Dhoni hanging onto T20s contributing nothing. He just like old greats isn't ready to retire from ODIs even if he is already way past it. His fan says he will leave on his own deal with it. These are the same hypocrites who sing songs of greatness of Dhoni for putting team ahead individuals by throwing out oldie greats. Laaloo, King Tendulkar and SecondSlip 3 Link to comment
Laaloo Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 1 hour ago, Straight Drive said: Virat has defended (actually given strong support) in Dhoni selection. Yes, some facts by Prasad are true. Dhoni now is best keeper now for stumpings and the other keepers in contention are not up to the mark. The other keepers are too bad for international level. I have seen them keep, they are pathetic and none of them are up to the mark.Just because someone is young does not means he is better keeper than Dhoni. The problem though is the assurance that Dhoni has been given. Does it means however bad form he will get into, he will still be a automatic pick as a wk batsman? It is a baffling statement. The players should not be selected if they are in prolonged bad form, at least for the WC as we will have to wait for another 4 years to win it. So the best and in form must play. It's not Ind SL series which can play soon and win few months down the line. Bhaisaab can you let us know the names of these pathetic wk and where did you watch them? IPL? Domestics? Apart from stumpings, there is absolutely nothing that separates other wk from Dhoni. Link to comment

Moreover their poor form was over stated by media. SRT was ok in that test series and Viru/Gambo had a couple of years left in their tanks. Those 3 were used as scapegoats by that cunning Dhoni to hide the dismal overall show by Team India across all formats overseas. Link to comment
Gollum Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Present (post 2015 WC) Dhoni in ODIs is worse than what Viru-SRT-Gambo were in 2012. In T20s he has been a liablilty from day one. But his hypocrite chamchas extol his selflessness and virtue, if he were really selfless he would have stepped down from T20s in 2012 max and from ODIs after the 2015 WC. But for him Team India comes last, this mug is using Team India to increase his brand value. He is as bad as Azharuddin. Link to comment

And also used a full movie to replay that scene and further insult players 10x better than he ever has been. All those 3 were rubbish by that time. Dhoni fairly targeted them keeping in mind the future. Actually Dhoni had to target Sehwag and Gambo because he couldn't openly throw out Sachin so he turned it into a group issue. Now there is no one to fairly target Dhoni. Instead Kohli and Rohit are fawning over him. Everyone from Sachin, Sehwag, Gambo, Yuvi had to be begged, pleaded and coaxed to leave. Yuvi and Gambo still not retired. Lol. Even Laxman was no saint. Was telling the team he would retire after Aus series but shamelessly got ready for the NZ home series.

But yes, we can say it was graceful of him to retire that way. Ankit_sharma03 1 Link to comment

However, giving him a free reign till the world cup suggests clearly that either the selectors are plain foolish or they have an agenda. Not just Dhoni, noones place is secure.

adi B Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Even if he goes out of form and avg drops under 30 with some match losing innings ?? How can anyone be so sure about the selection of an aged player 2 years from now ? Link to comment
