Why our Ashwin was removed today. He is ICC no 1 test all rounder.. what else Doni expects.. he is certainly better than that fit for nothing Jaddu and rohit...I want India to lose badly just to make Dhoni learn importance of our own R Ashwin..

Dhoni is fool to field first. After winning the toss, he has choosen to field means no one idiot. After loosing the ODI series, he has lost mental balance.

You are wright when Dhoni dropped Ashwin in over sea Match the wicket spinning first in Australia at Perth and S Africa where Jadega took 6 , that means does not read the wicket properly , Now News land, Second he should blame his fast bowler not spinner and batsmen not the spinners in Oversea wicket. I think Dhoni did like Ashwin alrounder award

Why did they carry Pandey & aaron if they are not to bowl on wickets made for pacers?What is the role of an aeging Zaheer who can't even run up to the wicket at speed?he was mostly bowling@125Kms which is pop corn in such conditions.Why body language of team was so bad within 2 hrs of partnership between Macllum & Williamson?It is time to ease Dhoni out of leadership role & save the fans from such disgust.

THIS COMPULSIVE GAMBLER IS UNFIT TO LEAD A TEST SIDE
by damodaran mohan on Feb 06, 2014 02:04 PM

This is simply unacceptable the way this Dhoni fellow refuses to capitalize on the luck with Toss. In one dayers bowling first is understandable to an extent but in Test matches not batting first is a clear sign of lack of confidence in the batting strength. Shouldn’t batting first to pile up a big total towards an outright win a natural strategy for a good Test side ? In fact Dhoni appears to be at his usual gambling habit of shorter versions of the game of chasing down of a smaller total! It is a wild goose chase for sure of a compulsive gambler when it comes to the longer format of the game. It is evident Dhoni is lacking the temperament and the application needed of a Test captain. Even otherwise his batting abilities in Test matches is questionable. It is time for selectors to sack Dhoni from Test captaincy.

Strong batting line up for 1st Test
by subhash phadkar on Feb 06, 2014 01:55 PM

A strong batting line up can only win matches if the score of the other side is kept under control.Day 1 partly belonged to India initially but lost the grip at the end of the day.

arrogance, what else
by veerapuram dharan on Feb 06, 2014 01:48 PM

u can have dhoni in a ODI team as his weak technique can be compensated by his pyro techniques but not in the test team because a lack of technique and unwillingness to learn will expose him every time he plays. hence, dhoni needs to retire from tests. with dhoni, all his sycophants should follow suit, they are, rohit, ishant, jadeja, ashwin, dhawan, vijay and to some extent, zaheer. pick players from both karnataka and maharashtra who were the champions and the finalists in this years ranji. sorry, it will fall to deaf ears because cement srinivasan is busy arm twisting other boards for commercial gains. so, its dooms day for indian cricket till dhoni and srini are there.

Yet another tame show by team
by pradeep agarwal on Feb 06, 2014 01:12 PM

The body language was poor & intensity was missing again.The problem is more deep rooted than what appears.How can the fans tolerate such a show against a lowly ranked team & demand for sacking Dhoni should get louder with every passing day

India has top batsmans and spinner. Virat, Poojara, Rahane can hit great tons in Kiwis soil.
