If captain is as good as his team, why do we need of a captain?
Capatin is an important part of cricket team, he should be aggressive and ability think on his feat.
A selfish, coward , mediocre like Dhobi can not be good captain.
Coward---Only a coward will chose to field after selecting an extra batsman for a regular bowler
Selfish--bothering about his own reputation and brand, whenever opener give good start or we are playing on flat slow pitches, he promotes himself ahead of betters like Rohit, Raina, UV. But when we are in bad position or playing on good pitch, he hides behind those players.

i think you are absolutely wrong. dhoni himself said that if openers give a good start,we need to capitalise on it.So dhoni comes in that position to get quick runs.That is the only reason. If you think still you are right,i will tell you one thing,please see it positevely.In Asia cup, 1)in bangla match,when wickets fell and India in pressure he came that only critical point of time,scored 36* and make sure no trouble to game. 2)In pakistan match even,when we dont have sachin,yuvraj,dhoni took responsibility and came when india were 80 for 2,make 100 run partnership with gambir,scored half century and made some very useful contribution. 3)in useless league match with srilanka,he came lower order scored 40 runs when team desperately needed his support ofcouse he got with rohit bad call of run.Thus give oppurtunity to other batsman to bat top of order. 4)again,in final he came ahead of them and make sure that same thing in league match doesnot repeat here. Also in absence of yuvraj,we need a hitter in slog overs,so he gave raina that place,which helped us to win in pakistan match with raina hitting in slog overs. Please sorry me if i am wrong,but please it with positive thoughts.
Let the other team members know that they can not under perform and enjoy parties and at the same time get their captain sacked. The other team cricketers have blessings of the various selectors and management and so Gary Kirsten and MS Dhoni are losing control over them. Change of captain would only send a wrong signal regarding the ethics in cricket.
Retain Dhoni as captain until world cup next year but start looking for T20 captain for next world cup. Pay the players as per their performances in a tournament. Gurantee minimum payment. After that everything is reciprocal to their performance. It is a shame what they did in world cup twice in a row now. Someone has to take responsibility for the defeat but do not make someone scapegoat who does not deserve.
