"Fast bowlers give more runs, we are better off with line and length bowlers"- Dhoni

[Gollum]

Umesh Yadav is actually scared of Dhoni and always thinking whether he will be dropped every second match, you can easily notice that Yadav tries to avoid Dhoni even during wicket celebrations and that last interview in which he was praising Kohli as a very good captain and then added a last line that Mahi bhai is also a good captain shows the politics and fear Dhoni commands over the Indian team.

Took the words out of my mouth. Glad someone agrees with me on this.

Dhoni is doing the job that is normally reserved for the opposition spokesmen.. Ridiculing your own bowlers publicly? Why would Yadav or Aaron now want to play in a match under MSD? When they know the captain has no faith in them? Rather than boosting the confidence, you say that you are worse than Mohit Sharmas of teh world.. and that too publicly??

This is a new low for Indian Cricket.. I dont see BCCI banning MSD? Any other person talks about players capabilities and he is reprimanded, so why no Dhoni? What if I say Dhoni's batting is worse than Umesh Yadav who has just hit a first class century?

pathetic. Even if he is not sacked, he should be told to keep his mouth firmly shut.

yadav has already taken 48 test wickets at strike rate of of 53. In odi cricket taken 72 wickets at a strike rate of 33. 

I like bk but in comparison he's been terrible in both formats of the game despite those series in england where the conditions where perfect for his swing bowling. Mohit average only looks decent becuase he's played so many matches vs minnow team. Take out minnow teams his ODI average increases to 47. But Yadavs record minus the minnows is virtually the same.

But despite all this Dhoni takes every opportunity he gets to bash yadav but never says anything about the other bowlers. It really doesn't make any sense to me. Unless their is some personal stuff going on between the two.
