sachin34357 Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Dhoni has equaled Mohammad Azharuddin's record of 90 ODI wins, the most by an Indian captain.
Laaloo Posted August 30, 2014 Posted August 30, 2014 Thanks for giving us the answer Mods can close this thread now
Muloghonto Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 They both don't know their use by date. Not true for Azhar. He was dropped because of matchfixing issues, not becase of his form. He still remained easily the only worldclass fielder India had and had gone through a recent reneissance in form to do quite well in the middle order.

He had no leadership ability and was playing politics with the team composition. He was a cancer on Indian cricket and I am not even going in match fixing.
gaurav92 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Whats common between KT and OP ? Both open lame threads :hehe:

He was a cancer on Indian cricket and I am not even going in match fixing. All true, which is why he got dropped. But the quote i responded to, was about how they don't know their use-by date, which indicates the poster thought Azhar wasn't putting up the performances a player is expected to (which is what not pulling your weight in sports mean). That is incorrect, Azhar was actually batting really well and was our best fielder when we dropped him.
adi B Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Azhar was a HTB with an awesome avg of 56 at home but sucked away with the avg dropping to 33 IIRC.that was the case with most Indian batsmen during the 90s eg siddhu,manju etc
velu Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I didn't watch azhar much but he batted like sehwag .. Scored many run a ball centuries Sent from my Nexus 4 using Tapatalk
Precambrian Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 There were multitude of issues besides fixing. He had no leadership ability and was playing politics with the team composition. He was a cancer on Indian cricket and I am not even going in match fixing. He had good leadership and communication skills. But once it went to his head, he was a goner. Was good in 1992 WCs and the 1993 Eng series etc. Almost Stephen Flemingesque. But lost it when he went after that woman and then started to think too much about money than cricket.

There was this whip-ondrive of his, the bat speed was so awesome it would come down like a thunderbolt, then just kiss the ball and then shoot back to where it came, and the ball would be racing towards mid-wicket fence. I'd say as a batsman he was on par or even better than Laxman.
Austin 3:!6 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Azhar was eden track bully. Remember he hit 5 successive boundaries of Klusener in a test match
