Its dropped catches which every time turn the game around.... Every time bowler can not create chances to have LBW or clean bowled...fielders also have to play the role... English players converted half chances and restricted INDIA to low totals...whereas INDIANS drop full chances with butter fingers and allow them to make big totals on board...and changed the scnario...
'm not a big fan of Dhoni . But to all : Answer one simple question . Is cricket an individual game ?? Like Singles in Badminton OR Tennis Or T T ?? Where result of the match depends only on performance of one person ?? No . Its a Team Event , A Team Work . Can one man win matches for the country single handedly , Always ?? NO MSD has at least scored once a 82 & once a very vital 72 in this series . What other TEN players are doing ?? What is their contribution ?? What will he do if all our regular batsman & bowlers failed ?? Should he remove his gloves & start bowling ?? OR Should he alone score 300 runs in every innings ??

It's not about individuals, it's about TEAM. That's why more sensibility is needed in picking players to form the team. The ones scoring quick goodies in T20 are not fit at all, either in temperament or talent (barring one or two individuals) to represent in a test match, and when captain is involved in picking up the team and favoring individuals, he is certainly to be blamed.

Dhoni is an amazing player and Captain in ODI format, but not in Test Match. He should be relieved of the Test match captaincy burden from his shoulders.Selectors need to find a good replacement for him in Test cricket (Virat is not a captaincy material)

Scoring 82 or so is not enough to bail out the team.Even if he alone scores 300 or 400 he will not be banned from next match. you are a small fan of cricket....
If not Dhoni who else? Kohli?. Wht is his score in the series. No one else has experience. First stop the gambling called IPL & let these cricketers sweat in domestic cricket.
Test is not like 20-20, indian players are behind money, we can not except discipline schin, rahul or laxman . doni pramoteing jadaja intests , koli takes it as granted, discarding binny, roit.s attitude , 2 test lost because of rohit & rahane both throug the wls bhuvi not able to get runs so india lost , give rest to koli he can go on honey moooooon
