Thambi	Mr Jha, When are you going to write sensibly?Dhoni has taken a sensible decision and honest enough to say the reasons He has put his Test spot on a line and has indeed taken a risk.If Karthik n Parthiv perform well it is good for the team and it will be very difficult for Dhoni to come back into the test team.Only a miniscule minority of people like you are crying hoarse on this Comm0n sense and bold decisions like these should be encouraged ( Posted: Sunday , July 13, 2008 at 07:48 )
Bharat Chhetri.	Cheer up Mr. Jha and Dhoni''s foes... He made the best decision for Indian cricket in the long run. Look how the Indian Team has improved drastically and are a sharp potential world cup 2011 winners!!!! I am from Nepal and support Indian Cricket Team since I was 14 years old. IPL may be the Gold egg laying duck but Indian Cricket does benefit from it. All the best for the coming up test series in SL. Please quit writing negative about Dhoni because he is a great player and the best captain at this period of time. He is indeed the new version of Kapil Dev for the next world cup!!!!

Nitin	Mr jha if you care to read reader''s comments you will forget about laughing and will start crying. You literally get beaten black and blue in each of your post. Dhoni is playing non-stop cricket since last 1.5-2 years and you conclude that all the tiredness has come from IPL only!!!! Whatta logic. 2 years of gruelling schedule doesnt make you tired, its the 16x3=48 hours of IPL matches that will tire you. I am impressed with your reasoning.

swagat	It is good for Indian Cricket that Dhoni is taking rest. Please call Dravid to lead the ODI team and ask Dhoni to play under him after 1 year. ( Posted: Friday , July 11, 2008 at 11:14 )
Evolver	Mr. Krishna kumar is spot on. Good to see that he has given more facts regarding how player wanted to just play irrespective of their fitness levels. In that sense we should praise dhoni for taking a decision for the benefit of the team and also for him. ( Posted: Friday , July 11, 2008 at 11:06 )
Jatt Sharabi	Mr Jha.... I am very sorry to say that you are an extremely biased writer. You praised this team a lot a couple of days ago when they chased down the target of over 300 set by the Pakistan team, and a few days later you want to blame everything on IPL. The fact remains that all players played only 16 games in a two month period. Also, Pathan, Raina, and Ojha would have never been in the Indian team if it wasn''t for IPL.

Bala	Will Mr Jha write about Ganguly''s weiled threat to CAB? I am sure Mr Jha will accuse CAB official and claim Ganguly is a saint. Imagine Sachin tendulkar makes a similar claim. He should have resigned. Is not it Jha? ( Posted: Thursday , July 10, 2008 at 22:51 )
Renjit	hi there, Many of you have commended Dhoni for taking a ''bold'' decision of opting out of test.I dont think he would have opted out if he was being paid per match than on a contract basis and also if he was captain of the test team as well. He knows very well that after the test series, the one dayers are coming and he will be back in the team as captain. After that the champions trophy and the champions leage of IPL. Every cricket player says that test cricket is the ultimate test for a cricketer. if that was the case then Dhoni should have played the test series and rested for the one dayers. No my dear friends Dhoni is not bold, he is just being clever. Cheers Renjit ( Posted: Thursday , July 10, 2008 at 14:02 )
S.V.Rajan	Hi Mr.Jha, Dhoni spoke about gruelling back to back matches in Asia cup and Mr.Shukla on behalf of BCCI said Dhoni can avail rest if he wants instead of complaining about the schdule. Now he has availed the rest as suggested by BCCI. He is confident of walking into the team after rest. Many of our stalwerts are not sure about their place in the team with rainas,badrinaths,yuvarajs waiting in the wing. At least one person has practised what he preached. s.v.rajan ( Posted: Thursday , July 10, 2008 at 11:42 )
Abigail	Finally !! Some one has a bit of common sense in the ''money making factory'' . MSD took a right decision but as you said unlike you ''the honest Indian Media'' is playing the lowest Key where as this news should have been sung in a high pitch . MSD calls it fatigue .. but i call it ''temporary insanity syndrome'' . Indian Cricketers are rich beyong thier imagination.. Who wants to play test cricket or even ODI for paltry sum when IPL is raining money twice as much money for every ball played? . This is the begining of the end, what MSD did was "expected" and only time will tell how many Indian Players will opt out to play test and ODI. Oh ! btw you should not praise the Indian Team for minor victories, because it isn''t pleasent to read your blog contradicting yourself. Do you even read our comments?
