JaFanatic Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 :giggle::giggle: if its 250 to 270 .. i would pick sachin :winky: how many times we chased 350 ?? :hmmm: SRT got us so close with his 175 against Australia without a any support from the other end its his wk which changed the course of the match all dhoni did was a role of a spectator both on and off the field :phehehe:
Yoda-esque Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Ganguly instilled self belief in the team. I personally prefer him as Captain over Dhoni in both ODIs and Tests. Raina. Belief is non quantifiable World cups are quantifiable Go figure

JaFanatic Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Fair enough-after all Ganguly has won us zero cups What about that 50 runs in 30 balls scenario? yea dhoni won us a dozen cups with his performance eh ? at least ganguly leads from the front when it comes to dhoni its just the matter of leading a pack of top form players

Sachin=GOD Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 SRT got us so close with his 175 against Australia without a any support from the other end its his wk which changed the course of the match all dhoni did was a role of a spectator both on and off the field :phehehe: then there was that 2011 WC match against SA - Goddy & Viru had a brilliant opening stand and then Gambhir played a good knock. After that the finisher only had to do his job properly and make some quick runs at the end - he remained not out on 12 from 21 balls while the rest of the batting order collapsed :adore:
velu Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 yea dhoni won us a dozen cups with his performance eh ? at least ganguly leads from the front when it comes to dhoni its just the matter of leading a pack of top form players :agree: dada was managing a brittle batting order and msd is handling a world class bowling attack :giggle:
JaFanatic Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Wc final score was 273 wasnt it? we lost cb series by that 1 run loss to australia if you remember correctly yes its 273 and gambhir won us that game now you want to say he is the best ever ?
Yoda-esque Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 yea dhoni won us a dozen cups with his performance eh ? at least ganguly leads from the front when it comes to dhoni its just the matter of leading a pack of top form players Whatever rocks your boat
Laaloo Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 50 runs 30 balls ; 5 wkts down SRT,MSD or Dravid? MSD 350 in 50 overs SRT,MSD or Dravid? SRT Who would you want as WC captain to lead India side? SRT, MSD,Dravid or Ganguly? Everyone knows Sachin is a horrible captain. Don't know why you would include him. Toss up for me. As of now Dhoni, but he made very questionable decisions in the World Cup.
Yoda-esque Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 we lost cb series by that 1 run loss to australia if you remember correctly yes its 273 and gambhir won us that game now you want to say he is the best ever ? No all I an saying is that my money would always be on MSD to win us something
Sachin=GOD Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 Belief is non quantifiable World cups are quantifiable Go figure without belief no team could have won the World Cup. For you the game of cricket begins and ends with statistics thats why you look at trophies, at averages etc and say Dhoni is better cricketer/better captain. I think non quantifiable factors are just as important (if not more) thats why I prefer Ganguly as Captain (for instilling self belief) and Goddy as player (for his sheer impact on the game and on many generations of youngsters) over Dhoni.

JaFanatic Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 if you pick one match to show msd is a failed cricketer , then i think sachin failed more than anyine else .. moderate sachin fans like me can digest this .. but not sure abt die hard fans like you :giggle: ok moderate fan :P sachin played moe than anyone else in a team that was not best known for its fighting spirit :agree: dada was managing a brittle batting order and msd is handling a world class bowling attack :giggle: the batting order was mainly depend on him sachin now we have more world class batter than that ganguly had and he also had the below par bowling attack

Au Contraire, you are obsessed with al those hundreds and fifties.. I am interested in knowing whether we win or lose a cup. Thats the only goal...Everything else is just .....
JaFanatic Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 No all I an saying is that my money would always be on MSD to win us something he mostly capitalised on the starts given by the top order batters like sachin ganguly dravid kohli gambhir sehwag etc anyways its your money :P
Gambit Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 50 runs 30 balls ; 5 wkts down SRT,MSD or Dravid? FYI MSD has never won a match for India where India needed 50 or more runs from the last 5 overs and has 1 innings in a match won where he stayed not out where between 40-50 runs were needed from the last 5.
velu Posted July 9, 2013 Posted July 9, 2013 ok moderate fan :P sachin played moe than anyone else in a team that was not best known for its fighting spirit the batting order was mainly depend on him sachin now we have more world class batter than that ganguly had and he also had the below par bowling attack bold .. dont put ur words in my mouth .. :poink:
