Dhoni has been playing an anchor role in almost each inning while so called our future captain/s are having the feet of clay every time they go out for bat. Be it Pujara, Kohli or Gambhir. It will be too unfair to ask for Dhoni's head at this juncture. He has been showing his true self even at this moment of poor performance from all other members. He must be motivated to take team along and perform better as a team

It would be better for Crowe to keep his mouth shut when his advice is not sought as to whether Dhoni should be retained or not. Indian Cricket Board will decide about it.
Re: Dhoni good only for ODI & T20

and the same dhoni has once again played very well against England to take India to some respectable total .. ! I wonder why everyone expects Dhoni to play well in each and every innings that he plays !! what are stalwarts like kohli, pujara (a joke), gambhir, jadeja, rahane have been doing ???? it was Dhoni's 82 runs that took us near to 150 mark. stop blaming one man for no reason. this is a team game and they all (except) Dhoni) have predecided NOT TO PLAY WELL come what may !
My New India Test Team: Openers : 1. Murali Vijay 2. K L Rahul 3. Pujara 4. Virat Kohli (c) 5. Ajinkya Rahane 6. Manoj Tiwari 7. Naman Ojha (wk) 8. Amit Mishra 9. Varun Aron 10. Ishant Sharma 11. Mohd Sami
dhoni's captaincy brain is poor in test cricket ...but it's not that bad considering he is the most successful indian captain ever !..also he never really had the support of his team when needed...if bowlers are not good enough whatcan e really do...these experts just need excuse for india's losses...and its not really the captaincy only its mainly the poor batting ,fielding and bowling...
before sehwag ,india used to be always 28 for 3 and then tendu had to sit for 2 hours for 20 runs. when sehwag came, india steadied and usually got to 80-1 and tendu also relaxed and scored big

Please check the statistics. Sehwag made his test debut in 2001 about 12 years after Tendulkar had made his test debut. Till 2001, to the best of my memory, Tedulkar never used to take time to settle down whatever may be scoreboard.
Mr.Dhoni, jadeja, Virat kolhi[useless brat of the lot] & Sekhar Dhawan should be kicked out of test team as none has commitment and temperament and whats common is all these 4 players are shameless.
Re: Team cannot score more than 100 without dhoni

Right said. The entire team can score 99 run but its just 1 run of dhoni that will take India to a 100. I think you have watched only one or two innings where he has scored on dead wickets and kept your eyes closed over all the other series that he has played.
