Hi friends before this match Dhoni's captancy was exellant, but in this test his captancy was very poor, he could have declared Indian innings in first session, then India might had chanses to win the match

dhoni is captancy is just average ..not only this match..some outstanding perfomance from sewag,yuvi, helped out for indian success.as well as in indian soil we are always winner. first test actually we just escaped. wether condition was bad, so he could have declared earlier..(same as 4th days score) in newziland , just rotation bowlers will not help out..wait and see..

The bad light and fog had already ensured that the test would be a draw. So, it's no fault of Dhoni. The real culprit was BCCI that organized this match in Mohali, which is known for dense fogs in this time of the year. Don't blame Dhoni, who is going to cross Ganguly as the best captain of Indian Cricket very soon.

I couldn't agree more. The venue BCCI chooses, always had baffled me. They decide to have a test match in Chennai when it rains, They plan in Kolkata, Delhi and Mohali during winter when the fog invariably reduces the number of hours possible. The BCCI simply doesn't learn or they are too bothered about making money but not about results. Like we have a bowling, batting and field coach, BCCI also needs an expert on climate conditions in India for fixing venues.
