Number Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 No. You said that Dhoni got good team so we were no.1. But Ganguly had better team with a careful Sehwag' date=' inform Dravid, Sachin, Laxman, Kumble . So why we never got the result ?[/quote'] But we were never so bad under him. Here we are playing like a team which doesn't even deserve Test Status. We may not have achieved no. 1 under him as Aus were too strong that time but overall we were very competitive side. He left team in a much better position from where he took over. In case of Dhoni it's opposite. PS : I think we are diverting from the topic.
JourneyMan Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 This guy has lost it IMO. He seems to be someone who would sulk when he would lose and be OTT when he wins. Sounds like his team owner
Sehwag1830 Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 But we were never so bad under him. Here we are playing like a team which doesn't even deserve Test Status.

In case of Dhoni it's opposite. PS : I think we are diverting from the topic. So how is Tendulkar, Sehwag, Laxman, Gambhir not scoring Dhoni's fault ? We rarely struggled to cross 300 in tests overseas earlier . I think both Dhoni as captain, Sehwag- Gambhir as opener should be given final ultimatum that if we don't win all the 3 home series comfortably all 3 should be asked to quit from test team.
suraj Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 This is all masala drama for IPL; nothing is wrong between the players in the India team. Trust me they will all come together and stand united in their failures abroad
yoda Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 This is all masala drama for IPL; nothing is wrong between the players in the India team. Trust me they will all come together and stand united in their failures abroad Well, from what we have read and heard, there seems to be a lot wrong between some of the players in the India team.
BERGKAMP Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 so basically it is - team dhoni - -kohli -raina -vkumar -pkumar -ashwin -jaddu vs team sehwag -gauti neutrals tendu laxman rohit yuvi ishant
AbhishekS Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 As far as I know Tendulkar indirectly supported Sehwag and Gambhir, and in a press conference in Mumbai after scoring his 100th ton in Asia Cup had lashed out at Dhoni's tactics.

Lol. Time to boot the grandpa of the team. Has been in horrible form the last year. Should go back and prove in ranji. Noone has guts to tell him.

BERGKAMP Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 what we need is a strong coach or manager who will tell these diva prima donnas to pack in their stupid little ego feuds, and remember they are playing for the country and to be professional enough to always give their best on the field. if they can't do this no matter their name or reputation they should be booted out of the team. motu fletcher is too busy eating donuts and samosas to do it, bcci need to get in a man who will take no sh*t from anyone and will only do what is best for the team.

