randil Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Amla has tendered his resignation from the Test captaincy after the completion of the second Test against England in Cape Town which ended in a draw.Hashim Amla was appointed the South African captain in the middle of 2014 after the retirement of their skipper Graeme Smith, who led the team in a record 108 matches.Under the captaincy of Amla, South Africa played 14 Tests and managed to win four and lost as many matches while managing to draw six games. Amla has come in for criticism of his leadership since the start of the series but had returned to form with the bat with 201.info...
Iconoclast Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Agree. I think Amla has shown himself to be a coward as when it got too hot in the kitchen he did a runner bang in the middle of a series.Its a symptom as to why SA never win anything. They have a streak of mental weakness running throughout them and can never hack a pressure situation.Congratulating Amla is congratulating cowardice.Amla needs to learn how to be tough and brave .. I think you, given your merits of being internet tough guy and brave ICF hero, are the one to teach him how not to be a coward.

Maybe this was a one off cowardly moment.
The Realist Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Amla needs to learn how to be tough and brave .. I think you, given your merits of being internet tough guy and brave ICF hero, are the one to teach him how not to be a coward. You've really got your panties in a twist since you posted the same crap twice.Captaincy should be an honour not something you discard like said panties above. If Amla spent as much time on the captaincy as he does on growing his beard, SA would not be in the mess they are now.
MCcricket Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 Some guys out here R pathetic n communal, wonder what kinda home they have been raised , to call names , just bcoz someone has a beard, guy was honest n did not hang on for power or money like our Capt did, the day u wake up in the morning n look in the mirror n feel someone can do a better job its time to quit n he did
maniac Posted January 7, 2016 Posted January 7, 2016 What whitewash are you referring to ?3-1 in England ? That's a white wash ? or 1-0 in SA? LOL huh? 4-0 in eng 2011 3-0 in aus considering he didn't captain in one, 2-1 home series loss to England which was a cherry on top..... Getting kicked out in the first round of 3 t20 wcs......losing overseas odi series in sa,nzl,eng in 2022 etc etc.benefit of doubt in odis as he is a good odi player and does well in icc tourneys but the rest.....have you been following indian cricket ?

maniac Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 2011? In that Team we got Sachin , Sehwag , Dravid , Laxman , Zaheer , Kohli - So why exactly are you blaming MSD? England at its prime in 2011 - 2012 LMAO that's like 5 years back1 series loss at home ? we haven't lost any other series at home in last 10 years you never said...Do you even know the rules of cricket in first place? I wonder...Don't even talk about beating SA with that kind of bowling attack and for your kind information we won ODI series against England.. Time to wake up and stop living under a rock.. You ain't AUS with that shitty bowling attack to win Test series in SA , ENG AND AUS.. Simple as thatHe has achieved so much than any other captain did for India.. Harsh truth some haters can't digest ok let me do the Bollywood gimmick of rotating the screen or something to refresh your yaadaash dhoni got kicked out of 3 t20 wc preliminary rounds ..... THREE I repeat..... Yeah 4th one he reached the finals but still he did jack in any of the tournament...: doesn't even have a 50 in t20i and still hangs on to the captaincy because why T20 is the most commercially viable format in cricket today.now since we got tamasha cricket out of the way let's focus on real cricket.i admit Dhoni especially while playing in subcontinent is a gun test player as well.... Probably behind gilchrist for me but he becomes a tailender overseas more often than not.....credit where due he does fight it out at times and know this is not an assessment of dhobi the player is it?captaincy4-0 and 3-0 lossstarts bowling the first day of the test when zak is injured.... That made the biggest mockery of the series for me....that there became advantage England.... That was the most pathetic display everhis field settings were really deplorable during this time which continued till the end.his clear bias..... Sreeshanth was a little nuts and he is to blame for his own downfall but the guy was treated like garbage by dhoni..... Right from the sa series where he was a star to preferring guys like pk over him, etc....now pk the trundler did ok in one or 2 test that's a different story......then he flies in a pregnant rp Singh while threatening the selectors out of nowhere.no balls as a captain..... Well he couldn't do much about SRT makes sense but he could have tried a different combo over Dravid in aus or laxman......well fine let us give him credit for respecting legends....then he doesn't even have a clue about laxmans retirement as he didn't give a fk.followed by already under the radar for 2 white washes....wins the first test than he's owned by England, a team who are historically piss poor travelers and who got white washed by a much weaker pak side earlier. despute those embarrassments he hangs on. lets take indias 3 biggest cricketers ...... Srt,kapil and sunny even they couldn't survive the desicion to axe them from captaincy....in sachins case he himself gave up to focus on batting for the greater good and no not like a coward mid series though.kapil whose World Cup win was a lot tougher and greater than dhonis didn't survive the axe after a poor home series.Even ganguly was axed for a lot little embarrassments and due to personal form.....Dravid stepped down like a boss.but this guy just hung on and on....yes odis he is the greatest ever but he should have quit tests as a captain and t20s altogether. adi B and Shivaji bhonsle 2
maniac Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 ^ also did I mention to add that in tests he stood a million miles behind the wicket especially to trundlers. i like dhoni as a player and I think he is definitely the 2nd best keeper-bat after gilchrist on pure numbers and I will pick him over he likes of saha and ojha 9999 out of a 10000 even in t20s where he sucks but his integrity makes me hate him and not respect him and by that I don't mean he is a typical paki or Lungan like cheater/whines/fixer etc but he is way to overrated in the respect dept and doesn't deserve it.
