Dhoni criticises state teams for overbowling quicks

[Lord]

Dhoni himself overbowls his bowlers giving long spells.In England,Ishant and Bhuvi suffered bcoz of that and we could never recover after 2 Tests

Bulbul' date=' seems we are going around in an indefinite loop without progressing. You seem to think the captain is all evil, all powerful, but conveniently washing off his hands. I believe the opposite. Hard to find any sort of agreement in such a situation. So I withdraw from this debate.[/quote'] Even i don't want debate..neither i am saying Captain is evil. Just saying what he said in PC and what you interpreted are different.

i Guess this article clears what Dhoni said. http://www.deccanherald.com/content/468139/our-pacers-should-play-less.html

Since the end of the 2007-08 home season, Ishant Sharma, for example, has sent down only 226.1 overs for Delhi in first-class cricket. Over the same period he has bowled 247.5 overs in IPL and Champions League T20. Shami made his India debut in January 2013. Since then he has bowled 83.3 overs across formats for his state association Bengal to go with 53 overs for Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders. Since making his India debut Bhuvneshwar Kumar has not bowled at all for Uttar Pradesh, but has sent down 110.1 overs for his IPL teams.

Agree with Dhoni. This issue plagues most pacers who play for India on a regular basis.
