After such pathetic performance by Indian team and lots of pressuire from fans and media,BCCI is still able to give Dhoni the 100% power and his selected players chance to go on & on after repeated failures. Fans are angry on team selection, we are over billion population watchin cricket, still the mini BCCI group is able to exploit the country on its own will. Indian cricket is no more cricket, its just bunch of arrogant, uneducated, skilless players running in the field for 5 days. When it comes to T20 - they just whirl their bats and get lcky runs, bowlers are lucky as batsmen tend to get out by trying abnormal shots. But test cricket is classical and it requires real talent and mental strenght which Indian team lacks. Indian team look aggrigant and aggressive, but internally they are a bunch cowards and very feebile in their mind. The give up easily and show no intent of fight back.
FRom 1995 we were used to at least 6 world class performers in the team,- Sachin, Dravid, Ganguly, harbhajan, Kumble and Zaheer. We have to get used to the fact that our present team is a very ordinary one, which borders on the mediocre at times.
This situation will not change in a hurry as it could take decades to get the combination of the 90s again.
Just wish our youngsters all the best, but don't expect too much.

Yes, the present team contains one plitician as captain,two spent forces Shewag & SRT,two Technically incompetent persons Yuvi & kohli,half fit Zaheer & Gambhir .Unless the malady is corrected with new fellows team India will get battered all over the world. BCCI can put an order that players should not go for Ad & if they do they can get only 25 % & then we can know how many of these greedy fellows willing to play for country.

hahahah....sky is the limit for your sense of humour.
Dhoni should be ashamed of his performance both as a test batsman and as a captain. In terma of batting he would probably figure amongst the last as ther eis talentted crop of wicketkeeper batsman like sangakkara, matt prior, kamran akmal, marlon samuels and the SA and Australian keepers.
As a test captain he avoids reisks, plays safe, lacks innovation and puts personal preferences in team selection. He lacks judgement of the pitch and doesn't communicate on the field with bowlers or fielders. By forcing people to make pitches to suit spinners he has set a bad example of a loser who is afraid of the Englishmen. Despite that we lost. We got drubbed in Aus, Eng and now at home as well. Kapil dev was removed from captaincy for just playing one bad shot in the semifinals in 1987. But there are different benchmarks for Dhoni.

Dhoni has links with D gang & BCCI is controlled by D gaang. Can't u understand from the days of Azhar match fixing started & only who is toeing the lines can be in Team. South Indians will not fall prey to selling India thats why they are not in Team & useless Dhoni & his buddies find place in team inspite of mediocre performance to earn money in Betting.
As soon as you reach 50,no bother,get out as your place is secured for next match probably for next 5 eventhough you have not performed for the last 20 innings!!!!
