Will Dhoni Captain well in Africa

[vishalvirsingh]

Dhoni is a Good captain for Spinners- he sets the best Fields, likes keeping against spinners...-he talks to spinners Regularly when he plays but does he lay a trap when his fast Bowlers bowl..... Shammi has got most of his victims bowled , BK Was a super hit when conditions helped him n swinging Conditions were there- Dhoni has not handled Ishant, Umesh , VK and even Unadkat Well. I am not sure what mistakes he does but I think His success with Spinners is so high that he can make an average Spinner lOok deadly....I will not be surprised if he ends up playing Jadeja and ashwin both with 3 pacers. I think kohli captained the Pacers well Mohit sharma, Shammi And Unadkat bowled well under him.

All Pacers were murdered under Dhoni by australians except Shammi As Shammi is in the form of his Life now- I saw hime bowling Live in wankhade. I seriously DOUBT the captaincy Skills of Dhoni as far As handling fast bowlers, setting fields for them and Planning

All pacers were castrated under Bailey as well.

talking of Dhonii.... When God showed Dhoni the true path

India required another 5 runs from 11 balls to be crowned world champions. Dhoni took strike as Nuwan Kulasekara, with the look of a deer caught in the headlights, began his run up. A nation held its breath. Would Dhoni finish it off in style? “We want sixer, we want sixer,” the crazed crowd in the Wankhede began to chant. “Could this be it?” Shastri’s all too familiar and strangely reassuring voice wafted through the drawing rooms of millions of households It was a fullish delivery and Dhoni picked up its line and length early, getting into perfect position to smite it over long-off. He was one swing away from etching his team’s name in the pantheon of greatness. Heady adulation would follow; endorsements running into crores would be his for the taking; a grateful people would bend over backwards to fete him for decades. Nothing succeeds like success, and he was determined to taste it. Dhoni pushed out these distracting thoughts to pick up the ball and caught Kulasekara’s eyes, disappointment and fear writ large in them. And then he began to hesitate, his vice like grip over his 3 pound bat, which he wielded like a medieval warrior scything his enemies with a sword, began to loosen; his legs began to shiver and his mind began to waver. The noise suddenly began to dissipate, the throng in the stadium reducing itself to specks against a deep dark background; “Is this all worth it?” his inner voice assailed him. “You tonk this ball, the crowds cheer lustily, their atavistic passions quenched. And what after that?” his inner voice mocked and Dhoni blinked. Everything now appeared still, frozen in time in that transcendental moment of contemplation. And then he saw a similar visage, resplendent in His cosmic glory, against the ink black sky of that early spring night. “Hae player of the Helicopter shot, why this hesitancy? Why are you gripped by the icy cold hands of weakness?” Sachin asked, appearing in front of him. “Such despair does not befit you. Go through with your shot, Do you duty.” “Hae God of cricket,” MSD said, voice now quaking. “My will has deserted me, plagued as I am by self-doubt. What is the meaning of all this? Why is winning so important? If I win, some one loses. Is this even worth it? Look at that poor Kulasekara there. I have bludgeoned his bowling mercilessly and now he in his follow through he beseeches me to deliver the coup de grace swiftly and put him out of his mercy. I ..I cannot do this, hae Master.” “You are but an instrument in His hands, hae Mahendra. It is not for you to contemplate outcomes but just do your duty. And your duty right now is to smash this ball out of the stadium. For to do your duty dispassionately without caring about the consequences is to realize the supreme truth.” “You depress me even more, O Sachin. If I stop caring about results, statistics then where will be the will to excel, the desire to compete? Please guide me on this, hae Master.” “There are 4 types of cricketers, O Murari of slog overs: those who play the game for the love of it, those who play it for the love of statistics and records, and then those who play it to win and cavort with the accompanying impostors, transient fame and material gain. But only those who play it with a sense of even mindedness, knowing that it is merely another path to salvation, it is these karmayogis who achieve true enlightenment.” “Hae bhagwaan, you yourself were an exemplar of the first three types, weren’t you? Going after that silly 100th 100, playing the game simply because you loved it, breaking down if India lost…” Dhoni asked, inducing a smirk from the divine one.” “I have to set the example, the benchmarks for mere mortals to follow, he finisher of games. For if I don’t, then mankind will sink into indolence, enterprise will cease to a grinding halt, and civilization itself will begin to wilt.” “Is what they say about you true, hae Sachin? That you are the supreme godhead?” Dhoni asked, the colour returning to his face. “Indeed, hae skipper of CSK. I am indivisible and eternal. I am omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent. I am timeless. I am without an ending, I am without a beginning,” the God of cricket said and revealed his true form to the trembling Indian skipper. All doubts began to melt away in Dhoni’s mind. “I see the truth now, hae Sachin. Pleasure and pain, victory and defeat, honour and dishonour, these are but the twin impostors to be kept at an arm’s length. It is for me to act and do what I have to do. I am grateful to you, hae Sachin, for showing me the true path,” Dhoni said, the strength returning to his voice. Sachin’s astral visage began to fade away and the deafening noise returned. The ball now appeared more clearly against a backdrop of humanity, hurtling towards him. Dhoni strengthened his grip, his forearms straining, as he swung his bat murderously to deliver a stunning impulse to the white object. “AND THAT’S GONE LIKE A TRACER BULLET,” Shastri’s voice boomed. “Ladies and Gentleman, India are the World Cup Champions.” Watching the ball fly out the stadium, Dhoni murmured, “I have done my duty, hae God of cricket, as you advised,” twirling his bat in the follow-through.

murari of slog overs

I feel he has slightly mismanaged Bhuvan in all formats. Lack of trust may be. Whatever reason he was not used properly.

I think its become a fad to criticize Dhoni; i don't know cricket enough to judge a guy who it leading ODI champs and no 2 test side but i trust him to know what he is doing

Indian Batters are like Tigers on INDIAN Home Grounds which do not support fast bowlers- till johnson was bowling indian batters found runs but thru edges- other australian pace bowlers were below Par this time...i did not expect much of aussie batsman, but they also pounced like lions on indian trundlers as only trundlers played for india except for Shammi. Shammi got thru 3 wicekts in one match and i suppose 2 in one.. one match in which he got 3 wickets won us the match...though shammi was not the man of the match. the tracks were Bad but our pacers- vk and ishant were completely over powered and others never got good support from Dhoni....BK was never trusted to bowl at the end, Unadkat was only given 6 overs .. dhONI IS WORLD'S bEST

Dhoni is world's best captain when captaining spinners as he talks , plans and creates a dangerous trap- finally the batsman succumbs. but over seas these spinners wud get no assistance and hence the bcom straight slow bowlers.......thats when DHONI needs to improve. Pointing used to keep an aggressive field set n even imran khan .. among the latest captains , i suppose most captains do a better job with pacers where as DHoni is the opposite....

i strongly beleive that INDIA with its CRicket CRAZY Public has the capabiity to beat australia in Australia and england in england if our selectors pick the best 16 and captains do a fair JOB even abroad and our pitch curators create fast pitches to make our batsman and bowlers practice. indian public can play for cricket for 9 hours a day 365 days a year.... entire world accepts the fact that we have best batsman and best spinners - fast bowlers- yes we do have its just that they need to be nurtured and Taken care of More......... Ganguly was a great fast bowling captain- under him DINDA did well for KKR and ishant sharma , Zaheer khan and Srinath did well for INDIA. what i am trying to say is Ganguly did much better than Dhoni while dealing with fast bowlers

I do not think Dhoni deserves a place in test side, more so overseas..... he looks like a walking wicket to me
