India completed the losing series in the T20. What was Dhoni is doing...? Is he totally mad...? On a track in the West Indies which helps quick bowlers a lot. So why he picking Piyush for Zaheer. We see the pitches in the Windies not helping spinners more. It helping only quality bowlers. So why he removing Zaheer....? Thats ok. After the 2nd wicket fall thats Gambhir India on a good score I think he will promote Yusuf. But he is promoting himself in the order and a complete batting failure from him 23 runs from 19 balls.....

Everything said and done, I don’t think we should blame Dhoni alone…everybody in this T20 World Cup tournament was a complete failure bringing shame and agony to the entire nation. Yes, being a captain, Dhoni has added responsibilities but none of the other players delivered except one or two and that was never enough. Even the bowlers didn’t do their job. To me, the entire team looked tired and jaded and I think we should throw some blame at BCCI for allowing the IPL to be held so close to the World Cup tournament. After all, the IPL is big money and in the hands of private owners, so naturally all the big national players gave more than their 100% to retain their place and earn handsome profit…playing for the nation obviously came second to them

Hi sudipta, You are right, it is BCCI which is culprit, They are only after money and it is Indian cricket which is suffering most. Instead of benefitting it is doing more harm only.But there is always other side of the coin. IPL has given youngsters to showcase their talent and to rub shoulder with best international players.What would have been appropriate according to me , they (BCCI) decide the timing for IPL , not just before T20 world cup , like this time. Four days time between the two event is not enough. Dhoni said in news also about parties, but he really targets BCCI for IPL,. IPL involves lot of money for everyone, so he is not saying directly, so he is indicating. Other seniors like Ravi Shastri crictizing Dhoni because they support BCCI for IPL , as they are in managing committee. They are getting money, so why they are going to say anything against BCCI or IPL. Shastri himself had played cricket and what he had done on his cricketing days , everybody knows. He is the player who got most of the time hooting from Audience then others. Now he is teaching. Shastri before saying anything look in the mirror.

First i must say that Dhoni alone should not be held resposible for India's poor show. Then about Zaheer khan , he was not taking any wickets and giving many runs in all the matches he played. Dhoni had limited options. And the team he was given is by the cricket board of India. It was piyush chawla who was chosen, then what's wrong in picking him if zaheer is out of form. Yusuf pathan too was not making runs . he had his share of opportunity but he too failed. Also Yuvarj , what he was doing , he was not fully fit , but he was in team. Why you want to make a player who is not fully fit. And how many runs he scored. In IPL , he was replaced as captain after first two season, If punjab is not considering him as captain , then why for indian team. In IPL too he failed with bat and bowl.On the other hand Dhoni reached 3 times semifinal, 2 times final and one time winner in IPL. This shows he is good captain, but the team he was given were not as good as needed in carribean pitches. So don't blame him

Its more an affinity for money than national pride. How could the BCCI allow IPL so close to the WC? Obviously most players have already given their best to IPL and they are tired and need a break…from the beginning of this WC, India never really stood any chance…none of the players were fit enough to compete for this tournament. To fill the pockets of the super rich and itself, BCCI has added much insult to the injury of common cricket lovers of India.

well i heard that zaheer was carrying some kinda injury.thats why they didnt play him. i agree with you .if you are promoting yourself up in the order,you should score runs at a much faster rate. by the way,if you had noticed,when comparing the strike rates of all indian players in the last match,dhoni's was the lowest.111.while harbhajan is better with 112. yusuf should have been in much quicker or atleast yuvi. you tell me. where was the captain who kept a fielder right behind the umpire in the thirty yard circle and a long off and asked the bowler to bowl full to get the wicket of keieron pollard in the IPL final? never saw anyhting like that in this tournament.

Yes where is that Dhoni of 2007 world cup,he made blunders again and again in the batting order and selection of the team which made us pay.The opening pair should have been changed immediately after the match with south Africa. also Nehra disappointing me very much.

I think the IPL success has gone to his head. Dhoni needs to be 'rested' and the selectors have the right thing by bringing in Suresh Raina as captain for the Zimbabwe series. They should have also 'rested' Rohit Sharma. He too is 'flat track bully'. Pepper him with short ball and he will not play the next match citing some 'injury' excuse!!!!

Hi, I was always very eager for cricket.But since last few seasons i have lost my temper absolutely.I now feel that we are wasting our time and burning our blood as we are expecting good and pure cricket from our cricketers. But most of the indian cricketers are making such mistakes that we are forced to think that they are fixed.They are interested only in big money.

When i tram win then all the credits you give to team but when they lost why you said that it's totally Captain fault. And i am sure Dhoni also want to win that's why change something. Cheer them for next series. Don't forget anything could be happened in cricket.
