I meant *oo* not *ea*. Perhaps you havent known these two news items http://www.gyanin.com/story.php?title=Policeman-transferred-fining-Dhoni http://www.telegraphindia.com/1080404/jsp/jharkhand/story_9093831.jsp And there is one more that I can't find where the judge had to apologize for asking Dhoni to appear in court for some bureaucratic reason. I guess you don't dare blog these kind of news.. do you? ;-) Question is: Did the cop that handed out ticket to Dhoni called a press conference or was it Dhoni's family who called the local thulla inspector to transfer that little idiot who was just doing his job? I doubt if it was the first one. Calling Dhoni a national example would be far from the truth. He is just an example of a real Bihari. That's all. Dhoni is a Ch&t. I meant *oo* not *ea*.

That’s all.

This is what love of one's nation, religion and fellow countrymen is about. Severe weaknesses were patched up in the determination to excel. This is a facet of Islam I have always respected and recommended. Hat's of Pakistan for a brilliant win. You guys thoroughly deserved it.

Before you read further, I want you to understand that I am a big time supporter and fan of Dhoni. One of the primary reasons could be probably because he is the only 'cricketing star' (if you will) that my home state of Jharkhand has ever produced. Dhoni is a good leader. He brings a cool aura in an Indian captain, which has always been recognized by almost all and sundry and is very much needed. However, his successes almost always had a very non-obvious element to it. I will concede that during those successes even I marvelled at his 'insight'. Handing the ball over in the last over to Joginder in the 2007 T20 world cup, handing the ball over to the spinners in IPL and T20 world cup within the first 6 overs, constantly changing the batting line up, bringing himself up in the batting line up etc. Yeah, when those things work it is all fine and dandy and oh, he is so wise! But, now I have started doubting my interpretations of his actions a bit. Because I see the law of averages unfold in front of my eyes. The same 'gambles' (and I am feeling more confident by the day, to call it that) are now getting 'evened' out. And my concern is not about the Indian captain trying/gambling in that regard. I would actually support out of the box thinking. My concern is whether he is learning from them. At this moment, I cannot say I see him doing that. And what concerns me further is that I do not think a whole lot is very comprehensive about Dhoni even in the longer form of the game. In this forum, I had earlier expressed my utter incomprehension during the last test against New Zealand when, in my meager opinion, Team India just gave the match away in the middle of a giggle-spree (and I myself watched, in horror, Dhoni participating in that giggle fest). So, I am a very confused soul at this moment when it comes to Dhoni and do not know what to make out of him any more. I also do not know if it is just me or if anyone else has also noticed that even after that Dhoni-Sehwag alleged rift call and the subsequent drama of reading from a script to the media, the media has been exceptionally tolerant and supportive of Dhoni. I really wonder why! I personally did not think of that act as a very matured one. Besides that incident, any other captain would probably have been torn to shreds after the last test match with New Zealand. I just think that most everybody is still too Dhoni-struck. I say, pause! And see where his batting and his keeping is nowadays (in my opinion, he had always been a mediocre keeper but he is still managing to slide lower)! Finally, I am not trying to blame Dhoni alone for India not making past what they did in T20 World Cup. Lord knows there are a whole bunch of people to share the blame but, puhleze, someone bring Dhoni down to earth! I think he would serve all, himself included, better. At the very least, please let me see the same Dhoni of yore in the batting crease! What the heck did he do to himself as a batter?

Something had to be done so as to keep cricket alive from the impending Taliban. After all there is no Bollywood support for them, (not everyone is a Shoaib Akhtar anyway) .

I personally feel that the team did not have the hunger to win. It was clearly evident in their body language throughout the games. Gone are the days when it was every youngster's dream to play for Team India. Now, they can perform in the IPL & get instant fame & fortune. They now lack the intensity when they come out to play for INDIA. Perhaps their IPL success has gone to their heads big time. They need to shed this mentality ASAP, else, the future seems really sorry... Gr8 analysis…as usual. I personally feel that the team did not have the hunger to win.
