He couldn’t get out Faf Duplesis in SA and now he couldn’t get our McGullam in NZ even in those alien conditions. Before Tea – Kohli bowled and after Tea Dhoni bowled. Starting from 71st over itself, thinking about the new ball available only after 80th over! Even tailender will score 50 runs from those 10 overs. We need aggressive captain like Kohli...

And both Faf & Mac are in CSK now. All 3 will play “pacha colouru chingu chan, karuppu colour chingu chan, manja colour chingu chan”
Why only Dhoni, no right thinking Indian cricket lover should trust our bowlers. Lack of consistency, effort and commitment are a hallmark of our bowlers. Zaheer trundling on the field like an old cow, Ishant shining in patches and more often than not erring in line without thinking of the field placements given, Sami just runing in fast and delivering without any direction or control, Bhuvi, Yuvi, Raina just acting like "kaddhu" fillers again without any real effort to think of how to get the batsmen out and just going through the motions...Ashwin, Harbhajan oh! they are both absolutely useless on any wicket other than an under-prepared rank turner Indian wicket. With this type of bowling, its a wonder that we win tests at all. In the late 60s and early 70s just before the spin-quartet shone, our bowlers just used to keep bowling till the opposition batsmen became tired and got out...the situation is not much different now. Agreed Dhoni could have tried to push the tempo by being more aggressive on the field, but then there is no dis-incentive for him even if he loses what with Srini-mama on his side always.
there is some thing fishy as MJ took 7 wickets in first innings and 5 in second while sharma ji took 7 then failed in second innings while the poor fielding dropped catches take credits

Mitchell Johnson ,Shoaib Akthar are Elite fast bowlers. Ishanth is 120kmph bowler, ganguly can bowl faster hahahah.I think Ishanth is retarded.
I doubt whether he is a shrewd captain ! His selection of batting or bowling after winning the toss surprises me sometimes. The best captain is the one who judges the pitch conditions, weather conditions, weaknesses and strengths of the opposition, strengths or weaknesses of his own players, changing over bowlers and the ends they bowl from and controlling the game from the pavilion when he is not batting etc etc. Of course, luck is also required !

dhoni is physically present but his mind is with his spouce as his best honey destinations he has to work instead of holyday with newly married wife real shame on BCCI
Dravid is right. Unlike his batting which is aggressive, his leadership is defensive. He plays with just three and half bowlers. The team has to be balanced. Playing with the team loaded with batsmen itself is defensive. one has to take 20 wickets to win.
