Dhoni and the cricket players in India should spend more time practicing, not advertising. BCCI should allow them for ads only on Saturday/Sundays, afterall they are paying huge salaries to them

Half of the thrill and excitement has gone out of this t20 competition with because the men in blue bring so much to the game that the fans will miss in the knock out stage.
I will cheer for India,except when they play against Pakistan.They really are a good team Indian fans must be patient bcoz this team can still bring lot of good for India

Gopi, Noodles and puneet,

I think Dhoni did everything right, right from winning the toss n chosing to field 1st,

153 in 20-20 format! Indian bowlers really did wel, n mind u dhoni did not use any part time bowler like Yuvi, rohit or pathan...

The reason for not getting a target of 153 could be only one thing that our batting did not perform, atleast one among Gambhi, Raina or Rohit should have gone for hitting... Or I say Englad bowlers did a really good job..? (dont think so)

Dhoni took some risks and they back fired, so whats the big deal..? These risks have won India so many titles... Remember when India with totally unexperienced team, went to SA for 2007 20-20 WC..? Dhoni was heading then n what happens in the end, India wins the 1st TT WC...

N guys finally, if anyone here thinks if he ws in the place of Dhoni in the last WC's final match, would have given the final over to Joginder Sharma when misbah ws batting..?!!

Thats zigara..! MSD sure hs one...

N who ever thinks, MSD should quit... I gotta say only one stuff... Grow up losers..!

It is a fault of negative attitude of our players. Dhoni himself confessed that he had left the hopes when he came into the middle. We needed 69 off 34 balls that time. We scored 65 off those 34 balls. We could have won the match if both batsmen would have smashed at least 2 sixes in the last over of Swann. Anyway letz hope for success in windies tour with players going ahead with high morale and positive attitude.

Deception01, U dont seem to know anything about cricket..
Changing the batting order doesnt play with opposition's minds, but it plays with our player's m,inds..nobody knows what their role is in the team..

U dont need 5 bowlers in T20..

Idiot, u say Rohit Sharma gave good starts except in Super8...
Before Super8 India only played Ireland and Bangladesh..if u call that good, then god help u..Rohit Sharma cant even hold his bat properly against good teams..he can play well only in IPL where there is no pressure..

U look at Ishant Sharma's performance in warmup matches...fuck off..warmup matches cant be used to judge performances..Ishant is too hyped and doesnt deliver when required

lasner — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 03:07:38 -0000

dhoni is the worst batsmen i have seen in my life . even ishant and rp singh plays well than dhoni. The only thing which suits 4 dhoni style of play is test cricket that also he is not doing well. Its better 4 india that dhoni retires as early as possible. dhoni is a ball eating machine which decreases runrate n increases pressure on other batsmen. i hate dhoni.

Whatever may be the point...it boils down to only one word>>>complacency...
They played as though they get nothing out of this match..

Just watch last edition of T20 Cup, the way they played aggressively against teams like Australia and South Africa...compare this with this year...its not even 10% of what they played last year...

They played as though they will be awarded the Cup this year whatsoever...

Stop the IPL first...its killing the players and also takes the sheen out of international fixtures like the World Cup...and that idiot is taking about hosting 2 IPLs....ridiculous!!!!

No use in blaming individuals when the entire system is at fault...

I think we all must send a Thanks letter to Mr. Lalit Modi for two successes in a row : 1) Successful completeion of IPL 2009 and 2) successful tharshout of Team India in ICC T20 World Cup. But he shud be a happy man coz his ego is satisfied that he organized the IPL and also coz he has earned with open hands in IPL 2009. The players and BCCI will never blame IPL coz there pockets and mouths are full of money they got from IPL but we cannot rule out the poor show by the Indian team in ICL T20 World Cup. Don't u think so ???

Also can Mr. Lalit Modi answer y he dint donate such huge amounts to charity last year when IPL was held in India??? Is he having some hidden relations with SA or he only wants his name ???

Both these points clearly indicate the affection of GR8 Mr. Lalit Modi and the whole Money minded BCCI towards there own nation.

Guys, Every one blaming Dhoni... thats his fate today... please remember he is the only captain apart from Kapil Dev who got a World cup for India... May be people see from current perspective, he is not doing well with the bat... I accept that... but people should remember one thing... even the best of the teams could not do well with out a thinking captain... I hope this bad phase of his career goes out soon... I always hail his thinking and cool mind... and I believe he will be the only one who can lead Team India to better heights... sorry if i hurt any one's comments...

