  1. Yes but Sachin is injured Saurav should be in the team and Uthappa should be out Saurav's ODI's average etc. prove him better


  2. i think he wants the young player like yousuf pathan,goni,to play who had played good cricket in ipl &this tournoment will give them expirence to become prepare for world cup&sachin,sourav had played enough cricket it is rest time for them

  3. Yes i hope so he is.If he exclude them then i hope so his game will may win but not in high scores.Ofcourse many great players are there but i hope so they are the first. They are very good players .So it is wrong to exclude them.

  4. Given that the Captain gets blamed for a team's failure;

    He (or she) has the right to pick whoever they think will do the best for the team.

  5. A player's selection is based on his form and fitness.

    ganguly and sachin are great players indeed , but they are not consistent and are performing in patches. and sourav's fitness is very poor. they must retire from ODI's and concentrate on test matches ,  where mental toughness and a lot of skill is required. Dhoni has made a right decision at the right time.

  6. In a manner, yes

    in other ways, no

    He excluded Sourav because of his form.

    Sachin was never excluded. He is injured.

  7. Dhoni isn't intentionally excluding great players.

    In the IPL, Sourav has not been consistent with his performance. Sometimes he scored and sometimes he didn't. He needs reliable players on the team to succeed. I believe it was a correct decision on Dhoni's behalf.

  8. no.not at all,IF DHONI S SO THEN HE WILL ELIMINATE YUVI TOOOOOOOOO.HE WANTS OUR TEAM TO WIN .SACHIN IS INJURED.GANGULY IS NOT PLAYING WELL LIKE BEFORE.SO DHONI"S JUDGEMENT IS CORRECT

  9. Sachin can come and go as he likes. He commands that position. And Dhoni cannot touch him.

    But Dhoni has put Sourav is a corner.

    Dhoni has no respect for seniors. He openly said "seniority" means nothing to him.

    Go to NDTV.com for that interview.

  10. no i dont dhoni is wrong because sachin and saurav now are in form dat they can win match.although if dis people r stil in the team how talented youngester can *** and show there talent.wat they r they had already shown in ipl.sachin was retired hurt in ipl but he still played for ipl for money now indian team r gong to play test match he is telling he cant play. y that is selfishness.he is playng for himself not for the team india.dhoni is correct and i respect him ok

  11. firstly,sourav is not a great player.perform or perish.how long will u have old men....y shud a young dynamic captain who can gel the team well need non performing seniors anyway...

  12. Yes, I am of the opinion that Dhoni is indeed misusing his powers as a captain in order to sack his seniors. But Dhoni hasn't sacked Sachin. It's Sachin's injury which has prevented him from joining the ODI squad. Dhoni doesn't have the power to even think of dropping Sachin. Sourav and Dravid are the 2 players, who have been meted out a very unfair treatment by Dhoni. Inspite of performing better than many of the youngsters in IPL, Sourav dada, and Dravid has been dropped. The selectors have once again proved that they are nothing but a bunch of jokers, as they allowed themselves to become puppets in Dhoni's hands.

    Dhoni hasn't learned how to respect experience & talent. He is a shrewd manipulator, and he feels threathened by Ganguly's presence. He is unwilling to provide dada a chance, because he is afraid that Sourav might outshine him in his performance. Everyone knows that if given a chance, Ganguly can prove his worst critics wrong. I have no more words to criticize this utter discrimination. But Dhoni's youth of which he boasts of so much will also not last forever. While misusing his powers, Dhoni never once  considers that youth fades away with time, but experience and skill remain forever.

  13. no,Dhoni makes his power to making a strong & young India team.Beacause,He loves India.

  14. ya!.. dhoni is great player and good captain.He use his power to correct way,but sachin and sourov is more than the dhoni,because he's are most power and experience player.

  15. First of all sachin is injured, and to be honest know one will ever dare to drop the legend that is sachin. Dhoni himself knows not to mess with sachins place.

    If age had nothing to do with it then, ganguly and dravid will easily get into the one day side, but dhoni is ageism. When the world cup arrives at 2011, then sachin, ganguly and dravid will be 38, which is where a lot of people have retired. Lara retired at 38, imran khan at 42 ect...

    So thereotically ganguly, dravid and sachin might still be playing at 2011 world cup, Dhoni is delusional. and sooner or later that slimey smirk on his face will disappear quite soon. He knows without sachin in his one day side, he is fucke*

  16. Yes,he is & he will face the music one day.Sourav is a legend & has proven himself several times.He may not be a gud fielder but his batting,balling & sheer presence in team makes big difference.In past one year he has given several match winning performances both in tests & one days.

    Dhoni is a kid when it comes to cricket.He doesnt have any technique & is disaster in tests.Moreover,he is going Greg Chappel way of saying we are preparing for World Cup & everyone knows the results.

