When dravid was dropped from one day squad everyone lauded genusid to srikanth,but he dropped dravid only for sake of vijay ,and even now without dravid and laxman there are no match winnwers in test for india,With tendulkar infront these two people where sent to hind sight by pundits and newspapers
i have said this time and again...dhoni's position in the Indian team is on the strength of his recent endorsements and the millions that the media and corporates have invested in him to make him a brand...any neutral observer of the team would say that based on his performance he should have been out 3 years back...how else will you explain the media cacophony when dhodi was wrongly given out...as if it would have made a difference...and also watch the credit Dhoni gets undeservingly every time india wins,every time some other bowler or batsman performs exceptionally...the laurels ultimately rest on the so called captain "COOL(sic)" who had apparently made them perform even though his individual performance had been worse than club-level...notice how how his shortcoming and exceptionally poor performance of late everywhere - Tests, T290's have been selectively blanked out by the media and the commentators who are hand-in-glove with the advertisement agencies..for them the corporates are the bread and butter...the corporates have madeDShoni a demi-god..so any criticism of Dhoni is blasphemy..evrytthing, every bad decision that Dhoni has made as a captain, he has been ultra-defensive at best has been made to look like a master move by these commentators..Dhoni's captaincy is the biggest myth in the world of sports..in recent times, raina, gambhir and sehwag has also won matches as captain with teams that were far ordinary,we do need a 10 man Indian

we do not need a 10 man Indian team with a non-playing captain whose only purpose in staying in the team is to serve the vested interests of the corporate and advertising agencies...anyone can captain this team and perform just as well because of the individual briliance...indian public should see through this media hype and false propaganda
If u drop dravid/laxman from this team- It looks club level test team & could easily betaen by WI b grade team by margin of 3-0. all test series win gifted to politicain dhoni by great trimurty sachin/dravid/laxman

Dhoni test average outside In WI 2006, 24 In SA 2006, 26 In AUS 2007, 17.62 In SA 2011, 35.8 Present WI series- 5.75 Also dhoni after playing 26 T-20 intl has not scored a single fifty, no match winning inning, no MOM & pathetic strike rate of 110 (one of the lowest for any batsman in T-20 at his batting position)
