MS Dhoni is a hack. Give Hayden the captaincy.

That is what I too said in my other post in the match thread.
But Oram dint get much chance.I would replace Freddie with Albie and stay with Oram.

I seriously doubt they are going to drop Flintoff since they bought him for really high price and anyways he's going to play only for two weeks.

and considering he's a class act, and one of the best death bowlers in the world. I imagine it'd be Oram that'd get dropped if they wanted to replace all-rounder with all-rounder.

Trust me, it is. I'm sure everyone was laughing just as hard as you are when they saw it for the first time.

There's some story behind his name. I think a member on here called 'pal' knew it. Don't remember what it is now.
Oh god! Thats a classic. Replace someone who is arguably the best current captain in the world (who won the T20 World Cup, who took his team to the final of the last IPL), with someone who hasnt captained his national team (I guess not even a single game, if I am correct although I might not be perfect)?

Dhoni isn't the best captain in the world.
Tell me, how smart was it to bowl Joginder Sharma in the deciding over of the Twenty20 World Cup? It was a miracle that India won that World Cup after such a poor and blindsided decision to bowl that trundler at such a criticial time in the tournament. 9/10 it would've backfired on him.
Hayden is more experienced and by giving Hayden the captaincy then you can make Dhoni the wicketkeeper again. Dhoni's value to the team isn't even great if he isn't a wicketkeeper because Hayden is a far better Twenty20 batsman then Mahendra Singh Dhoni.
It worked two times in a row (against Australia and against Pakistan). That kills the 9/10 argument. T20 is a gamble. You always dont need the bowlers to fire in when its pressure. Joginder was an unknown quantity that time and Dhoni brought him on as a surprise element and he worked. Now criticising him for that decision even after it worked is foolishness.
Right now, Dhoni is doing a better job than most of the current captains in the world and is getting all the results for his side. So he is the best captain right now (I did not say that he is the best captain of all time).

Yes... That was a shocker to me! Morkel is in good form and that too in his home conditions, its terrible to have dropped him.

It seems Morkel and Ntini dint get their jerseys in time.So they were forced to sit out.
