Ram Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 As an individual contributor, MSD is still easily good enough to hold a place in the ODI side atleast for the next 15-18 months (he should definitely quit T20s. Barring the odd resurgence, he has proven himself to be an average to below average batsmen in that format). Having said that, it maybe better for the collective good of the Indian team if he chooses to exit the Indian team sooner rather than later. With his fame, fortune and past successes, Its obvious that he is one of those guys with a Sachin type aura around. After one of his many Man of the match/Man of the series award presentation interviews, the host asked Ashwin to explain the recent rebound in his test bowling and in a remarkable moment of candor, Ashwin said something along the lines of 'Well, i dont want to dwell on the past, but the previous regime had a certain way of doing things and it affected me..', while the new test captain Kohli looked on. MSD is one of India's top 10 cricketers of all time... He's a national treasure and hero.. but its time for him to distance himself from the current indian team. And btw, I am almost 99% sure that he will quit ODIs either at the end of this year or early next year. Mosher, tweaker and Lord 3 Link to comment

Agree fully, very well put, people who R logical will get it, Dhoni is past his sell by date n playing longer when he has lost his skills he is hurting his legacy n more his team Edited November 7, 2016 by MCcricket Link to comment

SUMO Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 we cant blame dhoni because to replace him a solid wicket keeper batsman should emerge...and only contenders were --- good strikers --- samsom (didn't live up to the expectations) ankush bains ( plays for weak team not under selecters radar...no A tours ) naman ojha ( as old as dhoni ) so even 30-35 averaging dhoni will be our best in the country ... forget 50 averaging ATG match winner dhoni rishab pant has emerged ... lets wait for his first ranji season to end sandeep and tweaker 2 Link to comment
maniac Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 ^ How do we know Samson didn't live up to expectations when he was on the bench even against Zimbabwe etc, in dead rubbers? The guy was playing some outstanding knocks against quality bowlers in the IPL year after year.....Yeah yeah it is IPL it is a joke etc etc but shouldn't that be a criteria to atleast get into the T20 squad? especially in a format captain cool is being sucking the life of the team for a long time.

Batting at 6 most times where ull enter mostly in last 10 overs. Being out of the game for sometime as compare to other team members who were well in touch and match practice. Still he has played on good inning over Rohit , rahane, pandey, jadhav who have been coming into series with a lot of cricket in recent times. Sachin tendulkar avg 17 in whole 2003 in test cricket wud u have called for his head to. 17 is way worst than 28 and he didnt have the responsibility of captaincy n WK either. 32,31,31 this is gautam gambhirs avg as opener in test in 2010,2011,2012 didnt he get that extra time . With every player i can pick that bad yrs......... What are you talking about? Where did I say that he should not play ODIs??? Read my posts again. I am questioning his captaincy overall. I think he deserves to continue playing ODIs (as a number 4 batsman, but not anything lower than that). I don't think he should be playing T20s as we should try someone newer like Pant there. If he reconsidered playing Tests, I would still prefer him over Saha. But as for captaincy, I think his captaincy has hit rock bottom. tweaker 1 Link to comment
