    Dhoni
    On the eve of 4th ODI against England, a livid Dhoni did little to dampen the speculation about resignation threat.

    Dhoni also felt that pace spearhead Zaheer Khan needed rest but indicated that he will play tomorrow's match, which if India wins, will seal the series for the hosts.

    Dhoni said he was worried about the weather conditions as the pitch and outfield at the Chinnaswamy stadium had dampness following intermittent rains, the city has been experiencing since Saturday afternoon.

    "It is quite soft. There is dampness. If sun shines it would be good," he said.

    DhoniBy: ketan | 25-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Besides the selectors , dhoni as a captain should be allowed to express his opinion. some internal person has actually leaked out this information which is not correct.
    A member of cricket Selection Committee is stooge of media and does not deserve to be in the committee.By: Edie | 24-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward BCCI must look into the leak episode. Selection committee has a media stooge who is leaking information for money. This guy is very dangerous for Indian cricket. Find him out and expose in public and ban him for life. This single individual's presence in selection committee will cost India many series and world cup. BCCI and media should be aware of and so is common fans. Most of the fqns have played stupids and jumped to criticise Dhoni when they should have been gunning for propreity and integrity from selection committee members.
    Why BCCI asks captains to be a part of the selection if selectors do not need captains input?By: Dinesh | 24-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Dhoni is aboslutely right. You need to give a chance to players to prove themselves. There should not be double standard in the selection. Dravid has not been scoring since three series but is still in test team why? because you want to give him more chances to come up. RP has been out due to injury and did not perform well in two matches he is out why? Why you can not give RP a chance to work out in remaining 3 inconsequential matches. It may do wonders for his confidence. Remember RP has proven himself before and if you are making a team for world cup you need to have 5-6 bowlers just in case one or two of your front line bowlers get injured. Dhoni is absolutely right to demand a team of his choice. Otherwise why you ask captain to be present during selection.
    Dhoni stay out By: tina | 24-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Dhoni should be asked to stop interfering and leave it to the selectors to do the job.
