Breaking News: MS Dhoni Retires

[jaunty]

Tactically the worst test match captain I have seen in my life but as a player he has had a very good career. The test captain will not be missed but the player will be for some time. In ODIS however, he is an all time great. Hope he continues to play ODIs.

 

[Levina]

Then you should realise that India's performance in Test matches under Dhoni as captain is worse than miserable.

were Indians ever good at test matches???

 

[doppelganger]

were Indians ever good at test matches???

Yes.

Through the 90s and the 2000s, we were probably the only team to stand toe to toe with the Aussie juggernaut.

 

[utraash]

Yes, good decision, now he can groom Virat Kohli as the next captain.

I highly doubt Virat capabilities as captain. Virat's aggressive n flamboyance will doom his career.....

 

[sathya]

he sent laxman & sachin out and made his decision to leave the tests long time ago, so that they don't become dead weight to the team and make the youngsters weight

he was occupying the place while rohit sharma, suresh raina, ravindra jadeja, w saha waiting for their opportunity

he left at the right time

At least we weren't getting whitewashed series after series.

That is true, but I have hopes that he can be tamed and taught leadership skills.

Why do we Indians have to play down aggressive nature as something negative?

we came close to winning first test
had murali vijay got that 100th run

He was a Wicketkeeper and would be replaced by a Wicketkeeper. He was in no way occupying place of batsman.

Not negative but unrequired aggression diverts you from achieving real goals besides bring lot of controversy.

All I am saying is Virat will not be able to hold captainship undisputedly for long time like Dhoni.....

w saha, d karthik were waiting

he is the best captain, good wicket keeper.
but not technically the best batsman in testing conditions.

and i am his biggest fan.

he plays second innings or the chase well..
pressure doesnt bow him down

not everyone can be captain cool..

Never saw Aussies getting in trouble, they play tough game no one says they are being arrogant.

 

[volcano]

who will be the next w.c???

 

[utraash]

Never saw Aussies getting in trouble, they play tough game no one says they are being arrogant.

I hope you will be proven right about Virat....
