Trichromatic Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Not a fan of Dhoni, but Dhoni didn't jump the ship with oldies and whitewashes, he stayed there, oversaw the transition, built a team with youngsters with moderate success and handed them to Kohli at their peak. What did Kohli do with them? Brought in his sidekicks in staff and single-handedly created chaos to destroy this team. philcric, Cricket_Fan, mishra and 13 others 4 3 1 2 6 Link to comment
tweaker Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 MSK Prasad led selection committee is a farce.The selection committee should consist of players who have experience of playing in all conditions. They should have spine to make some tough decisions & should not be bullied by captain and coach anish2tweet, sscomp32, GolGappe and 4 others 2 5 Link to comment

Forever Indian Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Dhoni had a good record even overseas in first half of his captaincy career. A captain's shelf life IMO is 5 years bcos then the ideas become stale, you no longer are excited and you start going through the motions. So he became a bad captain in his second half. But he did draw his first series in SA and won in NZ. Kohli is through 4 years of his captaincy and things are going to only get worse from here once his already stale ideas become rotten. sscomp32, speedheat, mishra and 6 others 2 1 6 Link to comment
UrmiSinhaRay Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Yeah true. Both Dada and Dhoni backed youngsters and managed to build a good team. They were also tactically good but Kuptaan Wrogn is all about endorsements. Itna business aur PR minded Captain Fool bhi nahi tha. Sent from my CPH1609 using Tapatalk Link to comment

speedheat Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Yea, unfortunately I have to agree here, although dhoni was dumb with no eye for talents he at least was not a coward like kohli in trying out and backing youngsters. And this is me saying it, forum has seen my love for dhoni. Edited August 12, 2018 by speedheat Adi BB, UrmiSinhaRay, Forever Indian and 6 others 1 5 3 Link to comment

Lannister Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Dhoni's team building process sucked balls. He himself was a mediocrity in Test cricket and was totally dumb when it comes to fast bowlers. raki05 and speedheat 2 Link to comment
Brainfade Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Ya know, this same mgmt and team stood up and fought to the end in South Africa. They lost but with heads held high. What happened on this tour? express bowling 1 Link to comment

He himself was a mediocrity in Test cricket and was totally dumb when it comes to fast bowlers. Not a fan of Dhoni's test captaincy, but how is Kohli any better in handling fast bowlers? Aaron is out of the scene, Umesh is bowling worser than before, playing two spinners in rainy Lords and only two frontline seamers? And not developing any youngster for last 4 years, that's just unpardonable! sscomp32, UrmiSinhaRay, raki05 and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment
R!TTER Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Dhoni didn't build any team, he inherited one from Kumble! Dhoni is the biggest coward I've seen in the last 30 years, who'd hide behind his process' diarrhea and back stab the seniors, who made him, any chance he got. nevada, raki05, Vk1 and 3 others 3 1 1 1 Link to comment
Number Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Oh pls Dhoni gave gazillion chances to test talents like Raina, kept Yuvraj in mix over Rahane and we all know why. Yes Kohli is not doing the right thing by not backing Rahul but Dhoni was equally ridiculous if not more. Adi BB, raki05, Clarke and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment
Laaloo Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 A team built by dhoni and his process lol. Considering the idiotic threads made by OP the past couple of days, this seems another one of them. raki05, Adi BB, Jimmy Cliff and 8 others 7 4 Link to comment

I seriously think Kohli suffers from ADD or ADHD, he has the attention span of not more than 1 match, and certainly can't think 6 months or 1 year ahead UrmiSinhaRay and Forever Indian 1 1 Link to comment

Problem with kohli is he chops and changes team without any sense behind it. Changes are just random and forced. Ankit_sharma03, UrmiSinhaRay and sscomp32 1 2 Link to comment

Shunya Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Kohli is just clueless. With him becoming a batting genius, he accumulated all power and now abusing it. His biggest problem was he gave zero chances for any youngsters to develop. And why to blame anyone now, everyone here was going gaga over all the exploits made in easy tours in last 4 years. Most people around are just dumb and likes of Kohli are taking everyone for a ride. sscomp32, UrmiSinhaRay and velu 1 2 Link to comment
velu Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 dhoni never built any test team .. he manged dadas team from its glory to its decay dhonis is more bothered about drawing overseas games than winning it .. kohli is more bothered about winning overseas than drawing .. dhonis test captaincy is more of a safety first approach .. kohlis test captaincy is more like auto-tune ..
