i would say Pathan because Dhoni is not gud at playing under pressure.if india r in trouble then he fails. Pathan plays well in both positions.

Seems a bit of a strange question to me - they play completely different roles so why would you ever need to make a choice between them?

Some of these polls are overboard... dhoni and pathan are totally
different players, pathan being an allrounder, dhoni being a specialist
batsmen.
My two favourite Batsmen:
Jacques Kallis is a very solid but destructive batsmen and not to mention he can bowl as well.
I also like Michael Clarke for his amazing batting talent at such a young age

Actually a keeper-batsman is also an all-rounder...and I'm not just making it up, I read it in a book...reading is awesome...that's how I learn about some of the cricket greats.

Really, its useless comparing the 2. Pathan is a bowler-batsman all-rounder, while Dhoni is a keeper-batsman all-rounder.

It just depends wqho offers more to the team. Dhoni is a better batmen, while Dhoni doesnt bowl, Pathan does. Dhoni keeps wiket, Pathan doesn't.

I would say equal, but remember when Rahul was keeping wicket, he offered more then Dhoni.

Anyway...Dhoni could be up there one day with Adam Gilchrist and Andy Flower as teh finest Batsmen-Keepers in history.

Yea, if Dhoni continues in his current form, he will no doubt be up there with Gilchrist as one of the finest keeper-batsman ever.

Well, I sure don't because if Dhoni becomes a Gilchrist, he will be a real pain for us (Pakistan).

India wants Dhoni and patan to keep up the good work [shown by them for a short period] ,, coz they give lot of options and confidence to the top

Ofcourse. Pathan is an all-rounder now and so is Dhoni. Dhoni and Pathan have both improved their battnig a lot and it makes India's batting attack look really dangerous.

Both are really really good batsmens in the team. The only difference is that one is good wicket keeper and other one is bowler.

Both are great batsman, but I would say Dhoni is better that Pathan with the bat. With the gloves, it is obviously Dhoni, and with the ball, it is obviously Pathan. You can't really compare these two.

In what way do I need to vote, seeing as Dhoni is a keeper batsman but Pathan is an all rounder? Is this topic not just another way of starting new threads?

Dhoni is not a good keeper

That gives me a good idea, maybe I could make a thread, called 'Geriant Jones v Mahendra Dhoni'.

dhoni has played some very good knocks while chasing. he has also performed under pressure. his innings against s.l. were very good.(183 and the one he played with raina). also all the chasing in the recent times were under pressure(run rate above 6)
