zubinpepsi Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 and i came across this comment in rediff... wonder how stupid some ppl r.. Here come politician indian mind again by SSYK Y on Aug 18, 2007 12:03 AM | Hide replies So now the selectors wants to axe Dravid and end his career. Why not Ganguly, Tendulkar and the stupid Agarkar. Just becoz they have regional fanatics. The thing best about Dravid was that he is focussed on the game, a true professional. Unlike Ganguly, Tendulkar whose performance has retarded with the age, Dravid is consistent all throughout his career and he was a guiding factor for India. The mistake which Dravid made by not imposing follow-on was also done by Tendulkar,Gangul Link to comment
Dravid Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 LMAO @ that quote:haha: idiotsss Link to comment
Holysmoke Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Yuvraj (shouting) -> whats he got that I aint got! Dhobi-> quietly reveals his VIP Frenchie :finger: Link to comment
Ram Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 I am shocked myself that Dhoni has been preferred over Yuvraj , especially since Yuvraj was Vice-captain for some time. Wonder what happened in the middle.. Link to comment
theguyinallblue Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Yuvi has been disciplined as is sreesanth...saala vengy... Link to comment
King Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Yuvraj has been with the team since 1999-00 and Dhoni since 2005. Dhoni gets the captaincy and Yuvraj pretty much nothing. Don't know what they see when choosing a captain. BTW Dhoni may even try his hand at bowling in this game it is being said. Link to comment

I thought UV wud b the Captain.I don't care whoever is the skipper , I want our boys to perform :two_thumbs_up: Link to comment
abhinav Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 The reason Yuvi got overlooked is primarily discipliary. His attitude seems to irk quite a few people. i still believe that Yuvi is a future captain but he needs to reign himself in off the field. WRT the game, the big choice could be between Rohit Sharma and Gambhir. Gambhir has the advantage of having been in England for a long time now..it could be a toss up between the two for the first ODI.. Link to comment

caught & bowled Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Hi folks...my first post here. The reason for Yuvraj not being considered are, I think, outside of the field of play as Zubin has said. Anyway, after Munaf, Khan etc. being walloped black and blue, Powar and Chawla seem to have got us back in the game with England 155/5 in some 26 overs, means India are back in the game Link to comment
SightForTheGods Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 Dhoni is a top class ODI player compared to Yuvraj...Maybe Yuvraj could be a better captain then Dhoni. But easy way to choose is Dhoni's avg > Yuvraj. Btw ya that quote cracked me up as well haha Link to comment
beetle Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Yuvi hasn't done what he promised for far too many years.Besides his off field attitude hasn't helped him. I really hope Dhoni does well..... If he doesn't...then Kartick should be given a chance. Link to comment
beetle Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 Welcome Caught and bowled....!:regular_smile: Link to comment
Chandan Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 .Maybe Yuvraj could be a better captain then Dhoni. But easy way to choose is Dhoni's avg > Yuvraj. Neither Yuvi nor Dhoni have led their state sides or have captained at any level. So we do not know about their leadership ability. On the other hand Karthik had led his state team to victory in the T20 this year. In the long run, if Karthik cements in place in both sides, I think he'll be a better candidate to lead Team India!

monkeyfood Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 I guess dhoni is the captain because his performance in the past odis were amazing Link to comment
