Dhoni is saying this- " We are looking for batsmen to
play at Nos 5, 6 and 7”. Till they play there, we won’t know who is a good
bet over there". Who is stopping you, Mr Dhoni- those who deserve the
chance to bat at these numbers Gurkeerat Singh Mann and Yuvraj Singh are not
tried at all by you. If Gaungly did not pick you in the eleven , he would have
kept looking here and there like you. He found Yuvraj, Dhoni ,Sehwag and you
are leaving behind Jadeja, Raina and Bhuvneshwar Kumar as your finds.
I have been admirer of Dhoni due to his sacrificing nature, never playing for numbers. Respect grew when he retired at peak from Tests unlike other Indian Batsman, but off-late he has been very disappointing. If you just continue playing Raina, even after he scores ducks then I feel that you should resign from limited overs format as well.
Either he should give chances to players like Gurkeerat
Singh Mann, Unmukt Chand, Mandeep Singh, Manan Vohra, or should quit so that
Indian cricket goes ahead. I am damn sure we will lose T20 World cup 2016 with
Raina, Jadeja , Bhuwneshwar in the squad.
One more statement by Dhoni- We can't put too much pressure
on youngsters, so we will have to bat in lower middle order. If Gaungly thought
same for you, I can't make Dhoni bat at 5,6,7 then we would have continued with
players like Badani, Bangar. Yuvraj and Dhoni won world cups for India when
somebody gave them chance. If you just continue with Jadeja, Raina.....you are
clinching opportunity from Gurkeerat, Uthapa. We have enough players, it is
just that they are given opportunities. Jadejas have been given enough, lets
try some other players for god sake.
Pitch was two paced when we batted (statement after 3rd
ODI). Then, you should not have batted at all- what kind of excuse is this.
Does army return from Border saying we don't have enough weapons or enemies are
positioned at better location, so we should not fight as we have more
difficulties to face with.
We have lost ODIs to Bangladesh , T20 series to South Africa, 2 ODIs out of 3 to South Africa.We will lose many more as I have reasoning behind this. With five fielders outside the circle in last 10 overs in ODI Format, nobody has power of YUVRAJ to clear the field.We earlier had 4 fielders so team was doing well without the powerhitters, we will continue to struggle with Jadejas, Axars.
We need either Yuvraj or players like Yuvraj to dominate cricketing world. We just can't say pitch was slow,can't put pressure on youngsters or looking to find No 5,6 within this lineup. You need to give chances to emerging YuvrajS, DhoniS. YOUR TIME IS OVER SIR-MR DHONI and once you go----- JADEJAs, RainaS will follow you.
