Time to bump this up.

 

Karthick >>>>>> Dhoni

SR 80 >>>>>>>>>SR 60

37 >>>>>>>>>>>25

 

Karthick was second highest scorer.

 

Like I said head to head matters and Karhick is better.

You are missing the point. With all the money BCCI has they have to develop advanced metrics to get the best players on the field just like baseball does. Do not use stupid test averages to determine who is better. Those are all over the place. It is not about who is right or wrong. It is about Karthick being treated fairly.

This stupidity caused the loss in CT. I am putting the blame on Kohli for that.

Agreed with you averages mean nothing. It's all about strike rate. Hence bhuvi should be promoted at #3 since he has better strike rate than Kohli. Imagine what he would do if he faced 100 balls. I am just happy our God karthik who has great history and brilliant SR in 70 Odis has been treated fairly.

Dhoni is in the side for his stumping skills :) once they find one with good stumping skills they will be able to replace him. Seriously his batting lacks power these days. Wonder if shuffling of batting order will help.

Where did I say that? All I am saying is that test averages are meaningless. IPL numbers are better. Both averages and SR matter.

Others are equally good. Dhoni just puts on a nice show.

Like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Dhoni will just end up sucking momentum throughout the innings. Our best bat is to bat him 7th or 8th and see if he can edge a few boundaries.

Edge a few boundaries? I fell off the chair, that is funny.

[vvvslaxman]

We all know what he can do at his peak. What percentage of his peak he is at right now? Less than 50% i would say.

What lpl numbers are we talking about ? Runs ? Sr ? Average ?

[Khota]

Probably right. I am not saying he is bad but there are others who are better. Like others have pointed out he is only playing for money and pride. Goenka was not stupid.

Just now, Rasgulla said:

Everything but mostly runs. He was the worst wicketkeeper in IPL. He has no place in Indian team.

To be honest he is the opposite of a peak right now....way downhill in a black hole sucking momentum every game

 kohli shouldn't in the team from 08 to 15 if Ipl numbers count.

There is something called a trend and there is something called outliers.

Please backup with some kothe facts so I can fall off the chair.

You probably should have a good idea by now whom you are trying to reason with...why are you still trying???
