Fire Srikanth

If Srikanth and his bunch of jokers are planning to fire Dhoni for T20 exit then they would be the men in the  country with no brains and no logic.  They would further harm the cricket in the country. Srikanth has his own agenda to see his limited talented players to be planted in the team and if for one / two exits he replaces MS, then he is going to be forever remembered as temperamental mad man. He had same approach to his batting, he is showing the same for the Indian team selection. He needs to go. If anybody needs to go then he is the one who needs to go.

His follies are just getting bigger and bigger.

First Test selection for SA test involved 3 TN players out of nowhere.  T20 World Cup saw DK and MV in the team at the expense of more successful batsmen in IPL but for other franchisees. They were ignored.

Who are the replacements over past one year in each of the formats whenever any batter has got injured – Dinesh Karthik, Dabrinath and M Vijay. I have never seen a Uthappa being brought back in ODIs or even Mohd Kaif in Tests at cost of struggling Yuvraj Singh or injured Yuvraj Singh or Laxman or Dravid. He comfortably fit Dabrinath in the team and in 2008 asked Ganguly to quit to have his cronies established.

Why is Dhoni being blamed for the debacle? Why doesn’t the BCCI hold Kris Srikanth accountable ? He is being paid 40 lacs for selecting duds and implanting his state players ? If they are talented and successful who cares where they come from. But are they worthy of the position in the team? Perhaps Srikanth thinks yes its advisable to have DKs, MVs and DBs in the team when the BCCI has its secretary from his state and his state franchisee is IPL champion. By that logic Dhoni should be safe, he is Chennai captain. Lol.

Dhoni has had imperious success as ODI captain. He won in every country and except series loss to Aussies and CT exit his record in ODIs as captain is impeccable.  He might not hit his helicopter and dhobi pachad shots any more, but he is one of the best finishers in the ODI cricket and the one role he plays, was played superbly in the mid 2000s by Rahul Dravid alongside Kaif and Yuvraj. So if Srikanth is unable to see this, we doubt his capability to be the chief of selection committee. Probably he should head TN selection committee not Indian.
