jealous much.. apply something ..ok

our bowling is weak that needs to be improved not criticizing a legend who brought glory to us. He scored decent and captained beautifully.. we did not have these sort of performance before if you can recollect..

Big change required

After two such bad tours, the captain says he is satisfied and "overall its been a good performance". This only shows how low our expectations are and how low we set our standards. If the captain himself is complacent, the youngsters are bound to think they are tops and will never look to improve themselves.

Even though Dhoni has served India fantastically well and is a great fighter, the team's talent does not come together at the vital moments.

That is why, with regret, we must look for another more aggressive captain.

true, but let's also not forget when big 5 of a side suddenly move out( here tendulkar,dravid, laxman,viru and ghambir )in a yr, teams same difficulty. Even aussy or WI faced it. This team is talented and in hands of a true leader. Yes we lack genuine fast or even spin bowlers

Suddenly move out? Dravid-Feb/Mar 2012, Laxman-Aug 2012 (by that time he was totally worn out), SRT-Nov 2013 (should I say anything?), Viru & Gambhir out of action from 2011.

Without these guys except SRT (and with very less contribution from SRT), dint India win 4-0 against Australia on the dustbowls? And even with the way Dravid / Laxman / Sachin / Sehwag turned out later, the result would be the same.

Team BCCI

Not sure which is worse batting or bowling. Today Team BCCI was saved by umpire Davies, else Kohli was gone and it was 2-0. As for fielding, nobody drops catches like Team BCCI. Team BCCI will only keep learning & maybe improving, but will never ever WIN.