    The power of Experience can never be ignored.One should not forget that people like Sachin,Saurav & Rahul have given their life to cricket & earned their place unlike present day cricketers who get highlighted by media on single day performances.

  17. i think dhoni want to make a young indian generation team which is have dynamic power .he want to new face becuse he believe young player .but he dont know that in test crlcket and 50over match is not complet without expert player.so he ignore senior player like sachin,saurav and rahul.

  18. No. Dhoni is not using his power to select the team.  there is seperate selection commitee which is selecting the team by taking thier fitness and past record so far, whatever the team the selection commitee is giving Dhoni is  utlising it for the best of the game that it.

  19. ya.. he is selecting wrong team. right now everything is going well. i dont see any class players like dravid,sachin and ganguly in the team.cant see next dravid,sachin or ganguly in the team.

  20. I think if Dhoni is doing this intentionally so as to show off him as the whole and soul of Indian cricket, then its wrong but otherwise  if his decision is performance based then it seems to be reasonable. So it wholly depends on Dhoni's intentions because T20 IPL has brought so many new names in Indian cricket limelight..

  21. i think, your question is wrong! Sachin is still there in the team, whereas Saurav is different case! It may possible, you will see him in team India again!

    But, off course, giving chance to new comers will be helpfull for the team, when we are preparing for 2011.

  22. No yaar don't think so...I mean Sachin is injured so he is not coming but dunno about Saurav and btw he alone is not responsible for the selection...many people together select the ODI squad!!

  23. Dhoni is looking for future.If he don't use his power in selecting the right guys,we wouldn't have won the tri series in australia.

    And our young team is getting prepared for the world cup.

    Remember what happened in the last world cup.Though we had    champions in our team we could not made it to even second round.

    Individual is not greater than game.

    For the benfit of indian cricket we have to encourage his selection and courage.

  24. Noway,dhoni wants to check all yungsters in this series for his upcoming turnaments

    He wants to now that how much passion is their in the young player  for cricket Or they only come to earn money through Advertisment

  25. Not for a minute. He has to choose a good squad and if this means past heroes have to be dropped, sidestepped call it what you will, that's fair enough for me. He has to look forward, the game is not what it used to be, it's utter h**l  today! The competitiveness and expectation is much higher, more demanding and almost an everyday event these days. Besides, greats like Imran Khan too was made to take a backseat and did it with great equanimity. So let the likes of Sachin, Saurav, Laxman, Dravid etc reflect on their past glory and not endeavour to influence the new captain and the new players. There will not be one player in the present selection list who will be around seven years down the road, they would have been burned out. And that should tell you something, no?

  26. Ya compltly.Though Sachin is injurd but Saurav was in a good form.He was removd at the prime of his form.Evn Dravid showd a new dimension in IPL.                              

      I dont kno why he is doing this.Prhaps to get power,ads and of course bollywood heroines.He doesn want comptetion

      We shd understnd dat exprience cant be neglected.It is like nourishin a tree for yrs and then cuttin it jus b4 it gets ripe 2 gv fruits.

    By the way the australia triseries victry was due 2 sachins form nd not dhonis young brigade.I don remembr ven was d last time he becam man of the match aftr becmin captain in ODI

  27. No dear, Dhoni is building a new team of new players for World Cup 2011! Senior player 've to retire, they can't be in the team forever....so lets look towards the future & not towards the past!

    And why the h**l are u blaming Dhoni for excluding Dada & Sachin? Remember it was Dilip Vengsarkar's (chief selector of India) decision to choose a new team!

  28. May be!!If Dhoni will sucessful with team of youngstars then its allright. But if he fails todo so then he has to face so many mouths  asking why he have not prefered experienced players?

  29. One thing is for sure that Dhoni likes younger players over older players, but in case of Sachin he won't have a say in the selection because only Sachin can drop himself from the squad. Ganguli plays well but so are other younger players and therefore Dhoni has been able to convince the selectors of his own choice of a player in place of Ganguli. I am a big fan of dada but as they like is cruel and the old leaves must make room for the new.

  30. Yes...Dhoni is using his power in a wrong way. Only Sachin can drop himself, no doubt about that. Sourav is in bad form, but what about Dravid...he was the only in-form batsmen for the bangalore team in the IPL. If Dhoni wants a young team, He could have taken Asnodkar, Goni into the playing eleven. Dhoni wants the same team he got for the T-20 worldcup. He doesnt want changes. He doesnt care for youth either...he needs the same God-d**n team and he is afraid of the changes in the team.

  31. Whether he is or not , he must remember that like in cricket or life , form & favour is not permanent. Class is proved over the years and the 2 gentlemen you have named have done so beyond a doubt. What is the guarantee that he will be around in 2011, leave aside building a team for 2011 that people are talking about ? We don't even know who the captain of the Indian team is going to be next year or the next series...
