No need to criticise the 3-0 loss. Sack this d-g Dhhoobhii from team for his failure as captain,keeper & batsmen.It is the way the Dhoni's men lost which is pathetic.
"Kapil slams Dhoni, seniors for not motivating youngsters" All the seniors want to secure their slot, look at tendulkar and gang have done to Kohli and Rohit. Look at what was done by selectors lobby to RP Singh who was most suited for England after zaheer. Look at how they pushed Mishra when pragyan and rohit are dual spin attack that would have stalled Angrez run chase because angrez are more used to pace and certain style of spin that Harbhajan and Mishra practice. this is why Pragyan was called to country in AngrezLand to get used to him and analyse him.

correction - pragyan and rahul are dual spin attack that would have stalled Angrez run chase because angrez are more used to pace and certain style of spin that Harbhajan and Mishra practice.
players like rahul to stop T20 run chase at will by braod, prior, bell, etc.

The seniors are just jealous cats, but the truth is that Dhoni is the greatest cricket captian of cricket history,folks, it was Dhoni and his team members who made Indians TOP ONE Team and NOT Kapil or Saurav or Anybody else,Right??? Losing or Winning a game is common in sports,right???

It is not losing.It is the way & huge margin of loss when you are No 1 team. It is only Kapil who is selfless unlike Gavaskar. It is only Dada who instilled confidence & play fire with fire for Indian players. It is foolish & arrogance of Dhoni by omitting quality players like Badri,Vijay,Jaffer,Rohit,Ashwin,Karthik,Pujara & selected his Samchaas kohli,Harbajan,raina,yuvi.

Why Waste precious man or woman hours on such a time wasting game as Test Cricket?It is time TO Ban Test Cricket FOREVER to save indian economy& to save hindustan itself from misery&poverty too.All Indians who watched this & last TEST must ask themselves whether they have NOT wasted so many hours&caused the country billions of dollars by wasting productive time for nation-building or NOT!?Shame one billion people are still continuing with playing boring& time wastingTests&,etc,WE must launch a national agitation to BAN TEST matches&3 Day&ODI Matches FOREVER. india& poor countries MUST ban Test Cricket& 3 day macthes forever&Play ONLY T20 matches so that millions of man or woman hours are NOT lost watching monotonous Test cricket& 3 day macthes,etc.It is possible. This game of cricket lasting many days was invented by British looters like inventing british double agent mahatma gandhee& dirty trick of non-violence, to fool people of colonies& to make them lazy&morrrons FOREVER too by addciting them with all types of dirty tricks.
Dhoni's so-called tactics never worked because honestly speaking, Dhonee never had any tactic at all...it was one or the other player performing in the last 3 years...Sehwag in tests, Gambhir in 2009, Kohli in ODI's this year, Raina sometime before that, Yuvraj Singh in world cup etc....That's why India won matches in the last few years.......And not because of any captaincy...captaincy is a big lie which has been perpetrated by the corrupt media...can you think beyond captaincy and count the no. of occassions when Dhoni's decision really made a difference?...if you look carefully, Dhoni had no contribution at all...Dhoni himself was the non-performer all along, quietly pocketing all glory heaped on him by a corrupt media for no reason at all...but this where Dhoni's luck ends as it should because he is useless after all
Surrendering yourselves with out any fight???You are always giving excuses....Your top order batsmen are in worst form including you for the first two test matches.Don't carry the senior cricketers for their past performances......

exactly, losing is not a problem but way of losing sure is the matter of convern and put question mark as his abilities as a keeper,batsman and a captain.

BCCI& rulers are still behaving as slaves of Westerners, shame they have appointed white skinned westerners as coach,etc paying millions of dollars though we have excellent indian coaches like jimmy amarnath, madan lal,etc who can do better jobs than foreigners.BCCI& government must NOT allow more than 2 foreign players in each team&Give greater opportunity to indians.Shame that BCCI& rulers are behaving as slaves of westerners even now or are they getting huge kick-backs in the deals involving forein players,etc,Millions of cricket fans mustNOT allow our country to be looted again by foreigners&foreign agents.Hope millions of indians are listening& give justice to indian public& to national honour&pride too.
This is not one series loss... Mr. Dhoni.. your batsmen don't have a clue how to play the English bowlers. The team cannot play one full day facing the bowlers .. and your bowlers cannot bowl to get wickets. It is the lack of application, dedication and the will to improve their techniques. You and your team are used to make quick runs in 20 runs and also quick money.. the attitude does not work in Tests in England. Better keep your mouth shut and admit that you do not have the skills to play in England. You will be happy to belt 50s and 100s on flat tracks in Bollywood style in front of cricket crazy mass audience. Big names in the team will not win matches.. performance by the team players does.

these are the same players who were winning against England for last seven years .what is the past record of England in 80s,90,00 .they were the worst .it is a part of game nobody remain at top or bottom permanently Aussies captain Kim Hughes cried when west indies white washed them and handed over the captaincy to Allen border and rest is history similarly westindians cried when Steve Waugh and co thrashed them at their home turf first time in two decade so it is the part and parcel life .nobody can take away the credit of Indian team for what they achieved in last few years .it because of their past performance people like you got a chance to comment on them .if they were an unknown commodity nobody woul have bothered ,there is plenty of thing what we can do rather than mourning for one bad performance
its not a series loss Mr captain thats the issue, its the manner of loss....190 odd runs, 340 runs and then an innings and 240 odd runs...batsmen unable to handle swing/seam and bounce, bowlers with no control/pace..captaincy lacking direction, captain not scoring/keeping properly...and now wait for the whitewash...
