Desi Cartman Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Keep the same team and hope that Mr Dhoni has had enough rest and has done enough advertisements so that he can replace the keeper. Obviously our players need to work hard to prepare and they should try to play as many domestic games as possible. To me, if Indians play decent cricket then all they need is "helpful pitches ". BCCI needs to learn something from the Lankan pitches and prepare the wickets that suit our bowlers.
Rohan495 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 1. Gambhir 2. Sehwag 3. Laxman 4. Tendulkar 5. Dravid 6. Sharma 7. Dhoni 8. Kumble 9. Harbhajan 10. Zaheer 11. Ishant
bharat297 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Gambhir captain? Makes more sense to have Dhoni as captain. Besides, Kumble performed well last summer against Australia ... the Aussies have trouble with him. He has 600+ wickets ... you would be an idiot to drop Kumble, after just one bad series.
bharat297 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Also ... Sehwag, Gambhir, Sachin , etc should not be captain because they are playing in the ODI side and being captained by Dhoni there, so it would be weird if all of a sudden in Tests they became captain and Dhoni was captained by them. If you are silly enough to drop Kumble (which itself is such a joke) ... then the only 2 options for captaincy are Laxman or Dhoni
Shane Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Sehwag Ghambhir Dravid Sachin Laxman Ganguly - Captain Hilarious :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: Dhoni Kumble Harbhajan Zaheer Sharma Which year are u living in? 2002-03, Dalmiya is no more in the BCCI :hysterical::hysterical:
bharat297 Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Tactically, Ganguly was the best captain we have had. He could use his bowlers well, unfortunately he didnt have guys like Ishant, RP and Praveen Kumar at his disposal and had to rely on guys like Asish Nehra and Ajit Agarkar (incidently, Agarkar's best years were under Ganguly's captaincy) ... but yea its a joke making him captain now.
King Tendulkar Posted August 12, 2008 Author Posted August 12, 2008 Gambhir captain...:haha: What are the options? If Kumble stands down then whom? Only other contender is Sehwag! But I dont want captaincy to effect his batting and not sure his laid back style would suit. And as for Dhoni being skipper of the test side dont get me started
King Tendulkar Posted August 12, 2008 Author Posted August 12, 2008 :haha: How can you tell anyone 'to retire'? Either they retire on their own or you drop 'em.. :D Read between my lines. Thats what I mean give them option to retire with dignity, if they dont then axe them. However, I feel that tactically they Dada for one will announce he is retiring after oz series to allow a farewell series
Shane Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 He might have had been the most Tactful and Aggressive of our captains, but i think he had players in the teams who were in their prime, Rahul - Our Mr. Reliable, Kumble - Would finish them at will, VVS, Bhaj, so i would also say that he might have been our most successful captain, but it was not all his might. P.S.No Sachin here coz i think he still is in his prime, one innings and he will be back

Desi Cartman Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Why not Dhoni' date=' come lets get it started !!! :--D[/quote'] MSD will get the captaincy and that will mean the end of RD , SG and even VVS :hatsoff:

Be realistic.

Chaos Posted August 12, 2008 Posted August 12, 2008 Is that what this is about? You got your little nutsack twisted because we were ranked at number two for a whole few weeks when I was talking about a period of years if not decades? You're acting like a jilted ex girl friend starved for attention. How lame of you. not good for u take on dsr, who is a veteran with 4k+ runs and number of wickets, catches, drop catches, run outs and missed run outs. He is EXPERIENCED and yoiu are like baby mendis
King Tendulkar Posted August 12, 2008 Author Posted August 12, 2008 Dhoni will be the captain. Be realistic. I know he will be captain! Only sehwag can challenge him. My points were not who the selectors would pick but whom I wanted in the team and whom I would go for as skipper. I doubt selectors will axe any of the vets. I feel dada and Kumble may annonuce its their last series and selectors will not deny them their farewell games. But if they decide to carry on will the selectors eventually drop them? They cant surely carry on to england series can they?

P.S.No Sachin here coz i think he still is in his prime, one innings and he will be back wow wat a retard none of these players were in their prime. dravid was in distastrous form b4 the 180 at kolkota but ganguly still backed him till he came good laxmans place in the side was not certain but ganguly backed him and he came good in kolkata bhajji was selected on gangulys backing and he took 32 wickets in the series vs aus sehwag was made an opener in tests inder gangulys captaincy and as far as captaincy, care to answer ur "GOD's" glorious captaincy record:hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
