Re: Dhoni will be back to ensure another whitewash

You are absolutely correct. Dhoni is a mediocre who has been elevated to an exalted position.
There is no doubt that Kohli played extremely well but I feel he should be held responsible for the loss.
When 5 wickets fell he should have told Saha to play defensively to at least safe fron defeat but he wanted to become Hero and never said to Saha to calm down instead he encouraged him for Win and Secondly when Saha was out, Kohli should have gone for a Draw at least but again he made a blunder by hitting and got out so all 8 wickets fell just in third session ,

Dhoni is a Walt Disney player in overseas tours -- absolute Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck!
Re: Lousy Umpiring

The white umpires took advantage of the fact that India did not opt for DRI and favored Australia. People will argue otherwise, but several Test umpires including the late J. Subbuswami (top IAS officer too) and Punjabi (settled in Los Angeles) have told me that wrong decisions were mostly deliberately given. They stated that in most cases the umpires knew the truth.
One this we must appreciate is that Kohl's breavness to chase the total. It is a very good sign. Other captians would not have done it. But Kohli did it. It is great so see a challenging caption for India in Test cricket. Some of the middle order players did not come out of nerve. Even after playing nicely, Vijay came under pressure at personal milestone but not Kohli.
