Karan114 Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Somebody do some serious testing on him. I can't even imagine what sort of **** you need to be smoking to come up with these sorts of statements.
prasadiyer Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 This must be some kind of satire. No way Dhoni made these stupid statements, nobody is that thick-skinned and living in a fool's paradise.
nevada Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 Seeing the glass as half full when it is actually shattered to pieces. Only Dhoni can do this.
prasadiyer Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 I see this latest debacle as the last straw for the IPL. Even the long-suffering, eternally forgiving Indian public will tune out of watching cricket for a while, especially the masala variety.
wanted_desi Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 :giggle: Worst Captain i have seen in my life :two_thumbs_up: Good JOb Dhoni, i used to respect you once upon time. :hysterical:

It is not easy to win toss in Newzealand!
Deleted_User_1 Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 The fecker Jharkhandi is always giving excuses. I hate people that provide excuses for their poor performances or failures. Just man up and accept things as is. Does he have pencil dik and trying to hide it with all this bravado or what?
rkt.india Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 ++++ The 5th allrounder shld be a batting allrounder, not a bowling one like jaddu. Yes, who can bat at 6 or 7 and bowl too. Ashwin can bat at that spot, but his bowling is innocuous overseas. Needs to try Rishi Dhawan or Irfan at 7, but they are going for Pinny who is neither a bowler nor a batsman.
Sean Bradley Posted February 19, 2014 Posted February 19, 2014 "We had to field for two, two and a half days and I must appreciate the way the bowlers took the challenge. There is something fundamentally wrong with this guys thinking, they were in the field for two and a half days coz the bowlers sucked, and he is praising their effort of sucking at taking wickets and bowling for 2 days :hysterical::hysterical:, Saaala Chewtiyaa.

I don't think they are going with Panni in tests.

Switchblade Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 New Zealand series gone, skipper MS Dhoni still 'cool' http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/series-tournament/india-in-new-zealand-2014/top-stories/New-Zealand-series-gone-skipper-MS-Dhoni-still-cool/articleshow/30636033.cms The first step towards redemption, or at least towards rectifying any errors, is to accept that you are doing something wrong. The Indian team as a whole, and some players, believe that they are not capable of making mistakes. Even in their worst defeats, they act like world-beaters and pretend that they are no big deal; they haven't won a single game on this tour, against a decidedly resolute but much weaker team, but almost everybody still carried a swagger. Captain MS Dhoni refused to accept that it had been a disastrous tour, merely accepting that the (loss in the) ODIs were disappointing "to some extent." He said: "South Africa, you can always say we didn't get enough time to prepare ourselves, and in a three-match series, it is difficult to come back." He was generous enough to accept that many opportunities were squandered. "There were instances where we could have capitalised on. We saw a glimpse of that in this Test match also. In the last Test too, in the second innings, we bowled fantastically well to come back into the series. "Then when we were batting, I felt we had a good partnership going but we lost wickets at the wrong time and that put the pressure back on ourselves. That's one part where we will have to improve." But then, he quickly moved into theories and abstracts. "What's important is to see whether we have improved and changed the way we have played our cricket. If we compare to it to the SA series, there are plenty of positives, especially in this series." Dhoni in fact argued that the team has developed. "We have progressed. It's very important to statistically say this is what has happened and this is where we have improved. Overall if you see our performance has been good. The wickets in both the Test matches turned out to be flatter, getting better and better for batting. "Looking at that, our bowling performance was really good." Indeed, he was all praise for the bowling, even though they couldn't take a wicket for more than a full day, especially when a victory was looming. "We bowled for two-and-a half days. We tried our best, all fielding positions, we tried three new balls to get them out," he said. "At times, you have to appreciate that the opposition can also bat well. We don't always have to put pressure on our bowlers and batters saying we batted badly or we bowled badly. I think it was fantastic to see the way our bowlers bowled." It was almost like it hardly mattered that a rare away victory had slipped away. "You don't get to see sides playing with three fast bowlers and one spinner and putting the kind of effort that we did. Overall, we will accept that we were not able to get two batsmen out. They batted really well, we will give credit to them but at the same time, what really needs to be appreciated is the will and the way our fast bowlers tried to get the opposition out on a really flat wicket." When asked about the frustration of the winless streak away from home, he became philosophical. "I am someone who speaks about the process, rather than about the results. "If you compare our performance, the last two series we played after a long break outside the subcontinent. I think we have been improving. If you compare those two series (4-0 defeats in England and Australia) with the last few, there is plenty of improvement."That's what it's all about, you want to keep improving to a stage where you start converting those good situations into better starts, and then start capitalising on them."
Switchblade Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 ^Philosphical and he owns a Y39Z bike - the new age Harrison :woot: Aaahh the gud ol' 'fal ki chinta na kar keshav.........' and he is black belt six sigma certified in the art and science of processes - coolness quotient just went astro. I think he should be tested if he is high on something if a win less tour is not disastrous then I don't know what to say :headshake:
Switchblade Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Yeah but to be honest nothing that he says or does is surprising really - all too familiar. Expect the same in England as well another series loss :((
Switchblade Posted February 19, 2014 Author Posted February 19, 2014 Still a few months to go - for sadness to reign supreme and 'that's all there ever remained ever after' stuff. Yeah I know nothing has changed well not nothing the ashes happened and just have to pray the brits come off worse than us fellows in their backyard With these fellows at the top not much improvement in our squad that's pretty certain. "I think he [Dhoni] doesn't trust his bowling attack as much as I think he should, I saw that even in the Test match in Durban, where he didn't take the new ball till 146 overs. In fact he was forced to take the new ball. He didn't trust his fast bowlers to be able to take wickets. He kept playing with the older ball because he wanted to control the runs. So I think that is a slightly defensive mindset that he's got into." "I think he's got to realise this very quickly, that if he wants to win Test matches abroad, he's got to risk it all. He's got to take that chance that he's going to have to lose some Test matches. The only way you can win abroad is to take a few risks, take a few gambles." -Rahul Sharad Dravid.

Dravid spoke quite a bit negative things about Dhoni but didn't have enough aggressive streak to ask for outright resignation from him which would have been only logical thing to say considering the flaws he pointed out.
