Dhoni himself should be sacked. Yet acts like he is in charge and super confident, thus deciding how long coach is employed for. Next he will get selection committee sacked, o wait he has already done that!!!

Lag gaye Dhoni ke L!

Captains has all the right to talk about selections and Dhoni not the 1st one in Indian cricket. Ganguly proposed Greg Chappel name as Indian coach. Its a different story that back fired him.

“Dhoni never likes people who question him. Shastri is a no-nonsense man, and he will intervene. We all know Fletcher never questioned Dhoni. Dhoni knows everything and still he has made such a statement which is surprising,†the official added

Dhobi is the cancer... Needs to be removed... He'll not allow Banger and Arun to work freely... Dhobi already missing incompetent Penny & Dawes... This is why we want Dhobi to go, as a captain... As a captain he is harming Indian cricket... Kudos to the young team which decided to take matters in their hand list all the matches after the Lords test... Thus forced BCCI to remove the coaching staff and force Dhobi's hands... Remember, Dhobi will try to lose as many matches as possible just to prove his point... This cancer needs to be removed ASAP....

Livid BCCI to take up the matter at the next Working Committee meeting.

New Delhi: Indian captain M.S. Dhoni’s statement that coach Duncan Fletcher continues to remain the ‘boss’ of the team and will stay till the 2015 World Cup has prompted a livid BCCI to take up the matter at the next Working Committee meeting. The BCCI top brass is fuming at Dhoni’s comments at the pre-match press conference in Bristol, saying that the captain has “over-stepped his brief†and has no business to decide the tenure of coaches. Dhoni’s comments have also raised speculation on whether he was on the same page with the BCCI bigwigs who had appointed Ravi Shastri as the Director of cricket in the wake of the team’s shambolic performance in the Test series against England. A very senior office-bearer, who is among the top decision makers in the board, made it clear that the matter will come up for discussion at the Board’s next Working Committee meeting. “What happened is very disappointing and unbecoming of an Indian captain. The matter will come up for discussion at the next working committee meeting of the board. Let’s get it straight. Dhoni is no one to comment as to who is the boss of the team. It’s not his domain,†the senior office bearer said on Monday. “Obviously, Dhoni has overstepped his brief as an Indian captain. The media can ask him any question but being a matured cricketer, he should know what his lines are. Just like BCCI officials are not going to decide who is in the playing XI, Dhoni does not decide who is going to stay till what time. “He has not been entrusted with the duty of recruiting the support staff or commenting on their tenure,†said the official, who has also accompanied Indian team as manager on various tours.

Issey kehtey hain apne pair par kulhari maarna....M$D :hehe:

[-Robin-]

looks like BCCI dont care about Srini anymore

[asterix]

Looks like Dhobi overstepped his limits.... I hope all these are not diversionary tactics and wish Dhobi to be reprimanded and kicked out ASAP... Enough of CSK/Rhiti clout on Team India...

[kosingh]

BCCI knows the end is near. But BCCI is not so radical as to replace him with some immature child or someone whose test spot is not even secure. That happens in some countries, and maybe that should happen in India. But it will not.

Seems BCCI are going to have a review meeting over Dhoni comments. Also reports are that Shastri got a very lukewarm welcome and the team members are not supportive of him. Things heating up

Really? So are the players rallying behind Dhoni or is it just the case of them not liking Shastri at all? Any link?

