the players wanted to play under virat and i must say they played really well in the first test even though they lost it, it was a good performance. but the moment dhoni took over things got messed up

I agree to you 100%. Its Dhoni's simple presence in dressing room that could be depressing for others. Hence no one wants to give more than 50% effort as they know that Dhoni has his own politics and is stubborn. As long as India continues with Dhoni, they will keep loosing cricket.

In spite of pathetic captaincy of Dhoni overseas, it is surprising that selectors(courtesy BCCI bosses) sticking to MSD.God only can help India's cricket
is dhoni not responsible for lack of communication? he is the only captain in world till date in cricket history who never blamed himself for any loss but always took credit for wins

he has blamed himself for loss too many times and always remind in the background after wins...
After Sorav noother captain did develop a team that has the gumption to fight and thats a long time ago. It is becoming a neccessity to loose. I did see some fight in the first test and thats all
Indian team in overseas condition are a pack of street do gs. They look weak wait for things to happen and are mentally the most weak in the world. It was not great aussie bolwing but was indian poor mental state where they surrender easily. I hope they get Raina instead of Rohit now and make Ashwin a genuine batsman and not a bowler anymore.
and this will continue in WC 2015. Indian keep faltering in overseas tours. Tailor made sub continent pitches damaged more and reduced Indian team to sitting ducks. BCCI like gandhari will continue look other way. I will rate Aussies/ SA a team to reckon in all formats as they have proved their mettle series after series. Though they have few misses and more hits. It is visible that they never consider Indian tours serious ones as Indian like frogs are happy to play in dust bowl and failed to raise their levels when time demands. Indian public will be split in laughter if BCCI release the team's net practice video in Brisbane. I am more than sure cheer leaders are bowling machines rather genuine pacers. On contrary, Australia tours was planned at least two years from now and WC as well. What BCCI arranged lame duck WI and SL tours to boost the TRP's. What can we expect from 10th graders BCCI and 5th graders cricket team?