Dhoni plays a very important role in taking Indian Team to one of their disastrous defeat. Dhoni has initially made a statement that Indian Team is not good at defending the title. This statement itself shows the morale and spirit of the team. If the Captain of the Ship makes such statement, then think about the fate and spirit of the Sailors. If you are of that Mind, you should not have gone to play T20 at the first place.
With West Indies match, Dhoni played an important role in letting off the wicket of Bravo and allowed Mr. Bravo to play the brave knock in winning the match.
With England match, Dhoni won the toss. In such a crucial and do-or-die match, when you won the toss, you should bat first and try to put high score, which will put pressure on the opponent team. Recall the last year T20 match, we piled up high score, which put England in pressure and we won the match. This is past and now in the recent game, we were too lucky to restrict England to a modest score of 153 otherwise, they would have pile up a huge score around 180 to 190, then what will happen to our Indian batting line up. Another thing to consider is that, when you are playing such T20 game, not only you, every team will try to use their strongest weapon as early as possible. Dhoni, you should have allowed Yuvraj Singh or Yousuf Pathan at top order rather than sending Ravinder Jadeja at the top order, who scored 20 odd runs from 35 balls, which cannot be compared with the batting standard of Dravid. On the other hand, Ravinder Jadeja got a good chance to confirm his place in Indian Team and to show the State that he got good cricketing brain and he has not utilised the same, for which he will regret.

We lost only because of Dhoni useless form, Not his captaincy. He has lost his touch for a long time now. He din hit 1 6 in the last match and 11 of 23 lol wat is he digging for diamond in SA.?

hello, friends do not blame dhoni because win and loss are part of game. sometimes it happens like in last world cup joginder sharma had done very good bowling in last over of final match.In this wc our opening was not good so the coming players was played in the pressure.

Re: Cricbuzz.com: I feel sorry for Dhoni, says Smith

sureez — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 22:19:08 -0000

STOP to Comment about dhoni. He is the better player than karthik but he was not performed well in this tour. leave it and think about others. Its not a single man game like tennis we need team spirit. Lord's is not a small ground it has a boundry above 92m but other ground are avg 72m. Is this correct???? so that jadeja cant hit boundry, he was a hard hitter.....

Re: Cricbuzz.com: I feel sorry for Dhoni, says Smith

sureez — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 22:13:03 -0000

Last 2007 T20 dinesh karthik was failed to bat. how do you think he did in this T20.

Re: Cricbuzz.com: I feel sorry for Dhoni, says Smith

sureez — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 22:09:43 -0000

Come on dhoni. i know u can do it next time.
Who r all commenting that we defeated because of dhoni is foolish. Fools only talk like this. First you take a history of dhoni captainship. we won srilanka, england, australia sequencially. is any captain done like this. no one. Those r the record done by indian team. Game has both side lossing and winning. Loss is a steping stone of success.

some one told jadeja makes big mistake. also replace yuvi by jadeja in 2 down. Think like this ifff yuvi out means we were 30/3 and we loss 3 hitters(r.sharma,raina,yuvi) cause thats a situation we need to stand. I know jadeja made a big mistake that he didnt score well in this tour but thats not mistake of dhoni. jadeja was a big hitter in rajasthan.

ICC made terrible thing. Lord's has a boundry line more than 92m. some ground has 64m at natiigam. is this correct we need same distance on each ground. ICC should made same distance. Other games like football,baseball has same distance on each ground why not cricket......

Sachin Tendulkar — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 22:01:35 -0000

I think whenever Dhoni goes to bat he thinks of just taking singles. and to do that he fails to hit boundary even in bad balls. he must learn from Yuvraj, who plays natural game and hit the ball as required and with no predetrmination.
Dinesh Kartik is certainly a much better player. I liked his game when he used to play under-19. He keeps the wicket better, more enegatic and responsible player unlike dhoni.
This T-20 world cup will be remember as dhoni's mistakes. First he didn't give chance to Raina in the warm matches by coming at no. 3 himself. Second he din't give bowling to Raina and Rohit Sharma, who bowled exceptionally well in IPL. they were not even tried once.
Is Dhoni jealous of other's better performace and deliberately tried to spoil these players?

I am strongly agreed with Gary Kristen comment about IPL, it will effect mentally and physically about the players and I am totally disagreeing for Dhoni’s resign from the Captaincy. Every team has a good and bad face … what about the last Word cup … it was the complete team effort. Have you seen any team effort this year … I am not agreeing about this comment? If you want to verify with Dinesh Kartik, I am totally disagree I has enough talent to be in front of Dhoni. I am totally disagreeing about the team selection and the betting line up for the team. You should put Yuvi bit upper slide with Yusuf Pathan and you feel from last 2 to 3 matches, Ishant is not performing, why you have Ishant in the team. I would say, team selection is the big factor and few decisions which took India out of the rid.

I feel very bad not because we are out from tournament but the thing is that we didnot play well it seems there were no co-ordination among player,no game plan.3 run defeat I am not able to diggest even runs are not that much big only 153 its really bad.We have 5 wickets in hands but Mr. Dhoni didnot play well I donot know what he was trying to do might be he wanted to improve his avg.
