randomGuy Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 He was still an automatic selection for test matches in India like Rohit Sharma. It was the away test matches as well as the captaincy tht was the problem. Playing only home test matches could have worked i guess.
Mindreader Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Dhoni directly proportional to srini,hence proved
Gambit Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Rohit Sharma will get a game for sure now.
CSK Fan Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Kumble retired mid series. Dhoni just didn't wanted to do staged drama of inviting West Indies for rigged farewell series :winky: That is because this is not Dhoni's big retirement, he is still an active player. He will get a big retirement too at home (or after a world cup win) hopefully
Magneto Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 He did say during the last Test - 'Only I know what is going on in my mind'.
IKnowU Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Should have at least played as a keeper/batsmen
Austin 3:!6 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Kumble retired because of an injury that he knew he would not recover from. Wrong. He was asked to retire as Dhoni was young captain as a fresh air that time. What injury? He continued to play IPL :dontknow:
rkt.india Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Dont think so. He will continue in ODIs for a while because he enjoys that format a lot more. Dont think he enjoys cricket anymore. So many responsibilities have taken a toll on him. He looks 45 year old than a 33 year old.
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 good for himself but horrible for the team. Should have waited for this series and then retired after WC from both tests and ODI
CSK Fan Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Dhoni directly proportional to srini' date='hence proved[/quote'] What happened to Srini?
Magneto Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Damn' date=' trolling aside, its an hollow feeling[/quote'] +1
Gambit Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Wrong. He was asked to retire as Dhoni was young captain as a fresh air that time. What injury? He continued to play IPL :dontknow: Anil Kumble has announced his retirement from cricket, saying the finger injury he sustained on the third day of the Test helped him make his decision. The news was made public minutes after the tea break on the final day; Kumble then bowled four overs before the match was called off as a draw. "The body was asking questions every day," he said. "It was not easy to keep bowling the way I have been bowling the last 18 years, to keep going. The injury I had on the third day probably helped me make the decision." http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/story/376672.html
CoverDrive Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 this makes the last test interesting. Aussies will again go hard at Kohli who will also try to impose himself.
Lannister Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 I don't know why but I am feeling sad, although I made some hate comments against his captaincy.
Gambit Posted December 30, 2014 Author Posted December 30, 2014 Ishant is now the only link to the side that became #1. :giggle:
IKnowU Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Looks like a sudden decision, reports are he spent 20mins on the phone(bcci?) after the test then had dinner before notifying everyone.
CoverDrive Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Best MSD test captain moment was defeating AUssies in Nagpur where he put a 8-2 field to frustrate them and stuck to the plan all day
TNAmarkFrmIndia Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Respect for a decision well taken. :hatsoff:
