Cricket is going back to Wadekar days.Indian must be governed as it was done during Pandit Jawahar Lal Nehru days.No FDI please.We wnt to live Indiraji days of Socialism
Enough is enough!!! Irrespective of the outcome of the Nagpur test, Dhoni has to quit go now, not only from the captaincy but from the test eleven itself.Plain and simple, he does not have the class of representing the country. His very performance speaks, needs no elaboration......

Not only that..Like Mumbai it might boomerang..For a change England has much more quality in spin bowling than India.
in last 2 years 2011 and 2012 dhoni has played 19 tests 33 innings 4 not out 859 runs 29.62 average 144 highest 100s-1 50s-7 batting position 7
in last 2 years 2011 and 2012 gambhir has played 16 tests 29 innings 0 not out 907 runs 31.27 average 93 highest 100s-0 50s-7 batting position opener
in last 2 years 2011 and 2012 sehwag has played 15 tests 28 innings 0 not out 889 runs 31.75 average 117 highest 100s-1 50s-5 batting position opener
in last 2 years 2011 and 2012 kohli has played 13 tests 24 innings 2 not out 788 runs 35.81 average 116 highest 100s-2 50s-5
tell me what is the difference between sehwag gambhir kohli and dhoni that mohinder is making such a big noise about?
the stats above clearly expose mohinder. he wants like any regional selector to have players from his region in the team and in important positions. he wants players like sehwag, gambhir, kohli and mishra in the team and as captains or vice captains if he can manage that. according to him dhoni has no technique etc. to play in test cricket...mohinder if that is so then how do you explain that he has matched your favourite quality test players like sehwag gambhir kohli in stats...that too coming so low down the order... mohinder you say dhoni is protected by higher ups...so you want to protect your favorites sehwag, gambhir and kohli? If dhoni is not qualified/equipped to play tests even as a player if one goes by the figures of last 2 years then are the players that you are backing qualified?

Well said, Sunil...Mr. Amarnath is nowhere and to get attention he gives such statement....These stats should be shown to him as he is advocating for the two people for captaincy....

it is important to make a distinction between performances at home(expected ) and performances abroad (commendable). MSD as captain and as wicketkeeper has failed in these aspects - instead of stepping down gracefully, MSD speaks of taking up the challenge - what has he been doing after WC2011? MSD continues to be captain because of a certain ownerOfCSK

what is the CSK angle? even if dhoni is forcefully retired from international cricket, he is going to play for CSK as captain. Like Ganguly you are also commenting with hidden agenda and hurt ego.
why amarnath forget this delhi players are also not performed along with Dhoni,also why Amarnath object to biggest batting liability sachin tendulkar supported by politician and mumbai industralists,when many places in team reserved for regionalisam or political,industralist backed spoilt players like sachin,sehwag,who not playing to show Dhoni down,all peopel jealous of shoni endorsements above Sachin?