Grandpa says he loves the game and does not want to retire. So ask him to justify a spot in the team.
vamos_rafa Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 The Sehwag-Dhoni rift: Real, imagined or both? In the summer of 2009, India – defending champions and all that jazz — were in England for the T20 World Cup. A half-fit Virender Sehwag was there too and so was a much younger, less battle-scarred Mahendra Singh Dhoni as skipper. Sehwag had picked up a shoulder injury during the second edition of the Indian Premier League in South Africa and aggravated it soon after the team’s arrival in England. The injury forced Dhoni to gamble with Rohit Sharma at the top of the order, along with the other regular opener, Gautam Gambhir, in the two warm-up matches against New Zealand and Pakistan before the tournament. But even though Sehwag missed practice sessions due to the injury, he remained in the news because of constant media reports about a rift that was developing between the captain and the right-hander. Dhoni’s comments on Sehwag’s injuries had been cryptic: “May be you should ask his physio to issue a press release.” The BCCI hasn’t stepped in to soothe matters either. They didn’t issue a press release about Sehwag’s situation and the whole controversy went into overdrive. But when things went overboard, Dhoni took a pretty drastic step. Just before the first match of the tournament against Bangladesh, the India skipper presented himself with his entire team before the media, strongly denied the rumours and read out a statement that stressed on the unity among the team members. He even tossed a stack of printed copies of his statement at the reporters and said, ‘Here, otherwise you’ll misquote me on this as well [Nahin toh tum log isko bhi ulta likhonge].’ File picture of India's captain Dhoni kicking a soccer ball past Virender Sehwag. Reuters Two games into the tournament, Sehwag announced that he will need surgery on the shoulder and he will be returning to India. A few games later, India crashed out of the World T20. And that was the beginning of an uneasy relationship. It’s faintly curious that in September that same year, Sehwag had renounced captaincy ambitions “to concentrate on his batting” and even promoted the cause of his Delhi mate Gautam Gambhir as the logical captain-in-waiting. Things seemed to smooth over after that mainly because India kept winning. And problems usually never surface around that time. But even at the open media house just before the 2011 World Cup, the cracks were present and visible. Dhoni was sitting with the media, having some fun, throwing a few questions at Yuvraj Singh and Virender Sehwag. It was a calm atmosphere. When someone asked Sehwag a question about how he finds Dhoni as captain. His reply was curt: “We are his seniors. He doesn’t need to tell us what to do. We know what we have to do.” The smile on Dhoni’s face froze. He was trying very hard to keep it in place. It was then dismissed as Sehwag speaking his mind. But the uneasiness was apparent. It was almost an ‘I’ll stay out of your way, if you’ll stay out of mine’ attitude. Then once again, India won. The problems ceased to exist – or so we thought. Come the Australia tour, reports of a rift resurfaced. India had been losing Test after Test, Dhoni’s captaincy was being questioned in all quarters… the feeling was something had to give. It started off with the ‘rotation’ policy for the ODIs. A tactic aimed at giving the juniors a go and resting the seniors. “We want to give break to the top three batsmen, either Gautam (Gambhir) or Tendulkar will take a break and may be I can play,” Sehwag had said. And Dhoni, in the press conference after the loss, explained that the policy may have more to do with the fielding prowess of Gambhir, Sehwag and Tendulkar. “It might happen (they playing together, but) it would affect our fielding in a big way, it’s not only these three, there are quite a few other players who are also slow on the field. If you really add it up, you would have only two or three good fielders. “They are safe fielders on the slower side. The pressure would be on them. They would have to throw from positions where there would be pressure on them. There would be breakdowns. It’s not like India where the ball goes to a boundary and you just throw it back. Here, you can pull muscle or a hamstring.” So what started off as a rotation policy is now actually a way to keep one of the three out of the team… the Sehwag-Dhoni rift, whether real or imagined, is hurting the team. When John Wright was coach of India, he would often say that what goes on in the changing-room should stay in the changing-room. “Sometimes as soon as things come into the public area they can take on a momentum all of their own,” he said. And that’s what is happening right now. It’s important for Dhoni and Duncan Fletcher, who continues to remain a mute spectator, to arrest this momentum as soon as they can. If that means parading the entire team in media as a show of unity then so be it. The Indian team doesn’t need a drama that never ends, it needs quick thinking and direction — not contradictory statements. They are all still good players; still giving it their best shot every time they step on to the field but they all need to pull in the same direction or they aren’t going to get anywhere soon. Dhoni can’t allows things to drift; he can’t even look at slowing down the game as he often does. India have reached the tipping point. Another push and they might all fall down. Do Dhoni or Sehwag want that? Because even in a fight, one’s guessing, someone has to win. But if India loses, then the both of them lose too. All is certainly not well b/w the 2.
Raghav_12 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 Sorry i would prefer Dhoni over Sehwag, Gambhir, Harbhajan anyday. India achieved NO.1 TEST rankings, World T20, ODI WC, ODI ranking no.1 all under captaincy of Dhoni in 5 years. No Indian captain has achieved that much. No Indian captain ever achieved 8-0 also :dontknow:
Raghav_12 Posted May 29, 2012 Posted May 29, 2012 He questioned tactics after single handedly losing the Asia cup chasing his personal record? Lol. Time to boot the grandpa of the team. Has been in horrible form the last year. Should go back and prove in ranji. Noone has guts to tell him. :hysterical::hysterical: First let Ranji trophy prove that it deserves a player like Sachin playing.
