Captaincy: 1.Ponting was captain far too long than needed , should have been dropped from captain after 2009 ashes Aus would have benefitted 2.Dhoni : Won mostly in ind/sl .but has WC to his credit. He too has been in the job for 4 yrs , a normal shelf life of any captain 3.Strauss : 3 good yrs. But now innovatipn needed . Ian Chappell pointed it out that strauss is comfortable with bresnan rather than the attacking and more pacy finn. Strauss likes to make game safe before attacking. I think the most attacking and innovative skipper currently is Clarke from australia.
Strauss is now on the wane(3 yrs and lack of imagination) and may be someone like Cook can be given the reins after the indian tour.

dhoni has won in aus and sa too...so dont be so harsh on dhoni...he has better record than many captains (supposedly better than him)...
naysayers say he will be dropped as a player and captain for a long time but it has not happened yet...
just because of 2 white washes in test you are going overboard about his bad foreign record which in reality is not so bad at all excpet those 2 whitewashes...

Clarke did not play the odi series in WI this yr, check ur facts. Eng series is the 1st one he lost since taking over the captaincy and really it was off season and for commercial purposes
