MS Dhoni - Still to Captain?

S Satish

Yeah thats the talk that has caught the media's attention. There is too much on Mahi the Captain Cool.
I have drawn a few observations from the recent T20 debacle. '

First, MSD can be blamed for everything. Of course he could have carried guns on the field to sack Oz bowlers but failed to deliver. Nevertheless not to curse.

Second, the players in Total should be matured to put Team INDIA before their franchises save players like Suresh Raina, Ashish Nehra, Praveen Kumar. The other players especially Bhajji and Zaheer plays like real professionals when they do for Mumbai Indians. But when it comes to INDIAN team they are taking their postions for granted.

Third, the BCCI should also be a little sensible to put IPL after the World level games which ultimately matters when it comes to the Nation because I personally feel that the IPL shatters the players' rapport.

Fourth, INDIAN TEAM itself looked like they were playing as Individuals and not as a team. Atleast to me it looked like they were not in good bonding.

Lastly, the selection could have been a little lenient towards the newcomers. I was personally sad for not picking Amit Mishra, Robin Uthappa, Ashok Dinda, Pragyan and Naman Ohja instead of Yusuf, Rohit, Zaheer, Harbhajan, Murali Vijay.

But my strong opinion is that sacking MSD as captain could put TEAM INDIA into pieces. Will pay the price forever. He has been the best captain for INDIA and will continue to be and keep taking INDIA to the world's best team.

MY MESSAGE TO OTHER PLAYERS: Please take a look at the Pakistanis or the Proteas. They are playing like real dangerous sides. I would atleast wish you fight a tough battle and still lose it doesn't matter. But this T20 campaign was not upto the kind of effort you all put. But as a fan I am still with the team and I'm sure that they will be the champions in the time ahead.

For an international team like india it is not right for them to say that their only strenth is batting and ignor their bowling performance,As we have many good talented players-like Vinaykumat,mishra,ojha & many apart from our regular bowlers,then i dont know why Dhoni is keep on insisting that Indian bowling attack is weak and hency they r relying on batting alone.We won 2007 world cup only becoz our bowling department supported us well.A bowling performance
like in our last do or die match against srilanka was very poor.In an important match lik this and giving away 13 runs in d last
over by Nehra is really Unforgivable.When we see other team bowlers including new bowlers performances and comparing with our
bowlers who have proved themselves individually well,then it is very disappointing and their attitude and commitment towards Indian is realy questionable....?
