Dhoni baba is tired

Oops! I was wrong. The poor officials turned lucky turned poor again – thanks to Monika, Gold at Beijing and Bindra’s outburst – in that order. I was expecting Bindra to take care of Mendis but he trained his gun on the officials instead! Well, looks like this chap is clear of his priorities – officials now… Mendis can be taken care of later…
Or may be Dhoni has figured out a better way to handle “Mendisis” (sounds like a disease, no?) – we won the one-day series after all… I am sure Dhoni’s idea must be costing less than 30L to BCCI… and in that case, Bindra can kiss the 30L promised by BCCI goodbye!

People and newspapers are already talking about Dhoni being the test captain as well… Poor Kumble… but does Dhoni want to play test matches?? If my memory is right, he refused to play the test series against Sri Lanka last month because he was “tired”… hmmm, that’s interesting… very very interesting! One plays some 20 IPL matches under scotching heat and does not tire and just a month after that, he is tired because of “too much of cricket”! So mister Dhoni, why did not you take a break during IPL? Why did you play each and every match?
Wait a minute – aren’t you the highest paid IPL player (Mundu endorsements extra!)? And isn’t it true that you get paid full only if you play every match? If you decide not to play a match, proportionate amount of money would be deducted from your fees? Well, that explains…
By the way, can you tell me how many ad shootings you did while you were “tired”? One Pepsi ad for sure – both Dhoni and Sri Santh missed the Sri Lanka trip and only these 2 guys are there in the given ad… and some Mundu ads for sure which have mushroomed up on TV…
Now, now, don’t tell me that ad shooting is not as tiring… I am sure all the bollywood actors are not lying when they say it’s lots of hard work!

I think Dhoni is very lucky… I see luck playing a bigger part in his success as a captain rather than some high funda strategy… The commentators go gaga over his cool demeanor… All this makes sense when things are going good. Ganguly’s aggression was his biggest “asset” when he was winning and biggest “liability” when he wasn’t!! Let things go bad (don’t start cursing me - it happens with every team and every captain), the same commentators would say – “what kind of person is he? No impact even when team is losing. He needs to show some emotions, aggression and show to the world that it matters”… and so on!

I think the issue is something else, this chap is an expressionless dud(remember Clint Eastwood?)… Can’t you figure out by watching his ads? Anyways, works well for him (at least for now)…

Btw, if you spot Dhoni and Bindra together, they would mostly be exchanging notes on “Mendisis”…
