rkt.india Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 No dissension, no communication gap in dressing room: Dhoni SYDNEY: Indian skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni on Saturday asserted that there was neither any dissension nor any communication gap in the dressing room but conceded that such reports at times create a brief awkwardness among the players. "If you listen to the press conference on tape, you would get the answer yourself as to what actually I said and what I meant," said Dhoni on the eve of the India-Australia tri-series match. "You can't particularly see the same question, it might be a build up to the first question and often what we don't answer, because of the first part of the question we answer, it actually is the answer to the second or third question," added Dhoni in his typical long-winding manner. Dhoni, while denying the reports of rift between Sehwag and him and asserting that the dressing room atmosphere was perfect, admitted it still caused uneasiness between the players. "You feel a little awkward initially. You may sometimes think the person is actually believing (what's been reported). And the second person thinks may be he said it. But once you go through the talks, it gets back to as it was. "It doesn't even by 10 per cent affect our performance or has any effect in the dressing room," insisted the captain. The 30-year-old Dhoni defended Sehwag's assertion that he didn't need to clarify with his skipper on the comments that the seniors were slow in the field. "He's right, why should he have a chat? If there's nothing why we need to have a chat. When we don't have a problem, why we need to solve it? There's nothing negative in it. He is a senior player. We don't need to clarify. We all have belief in each other as to what was said and what happened. It's not the first time it has happened. "The best thing is to get the most out of it. And what's the most important is to have fun," said Dhoni. Dhoni said the atmosphere has always been very good in the dressing room. "It's always been there. It's not this series or the previous one. It's been perfect. It's talk of the dressing room, we try and take positive out of it." During the 2009 Champions Trophy in England, Dhoni decided to quash the word on dissension within the team, parading all the 15 players in front of the media. But he did not see a reason to do the same in the present situation. "(I haven't done it) because it was not projected in a nice way. There were 15 players and if A is fighting B, both are now standing on the table (in front of media), both of us could be asked why it's so. "It was not projected in the right way so (I said) maybe leave it. What's the point in fuelling something which is not there," said Dhoni. On Sunday's match against Australia, Dhoni dropped a hint the rotation policy would be dispensed at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). "We are not looking to rotate. It's injuries which are now rotating the players. It's not in our control. I had said we would rotate in the first half of the tournament because then you could rotate, it didn't put pressure on us because we were in early part of the tournament. "But now it's do-or-die match. The best eleven players should play unless and until injury is an issue," said Dhoni. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournaments/india-in-australia/top-stories/We-had-laugh-in-the-dressing-room-over-the-talks-of-rift-Dhoni/articleshow/12029254.cms

rkt.india Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 Not only do these twats make up imaginary statements from imaginary sources' date=' they also make up imaginary tournaments.[/quote'] :cantstop: good point...
achilles Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Well pointed, fbm. I'm sure some people in PTI are going to have a "laugh" in their editing room over the talks of a typo.
Mariyam Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Not only do these twats make up imaginary statements from imaginary sources' date=' they also make up imaginary tournaments.[/quote'] :cantstop: But this is what happens when a country (UK) passes an un fair ruling on super injunctions vis a vis celebrities. The media has a chance to make up stuff, because whatever they say , they cannot explicitly name a celeb. In that way their diatribes aren't necessarily directed against a single person, but a person who may resemble that person. Caricature character assassination. :D I've already studied the phenomenon in great detail here. :hatsoff:
J P K Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 How Viru has won the battle. Read his prior statements. He had always we will be looking to rotate players in the first half of the tournament which they did t hat just to keep key players injury free. Has Dumb Dumb has hacked your ID? then why did he make this statement ? we cannot play all three seniors at the same time as they are slow and youngsters can save 20 runs if he had not made this statement we would have never had a fight which statement should i take seriously :hitler:
achilles Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Lets just say we have seen Dhoni's limit of taking pressure from the seniors and the board. Nothing wrong with him, but I would've liked him to have been a bit more straight-forward like his Australian counterpart.
rkt.india Posted February 25, 2012 Author Posted February 25, 2012 then why did he make this statement ? we cannot play all three seniors at the same time as they are slow and youngsters can save 20 runs if he had not made this statement we would have never had a fight which statement should i take seriously :hitler: It was for early part of the tournament as the tournament was long and he wanted to give youngsters chance and keep seniors fit. You can see Sehwag was already injured mid series. He also wanted to see if any youngster can perform better so that he can have more options. He does not want a situation where a senior gets before final and we see a youngster playing his first match of the series. The statement he had given is a well known fact and everyone knows it. You did not read his whole point about seniors and slow fielding. He had said as seniors are not that quick and agile they can get injured easily while putting an extra effort in the field that is what he did not want. You can take these statements any which way you can take, but the thing is he is also looking at future and transition of the team. It does not matter what he says and do until team wins Because People and media criticized him both ways. When he did not play all 3 seniors he was criticized and when he played, even then he was criticized. this is a two blade sword he is sitting on right now.
Deleted_User_1 Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 viru wins the battle over MS :clap: all seniors will play then Yaay! Midget will play and choke again..............
achilles Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Yaay! Midget will play and choke again.............. And maybe he will get his 100wa shatak and "shut his critics up" after 2 series of straight failures. How amazing :woot:
Number Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Hope Dhoni drops Jaddu and gives Tiwary/ Rohit a chance.
Stuge Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 its time for them to rotate themselves back to India ;)
Crookbond Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 Hope Dhoni drops Jaddu and gives Tiwary/ Rohit a chance. It seems to be unlikely. He doesn't want to drop Jadeja's bowling option. Both Irfan and Jadeja will play. I hope you're not serious on giving Rohit Sharma a "chance". He's played dumb all through the series. It's time for him to put his big boy pants on and start behaving like a matured individual rather than a baby. P
skindia Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 so statements were given to divert attention from poor performance..
