CG Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 You can't blame general public Dhoni plays to image built by Pr that's why he takes it to end where he wins no matter India wins or loses.Why do you think he batted the way he did against England to get a score.Yesterday Jadeja took all the risk and played a great innings while Dhoni struggled at strike rate of below 60.But Dhoni stayed till end that's why he is hero.

maniac Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) There is this movie called the wrestler. I don’t know how many of you have seen it but it is about a washed up pro-wrestler. The philosophy of the movie is based on a poem about a clown who gets addicted to the audience applause and keeps looking for that one great performance because the audience applause can be a very addictive thing and the rush you get from it is a better high than most drugs or sex apparently. You see a lot of showbiz guys carry well after their prime. Dhoni is similar. He is addicted to that last ball finish and the praise he gets from it. I am not kidding here. He thinks he can manage 40 runs in the last 2 overs that is almost impossible in a IPL game leave alone in an international odi match. He might come through 2 out of 5 times in IPL but it is a 1 in a 100 shot in international games. I think he did it a couple of times and almost did it a few more times that he is addicted to it now. He does it even when it is not required. He gets high on the praise and reputation. I don’t think it is brand building or image. I genuinely think he is addicted to that rush.

zen Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Was a great player for Ind. Needs to do the right thing and hang up his boots. Next WC is 4 years away and he looks misplaced in a T20 setup where you want to see youngsters anyways Kapil Dev kept prolonging his career as well until he heard “Kapil hai hai” (similar to the popular Shastri hai hai at that time) and retired immediately midwy through the odi series vs WI. Need to be proactive! GoldenSun 1 Link to comment

If they come to know how I actually feel about thala , they will most probably break all my bones. I had called people for dinner and they started talking about dhoni's greatness. When I differedwith them they were shocked. I had to stop my beetle mode because I was the host. B@$**%$ praised dhoni in my house and ate my food ! He has too much power and his pr is brilliant .He is like Putin....if you talk against him in publc...you have had it. He also has the best photoshoppers and meme makers in his team. That spitting blood meme was something. Most people would be in icu spitting that much red stuff. Edited July 12, 2019 by beetle Laaloo, diga, Jimmy Cliff and 6 others 1 8 Link to comment

Mosher Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Edulji to Dhoni: 'Don't retire, mentor youngsters' As India exited the World Cup after an 18-run loss to New Zealand in the semi-final, the focus quickly shifted to MS Dhoni and his immediate future. Virat Kohli, the India captain, emphatically said "no" when asked if Dhoni had conveyed any decision about his retirement, effectively putting a lid on the debate for the moment. There's been speculation over Dhoni's future right through the World Cup. His manager - Arun Pandey, a former first-class cricketer himself - stirred the pot further when he said Dhoni's decision to use different bats during the tournament was his way of thanking all the bat manufacturers over the years. Now, Diana Edulji, the former India women's captain and part of the three-member Committee of Administrators running the BCCI, has said that she wants Dhoni to stick around and mentor youngsters. "That (retirement) is his personal decision," Edulji told PTI. "Only he can take that decision and it is his body which has to answer him. I still feel that he has a lot of cricket left in him. The youngsters in the team still need his mentorship." beetle, express bowling, Norman and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment

shami_123 Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Who is Dhoni to decide when to retire ? Steve Waugh, Ponting were forced to retire. The onus of selection should be based purely on performance and in the hands of selectors and they should not select players based on their status in society. diehardpacer, Stan AF and express bowling 3 Link to comment
