Take a look at the recent records of away from home conditions, you will find most of the team on the same boat including Mark waugh,s dream team of australia.if he is so confident send this austrailian team to India,they will face the same onslaught which india is facing even worse,the perfect example is England recently.

Yeah! he has lost his MAGICAL touch which he had initial days while captining.even MR Gavaksar mentioned in ENGLAND series
Mark Waugh termed the Indian as a "defensive captain", who just sits back and wait for the opposition to make mistakes.
He is 100 % correct by the above quote. dhoni should learn how to captain his side in overseas. he should learn the skills from ravi shastri and sunil gavaskar.
Re: Waugh comment is RIGHT?

Hahahaha. All those sitting in commentator's box (Ravi Shastri, Gavaskar, Ganguly) have never won a series in Aus. They are good at only commenting.
Only is BCCI bans overseas tours, especially to Aus, SA and Eng. Indian team should be allowed to visit only Zim, Bangladesh, NZ, WI, Ireland, Kenya, etc

With this strategy India can become no. 1 and also personal records can be achieved easily.
India would be white washed in this series as they were in England and then Dhoni, Tendulkar and others would probably would show their skills(in whitewashing) by appearing in Surf Excel or Ariel detergent advts so that they can show how to get WHITE-WASHED!!! Shame on them

Hummmm U sure have a career in media or Ad industry..not in cricket though...Making such Ads before even half the series is not yet over is sign of inferiority...
Indians won the world cup because it was held in India!!Nothing else!!!This Indian team(including Sachin Ten but barring Dravid) lacks potential- and that is the BASIC ISSUE !!!Trainig is a secondary issue !!!Many times I find Pakistanis to be immensely talented much more than Indians although they have indulged in Match Fixing!!!Our only performing asset Zaheer Khan also learnt from Wasim Akram -the Pakistani Legend!!! Our bowlers look like asthama patients and filelders look like wildlife observers!!!Batsmen are blind -living to the true meaning of Bat!!
Mark Waugh...ur spot on. india shud be ranked lower probably last amongst test playing nations. They dont' deserve to be up there. Sachin Tendulkar is God they say but only at home..away he becomes a mere mortal.
I am not giving any rank outside india.Even afganistan,scotland,ireland,neitherland play with fighting spirit.But team india cannot.THat is proved outside india if world cup organised only kapil dev type captain win no chance for dhoni

Kapil dev was a world class allrounder and captain.Dhoni has won the world cup in India and not ouside.Kapil is all time great
