Dhoni slams batsmen for playing to the gallery

A good captain according to me who can motivate his team not start fighting between team mates, not the one who always insert his favorite players inside team.

Sourabh Ganguly start killing spirit in team India he found new talent like yuvraj, gambhir even dhoni ....

What ??? Are you saying that a Team Spirit was there in the times of Azaruddin ?? U must be kidding . The last to captains - Saurav and Dhoni are undoubtedly the best India has had.
 
Interesting isn't it people in india tend to make dhoni heroic when he does well and indian team wins but today when he boldly accepted the reality and confessed something that everyone is talking about now you guys are saying dhoni is not a good captain blah blah

How quickly you can lift and drop someone .

You should have given him credit that he won you so much matches as a captain and personally without any animosity i always like dhoni as a captain very emotionally controlled person doesnot get over-excited like most of indian clowns do without any reason .and you know whom i mean by this in lights of Sreesanth and harbajhan always excited for nothing

Yesterday every player was just coming and going by playing blind shots and dhoni was the one sticking to the crease

Come on guys you should give dhoni some credit

that's the problem with the whole subcontinent, when you expect much from any individual then such things are bound to happen. We know how you guys feel about Kamran Akmal after Pakistan-New Zealand match ;)

He was much concerned about keeping his average intact, then what justifies him giving strikes to Munaf Patel and Asish Nehra?

First of all about kamran akmal ,its not the first time he has done so rather he is doing this poor stuff for 2 good years now rather even more than 2 years and we never appreciated what he has done with gloves so far ,every member here wants his replacement for so long now its just the PCB who is acting as culprit so no question regarding that

I don't know much about dhoni not taking strike as i was not watching at that time to be honest ,if that was the case that he delibrately was no taking strike then he is also the one to blame for

But i wouldn't get too surprised by that coz the way indian public glamorize their cricketers from endorsements to everything they just blindly follow their players so in such situation anyone can tend to play for gallery rather than playing for country or playing like team as a whole
 
he should slam his bowlers if they cant defend any total waht can bowlers do 300 plus runs is even not enough for indian team and they say that india is top contender im sorry to navjot cockroach that he should think 100000000 times before say india is top contander any minow bowling attack is far far far better than indian bowling attack
 
Whatever, Dhoni lose his batting skills now. He is now just a very ordinary, not a threat to opposition bowlers

Winning World Cup will remain a dream for Dhoni: Dean Jones
IANS | Mar 13, 2011, 06.05pm IST

MELBOURNE: Former Australian cricketer Dean Jones feels that for Indian captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, winning the World Cup will remain a dream.

In his column in The Age, Jones pointed out that history is very important to cricketers.

"It tells us what we did wrong and what we did right in the past. There have been nine World Cups and those World Cup champion teams do not lie about the composition and skills required to win," he said.

"The three main common denominators consistent with all World Cup champion teams are: Your top four batsmen must be of a high quality. They must have the technique to play the new ball, as well as have the power and stroke play during Powerplays. They also must have the fitness to bat through the whole 50 overs. Your top four bowlers must be of high quality, able to absorb pressure and bowl defensively in Powerplays. If you can't field, don't bother turning up!" he said.

"All this taken into account, I do not believe India will win the World Cup with its current form. Everyone here has a huge regard for the Indian team. They have the batsmen, no doubt. Tendulkar and Sehwag can rip any attack to shreds. But that alone doesn't win the World Cup," he said.

Jones said that Dhoni's bowling line-up comprising Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Piyush Chawla and Harbhajan Singh doesn't look as good as any of the line-ups of the previous teams.

"Dhoni wants seven specialist batsmen and four specialist bowlers. Having seven batsmen tells me that India doesn't trust its 'engine room' to make the runs required. By having four bowlers, it means that everything must go right or they are in deep trouble. What happens if one is injured? Or one gets smashed," he asked.

"India have struggled to bowl out Bangladesh and England. Ireland troubled them, but Dhoni won't budge. India's main weakness is the form of Chawla and Harbhajan. Chawla is being smashed and was brought in by the strong backing of Dhoni after two years in obscurity. There are three leg-spinners who have won World Cups: Mushtaq, Warne and Brad Hogg. Is Chawla as good as those three? No, he isn't," he said.

Jones also said that Harbhajan's form is also an added worry for Dhoni.

"Harbhajan has struggled in all World Cups and has only taken six wickets in eight matches against the Test countries at an average of 58. His 10 overs are going for around 50," he said.

"The team needs the attitude to get wickets and not just defend. Getting wickets always stops the run-rate. Its fieldsmen must look for run-outs and want the ball in the field."



Cricket World Cup: Winning World Cup will remain a dream for Dhoni: Dean Jones
 
we r repeating same mistakes in every match i.e relying on batting only.
no improvement in bowling
 
A final word on why India lost the match. Because the players were too busy singing this:

Zaheer bowled really well while Yuvi and Bhajji is good. I don't think bowling need anything more. But the fourth bowler Chawla/Munaf/Nehra is creating the problems.
 
everyone is talking about batting collapse against S.A, that kind of collapse happens very few times. but what about bowling, they can't defend totals like 296 & 338. what to expect from batsmen now 500 runs???????
 
they need to work on there bowling because the type of bowlers they have are only suitable on seeming wickets because on flat tracks they don't have that much pace or bounce to create a chaos in opposition's line-up ,neither they are much exploited to reverse swing . i think india should made seeming wickets that will give bowlers some edge don't worry that much about batting as its their strength