maniac Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) LOLLooks like this guy wants IND to win everything and anything.. You need to fresh your own memories no team won the T20I Twice.When is a guy comes at 6 or 7 you want a 50 of him for 12 or max 18 balls he gets to face.. That's your logic LOL That explains pretty mcuh everything about you...4-0 win against Aussies and 2-0 against NZ + many more like CB series in AUS // 3-0 is something that you randomly pulled out of your bum i guess.. Or you are watching some PAK match because i just cannot see it.. Since you know more about cricket.. May be you should go in place of him.. You could have Batted first and did what ever you want LOLCalling England poor pretty much says about your facts..They won 8-9 series in a row which includes ASHES WIN 3-1 in AUS and a Draw in RSA... So from next time get your facts right atleast"and no not like a coward mid series though" - You are obviously taking a dig at MSD again.. LMAO 2 or 3 posts back adi B said no one called MSD a coward.. Thanks for this LOLThe fact never changes.. He is the BEST captain India ever had.. His records says it all.. When was the last time India was #1 Team Before MSD was captain LOL ? That's enough i guess yeah that's enough because you clearly are a Csk fan who thinks dhoni is the best thing since slice bread based on some ipl and cl wins lol.ok since you probably need some cricketing accumen training.....care to check what dhonis t20 s/r is??? As you said he never has enough time to score a 50.i keep saying 3-0 to pacify blind MSD fans like you....FYI we lost the series against aus in 2011-2012 4-0 but captain cool played only in 3 because he was street smart enough to ban himself in one.....yeah random stat from my ass really (sarcasm) ....Watch some intl cricket as well apart from ipl...trust me I love ipl but I live cricket every more. Edited January 8, 2016 by maniac
maniac Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 HAHAHAHAHA LMAO since you don't have an answer.. You just call me a CSK fan ??? I don't even support CSK in first place.. I was born in HYD.. We got our own team i believe SRH... I didn't even mention IPL since my first post in this... NOT EVEN ONCESince you bought that up.. He has way way way better records even in IPL.. Don't even ask me for proof.. You will make a joke out of yourself here if i even get IPL into this conversation.. IND doesn't even play much T2OI in first place... and you are still avoiding the question.. Who scored a 50 batting at 6 or 7 in T20? 6-7 is not a easy position to play in first place.. They need to hit from first ball... 116 is good enough at 6 compared to so called T20 specialist Rohit with 128 huhIND got 4-0 whitewashed in IND you never said Mr. Cricket Expert all you keep talking about is how we lost 4-0 to them LOLGet your shit right and use the one inside your head.. (Hint : - It starts with B ends to N ) Use it next time 116 s/r is good enough at no 6 in t20s??? ok nohing to say here You win brah you win
Shivaji bhonsle Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Dhoni was a disaster as a test captain. Right from west Indies where we had a very good chance of winning the test match, he just failed so badly in every test series. Whatever Ganguly built was destroyed by Dhoni. Such a pain to watch cricket . These days I don't even bother to watch Odis since they are going the same way as test matches. Watching test cricket under Kohli's captaincy is the only good thing in the last 4-5 years for me. maniac, adi B and Mosher 3

philcric Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 He did indeed Destroy the TEST team with that many LosesNot enough space to include Dhoni's captaincy results till 2015 ? express bowling 1
