Just remember how we talked about Dravid, Laxman, Ganguly, Tendulkar, etc. and many wanted them to be out of team and said when these people are out, the team's fortune would change. Now that they have gone, nothing has changed. That's what Dhoni said. I may go and someone else may come but the same thing would repeat. He knows the quality, discipline, team spirit, hunger for win, etc. that our players have. Now, just see when Rohit or Kohli hit a 50 or 100, then jump and fly in the air as if they won the World Cup for India; when bowler like Yadav gets a wickets, he shows spirit as if he got the entire opposition out; like that they celebrate and at the end of the day, end up losing pathetically for the country. That is their spirit. And look at how OZ players or other players celebrate when they get a wicket or score 100 or 200.. Just analyse the current series. in the entire 3 matches, our bowlers hardly bowled good 100 wicket taking/difficult to score off deliveries (in 150 overs) They bowled as if they were playing international cricket for the first time; not a single bowl was bowled that would have gone on to hit the middle stump; no Yorker length ball that troubles the lower order batsmen or top order would find it difficult to score off everytime; etc., etc. and conceded easy runs and scripted the fate of the nation. Now, how can captain control all these. He can set field and if its set for off-side bowling, the bowler bowls onside and gives away easy runs
Blaming the captain has no meaning while the bowlers bowls badly. What mistake has he committed as captain. one or two bowler gives runs over 70 when others give 55-60 while there is no option to rotate.Further poor fielding by even the best fielders also caused failure

It is expected of the captain to communicate with the players, when the bowlers go astray. I have never seen Dhoni do it; perhaps as a WK, he finds it difficult, but he can delegate the task to the Vice Captain.
Indeed Doni brought many laurels for India. But now his luck may not be good, and this should not be associated with full teams luck. It is better to change him for the time being.Once series lost is lost for ever. No chance for any sentiments.

What sentments u r talking about.Where is the question of luck comes when u field badly, bowl badly, a captain cannot do the job of fielders and bowlers alike. By the same yardstick if u apply even the team director Ravi Shastri too should be axed and even the Sandip Patil led selectors too should face the music. Blaming Dhoni for all the ills is certainly not fair.
if taking last batting. first to field. then wining. 4 spacer:-yadav,ishant,bhubaneswar kumar, sran. 2 spinner:- aswini,jadjea. 5 batsman_;- rohit,dhawan,kholi,rahane,dhoni. no need for any new player like ? these r wrong assumption. play it for 2 series. try to win touch? then field first. it is better than nothing. do it last 2 series. batting will last. then chance to win. do it.
" I think it's unfair to question his leadership after just one series""------This is the 5th consecutive series loss under MSD. Please refresh your memory
