Against Pseudo - Ian has a habit of talking rubbish. He went after Shaun Marsh when he failed in one test.It is just a "colonial" attitude that we listen to such people.

Yeah..We can learn a lot from Chappell like how to bowl under-arm and winning a match.Was a average batsmen in his heydays..Steve Waugh and Allan Border were much better than him.
If u apply this theory with NSD then what your captain Stitch was doing. In all 5 matches his boys were clueless and gave more than 1500 runs. They failed mto understand our weakness and control even after bowling first. He lost all ideas. True we lost 5 games. But all the game were any body game & could have gone to other team in last moments. The fact is Australia/England/Newzealand all fail to digest success of Indian team/ individual and find means to criticize.

What success are you talking about?
We have not won a series outside
India under the captaincy of MSD
since 2011, is that what you call
as success? & what about MSD's
own record as a batsman in last
10 - 20 ODI's?
Forget about what Chapell is saying but how can we deny the fact that Dhoni as a captain & as a batsman is COMPLETE FAILURE OUTSIDE INDIA. And the politics which he played with Sehwag, Yuvraj, Gambhir etc. to keep them out when they were in form, the same politics should be played with Dhoni and he must be out of the team.
THE SELECTION IN THE TEAM SHOULD AND MUST BE DONE PURELY ON THE BASIS OF CONSISITENT PERFORMANCE AND STRICTLY NEVER ON THE BASIS OF GLOURIOUS PAST OR STARDOM.
WE INDIAN'S MUST COME OUT OF THIS HABIT OF LIVING IN THE PAST AND MUST THINK ABOUT PRESENT & FUTURE, THEN ONLY WE COULD BE ABLE TO COMPETE AGAINST TEAMS LIKE AUSTRALIA/SA/ENGLAND ETC.
Do you know what is Steve Smith's record as a batsman? as a captain? How can you say that Smith should go without knowing anything about his consistency as a batsman, as a captain?

I am not saying Smith should go .. but check his record in aus and outside aus. Most of his great innings are only in Aus where they have played the entire of last year including worldcup. We inidians criticise our players if they score runs in india (rightly pointed out by kohli) .. we should apply the same standards shouldnt we?

By the way ..my personal opinion.. Donhi should have been kicked out of captaincy years ago, i would like to see him play under virat in all 3 formats as a player, but his ego wouldn't allow him, he would rather retire!!!

If you have seen this ODI series, then you must have realised that Dhoni couldn't even connect proper contact with bowl forget about hitting sixes or fours, he couldn't even able to score run a bowl which was considered as a below par performance at the death overs in ODI's, in the last game, he has done the height, he was eating all the bowls without scoring runs himself & not even allowing poor talented guy Pandey to score freely which he was doing consistently before Dhoni came to crease. And if you are a keen observer of India's recent ODI or T-20 performances lately, this has been the sad story with MSD for quite some time now. So, to sum it up I would say that HE HAD LOST HIS TOUCH COMPLETELY AS A BATSMAN & just playing on his past glories & that is not a good sign for Indian cricket.

Why do we only give importance when some one like chapell says. Other players like Sunil, Shastri are on BCCI payrol & hence they are diplomatic. Its common sense dhoni should not be the captian at least in T20 few years ago.Dhoni use by date in t20 is in the past. Plus now eve in 50 overs he should be removed as a captain
