For best ever India had ever producted, yes.

But also, a team can be as successful as its team members' performance. abroad.

THis has least to do with superstars. But match winners

What Dada had done no one to match because at that time the biggest enemy of Indian team Chappel was the coach. So, he had to fight from internal politics, humiliation and then perorm a hard task. Only Dada can do this. If Dhoni is great then Dada is the greatest. The other who can fit in the valuable captain list is Kpildev and Azharuddin, no one else.

Feel Good by statistics ????
by Pramit Sen on Mar 05, 2013 04:13 PM  | Hide replies

Only statistics is not enough. Quality is very important. Do you think the game Aus playing is their actual performance? Then Aus should be termed as Zimbabwe. Both the tests show reluctance on Aus players to perform. Aus came in India with their Ranji Team (C grade team) and not with their original team. I dont know why. Is their any unofficial agreement with BCCI to help India to roar like a lion after defeating a Ranji kind of team ? MSDhoni should be moved up and up as he is the captain of Board's president's IPL team ? These questions remain unanswered....

Mate, this is the state of the Aussie team now. It's their best squad that they have now. The only thing questionable is the selection of the XI for the 2nd test, namely Doherty ahead of Lyon. In the next test, we should see Lyon back and possibly Usman Khawaja in place of Hughes.

The whole comparission is based on statistics only..... a very very bad way of comparission so very typical of duffers at rediff.

Can you recollect the strength of teams when Ganguly was the captain????? Will Dhoni survive 3 days in a test playing against Steve Waugh's team even in India???? Ganguly lead the team which gave back aussies in Australia.

If statistics were the yardstick, Tendulkar and many others who have scored more runs then Bradman would be considered better then Bradman.

If dada had never played, there will be some body else to be projected.

Atleast in my case, i pojectmy ambitions and aspirations and revenge, and anger through somebody, so that i feel, i as an individual has a value.

But only if somebody else exist. I am a weak non self valued indian youth

Jitesh, Ganguly had VVS, Dravid and Sachin as well as Bhajji and Kumble at their peak. Dhoni is also facing a mini crisis like Clarke but the good news is that Pujara and Kohli seem to be the answer for Dravid and VVS (at least for the time being and at home) whereas Hughes and out of form Watson seem to be the wrong choice to replace Punter and Hussey. Henriques though seems to be a decent test batsman but needs to come in at 5 not 7.

Dada had more wins against minnows than Dhoni. Dhoni has never played against Zim. FYI, Kenya is not a test team. You can't call SL minnows especially in SL. I know Dada was good but Dhoni may have just overtaken him. Remember he's a keeper as well and managing keeping and captaincy is very tough. In fact no keeper has survived as captain for this long and Dhoni is more fit than Ganguly, as he hardly misses any matches.

even in this match MSD missed 3 catches.
No wktkeeper continued as captain- as once u loose 10 out of 12 test & 3 consecutive wcup t-20, y will be kicked out from team for sure as a captain. same rulde doesn't apply on MSD.
Sangarkara/Deviller/Mclumn etc far better wktkeeprt batsman than dhoni who also captained the team. Even gilcrist/mat prior far better batsman 7 keeper than dhoni but did;t take captaincy

Even in this match Tendi failed misearbly. No side can afford to have their no.4 fail continuously.He should have been kicked out long back. Amla &Clarke have always been far better performers. Same rule does not apply to tingu.

Ashish, Dhoni would have been dropped as a test captain but to his luck India did not have any fitting replacements. Sachin, Dravid and VVS were / are on the way out. Gauti and Viru struggling for form. And Kohli a newcomer. So he had to be retained as the Captain. He has done well in this series so far but his real test would be the next tour to SA.

Ganguly build a team and acheived a good results.Dhoni had a luck so he also enjoyed results from team built by ganguly. Now only actually he is building a team lets us wait and watch for the results of it. if his team delivers him the result he want then dhoni is best captain ever.

Ganguly's players - Balaji, Deep das gupta etc..other main players were already there

Dhoni - Jaddu, Raina. He supports more of these.

A succesful captain always have some group. Its not political
