no competations for him

since no seniors in india team to tell him or compete with him so he thinks his decision is final but time has come to think for a new capatain in test match & one day also because he is only in t20 format is best he cant handle in test or one day because he & others has removed the seniors already from the squad

You can get back to either of Sehwag or Gambhir, remember how Australia carried Ponting to groom youngsters.....carrying Dhoni would set bad example with his politics

Sehwag is widely respected and already attained legendary status so youngsters will respect him even he doest not score tons of runs but he still can get good 30's & 40's

Gambhir is fighter even if he is out of form he still can raise the game with responsiblity

Aussies never carried Ponting. That's not their style. they forced him to retire when the time came..

Just compare what Dhoni said at the end of the defeat and what Clarke said when Aussies lost the test.

How dhoni is sucessfull as batsman???
by kalyan karpurapu on Aug 20, 2014 11:54 PM  | Hide replies

Please dont compare him with Richards......there is one more trick how Dhoni succeeded as batsman........

1. 1st or 2nd year in international cricket is like honeymoon period when world does not know you
2. Once you are renowned batsman world will analyze you completely and come with strategies to contain you this is where lot of Inernational players go into oblivion but only the best will evolve themselves over the years

3. Dhoni was lucky 1st he was captain and 2nd rest of the batting lineup are agressive batsman.....Sehwag/Sachin/Gambhir/Yuvraj/Raina/Kohli

So he used captaincy to his advantage just analyze when he used to come up the order..........in seaming conditions and quality bowlers he used to stay back otherwise he used to come up the order to pick his weak bowlers..........and also if against quality bowlers he will avoid taking risks.....

Since rest are all agressive batsman run rate is never an issue that is how he survived and maintained healthy average

Dhoni is useless

Dhoni is an over-paid scoundrel who selects the team as he pleases. His track record as a captain wicket-kkeper and batsman is below average. He is no Farokh Engineer, Alex Stewart or Adam Gilchrist. He has been hyped by the BCCI establishment. His Test record on overseas tours is next to nothing. It is time for the Indian public and cricket and business establishments to distribute the money to several talented players rather than spend all the money on a few grossly under-achieving celebrities.

Dhoni lacks common sense below are examples:Challenge me!!!!
by kalyan karpurapu on Aug 20, 2014 11:01 PM  | Hide replies

1. 5 Indian Bowlers can not take 20 wickets(Test match), how can you rate a captain if he picks up 3.5 bowlers in ENGLISH conditions
Jadeja is part-timer at least in seaming conditions. He is not spinner at all in first place he puts the ball time and again in same place and need assistance from pitch then only he can be effective.
So how can you rate his as best captain if he does not know this basic

2. Ashwin has better batting average than Jadeja in almost all the formats of the game (Jadeja's batting average in T20 is 10)- How will you rate a captain who still picks Jadeja ahead of R Ashwin

3. How will you justify picking up 2 spinners in seaming conditions he did it in Australia as well.

4. Rahane/MTiwari were benched for 2 years just for sake of Dhoni's chamchas, Rahane was finally lucky that he got break and he is proving he calibre. Tiwari was still unlucky guy...........

Dont dare pointing like idiotic people dhoni has given him opportunity and spoke in support.......Captain needs to give confidence to his players through his actions not in words

Ganguly & Lakshman were more or less finished, but Dravid was still good enough for acouple of years, as was Kumble.

But both had to leave, more or less given indication to leave or be removed.

by Happy Friday on Aug 20, 2014 10:55 PM

But he has to find better openers. He kept maintaining one bad decision from 2012 w.r.t openers and is costing him badly. If he still stick with the same openers it will eventually throw him out. After Sachin - Sehwag - Gambhir we have terrible bad openers.

ODI & T20 Wcup are attributed to Dhoni's brillience(ZERO contribution as player) now you have to admit that defeats are also because of HIM

Today current defeats are attributed to TEAM not to his captaincy how is this fair......

If captincy is measured on records today DHONI stands as worst captain ever in history of cricket to have most number of overseas defeats as captain surpassing S Fleming & B Lara

Dhoni is not fluke but had genuine talent. He scored against Pakistan in Pakistan and against South Africa.

But even since BCCI became commercial and Srini took over, earning money by fixing or whatever, took his attention way from Cricket.

He was the best thing to happen to Indian cricket after pathetic WC batsmen like Mongia Bharat Reddy, Surinder Khanna.

The last match winning WC batsmen (before Dhoni lost focus) were Engineer & Kirmani and to an extent Kiran More.

Alas, the commercialism and fixing of BCCI spoiled him.

They made Ian Botham (perhaps the best all rounder along with Sobers and now Kallis).

He failed miserably, both as aplayer and captain.

Midway in aseries against Australia Mike Brearly was made the captain, removing Botham.

From that match itself, Botham returned with a stunning all round display and beat England.

Read some history abt cricket.

If captain is not responsible, why was WC winning captain Kapil Dev removed after just a couple of series failure?

Why was Ganguly removed just a few series after as captain just after being the first (and perhaps the last captain) to beat Pakistan in Pakistan?
