Lord Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 He used to talk about process while the team was being beaten again and again and was even talking about it while being whitewashed :hehe: He never used that term IIRC with senior team where some people overstayed for personal milestones.With young team it is indeed a process and you expect results only when they have enough experience.We werent whitewashed with them anyway anyway why repeat it now :giggle:

He was still our best bat if you combine both series together. Individually might have been Dravid and Kohli but SRT still did well and no way did he suck in those tours
Raghav_12 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Now I can watch test matches without compromising on my patriotism. I was so put off by this guy that I had almost stopped watching cricket. Of course retirement of Sachin, Dravid, Laxman didn't help either. It was very evident with the number (or lack) of my posts in cricket talk sections. Now I hope to come back to cricket.
maniac Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 ^^To add in ODI's I agree after 2011,there was that 100 100 pressure but not in tests as SRTw as very much needed till we were absolutely sure he ran out of gas in the tank and there were worthy replacements
bulbul Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Will miss him in tests watch Enter the dragon.

Individually might have been Dravid and Kohli but SRT still did well and no way did he suck in those tours Ofcourse there's no point of senior player playing home games for so long unless you are sure of touring again.I thought he was gonna go to SA but he retired right before that.Odd decision

Individually might have been Dravid and Kohli but SRT still did well and no way did he suck in those tours Man then your definition of s**** is totally different. Sachin stunk after world cup till he retired I don't think there is any other way to put it. Dhobi was best bat after Vijay in England , what does it mean in big picture, the whole team stunk being best or second best means nothing. Neither of them were scored anything substantial.

May be...I am not saying he set the world on fire.....As I have acknowledged many times....2011 WC should have been the end of Sachin the ODI player but we didn't want him to retire from tests yet.....I am just responding to Lord's post that he hung around for personal milestones-in ODI's yes....in Tests-No,he was expected to play a little longer
VRV Singh Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Bhajji on M retirement - I will not say anything as I have nothing to say :cantstop: :giggle: but for balance here: Harbhajan Singh @harbhajan_singh · 2h 2 hours ago Congratulations @msdhoni on your test career.stay happy.God bless
Aaku Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Ramesh Srivats @rameshsrivats I'm sure Dhoni had decided to retire in 2014. And as usual, he did it with only a day to spare. #DhoniRetires :D
maniac Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 mrs dhonis retweet Lol to even think he is in the same league as Dravid or Sachin. Anyways Smart guy,walked away to save face rather than being kicked out :two_thumbs_up: Still miss Dhoni the player though
Shivaji bhonsle Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Lol to even think he is in the same league as Dravid or Sachin. Anyways Smart guy,walked away to save face rather than being kicked out :two_thumbs_up: Still miss Dhoni the player though No one would have kicked him out. He could have carried on but you gotta respect him for letting it go knowing nobody could have challenged him for captaincy.
maniac Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 No one would have kicked him out. He could have carried on but you gotta respect him for letting it go knowing nobody could have challenged him for captaincy. He would have been dropped from tests after this series as a captain regardless.
