True he keeps giving chances to raina and jadeja while keeping players like rahane and irfan on bench.

yeah Jadeja will again be in the playing 11 in the t20 wc :doh:

 

I like raina though :fear:

i also don't like csk.. But i know the reason :P Primary reason being that whoever does well in that side dhoni pushes him to the Indian team and wen he fails he stubbornly keeps on backing him.. Thats why I pray that csk doesn't do well ..

Example- jadeja .. We lost the the t20 world cup cause of his awesome bowling

 

For your information when t20 world cup happened, Jadeja was not in Chennai super kings. We love CSK just because the team is representing Chennai, not because of Dhoni or Raina. Even Dhoni or raina goes out, we will support CSK.

I can accept this for Jadeja not for Raina, Raina has proven enough atleast in limited overs games.

 

As far as Rahane to come, some one from the opening slot should be out. i hope everyone knows who it is.

Raina has done nothing in.last 10-15 matches he is in team.for his reputation.

 

Anyway it is team dhoni now and not team india anymore so he decides.

You can't expect him to score 50 every match, he comes in at almost 6th down after dhoni, with hardly few overs to spare where he has to come and hit. He has done well in those situations.

 

But i accept when there are too many wickets down at the starting, then he should have played long innings.

In last match he was back in form :samui:

 

Just one game wont make a difference

The worst thing is he plays as a batsman not as a allrounder..In CSK games he hardly bowls...

Oh Please Sachin still is a way better batsman than raina , rahane and any other new guy..

 

And yup sachin has to go out of odi team now...he can carry on in test for sometime but should call off his odi career

 

:ack:

Whats wrong with you :rant:

Not all the pavilion tickets are hospitality stands.

No idea about other grounds but in the Chepauk pavilion there's always a nice spread by Taj.

Going by your logic of picking players purely on form, maybe we should drop Kohli, who has done f**k all of late, as well.

 

Love the hate that CSK gets; it's basically the IPL equivalent of ABU. The number of haters is quite a reliable metric of success in sport.

I dunno man, its very difficult to like that team. Srinivasan has been bending the rules since its inception. Hell, he wasn't even eligible to own a team being a bcci official. He was instructed by court to give up either the franchise or position at BCCI, he did nothing. Jadeja, Raina, Ashwin and Vijay keep finding/holding the spot in the national team despite average performances.

Is he paying them by giving the international spot in kind, one can suspect that easily.

 

Entire thing seems skewed in the CSK favour, they host openings/finals...retentions, transfers all as decided by srinis own set of rules. They f**k with franchises like RR cuz they can. Its just ludicrous.

Dropping well established players on IPL form is just stupid.Raina hasn't done well in pressure situations in the Tri-series and Asia cup except for the 320 chase match against Sri Lanka.There is a case for review of his performance but for now he should be in the team.

Fringe players like Yusuf and Jadeja can be judged for their IPL performances though.

Oh, yes, of course. Don't mix international and circus cricket but pick Rahane based on form in circus cricket. Totally makes sense, Mr. Hypocrite.

Firstly Jadeja has joined CSK only this season. Secondly, whom do you suggest should play for India ahead of Ashwin? Like most other Indian captains, Dhoni has his favourites. Gony had no business playing for India but he did. But it's not only CSK players, there are others — RP Singh comes to mind. But it's been far worse earlier There was a period when Ganguly kept dropping Kumble in favour of Bhajji, FFS.

The location of the finals is the home ground of the defending champions. Opening matches are dictated by previous IPL &/or Champions League winners (ergo CSK vs. MI this year). On the face of it, transfers seem to be pretty transparent and auctions receive blanket media coverage. And what did Srinivasan do to RR?
