A thread about comaring perofrmances of players heads to your daily dose of Dhoni bashing. :facepalm:

no one is bashing him..its just truth why are not more people discussing abt such shameless corruption? :omg:

There's a separate thread for discussing the corruption.

true..i just thought its relevant to answer why he survived 8-0.. i defend dhoni where he deserves but this is too much for me :P

[vandokkum]

Wasn't he dropped after the test against England? Couldn't pick up wickets on a turner against the Poms :haha:

This is not about defending.Criticise him as much as you want, wo koi meri mausi ka ladka to hai nahi. Just that this thread could have done without iit.

Just that this thread could have done without iit.[/quote'] arre there were 2 posts..and tht guy did not know abt it so i summarized it a bit ..no big deal imo we were talking abt performance and captaincy does matter and if captain is corrupt then it can be 1 reason for bad performance no ? so its not really entirely of topic :cantstop:

we (asians) needs to make pitches like aus' date='eng,sa in our domestic, if cant then send our domestic teams to play in aus,eng,sa more, thn our national teams :icflove:[/quote'] changing the pitches would be the 1st thing, they don't have to be full of grass (becoz that's just a cop out by likes SA and Eng) but should provide enough to encourage pacers to bowl fast and make the batsmen work on their technique. my preference would be for all pitches to be like Wankhede, where there is good bounce and carry, and good bounce and turn for spinners, it is ideal pitchl to produce an all-round batsman.

It has good bounce and carry by Indian standards. Its nowhere comparable to pitches in SA or England. Batsmen who have played only in Mumbai will be all at sea in SA and England. Even great batsmen from India like Sachin, Dravid struggled early on when they traveled overseas because of lack of exposure to these conditions. Young cricketers like Kohli, Pujara, Rohit will most probably also struggle when we play there. Only alternative is to prepare wickets like Wanderers, Perth at home and practice a lot or play in county cricket. I dont see either happening right now, so brace yourself for more whitewashes overseas.
