Aur rahi baat Dhoni ki......to 4 saal ke career mein itani kamiyaabi achchi bhi hai aur fishy bhi...!!! So u better check out Dhoni....Indian Cricket is just not game....its a live wire connected to Indian public...u mess wid it...u pay for it !!!!
Dhoni should first become a lot more mature. His attitude towards seniors leaves a lot to be desired. Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dravid and Kumble are way above him in talent and dedication. The only reason he even became captain is because the seniors stayed away from 20 20. Also Dravid relinquished his captaincy and Dhoni became ODI captain. The first thing he did was to cut the ground from under Dravid's feet. Dhoni has consciously kept South Indians out of the ODI team. Sreesanth may have his drawbacks but is not short on talent. He is certainly a far better bowler than RPS or IP Or Munaf. Dhoni should not be made captain of the test team as he does not have the talent to lead the team consistently and, in a situation like in Australia, he would definitely not have had the gumption and maturity that Kumble displayed. ODIs and T20 are all in the slam bang mould but Tests are the real thing. Dhoni isn't.

dhoni has better average in ido and is also ranked no.1 in ODI therefore better player than Fab4 in ODI.
He is also better captain than any of the rest. Under him India have won more significant series i.e 20/20 WC, CB series, SL series...
Gary Kirsten, coach has said that Dhoni is ready for test captaincy.
Wasim Akram, who played for Pakistan for a very long time (one wonders about the way he managed to maintain his fitness for something like 16 years or so) and was undoubtedly one of their best bowlers, a decent batsmen and a fairly successful captain, makes sense in advocating captaincy to be handed over to Dhoni.
No one has forgotten the yeoman, excellent services rendered by senior players like Kumble, Dravid, Ganguly and Sachin to Indian cricket. But time has come for them to move. Perhaps only Laxman among the old lot has reason to stay (only in Tests) may be for a couple of seasons (no match for his stroke play when in full bloom, though a shoddy fielder).
BCCI and selectors should gather courage, look forward and appoint Dhoni as captain for the forthcoming Australian tour of India.
With Dhoni, lot of youngsters and a few experienced (but not senior) players like Sehwag, Yuvraj, Bhajji, Zaheer etc. the team should be given time to settle and prove itself.
e pakistani kutthe india ka bala kabse sochne lage...dhoni is not capable of handling one day...woh test match kya sambhalega...we have seen his recent failures in one days....just winning srilankan series by 3-2 does not make him capable for test captain, too much responsibility too early is not good.
A Test Captain must be a charismatic leader and Dhoni totally fits in the bill. Kumble is a great spinner but does no have the charm of Dhoni. He looks bore in the field and not vibrant like Dhoni. Dhoni was cool and calm even in the adverse situations on the field. He single handedly formed the winning strategy and delivered it in time. Kumble looks pathetic and out of all sorts. Besides, of late he is not as performing as he was before. This would definitely work against him. He himself would not be mentally fit to carry on the captaincy with the same vigour. Its time for him to retire along with fab four. Its time for young turks to take over. The young India team has proved it time and again. Akram and Kirsten were right in calling for change of guard. Take it sportingly and in the interest of the game, the change may be effected. We need to groom younger players. The older players have passed their prime and let them retire at this stage as people would continue to remember them. The body language of like of Tendulkar, Laxman, Dravid and Ganguli all speak for itself. They were not sure of themselves when facing the new Lankan sensation Ajantha Mendis. He proved to be their nemesis. It reminded of the Imaran and company hastened the exit of Venkat,Bedi,Prasann and Chandrasekar when they were hit all over in India's first visit to Pakistan in 1970s. The BCCI must seriously think of shifting the captaincy and appoint Dhoni as Captain for both Test and ODI immediately.
Akram bhai begani shaadi main abdulla diwana.First take care of pakistan cricket.Do something for your country.Sushmita key saath dance karne aaye ho toh dance karke cahle jayo.
