gakgupta Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 What was he doing today?.... pushing, probing... He is not even a shadow of himself who was once an all time great ODI batsman... So sad but this may be the end of an illustrious career who has redefined the ODI chasing... Some say Bevan was best ODI BATSMAN but I differ with that..as I truly believe DHONI is the best.... Time to hang up his boots before he makes kapil Dev of himself Sent from my XT1068 using Tapatalk sscomp32 and tweaker 1 1
G_B_ Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 hmm i think this is a knee jerk. Played as per situation. Even now RR is well within control. Its just we have lost wickets. I feel MSD of old would have seen this match through. So he is clearly not at his peak. But IMO deserves this spot in the team Rasgulla, msplash9, sscomp32 and 5 others 7 1
Austin 3:!6 Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 It was not needed to go beserk today. He played according to the situation. Losing early wickets didnt help our cause. Rasgulla, sscomp32 and velu 3
Austin 3:!6 Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Rohit continue to fail on top of the order Rahane just cant bat in ODIs after ample oppurtunities Pandya couldnt finish the job either Shocking run out from Pandey But but but... All Dhoni's fault ofcourse. Rasgulla, tweaker, sscomp32 and 1 other 4

All Dhoni's fault ofcourse. Why do you even bother? Let them enjoy . Next match if MS succeds these same people will find someone other reasons to discredit and blame him. ICF has reached a stage where People wait for MS's failure and ignore every other loophole. We collapse after Kohli fall, no problem. Pandey and Pandya needs more maturity no problem. Rohit, Rahane needs to get themselves moving and not start slow as a snail ut no problem. Dhoni is just a scapegoat for people in ICF now. I pity their about situation when he finally retires , like what happened in the drawn test in WI. The posts/situation/hypocrisy was so hilarious i couldn't stop laughing at times. They didn't have their favourite scapegoat to blame when india lost (Yes lost, that was a lost and most shambolic performance after having the opposition team down on the mat). sandeep, Bleed-Blue, Austin 3:!6 and 2 others 5
Lannister Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 The hack is not even able to connect the ball properly. Just lost all the reflexes he once had. This powermonger had it coming for some time now. Ironhide, New guy and maniac 3
Ankit_sharma03 Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Dhoni is being to extra cautious , other not doing well is not helping him. There comes a time when things dont go for u and its that sought of time and that where other have to take responsibility. Remember as captain he handled when other were in trouble so now other shud help their captain Thats where months ago we had this debate that he needs to step down n enjoy his game . But its to late for that now , unfair to give the next captain only 2 yrs. But he is still putting runs on board and he shouldnt be exactly our worry New guy, Rasgulla and sscomp32 2 1

Gambit Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Typical Dhoni knock. Flat lined the innings and then got out. New guy, maniac and Ironhide 3

That is a really idiotic thing to say without giving anyone a chance. And the same can be said for any legend. Sachin, Gavaskar, Kumble, no one should have retired ever as we did not have ready made legend as replacements.

So look for those who abused sachin fans blabla and go at them. Isn't Rohit senior player now ? Virat ? I don't see you complaining about them do I ? There is a difference between having a failure and losing matches singlehandedly...If Dhoni was out for a 0 or a string of 0's in his last few games,that would be failure but recently in the WI T20,This game,The ODI in Australia,The T20 in England he has been finishing games by that I mean ensuring loss is completed every single time tweaker and Ironhide 2
Ankit_sharma03 Posted October 20, 2016 Posted October 20, 2016 Ok Can someone tell me who why a post havent been created like Disgusting Rahane's innings (29 of 48 balls in powerplay with new ball against which stroke play is easy) Yes dhoni has not been at his best, yet he was our 2nd best bet in t20wc and even now, are we concerned about that or things going way worst. Every big international crciketer goes through this phase, even tendulkar had that phase and what about the legend steyn who has been on a downhill in LOI for last 2 yrs. Have we really forgotten the good n bad phases among a top cricketer's career. If our problem has been a guy whose lean phase still puts him the 2nd best bet , than we are on a wrong line If our problem is someone who batted slow with lower order batsman with old ball than someone with new ball who had top order players to company , we are lynch picking one player Lets make a thread -Digusting Rahane innings post and be fair, Lets make a thread - Poor opening combination of Rohit-dhawan in T20 season this year and be fair. Yes dhoni hasnt been able to do it for sometime but thats called a lean phase, to be honest i have seen lean phases shittier than this , This is still supreme as we have seen cricketers struggling to put bat on ball in lean phases sscomp32 and Rasgulla 2

You were once a sane poster but now you are just making more and more ridiculous excuses for Dhoni Give me a good enough reason for Dhoni to retire 1st. Show me Saha's perfomances to replace dhoni. Saha has been good but not even that much that u will replace him with dhoni who after kohli is bascially the backbone of Indian team. IF we keep retiring people on lean phases god help us. Talking about kumble n sachin read the circumstances they retired in- Kumble injured himself and was already struggling with shoulder problem for 2 yrs Sachin had a string of low scores in 2 yrs Dhoni was ur 2nd best batsman in T20wc, Played a gud knock in ind-wi game where he failed on one ball, Did well in Ind-Sa, Ind-bang So where has he failed so much that i ask him to retire, let him fail properly. He is still timing it well, running well, extremely fit . The problem is the mental adjustment which every cricketer needs time to time. sscomp32 and Rasgulla 2
