Hope Wall received a sbstantial sum from dhobi to support him.
When anybody is a liability they should be removed.
No body is a born captain.

Dravid himself was a failure!

His contributions are well known only as a player, but never as a skipper! No one is indispensable and there is someone who is waiting to carry the captaincy baton into the future.

It might be an interesting act, as he will bat more maturely.

it's a convergence of mind as well as heart. He will not speak double standards.

SIMPLE
Replacement
by SIMPLE on Dec 18, 2012 03:39 PM

It is too much necessary. When a Captain after loosing a match, only blames his players and don't take any constructive step, why should we allow him for keeping him as a Captain. Replacement is urgently needed. Initially there may be some problem, but after some time definitely a good team will be there for fighting with the other teams. I propose the name of Sehbag for the same. What is the harm to try ?

Dhoni is still the best of the current lot
by crusader on Dec 18, 2012 03:23 PM  | Hide replies

Former cricketers/ tidbit commentators are just plain jealous of Dhoni and his achievements both on and off the field. This guy has given India a lot of proud moments under his stewardship often leading from the front. Virat Kohli could be nurtured for the future. However Gambhir/Sehwag etc are arrogant and have no flair for captaincy.India needs Dhoni to lead and be responsible as he himself agrees.

Dhoni-Replacement
by Gokul Sharma on Dec 18, 2012 03:20 PM

Dhoni is certainly under big pressure due to Captaincy in all three(3) formats of the Game. If Dhoni is relieved Test-Captaincy, only younger player like, Kohli should be given the duty, where Dhoni can be included to play as WK-Batsman. And, all new and younger players be given chance, eliminating Sachin, Sehwag, Zaheer, Harbhajan, and even Gautam. A new-look Team can be able to perform better in the years to come. Dhoni, if can not perform well in the Next 5-6 matches as WK-Batsman, he also should be relieved from Test-Team. There should be strong & definite action in this regard.

Dravid is spot on...
by Sanjay on Dec 18, 2012 03:10 PM

I agree... Dhoni should be relieved of Test Captaincy but... nobody I can see that would take the role and be successful at it.
