB series final,gave Amit Mishra the ball ahead of Anil Kumble and sending CP is the latest case in point. Agreed that his decisions are baffling at times but when they work they are absolutely magical. Now you call it luck or tactical acumen ,that's your discretion.
