Rahane Debuts!

[BeautifulGame]

If u saw those matches u will know how bad bhajji was Including onha was obvious thing to do from start

That's not the point though. Dhoni had every excuse to keep playing Bhajji instead of Ohja considering we won by an innings in 2 nd test. Yet he dropped his supposed business partner and played Ohja. Also if he so biased why is Rahane playing instead of Raina despite selectors picking Raina into the squad? And how many of u seriously criticised Dhoni for picking Dhawan a supposed hack ahead of Rahane for 3rd test?

What about Ishant? He also has a Rhiti connection right?

Well ofcourse...

Dhoni had no excuse like tht Just cos we won does not means we will keep playing losers specially after ojha doing well vs england Ractifying mistake was good but he should not have made it to begin with

If he cares about business why would he rectify it

Wont u kick out inefficent lot even if ur making profit:'(

So if he performs well. Then what about dhawan? They will have to chose between him and rahane. Then there's also sehwag and gambhir.

Dhawan would/should get his spot obvoiusly in the next game. If Rahane performs here, I wonder if it will put pressure on Tendulkar. Tendulkar needs to perform in this match.

Yeah right. Apparently Ojha also has a Rhiti connection that's why he was picked ahead of "business partner" Harbhajan.

Earlier Ojha was dropped for business partner Bhajji and partner Jadeja. If you use Ojha as an example of Dhoni not being biased than you are doing a self goal. What next? Kohli being selected in team shows that Dhoni is not biased.

Yes, he was biased against the left handed bat/right handed bowling combo :hahaha: As retarded as Dhoni's reasoning was, it is still more realistic than the dumber conspiracy theories surrounding these selections.

It is not about cosnpiracy theories. This is about certain distinguishable inclination in decision making. If one 50-50 decision goes in favour of CSK-Rhiti team you can excuse that as going either way without any influence. But when you see all 50-50 decision going in favour of particular group than you have to say that everything is not fair. Your justifications may be valid for first instance but you can't justify 10 instances using same set of justifications. You have to realize that there are shades of gray and multiple layers of gray would turn things in black.

Let's look at 50-50 decisions against conspiracy theory: 1. Ishant still playing in tests despite sucking and no connection 2. Rohit not playing tests despite connection 3. Rahane playing tests despite no connection 4. Harbhajan not playing last 2 tests despite playing first 2 tests cause of connection 5. B. Kumar included in test team with no connection 50-50 for the theory: 1. Vijay included in team - 2 scores of 150+ 2. Jadeja included in team - 2nd highest wicket taker 3. Harby playing ahead of Ojha - did ok, nothing great 4. Raina in test team - not in playing XI

So itz not conne tion just pure incompetence.. Got ya..

[saneindian]

Deserves a long run now irrespective of how he does here.

I am being reasonable here regarding 50-50, meaning decisions which could go either way cause the players haven't (yet) set the stage on fire. Ofc in case of Ishant (and Harby) it is almost 0-100, but that's a different story.

Let's not forget that it is the selectors who pick the team with Captain's input, so if you call it incompetence, feel free to spread the blame.

[Lord]

You forgot to include - Pujara playing test cricket despite not having connection Sahcin in team Manoj Tiwary sometime gets selected in team Dinda in test team Badri not in test team Dhawan preferred over Mukund Srikanth's son is not in team Hilfenhaus not being given a chance to represent India Ankit Rajpoot is not in team I agree with you, there is no bias.