MS Dhoni is finding out that the Boss has changed There was a time not so long ago when in the eyes of BCCI officials, Mahendra Singh Dhoni could leap over buildings, run faster than a bullet train, shoot lasers from his eyes, solve the deepest mysteries of the universe and even take a trip to the moon and back in the matter of seconds. And then there was the matter of finishing games with sixes; winning World Cups and taking India to no.1 in Tests. Simply put, he was superhuman and he could do no wrong. Dhoni’s success on the field was reaping benefits off the field too. The India captain was the only Indian sportsperson on the Forbes list of 100 highest-paid athletes in the world that was released in June this year. He made more money than Wayne Rooney, Dwayne Wade and Usain Bolt. But now perhaps the BCCI seems to believe that the Indian skipper has got too big for his shoes; too powerful and he needs to be cut down to size. The fact that they don’t have a clear alternative to Dhoni may be holding back their hand for the moment but they have probably managed to get a message through to the captain who very famously doesn’t even take calls from N Srinivasan, the (currently suspended) BCCI president. The genesis of the problem is the statement that Dhoni made in the pre-game press conference before the first ODI against England. When asked if he felt bad for head coach Duncan Fletcher, who will now have to work under Ravi Shastri, and if he sees him going to Australia, Dhoni's response was problematic in the eyes of the BCCI – which doesn’t like players or coaches expressing any sort of opinion. “Definitely he will lead us into the World Cup,” Dhoni said. “Also he is still the boss. We have Ravi [shastri] who will look into everything, but Duncan Fletcher is the boss. It's not as if his powers or his position have been curtailed. I don't know what you feel from outside, but still operations remain the same. We have a few other support staff who come into the dressing room, but overall the operation remains the same.” “It’s a bit tough on Trevor [fielding coach] and Joey [bowling coach], I know. Especially when fielders drop catches and the fielding coach has to miss the series,” Dhoni added. It was Dhoni’s way of saying that he does not like what has happened – and that is probably the most he has said on record in a long time. Usually, he would offer no comment. The most he would say would probably go along the lines: “It is the BCCI’s decision. Not my job to comment on it.” But this time, surprisingly, he felt inclined to comment. It brings up two probabilities: he feels threatened by Shastri or he is trying to prepare himself for the post-Srinivasan years. As bad as Fletcher’s stint as India coach has been – there was no mistaking the fact that Dhoni was the man controlling the dressing room. Fletcher offered advice but that is all he did. The man taking the decisions was Dhoni. Now, that may change and that is making Dhoni uncomfortable. Secondly, Srinivasan’s tenure officially ends in September. :aha: For a long time, Srinivasan’s unconditional support allowed Dhoni to function in the way he likes. Now, with the Tamil Nadu Cricket Associations chief moving to the ICC, will the next BCCI president allow him the same kind of freedom? So just in case, it isn’t the same – Dhoni is making his views on the matter known. “Dhoni is no one to comment as to who is the boss of the team. It’s not his domain,” a senior BCCI office-bearer told PTI on Monday. “What happened is very disappointing and unbecoming of an Indian captain. The matter will come up for discussion at the next working committee meeting of the board. Obviously, Dhoni has overstepped his brief as an Indian captain. The media can ask him any question but being a matured cricketer, he should know what his lines are. Just like BCCI officials are not going to decide who is in the playing XI, Dhoni does not decide who is going to stay till what time,” the official further said. A lot of people have said that this is a BCCI vs Dhoni battle but who are they kidding? Dhoni can’t take on the BCCI while the BCCI can take on Dhoni and win as we have seen them do against so many other players. The players have no association to take on the BCCI – they are just individuals against the united official might of the BCCI. Never in the past has the BCCI questioned Dhoni publicly. They even put aside inquires into the spot-fixing scandal because they didn’t want to disturb his concentration during a tour; his conflict of interest case sank without a trace. His close ties to Srinivasan helped of course. But now, he may have to stand alone. And that is never a comforting thought. :yay: http://www.firstpost.com/sports/ms-dhoni-is-finding-out-that-the-boss-has-changed-1682069.html

Players are not stupid. They know more then us, MUCH MUCH more. They all know how dhoni works and the nexus of evil. Wonder why we don't show fight and rally as a team? Work it out! Corrupt set up and they all know it. They all cant say a word and have to be quiet muppets. Best teams have many leaders, voices etc etc. India set up so so different Am sure they all hate shastri and sunnny
