In short quick sentences, its wrong decisions, a stubborn captain and a panicky lot of players !
If only dhoni had realised that ishant sharma is not doing any good and that he is buckling under pressure, he wouldn't have trusted him so much to hand him a place in the match against England. But Dhoni always has his own plans. He always wants to be remembered as someone whose plans always worked for India. He wants to be very autonomous in decisions and doesn't want to listen to some good players in the team. couldn't he not have listened to yuvraj singh and promoted him up the order atleast before jadeja ? That could have turned a lot of things upside down for India and they would not be in such a pitiable state losing by a mere 3 runs !!
The crowd started booing at the English team which was absolutely shocking for collingwood. He wouldn't have expected such a show in his own homeground !! I dont know and cant say what the side-effects will be for the England-vasis like me and many others. Already there is a wave of uneasiness and our own ppl add to chaos by behaving like this. I wish they were a bit sportive like the chennai crowd ! Anywayz past is past and collingwood hinted a few things in his final speech which were insulting enough.
Jadeja simply could not play properly. It would have been even better if he only moved away from the stumps and got bowled out voluntarily. It would have been much better for the team today. & as many people say ishant should have been replaced with praveen kumar. Unfortunate because of one man- dhoni !
We should have won the west indies match if only a) dhoni had scored more runs b) If only he had bravo run out c) if only he had not given ishant sharma his last over.
My only agony is that inspite of the sacking that he got against the windies, he repeated his folly by including ishant in the match against england. All because he wanted to prove that he was right. doesnt want to listen to anyone, not even his conscience ! He just wanted ishant to click in the england match and prove the WHOLE WORLD wrong. Dhoni, grow up - please for India's sake !
Whats the big deal in accepting that the batting went wrong,.. blah..blah..blah ! you think people are going to excuse you for such bold statements. No. people will never excuse you for such adamant decisions that you keep making.
Anyway its upto him and he cannot afford this again. No media will keep quiet. all these questions will be asked and lets see what bold answers you give then.
hey. this wasn't supposed to be a tirade against dhoni anyway !. Just wanted to higlight what went wrong and unfortunately it happens to be dhoni and just dhoni ! ta!t
