@ udham. respect.

 

 

 

The cops are nailing everyone big time because they have found links that go straight to Pakistan & Dubai
The ones making money out of this are not businessmen
They are terrorists & underworld
Using the same money earned here against Indian destruction
What sreesanth & others hv done is worse then what Sanjay dutt did all those years ago

They are making money for terrorists

 

 

hmm.. makes sense if this is the angle.

I said Dhoni should leave India Cements, where he is employed as a VP.

Rest this:

 

 

Dhoni should quit the team because the team owner has betrayed his & other team mate's trust
Why would you work for a man who you don't trust anymore?!

Any official comments from Rahul Dravid? He should have resigned on moral grounds after his own team mates were caught in fixing. This doesn't go well with his so called "image". IPL is over and his statement should have come out by now.

 

 

Rahul Dravid should resign because his three team members are implicated. What logic is that? :lol:

 

In fact, Dravid gave most sensible comment:

“Truth always sets you free, that’s what I believe. I really hope that one gets to the bottom of it (the match-fixing allegations surrounding the IPL) and get the truth out, however painful it may be”.

 

Its all right, you have been blindly supporting CSK and Dhoni for ever, butthurt will cure with time. :)

 

 

 

Same logic which says Dhoni should leave because his so called "owner" is arrested for betting (not even fixing).

 

pwned like a boss, take my reps - here - all of them !!!!

That's the problem with this tournament. The names of the legends of the game are all being tarnished. Either because they are not able to perform well, or because of this shitstorm.

VVS Laxman became a joke by the time he left.

 

so if Laxman cannot be a good T20 player than it is the fault of T20 - bro, get well soon :lol:

CSK has been built around Dhoni, remember the post England and australia fiasco? The board had passed resolution to remove Dhoni from captaincy, but our MC Sri vetoed the resolution.

Apart from the betting incident, Sri should not have been allowed to continue as BCCI pres coz of his conflict of interest. Be the captaincy thing, or the selection of csk players in national team, there has always been bias.

I cannot believe that you think Dhoni was the reason for India's performance. He is only one player and can only bat once.Other 10 players need to bat and bowl for the team to win. Nobody played well on the tour.

 

I still cannot believe that you think that Dhoni should have been removed.

:doh: way to miss the point.

 

I hope you can understand what you wrote yourself, if you want then you are free to write it otherwise in a new post. I can only understand what you wrote and not what you thought.

 

this below is what you wrote:

I was not trying to say t20 is at fault.

My point is, the lure of big money and the IPL was too much, that they couldn't stay out. I'm sure VVS knew he wouldn't survive a day in this format. But still he came. Yes he earned money, sh*t loads, but lost respect.

dude if you're lured by money then you better perform, I mean if you want the money then you should play for it, deserve it.

secondly he did not even get so much money, he refused to become a zone player (first edition) which would have meant he got as much as the highest paid player for that team. He agreed to play for much less to make a better team.

lastly, if you think (you opinion not mine) that he lost respect by not performing well in IPL then don't force it on us.

 

personally I think he gained more respect, he sat out of the team without quitting, was seen helping younger players and cheered like kids, Respect from me.

nothing more fun than watching the match with Papa, but them awkward times when you go BC, MC :lol:

 

I remember many years ago watching an F1 race and throwing the remote when Hakkinen crashed. My Mom went all ballistic on me that time.

Seriously so people are here to judge whether Dhoni should quit VP position or not? WHAT? Now we know how companies are operated?

 

If I were Dhoni, I would still play for CSK and not quit it in this tough time. Sure, owner was terrible and a**hole but all he did was betting, but the players who played with him as a team are great and honest. So he should continue playing for them and fans. If he quits CSK now, he will come out as a coward.

 

And yeah, Srinivasan must quit or should be fired. Just like Sonia Gandhi quit as Congress head after her son in law Vadra was caught in corruption cases... Oh wait..

Dhoni's image should not be made on the basis of whether he quits or stays, he is in a job and he get's paid for it. He was bought by CSK, he has to play for them. If we wants to leave it is his personal choice. I really do not care if he leaves or not. He will still be the player that I love. Regardless of what his bosses do or did. J.P. Morgan was fined some $500 million in US for some fraud that somebody did, should all the employees resign now :lol:

 

secondly Sonia is not on the committee that will inspect Vadra, even if she was and she did not resign, that does not make it correct.

@Rock Lee: I vaguely remember you mentioning about a ignore list! Man, where do I find that option?!! Honestly, some of the comments and views about MSD and CSK are getting outright stupid by the hour!
