avkash Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Yeah Ganguly was awesome, but Dhoni is really good as well. He just does not show his emotions much. He handles pressure really well. His mind is very clear. I can quote two examples: 1. When India went for a tour after a very long break the reporters asked: How do you feel, he said that is up to you sir, if we win you would say we were fresh, if we lose you will say we were rusty. 2. When Pujara scored a double hundred he was asked if he is relieved and he said the real test is in a away tour. When Dhoni was asked he said that maybe Pujara is reading too many newspapers or seeing too many news shows. He should just enjoy the present and worry about the future when it comes. He just knows how to stay calm, some think it is his arrogance that he does not appear sad when we lose, but similarly he does not jump with joy when we win. He's cool.

AtheK Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 ya he is cool and witty when required, guy has got a good presence of mind. I loved the way he batted and led in Aus series. He looked really un interested in the ENG series, maybe the break helped, maybe he realized Test are as imp as ODI and T20, wtever happened, happened for good.

avkash Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 the team played bad then, the team played better this time. The captain does not play for 11 people, they play for thmeselves. Ganguly and Dhoni both always said the captain is as good as the team. Truer word have never been spoken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtheK Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Team def did not play well, but he as a player also looked very indifferent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avkash Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 yeah, but you gotta give it to him, he hardly ever plays bad, he is bound to have a quiet time as well. sometime. definitely. But am happy that he has bounced back well. Love to see him smile. Poor guy, at the age of 30 he looks like 40 with all his white hair and all. The pressure of being an indian captain is high.

Well PWI is the team who could not chase 130 odd, so RR has a good chance, but at this point PWI looks fav. @Aman: tumhare paas to predator hai bhai, but it should be a good match also pungi match on right now, so boring that my brother has slept mid-way Ya should be good fun, unfortunately we won't be able to play Murali there, but guess Vettori can step up.
