Dhoni pulls out of SL test series

[amits]

after dhoni & dinesh kartik, we have pinal shah & shreevats goswami as wicket-keeping options. also, there is wridhiman saha as well

[Sachinism]

asia cup is the 2nd most important tournament after the wc. dhoni should not have rested in the asia cup at any cost. he alongwith yuvraj should opt for a rest in the sl series

Asia cup was a joke tournament thats what Dhoni should have rested from

Asia cup??? I would think Champions Trophy would be more important just based on the fact that it involves more nations.....

When you remove the redundant teams & BD..Asia cup was a tri-series. I agree. Hell, I would even put CB series above it since it had SL and Aus in Aus .. which is tougher than SL +Pak, on flat pitches. :giggle:. Also, we know that Newton's fourth law states that any ODI series except the world cup worth remembering is the one which has more than a solitary final. :winky:

[Laaloo]

aakash chopra anyone?? P.S cricketics is :bhangra: :D

[punjabi_khota]

I would want Akash Chopra to be given one more chance. He was part and parcel of the greatest Test Series India has been part of in this decade. And probably the second greatest test series after Ashes 05, in this decade

[gs]

I would stick my neck out for Gambhir as a test opener. Akash Chopra probably would be more solid, but Gambhir is in prime form.

[THX_1138]

He should have pulled out of Kitply and Asia cup and rested. And go for the SL test series. Ulta is happening.

the entire team should have pulled out of the kitply cup... an absolute nonsense tournament if you can even call it that.

dhoni has every right to take rest but Im not impressed with Dhoni and SRT resting during international tours and tournaments while they were available for IPL ...

[satishg]

i think he deserves some rest..he has been playing non stop cricket since god knows when..and he is also human and his body cant go on like this..so yea if he wants rest then so be it..we have to be content with either Dinesh Karthik or some other no good keeper..

[theguyinallblue]

actually even sehwag is injured..he has groin injury..and was advised rest by physio...but played... he might not play in the warm up game in SL...

We all know your love for Dhoni...but this is disgusting stuff from him. If he was too tired,why in the first place he didn't opt out of Asia cup? thought it was an easy chance to lift that trophy..so stayed on.

wow dude u have started reading Dhonis mind :D chillax..Asia cup is once in 4 years so that is also an important tournament and being crowned Asian champions is really worth it so he wudnt have missed that for sure..and even if we had won the Asia cup i have a strong feeling that Dhoni wud have done the same thing coz he has been the busiest cricketer in world cricket not jus India and even though he mite have wanted to but his body wudnt have let him take another tournament..

You are better than me,it seems satish.

[satishg]

You are better than me' date='it seems satish.[/quote'] well i gave my judgment with facts my friend..not intuition..busiest cricketer and he has been complaining for sometime that the schedule has been taxing so he opting out was the logical thing..
