can't think of any team except team india that hasn't won a test overseas in ~3 years (except zimbabwe, for obvious reasons, no games, strikes, no money for cricket gear even, millions of dollar debts)

in at most under 1 year 2 months i.e.

trend shows we need to oblige bdesh for a 2 test series at least, or even windies for that matter. now even nz out of the question, among the minnows

come england and that strange duke ball, the result is likely to be somewhat along the lines of previous tour. let alone 5th bowler, he didnt even have 4th bowler in nz. pathetic team combo..you go with 5th bowler if you don't have 4 specialists, here you didnt even have 4 bowlers...dhoni's frustrations are only beginning, he can only hope to alleviate himself as demonstrated in the first pic...let

He has nothing to loose
by pradeep agarwal on Feb 19, 2014 05:34 PM

He is a replica of MMS in Indian cricket being assured of job by the boss.This is what MMS says after every scam & Dhoni after every overseas loss & the most humiliating of the lot against England in India

About India Team Dhoni vs IPL Dhoni
by Manash Ghoshal on Feb 19, 2014 04:57 PM  | Hide replies

We saw in IPL Dhoni was a magic man for Chennai. But when chance comes for India team I never saw India won for Dhoni except World Cup 50 overs. This shows Dhoni is specialist for 50 ovrs & 20 ovrs not specialist for Test Team. Recently we lost England tour both, Australia tour & Newzealand tour. Dhoni selected his One day & Test team from his personal choice. I can't understand India team & Chennai super kings team are most of same. After that why not we win the series. In captainship of Dhoni India lost No. 1 position from One day cricket & also lost No. 2nd position from Test Cricket. I can't understand Murli Vijay, Ravichandan Ashwin, Ravidra Jadeja & the great batsman Suresh Raina seleted for Indian team. So Mr. Dhoni many years you enjoy the captainship, please this is our request this is the time you give resignation from captainship.

sv, it's better you stick to his records in whitwashes at home...don't embarrass dhoni and yourself by pointing out his away record which is awful (everything changed since the eng tour, dr. dhoni's dream run has ended, he's captain tool now rather). btw, he never won 5 consec away series .

a slight mistake taklu, not consecutive 5 series but consecutive 4 series and 1 tied series against SA...taklu if dhoni has won 5 away tests then does not it follow that it has happened in 5 series??

i have seen how our team struggled against club class attack of fidel edwards, rampaul, bishoo etc. in one of the away tours, but we managed to scrape through, luckily sammy dropped dravid when he was

What improvement he sees in the players? He is only defending all the matches. Not a single match has been played with aggression under his captaincy except IPL. After the NZ debacle, he says he is still learning. He will go on learning through out his career. His statements and after match interviews are funny and school boy-like, who is defending himself for not scoring high marks by blaming the teachers, etc. Dhoni should be rested in future matches not withstanding the Asia Cup or World cup to be played and the non performers should be sacked.

Who is the one with Dhoni in the first pic?
Looks like Jadeja - securing his place in India team.

Dhoni and Srini- Deadly combination
by alex on Feb 19, 2014 01:16 PM  | Hide replies

Dhoni and Srini and CSK- Deadly combination..no one can do anything.BCCI a private org so whatever low happen to india cricket, no one care..Aam janta who are cricket lovers thay just can see the slow death of REAL TEST cricket.even media can not do anything. Those will get paid to stop news on this. Just see wat ahppened to Chennai Ploce report and Madgul Report on csk which incl players like D and R.does media apart from Zee give publicity?

Bring Bhajji back ,its shame that india playing last test with 3 spinners while record show spinner had a major role on NZ and SA in 4th/5th day. Aswin-he is just friend of dhoni..dont consider him as spinner. Agreed he is BEST in IPL and turning indian wkts. But on indian turning wkt, even club bowlers will take wkt.

Bhajji struggles to get wickets even in ranji matches! On what basis do we take him? Maybe Pervez Rasool cna be tried!
