Y is Simmons batting sooo slow (12 runs in 50 balls???!) and they don't wanna pick Chanders???c'mon!
They should open with Smith and Gayle or at least give Johnson Charles a try nex game.

Hmmph...and I thought they were going to be competitive...:?

The British commentators made an interesting observation: with the arrival of the IPL "professionals" it seems that the fight has gone out of the team. The test squad while outclassed showed better application in their games. They theorized that the younger players had begun to gel under Sammy, and the selectors have messed up that chemistry with the inclusion of Gayle and them fellas.

I gather those comments were not based solely on individual performances as per Gayle and Bravo, but moreso their lackluster performance in the field.

Steups...it matters not, they've lost another series. They better pray for the rain to save their arse on Friday.

^^^anyone who watched the last couple of Test series would have observed that the WI team, even tho they lost the series, they have been playing better under Gibson and Sammy, they r definitely more competitive. The team is really 'gellin' and shows real fighting spirit but alot ppl (mostly local/WI fans) just wont admit it... I guess its just a matter of time before they start winning.
I have also observed that most of the ppl who r callin for Sammy's and Gibson's head dont even watch cricket anymore, they jus read the headlines.
Anyways, goodluck to the guys vs NZ.

Gayle was given a raw deal in that decision today,he should have had the benefit,you all realise them fellas reading Narine real easy now.hopefully the windies could muster a win on Friday and well do better against New Zealand next week.

u have to remember that the pitches he played on so far did not really give any assisitance (little turn and bounce) whereas in india, it was a different story...also the T20 format will always be better for a bowler who has some variation...

well what you saying makes sense,but even if the wickets not coming,he is usually more economical,but hope is always there,he would do better...but seeing that he is deemed a "mystery" spinner by many,idk why Sammy sets such a sheity field for him: only one slip???? nah man.you supposed to have leg slip,silly point all them thing for a good spinner.look at the treatments Warne and Murali used to get.

wasn't expecting Dhoni to be here.


MS Dhoni tops cricket's rich-list in Forbes magazine

Players/Officials: MS Dhoni | Sachin Tendulkar
Teams: India
MS Dhoni, the India captain, has proved to be just as successful off the field as he has been on the field. Forbes magazine has ranked him as the highest-paid cricketer, as well as the highest-paid athlete in India for the period from June 2011 to June 2012.

Dhoni tops not only team-mate Sachin Tendulkar, but also global stars like Olympic 100m champion Usain Bolt, Novak Djokovic, the tennis World No.1, and England and Manchester United striker, Wayne Rooney.

According to the magazine, Dhoni made a total of US$ 26.5 million, of which $23 million was earned from endorsements and $3.5 million from salary and prize money. That puts him 31st on the list while Tendulkar was 78th, with total earnings of $18.6 million, of which $16.5 were from endorsements.

The Forbes list was topped by champion boxer Floyd Mayweather, who made $85 million, followed by his main rival, Manny Pacquiao, with earnings of $62 million, and Tiger Woods, with $59.4 million.

Dhoni's unprecedented success leading India - he is the only captain to have won the ICC World T20 championship, the 50-over World Cup and led his team to the No.1 Test ranking - has made him one of India's most popular celebrities, not just athletes.

A study by Tam Sports of the advertising patterns during the 2011 ICC World Cup showed that ads featuring Dhoni far outstripped those of any other celebrity. Ads involving Dhoni grabbed a 29% share of the total television ads during the tournament, almost three times the frequency of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, who was second with 10%. Tendulkar was fourth, with 7%.

In July 2010, Dhoni signed a three-year endorsement deal worth approximately Rs 2.1 billion ($ 42 million) with Rhiti Sports, a sports marketing agency. The deal surpassed the three-year deal worth Rs 1.8 billion ($38 million) that Sachin Tendulkar signed back in 2006, making it the largest such deal in Indian sports history.

Later the same year, he signed a three-year deal worth Rs 260 million (about US$ 5.7 million) to promote McDowell's soda, which is owned by the UB Group headed by Vijay Mallya. Altogether, Dhoni represents more than 20 brands, including Pepsi, Reebok, Aircel and TVS.

Sangeet Shirodkar, who helped put the deal together for Rhiti Sports but is now a director at Offspin Sports and Entertainment, says Dhoni's commercial success is tied not only to his sporting success, but also his surprising rise through the ranks of Indian cricket.

"He comes from a very humble background," Shirodkar said. "That has contributed to the fact that Indian brands are attracted to having him as a brand ambassador. The Indian growth story is targeted at the masses, not the top of the pyramid. [Dhoni is] one among them who has come out and has achieved so much."

In an article for the Hindu BusinessLine last year, Harish Bhat, the Chief Operating Officer - Watches, Titan Industries Ltd and Somprabh Singh, Senior Manager, Marketing, Titan also cited Dhoni's middle-class background as one of the key reasons for his appeal (Titan is one of the brands Dhoni endorses).

"Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Dhoni's brand personality is the respect and humility which he displays, not merely to the cricketing fraternity, but towards everyone he meets and interacts with," they wrote. "This reflects his strong middle-class values, his origins in a part of the country which has been the crucible of Indian culture and civilisation, and, of course, the simple person that he is. It enhances the esteem and love which Indians have for him"

According to the pair, another plus for India's captain is his ability to cut across demographics. "Dhoni symbolises vibrant youthfulness, which is aspirational across age-groups in our country. A large part of India is young, and the rest of India wishes to look and feel young. Therefore, his youthful appeal cuts across India's demography."

India's struggles over the last 12 months - losing eight consecutive away Tests to England and Australia - have clearly not dampened Dhoni's commercial appeal. With India's schedule requiring them to play mainly at home for the near future, his brand is likely to only grow stronger.
