This is cricket not bollywood, we can't use the same hit formula over and over again. We have a goat top order but law of average will catch up to them eventually, what then? Do you want a repeat of the CT final? Or that group match against Lanka where we were 40 runs short and they easily chased it? Admit it or not our inability to set up a decent total on flat pitches will eventually come and get us if we continue to carry lame jokes like Rayudu and Dhoni. Dhoni is the nucleus of the problem, he is the patient zero of this outbreak, struggles to connect the ball and expect others to do the heavy lifting only for him to claim the bigger share of the credit, this has to stop,period. Don't tell me we don't have talents to replace him, we actually have too many, hell even a over the hill Raina would have done much better if he received half the backing that Dhoni gets. You mark my words Dhoni will single handedly lose us at least a couple games at the WC, I just hope and pray it doesn't happen during knock out stages. Got nothing against Jadhav though, on the contrary I think he is a must for the team balance.
I know we aren't ATG Aussie or Windies, but we should aspire to become like them one day and for that to happen we can't allow even a single microscopic chink in the armour. Need to mercilessly purge the has beens ignoring their legacies and past heroics. We have the talents at our disposal just need to gather the will to do the right thing.
