That way Dhoni and Ganguly happen to be the only captains in recent times who managed to do well in NZ, SA (Last tour) and Aus (Under Ganguly)

Every Indian captain has managed to do decently well in NZ!! NZ is by no means a great team!! It is just one among the many AayaRams and GayaRams in cricket like India, Srilanks, Pakistan and West Indies!! They are not as hopeless as Zimbabwe or Bangladesh or Kenya or Chile or Peru or Nicaragua or Honolulu though!!

Issue is not about winning or losing BUT about something called consistency!!

A good captain is one who performs pretty good IRRESPECTIVE of the strength of the team.

An extraordinary captain is one who turns defeats into victories (through strategies which Indians lack due to lack of BRAIN CELLS) and brings the best out of ordinary or even below-average players. Take the case of either StephenFleming or SteveWaugh or MarkTaylor.

No one glorified RickyPonting or CliveLloyd for their captaincy because their teams did the job for them!! With such teams, a captain is only needed for attending the toss!!

Correction here.... if the mighty Aussies can struggle in indian pitches so can we in pitches abroad... its easier said than done blaming the captain... Are our pitches and discipline in selection and training the same compared to Aussies and SA?? I believe that is what needs to be addressed and done first...

It doesnt really matter whether you and I accept it, but the fact remains that Dhoni and Ganguly have been the most successful captains that India has produced even though neither of them had good Test victories abroad.

He is Captain Cool for sure ... I havent seen him panicking even in the pressure situations. In fact thats good sign. That way even Dravid was Mr. Cool. The major difference here is the victories that Dhoni had in the shorter formats of the game which carried him over its shoulders even in the test matches.

Actually, Dhoni is made so big because the media wanted a small town icon from the North Indian states and Dhoni fitted perfectly for the role. Dhoni is more of a media creation than real substance.

He was initially good as a master-blaster. But as time passed, he became both a hopeless batsman and an ever worser wicketKeeper with looseFingers!

The only thing left for him to stay in the team was LUCK to stay as a captain and he has that in plenty!!

still we have won more matches with the youngsters than the seniors...

just take a look at how many tests and odis these seniors like sachin dravid laxman ganguly sehwag kumble bhajji have played and in how matches india won and in how many matches india lost...

then check the records of new generation players like kohli, pujara, raina, gambhir, praveen, dhoni, ashwin, ojha, jadeja, ishant, bhuvanesh kumar, and others ...and see how many tests and odis they have played and how many of them india won and how many india lost...

it would be really an eye opener for you...