express bowling Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 (edited) A complete list of test series with MS Dhoni as captain. He took over as captain in the last test against Australia and quit in the middle of the last series in that list.Series wins in blue, series losses in red and drawn series in black...home series mentioned in bold.As we can clearly see...MSD's test captaincy can be divided into 2 parts. Combined with Gary Kirsten as the coach, he was a very effective test captain till mid 2011.After that, from mid 2011...his performance as a test captain had deteriorated significantly and he performed very badly. Most of his successes in this phase has been against weak teams at home barring a home Australia series.Source -- ESPNCRICINFO Link belowhttp://stats.espncricinfo.com/india/engine/records/team/series_results.html?class=1;id=6;type=team Border-Gavaskar Trophy (Australia in India) HOME2008/09 India2-0 (4)England in India Test Series HOME2008/09 India1-0 (2)India in New Zealand Test Series2008/09 India1-0 (3)Sri Lanka in India Test Series HOME2009/10 India2-0 (3)India in Bangladesh Test Series2009/10 India2-0 (2)South Africa in India Test Series HOME2009/10 drawn1-1 (2)India in Sri Lanka Test Series2010 drawn1-1 (3)Border-Gavaskar Trophy (Australia in India) HOME2010/11 India2-0 (2)New Zealand in India Test Series HOME2010/11 India1-0 (3)India in South Africa Test Series2010/11 drawn1-1 (3)India in West Indies Test Series2011 India1-0 (3)Pataudi Trophy (India in England)2011 England4-0 (4)West Indies in India Test Series HOME2011/12 India2-0 (3)Border-Gavaskar Trophy (India in Australia)2011/12 Australia4-0 (4)New Zealand in India Test Series HOME2012 India2-0 (2)England in India Test Series HOME2012/13 England2-1 (4)Border-Gavaskar Trophy (Australia in India)HOME2012/13 India4-0 (4)West Indies in India Test Series HOME 2013/14 India2-0 (2)India in South Africa Test Series2013/14 South Africa1-0 (2)India in New Zealand Test Series2013/14 New Zealand1-0 (2)Pataudi Trophy (India in England)2014 England3-1 (5)Border-Gavaskar Trophy (India in Australia)2014/15 Australia2-0 (4) Edited January 8, 2016 by express bowling Mosher 1
Shivaji bhonsle Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 He did indeed Destroy the TEST team with that many LosesHis downfall started from 2011. The way he handled and picked the fast bowlers was heart breaking for lot of fans. He kept backing vinay Kumar and kept picking him for some reason which are known only to Dhoni. He had a chance of picking Umesh yadav in south Africa but he freaking picked the one test wonder Unadkat for some reason which is known to only Dhoni. How about picking Vinay Kumar in Perth? LolWhat's his batting average outside Asia? He should have been dropped for that 20 plus batting average outside Asia?When Mohinder Amarnath wanted to replace his captaincy after the disastrous tour of Australia and England in 2011 in which we lost 8-0, what did he and M. Srinivasan do? They chucked Amarnath from selection committee and continued shamelessly. The first series lost against England happened under his captaincy... I can write so much about this guy... I'll leave it to that. express bowling and Mosher 2
Shivaji bhonsle Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 Kohli was the Best Captain ever alive :)Agree with you totally..The way we won the 1st test against Lanka with 192 lead in first innings.. He was brilliant captainThe way he led his IPL team to Victory which has no big names and no talent like Gayle , ABD , starc , Yuvraj , Kar and few other very ordinary players is just magnificent... We won the series against Srilanka, in Srilanka after 27 years or something. I think fans will give credit for that. And what's with ipl records? don't give a damn about ipl. That's just rubbish argument. Sorry. Mosher and express bowling 2
Shivaji bhonsle Posted January 8, 2016 Posted January 8, 2016 :cheer:Worth Lankan Team in those 27 years they never said...I bought up 1st Test for a Reason.. Just to see Double STNDS of some people hereIPL doesn't count cause you have nothing to defend.. when he got the Best Player in the world + Best Ball Murderer + Best Bowler + Very Talented Young stars compared to any other Team.. At least get to Finals:giggle:In few years same old shit will repeat with Kohli.. The same people Cheering him with boo him LMAOSome IND fans will never change Dhoni is a ipl legend and I am not surprised Dhoni fans like you are very very proud of that. . Im not gonna argue anymore . Buh bye..
