That's right. Dhoni has scored runs where guys who were selected only for their batting have all failed miserably. What can the captain do if the entire other 10 guys fail. The blame is entirely on IPL, excess cricket with no time for training, The coach, surplus money & other luxuries given to our players & Indian pitches made for slow bowlers in India. The performance of our guys in England was disgusting. Their salaries need to be slashed as they have brought shame to the nation.

captain can do many things if other 10 guys fail. Our bowling dept was better than batting. If players are not coming good give chance to others. Why you need to keep them for 5 test, 10 batting and total score less than 50. Its shame.
His performance is good enough to continue as wixket keeper batsman certainly not as captain..he has since outlived his utility as a leader to lead the team .....the momentum generated by Ganguli is now over...hence the weaknesses are baring out and we see the team in tatters...

Unfortunately not. Or perhaps we are expecting too much of the Indian team in this format of the game. Rather, they have been pretty consistent in loosing abroad and it's not an odd performance here or there and doesn't seem likely to turn around in quick time. Mind you, India was playing a against a side that was going through a poor run themselves so the loss, especially the manner, is all the more disgraceful and disgusting. Imagine, in the 30 innings played between the No.2, 3 and 4 batsmen, there is hardly a half century to talk of! Why is everyone blaming Dhoni only?
