Nemo Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 true that udham. although i doubt dhoni will stick around for more than 2 years. if he is as smart as they say, he would retire from tests after a few home series wins and will end up having the best and inflated record as a captain. seriously, i feel we have regressed in tests under dhoni. ganguly was a far better leader. we always won at home but under ganguly we were potent abroad as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Right Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 (edited) What appalls me most is that he is affirming that Indians can't play in the conditions not tailor made for them. Despite winning the match he is giving mouthful to groundsmen that pitch didn't remain helpful enough to bundle out England in the 2nd inning in the manner it did in the first. If India had gone down, he probably would've got the groundsmen fired or something. Rather than praising Englishmen for putting up the fight, he is pissed that his bowlers had to sweat it out. Again, noone expects Indians to win every single match abroad, it's the abject surrender and showing lack of application which bother most. And they need to put up a brave face in the defeat, not whining like sore losers they are turning into. Edited November 20, 2012 by Udham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 agree about dhoni being a sore loser, and not the good kind of sore loser where one yearns for a re-match and punishes himself for losing, he is the kind who will whine and give out excuses after excuses for not doing well instead of manning up and admitting that opposition were better and/or his team was just shitty on that day. i still remember he blamed rain for the defeat against aus in the recent t20 wc. it rained (if you can call a light drizzle a rain) for less than 5 mins during the innings change that day, in sri lanka where average temperature is in high 30s, on a pleasant day !

AtheK Posted November 20, 2012 Report Share Posted November 20, 2012 Yup Dhoni has been losing his brain as a captain way too much now, be it team selection, be it talking to Media. He is not doing it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Boss Posted November 22, 2012 Report Share Posted November 22, 2012 Must read article: http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/content/current/story/592425.html The best way to know how Virender Sehwag's mind works is to sit next to him in the players' balcony when India are batting. Every few minutes he will clutch his head and yell, "Chauka gaya" or "Chhakka gaya". That's his way of expressing disappointment at somebody's failure to take advantage of a ball that he thought deserved to be hit for four or six. That's how he thinks, in fours and sixes."Sourav Ganguly, in a Wisden Asia Cricket piece "Jeremy Snape told me a great story about him while we were working together in the Indian Premier League. Sehwag and Snape were batting for Leicestershire against Middlesex when Abdul Razzaq started reverse-swinging the ball in the way that the Pakistan bowlers do. Sehwag came up to Snape and said: 'We must lose this ball. I have a plan.' Next over, he whacked that ball clean out of the ground, forcing the umpires to pick another from the box that would obviously not reverse straight away. To which Sehwag said: 'We are all right for one hour.' Smart, I say."Shane Warne, in his list of his top 100 cricketers Sehwag if improves his English, can make a fantastic commentator.
