drama queen, he'll play in the world cup

Just retire already. In and out of the team, and constant speculation that he is fit, half fit, unfit, nearly fit etc. Aussie selectors will force his hand soon.

It's a tricky situation for the selectors. He's a really good captain and one of the best batsmen in the world. When he's playing, he bats well, scores centuries and leads the side (more often than not) to victory. However, he has decimated discs at multiple levels and this is causing many related problems (e.g. Hamstring issues). I would be shocked if he does not retire after the world cup.

I think he'll pull himself through to the Ashes. These Aussies are tough tough tough blokes. And since the Ashes means so much to them....

Possibly. He might retire from ODIs after the World Cup and try to push through in Tests until the 2015 Ashes series, and go for a series win in England.

He needs to seek help from nirmal baba.;)

It will be very sad if he never plays again, he looks like born leader and a fearless one too.The way he has transformed himself after becoming captain is amazing. He was reason why the first test had exciting finish and we have dhobi who did not think 600 runs was enough nor was he ready to chase small target in WI . This moron even admitted he was ready to play for draw in Mohali test after two quick wickets. At the end of the game, Dhoni said it had got close and he did not want to gamble in that position by launching into his signature big hits, even though Australia had packed the inner ring with single-saving fielders ."Yes it got close. If you see I don't gamble, but the stakes were high in the sense we had everything to lose and literally we had nothing to gain. No wonder Indian team is stinking under dhobi.

drama queen' date=' he'll play in the world cup[/quote'] I don't think so. His injuries in the back are not of the healing type, it is degenerative.
