Dhoni deserves this


New guy

Oh yeah?  and please give me 2 bowlers outside of Zaheer who Gangu teili and yes-sir Dravid championed for the Indian team?  Lack of match-winning bowling resources is a Team India issue for 40+ years.  We never have a full "attack" - we usually have 2 bowlers who are class, and the rest make up the numbers.  Eventually, the ones that are good crumble under the extra workload and their numbers end up in the shitter, because batters can play them out and score at the other end, and then score off of them once set.  

Shouldn't Dhoni have done something about it? He is captain for last 8 years. Isn't it captain's job to build a team.

We missed our best fast bowler(Shami) and best spinner(Ashwin). With the core of the bowling attack out injured, this kind of a debacle was always on the cards given how thin our resources are.

Dhoni and debacles go hand in hand. Whitewashes, heaviest defeats etc

Its all about the process, not the results

True.  But India wins ODIs with batting, and fact is batting won Zero games out of 7 this series.  Bowlers still won 2 ODIs inspite of missing a couple of guys...

Dhoni and victories also go hand in hand. This World Cup wins, biggest wins etc etc

This is just a phase. We were not full strength and were up against one of the strongest sides.

Batting sort of won us the Chennai game and we did post 200 in the first T20I. But yes batting has let us down mainly in Kanpur and Rajkot where we lost from winning positions.

Disappointed to see dhoni's post match 

Again saying we hve seen bowler who bowl fatser go for runs

 

Yes, varun aaron n umesh hve lil control n they hardly use their brains but i doubt they cud hve been this worst 

Atleast there pace cud b lil more handy then our trundlers.

A captain needs to show faith in them no matter, he has showed immense faith in raina jadeja rohit

Bhuvneshwar bowls bad n still keeps playing umesh plays one match bad n gets dropped in bang n even this series

atleast he did well in wc, did well in cb series

i dnt rem when bhuvi did bowl well last time, may b eng odi series n that eng side had no idea how to play odi 

a fast bowler has to scare opp not being scared of his own captain

IN 92 WC wasim akram was having problem with new ball control n was bowling alot of wides n imran gave a statement in paper that i want wasim to bowl fast . That gave wasim a lot of confidence

 

N dhoni says in Bang we hve to now go to bowler who dnt hve pace directly telling ur bowler ur wanted

that wud hve shattered his confidence n the guy did well in WC

 

M a huge huge Ms dhoni Fan but have to confess he is the worst captain a fast bowler cud get .

Another eg to back my statement In Csk also He made mitchell mcgleashan n kyle abbott sit whole season out

I c Steyn , akhtar , andy roberts, mcgrath showering praises over the talent of umesh , aaron about their talent. These r gr8 fas bowler they know about bowling more than anyone. 

But In india we can see the super talent in Rohit sharma n back him for years n years n b happy wid his one or two series perfomances

but when it comes to seeing a talent in fast bowler we start to look at his figures

Can we show equal faith in fast bowler, ultimately a bowler wins u matches 

If not whats the point of being xcited about guys like Barinder Sran, nathu singh n all

few matches for them with bad figures , n there wud b post n captain's statement about how much runs they leak

dhoni has to take full blame for his stupid ideas and he refuses to learn from them.

there are no good 125k+ bowler...they are only in his imagination.

the team has been spoilt quite a bit by the so called allrounder nonsense.binny had no business being in the team...axar's batting foundation is not good enough...

the only genuine allround options are jadeja and hardik pandya. and they have to prove they can win matches.

things like balance makes sense only if you win matches first. 

A player has to be there because he can win matches or has the world class talent to do so.

I agree that Dhoni makes some mind boggling decisions, his team selections are not the best,  and he should retire.

But let's not even pretend that there's an abundance of talent in the country at the moment.  Even not playing Dhoni, Dhawan, Raina, Mohit, Bhuvi etc....we don't have the talent to compete against decent teams.

Sure, we could do better than this lot.

It is true that we don't have great pacers.

It is also true that one cannot fault Dhoni for choosing Bhuvi in our ODI team. He was an economical bowler before this series.

BUT

BUT

why is Mohit Sharma an automatic choice in this team ? He is neither a wicket taker, nor economical, nor quick, nor bouncy, nor very good with swing. How is he better than Umesh who is a wicket taking bowler ?

Why are Aaron or Ishant not even in contention while all the other pacers are very expensive too ?  

Why has Arvind been chosen ? Why not Bumrah ? Why has Ishwar Pandey never been tried ? 

I agree that all our pacers are either average or bad. Why this preference over some of these bad or average bowlers then, especially when most of those chosen don't seem to have any potential as well ?

 

One of the very few posts i find Spot on. :clap2:  ICF needs more of posts like this. :nice:

Our A team thrashed this same SA team, so, there is talent.

Actually under Ganguly and later Dravid, we were on the way to having a better all round attack. Our bowlers were finally standing up. We had both genuine swing and fast bowlers emerging. And we started winning overseas. Dhoni took that trend and completely reversed it with his stubbornness and defensiveness. We went all the way back to the 90s where we win nothing abroad and where we have only trundlers who try to control

 

The damage that Dhoni has done will live for long, but you will still see how the same bowlers bowl better under Kohli in the test series. The difference is obvious

Kohli / Shastri combo are working on the damage done by DHONI. In couple of years time, we will see some exciting young fast bowlers who bowls fast and spin bowlers who spin the ball

But so bad for me that...now I have to watch both the innings. I have actually stopped watching Indian bowling....

I have stopped watching Odi cricket under Dhoni's captaincy.
