Re: Dhoni goes to the top of LG ICC Player Rankings
"Adam Gilchrist has proved himself consistently over a long period of time. I have played only 16 months of international cricket; hence, I think that the comparison cannot be justified. I just hope that people can recognize me as Mahendra Singh Dhoni only."
Read the full sentence buddy..
"Stepping towards" is important in my sentence........... :D
Re: Dhoni goes to the top of LG ICC Player Rankings
He deserves his ranking. Phenomenal rise in the last 12 months. Lets hope for the sake of good cricket he keeps his performance going, eventhough I wouldn't mind him failing against Pakistan. :p
Re: Dhoni goes to the top of LG ICC Player Rankings
Kamran Akmal is a very good player in his own right. Look at his record and you will see how many times he has performed when Pakistan needed him. Go check his record.
Re: Dhoni goes to the top of LG ICC Player Rankings
Dhoni ROcks, in the recent ODI series first time since JAyasuria and De silva in 1996-1997, i enjoyed watching somebody who kicked Pak's butt this way....he has proven in 18 months that he is a force on the asian wickets, regardless of the match situation.
Dhoni has scored 1300+ runs since Pak's tour of india and Afridi 525, that something i give alot of credit to dhoni.....Bhut he is still to prove himself outside the subcontinent.

Re: Dhoni goes to the top of LG ICC Player Rankings
the hard-hitting and entertainment factor all is fine, but that isn't why i like him.
i like him because of his clutch performance ability when India needs him most. and in such games, he comes in after confidence (in theory) should be low and the top order has failed....but that doesn't seem to affect his confidence or morale.
the only thing i am waiting for as far as Dhoni "proving himself" is how well he can play abroad. but realistically, even if he is only average abroad, his home abilities still prove his value as far as i'm concerned.
Re: Dhoni goes to the top of LG ICC Player Rankings
Dhoni displaced by Gilchrist, who is now at the number 1 position by 3 points. These rankings are real crap. They have Lara below Chanderpaul. What a disgrace! Honestly!!!!!!!!!!
