Raghav_12 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Good decision by him. Late though. Because of his ego, it was impossible for him to stay in team just as the player and worrying about his position in playing 11 all the time. So if not captaincy, he had to leave the team. He'll not play in ODI team as well without being captain even though his position in ODIs can't be questioned. Also he can continue captaining ODIs as of now.
goose Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 not a bad career in tests.. but why suddenly? the answer is in the question.
BeautifulGame Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 not a bad career in tests.. but why suddenly? So u want him to stat peddle at home like sachin?
tweaker Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 BCCI gave him a chance to retire,otherwise he should have been axed .
diga Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Ayaz Memon on twitter: CricketwallahVerified account @cricketwallah Understand Dhoni wanted to quit Test cricket anyway after this series. Issue being decided already forced his hand...
Pagalpanti 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 He really knew how to win at home. I think he's won 8 out of 8 tests vs Aus at home. Eng series is the only blot in his home record.
rkt.india Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 So u want him to stat peddle at home like sachin? If he had a career like Sachin.
VRV Singh Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Interested to know how much if anything Kohli etc were aware of this. I am guessing it was always the plan for this to be his last series but the fact that Sydney is a dead rubber accelerated things. Generally Kohli's batting form in this series might have assured things in Dhoni's head too. Hopefully this decision can prolong his ODI career.
The Realist Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 "MS Dhoni, has decided to retire from Test cricket citing the strain of playing all formats of cricket" Sounds a bit strange to be leaving mid series ala Swann. Wonder how I.Sharma feels being abandoned? Will he ever get selected again?
BeautifulGame Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 If he had a career like Sachin. How great shouldn't equate to how selfish u are. Regardless of how much any player achieves team should always come first
CSK Fan Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 How great shouldn't equate to how selfish u are. It doesn't. There is a reason why Sachin is one of the most respected names in world cricket and retired with such a fan fare
The Dark Horse Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Respect his decision :hatsoff: Though a bit late..not many Indian captains would have done it
Detonator Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Good decision MSD. Now India will whitewash other teams on their home.
CoverDrive Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 wait for idiots on facebook to talk about his ODI record and talk of how he won us world cups
Raghav_12 Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Good decision MSD. Now India will whitewash other teams on their home. Process for happening of that will start, at least.
IKnowU Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 wait for idiots on facebook to talk about his ODI record and talk of how he won us world cups credit where its due maybe. Let's not act like he had world beaters in the bowling attack, he had to work with the limited poverty line bowling resources which he could only take/hide them so much.
Debutant Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Even though I wanted him to retire in Tests but I am feeling sad now after this news
Detonator Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 Process for happening of that will start' date=' at least.[/quote'] Process again :whine:
