Lets see how great a captain Dhoni is!

[King Tendulkar]

Now lets see how great a player and captain this bloke Dhoni really is! No Sehwag and no Sachin. A bunch of rookies. He wants the old pros out so he can dominate. Well here is your chance now Dhoni, shows us your stuff! He should at least be fresh and raring to go after his REST!

[umpire]

this is testing time for Dhoni. Lets see how he bounces back.

[kumble_rocks]

I always felt that Dhoni was an average player of spin bowling. This series will put all doubts to rest !

[Kartikey]

Yup...lets see how him and Rohit Sharma fare. The least he could do is give Badrinath a game.

[jf1gp_1]

We had a similiar start in Aus, were hammered in T20 game then lost first few ODIs but we did bounce back. Give Dhoni time and he will find a way to turn around things.

[Texy]

ex bihari's IQ is 83.....you can't expect much from him captaincy wise... and his batting is all about gilli danda cricket

Give Dhoni time and he will find a way to turn around things.[/quote'] Hmm..lets give him 2 more ODIs. India has to win at least one of the next two ODIs. Otherwise, I will begin to loose all respect for MSD.:nervous:

[DomainK]

How things change with a few matches. Now his batting becomes gilli danda cricket.

[satishg]

lol at this thread..yes these are tuf times but wat can he do wen the entire batting order fails againt Mendis..its not because of his captaincy that v are losing the match..unless and until Indian batting clicks against Mendis ,Dhoni wont be able to do anything..its not a one man game u know..DSR leave him alone..

[fineleg]

India has to win atleast 2 out of these 5 ODIs. If we can't even win 2, then its real bad, lets see if MSD can pull a minimum of 2 wins.

[umpire]

lets be real. No Indian captain has ever found Lanka in Lanka to be easy proposition. We have been mauled agian and again even without Mendis.

[jf1gp_1]

Hmm..lets give him 2 more ODIs. India has to win at least one of the next two ODIs. Otherwise' date= I will begin to loose all respect for MSD.:nervous:

did you lose respect for Sachin when he refused to lead Indian side not once but twice ?

[Kumar]

:two_thumbs_up:dhoni needs to be more agressive, as no sachin or sehwag, and that yuvi is usless againt spin tbh. We need the old dhoni back to an extent. put him to three.

[bharat297]

did you lose respect for Sachin when he refused to lead Indian side not once but twice ?

Given Sachin's record as captain, do u really blame him for not accepting the job?

[Ram]

Lol, t'was only a matter of time before one of the countless Dhoni haters on this board resorted to their usual 'I-will-blame-Dhoni-for-anything-thats-wrong-with-Indian-cricket'. Top on the list of the 'most senseless Dhoni criticism' has to be Dsr's bashing of Dhoni, when Karthik was dropping all those catches.. :haha:

[cowboysfan]

I am sorry I read this thread-I think my brian cells scrambled after reading it,i might have lost some IQ points too.

uncalled for

Its ridiculous When India win, the team did a great job when India lose, it's all dhoni's fault how can Dhoni be blamed for the team not being able to score 150

[Willow_on_fire]

Dhoni did look worried while speaking about the loss...a very uncommom sight....unlike his calm & cool appearence...hopefully he comes really good at damnbulla....:two_thumbs_up:
