Except NZ vs NZ all matches have been played in India or Indian sub continent.. He has not played in South Africa, Australia, England, West Indies or against Pakistan (Good pace attack), but the Indian media are really good at blowing their horn! The bowling is so pathetic that outside the Indian subcontinent, they will not be able to take 20 wickets even if they bowled for 5 days!

what hats off he sholdbe kicked out he is int to advertise n sign the deals rather than game as such indian cricket itself shouldbe totally banned n not to encourage rather improving in some gas morethan cricket athletes, football hockey etc---
These press guys have to quit talking nonsense like this.
Dhoni does plan quite a bit more than other indian captains and is not afraid to play his cards in a crunch time.
Now, that Dhoni is gone. This new version of Dhoni is one that lost two world cups (20-20) and has no problems finding great excuses. He is also the worst when it comes to team selection.
If Ganguly was good at discovering huge talents like Yuvaraj, Harbachan etc., this guy finds duds like Jadeja, and the Yusuf and keeps on giving the chances in the hope that he isnt wrong. The other day, Dhoni in an interview praised this Jadeja and said, we all know waht he can do.
Well. We fans know that this Jadeja has consistantly destroyed india's chances in world cups. That is what he has been doing in every t20 worldcup that he has been part of. The guy is good at nothing. He cant bat, he cant bowl unless the pitch suits him and he cant field. Yet the midas touch Dhoni calls him the best allrounder around.
He is still a better captain than many others. But the guy cannot be trusted to even pick a nmae for a new born child let alone pick a team.

If it is test cricket that we are talking about, india wins because of guys like Sachin and Laxman and Sewag. I am not sure the midas touch dhoni has done anything useful - such as taking great catches or scoring tons of runs.!
