Dhoni threatens to resign captaincy . . .

. . . due to the selectors not choosing RP Singh in the ODI team . . .

Scrub my original answer. maybe he's angling for a spot as a BCCI administrator. Going home when a decision he doesn't like is made.

How good's your source?

Seems unbelievable.....

No argument from me, Zatty, I reckon it'd be hella funny if he did throw it in . . .

All over the subi news at the mo . . .

Farq him, let him quit.

Exactly . . . the only way to deal with such threats is to ask for the resignation . . .

seems like it. he had a heated meeting with the selectors and offered to resign. dont know what exactly transpired, but this shows dhoni in a very poor light. esp for backing rps ffs!!

Yeah, TO, if he was going to go out on a limb for someone . . why the fark would it be RP?

Likewise boards and the ICC should let teams pack up and go home when they threaten to as well. Sooking is sooking.

all sides already denying it. someone needs to come out and make a statement

Then again, he wouldn't be a decent indian captain if he wasn't getting up someone's nose.

Probably BS coming out of the media.

I had a couple of mid-management types get a bit precious with me in yearly review meetings. They were stunned when I accepted their threatened resignations and told them to put them in writing . . .

Mahendra Singh Dhoni threatens to resign: Report

the usual 'un-named source'. many indian captains have cited major differences with selectors as one of the reasons for resignation. i dont see anything wrong with pathan replacing rps though. its not as bad a selection as some we have seen in the past

I've only ever done that the once. The look on the bloke's face when I said 'you can finish up today, we'll pay out your notice' was priceless.

Roebuck already thinks both Ponting and Smith need to bloody well grow up - Dhoni will make it 3 if this story keeps its legs.

Roebuck trying to get his three correct stories for the year in the psace of a month?

AB gave Lawrie Sawle the Johnny Paycheck line in that famous 'full and frank exchange of views' in the WACA dressing room after Swampy was chopped - and nobody heard about it for weeks.

Therein lies one of the differences between CA (however much we may bitch about individuals from time to time) ond the BCCI..

Yes, one could organise a root in a brothel, the other couldn't. But you wouldn;t rely on either for much intelligence.

Rooting .... brothel .... intelligence.
Could that be considered a triple oxymoron ?

What a coup. Standing on the brink, just the thing England would want to happen. I don't think KP could have stage-managed this any better, even if he had wanted to.

To me its an obscure leak to some obscure media agency now making a bundle selling it to papers who publish it without checking its authenticity.

Seems a bit of a non-event really. Cricinfo doesn't have anything, and neither does rediff, which more or less publishes anything it gets it's hand on.

Truckload of BS from the media. Ignore it.
