vamos_rafa Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 We had totally mediocre wk's for a long long time before dhoni..... iirc the long list of nonsense keepers included nayan mongia' date= vijay dahiya :facepalm:, sameer dighe , msk prasad :haha:, saba karim, kiran more, etc. So we should consider ourselves extremely blessed to hv such a genuinely world class wk-batsman for the foreseeable future. We should not start worrying about the wk slot just yet. Let's enjoy this era while we can. You missed out on the great ajay Ratra!!! Link to comment

Sidhoni Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Abhi fikr karne ki zarurat nai hai.. He will play at least 6-7 yrs more Link to comment
Sooda Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Pinal Shah. Should have gone to EPT. Decent WK/bat from what I hear and captain Link to comment
ganeshran Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 dhoni will play 7 more years.. patel will be more experienced so he`ll be d best bet.....please dont write me off but i think patel>>>rohit nd pujara, these 2 r **** test batsmen Patel > rohit and Pujara as a batsman :hysterical::hysterical: Link to comment
Number Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Selectors should start giving chances to Uday Kaul. Saha is already 27 , Ojha is 28 so they won't have anything to offer after Dhoni retires. Link to comment

skindia Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 I think after Dhoni, Arjun Tendulkar is Future wicketkeeper Batsman. Link to comment
The Outsider Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 Saha is twice a wicket keeper than Dhoni can ever dream of becoming. Dhoni is a very ordinary test player and it would be trivial to replace him. In ODIs, yeah, it will be next to impossible to find a finisher like him. Link to comment

I don't know what is it that you guys have against MSD's performance in tests overseas. He hasn't been that bad IMO. He was very good in England in 2007,ok in SA in 2006 and did well this time around . His knock in the Durban test 1st innings is something that people just overlook!! He did well in WI in 2006 and also in NZ. Yes, there have been series' where he has failed as well. Australia 2007-08, where he was not particularly out of form but could not score highly and England this time around. Give the guy some breathing space guys. He averages almost 40 so he does know how to play!! The only criticism I have for him in tests is that he doesn't play his natural game at times. He should really look to play the way he knows. Agreed his wicket-keeping is not the best but when you package that with batting and captaincy, then let me assure you, its gonna be very hard to replace him. Link to comment
achilles Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Dhoni just doesn't want to get his gloves off, be it broken fingers or injuries. Guess, somewhere in his mind he is aware of the loophole that would be created for better keepers like Saha, Karthik, Parthiv and Pinal (very young and one for the future). Any of these guys can replace Dhoni, the Wicket-Keeper. But is he even grooming anyone? With Parthiv fielding even when Dhoni's fingers keep getting a beating, the reluctance or should I say, answer, is anybody's guess. Link to comment

Why do you want him to quit that and play only as a batsman. This just does not make sense to me. Maybe this would be helpful when he's injured or when he's woefully out of form but that would give some other, so called better wicket-keepers, to prove their worth. Link to comment
achilles Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Kartik and Parthiv are worse than Dhoni right now as Keeper. Saha is an ordinary batsman and Pinal is an unknown quantity. Without sufficient chances, how will these former keepers get a chance to renew everyone's opinions about them? Wicket keeping is his primary job!!

Maybe this would be helpful when he's injured or when he's woefully out of form but that would give some other' date=' so called better wicket-keepers, to prove their worth.[/quote'] I think Kumar Sangakarra has shown the way. And more than that, in tests, No.6 has always been a dicey place for any replacement. It will help in significantly reducing Dhoni's workload as well. What do you think? Link to comment
Sid Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Some fans question Dhoni's keeping as if he drops catches,misses stumpings and fecks up a run out in every game he keeps for India.For me he is a safe wicket keeper who takes most of the oppurtunities which comes his way and thats what you need from your wicket keeper. Bottom line he is not the best keeper in world but he isnt that bad either. Link to comment
Sooda Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 The issue is Dhoni the test captain, most importantly. There are better keepers maybe and batsmen for sure. Link to comment
The Dark Horse Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 Dinesh karthik can do it, but he isn't doing it, as a keeper and as a batsman. Link to comment
