gaurav92 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 tendulkar needs to be made captain for one year. then one of the yungsturz. Younistaan who? Maa Bhen Kohli ? Link to comment
Ithyphallic Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 If Dhoni has even litte bit of self respect left in him after two disastrous overseas tours then he must resign at the end of the current series . I was about to start a thread on this topic. xD Link to comment
maniac Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Make Zak the test capt....and demote Dhoni to Vc.....that way Zak can be our capt whenever he is'not' injured and Dhoni can take over once in a while. Link to comment
adi B Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 He should but he won't. Has too many endorsements, ads and promotions which are dependent on him being captain. He has no self respect as has sold his soul to the corporate world. +1 ... the guy doesnt have motivation, just cares about money nd deals,i kinda despise him nowadays+ his ego is a big factor, listening to him is like eating yogurt every meal.... the guy has just lost it nd he wont resign, so its a big shame :facepalm: Link to comment
bulbul Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Another wrist slitting thread. With MSD suffering regular bouts of brain freezes as shown in his asinine field placements (more so in the last 12 months) MSD's captaincy looks to have run its course. With a 4-0 whitewash again looking a real possibility, we are inching closer to the need of a fresh approach especially with the team set to enter ts rebuilding phase. In the past, every time there has been talk about MSD being removed as skipper, the point of "there is no alternative" (TINA) is raised. Even now, the potential captains Gambhir, Sehwag, Kohli are all struggling themselves. For how long will MSD be able to retain his job due to this? Or will he get a lifeline as we do not play a test series for next 6-7 months? . Ambani :giggle: Link to comment

Bumper Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Yes, Dhoni's captaincy has been poor, our middle order sucks, our bowling is flat etc. But these are symptoms of a bigger problem - OUR OPENERS. Fix the openers, the rest will fall in place. Sehwag has to click & Gambhir has to find a way to support him. Even if Gambhir does not score, its ok. He should do, what Chopra did in 2003-04. Opening is the main issue ailing our team. I cannot emphasize this enough. We are a different team with Waggy firing on all cylinders. Link to comment
Tendulkar_Bhai Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 In the past due to our batting firing and runs on the board his field placings havent come under scrutiny, day 2 he was too defensive and wasted time bowling Sehwag and Kohli. However the disaster on these 2 tests is down to 3 people, Ghambir, Laxman and Kohli. If these guys had scored 50+ our bowlers would not have faced such an impossible chance and things would have been more positive. However he is the best we have and no negatives about his batting when you have the likes of Patel/Karthik as alternatives. Link to comment
Ultimate_Game Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 tendulkar needs to be made captain for one year. then one of the yungsturz. Tendulkar should be contemplating retirement and should not be the captain. Link to comment
kabira Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I loved Sehwag's captaincy in ODIs..he was way too attacking in ODIs.. Link to comment
1983-2011 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Make Zaheer the captain, its him thats always advising the pace bowlers on the field anyway so might as wll make him the captain, Tendulkar and Dravid can pass some tips to batsman when they are in the middle or from the dressing room Link to comment

rkt.india Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Sehwag should be made captain. Dhoni has been awful, so laid back, no tactics, no strategy, letting bowlers bowl whatever they want. He has two bowlers who can rattle batsman at over 90 mph, once there was no movement or swing there was no tactics to use that pace and make batsmen think something different. Why couldn't he put shortleg and 2 men back for pull and hook and greet them with barrage of bouncers. Aggressiveness has gone completely. This cool attitude does not always work always. If you are not aggressive, the opposition team will sit on you, like this. After 37/3, they scored 659, shame on the team. Sehwag showed in the ODI series against WI that he is an aggressive captain which may not work all the time in ODIs, but in tests, it will work more often than not. Dhoni can continue in ODIs.

Ultimate_Game Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I say make ICFers non-playing captain. We will have a poll before making any decision regarding who bowls, bowling change, change in batting order, field changes and team selections. Surely this method can't be any worse Link to comment
Shunya Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 poor bowling was the reason for spread out field...nobody could keep the pressure ...we always gave away boundary balls and they kept on hitting boundaries with ease...once thebowling becomes so dead..no pace, nomovement, nobounde, nospin...field has to be spread when u score 191 on such belter of a pitch... and lets not even talk about our fielding...budhe log...dont even run after the ball to save boundaries...forget about diving n all...so unfit... theres no fault of captain for such pathetic show by other players... its high time we bring in young players and groom someone from them by making him vicecaptain...so that atleast he doesnt have to go through such old/unfit teams through his time as captain... Dhoni has done good job as captain... Link to comment
vamos_rafa Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 You saw the Oz bowling after the final drinks break? They just kept on bowling outised off, accoridng to the fields and pegged away at the same spots. You can set fields for such kinds of bowlers. Have you ever seen MSD keeping a defensive field for Zak? No!! There is a reason for that. It's because he has trust on Zak. If you see the other bowlers, Umesh yadav is highly guilty of slipping on down the leg side every over. He did that in MCG as well. Ishant is wasting his energy in bowling. Ashwin also seems to be dropping it too short at times. Tactically MSD is defensive and spreading the field at MCG for tail enders was a mistake but you can't lay all the blame upon him when your batsmen give you a grand total of 190 on a patta and you have bowlers who can spray the ball around.

Dhoni has done good job as captain... And I would say "spread out field was the reason for poor bowling". If you saw the first test at the MCG, Dhoni had a deep point, a long on and a deep square when Hilfenhaus came in to bat in the 2nd innings, with Australia effectively 247/9. THREE outfielders for a number 11 to start with! Even Bradman wouldn't have been treated with as much respect! Dhoni obviously has NO F***ING IDEA how to play test cricket, be it winning tosses, batting, encouraging bowlers or setting fields. He is just a lost puppy when it comes to test cricket.

Vijay.Sharma Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I have always maintained this ever since NZ 2009 that Dhoni is way too defensive a captain in Tests and thinks in the old English way (rule out the possibility of a defeat before pressing for victory). And that he becomes attacking in ODIs and T-20s because in these two versions he has no option to do that - either you win or lose. And hence goes for a win in the ODIs and T20s. NZ 2009 setting them a target of 600? I mean what a bloody wuss he was! 400 was enough...alright if you wanted some security 450 was enough. If you are not confident of defending 500 in a game then you have no business winning that game. Bloody wuss! The main reason India got knocked out of number 1 position so easily (with just 124-126 points at most times) was because we never won series with big margins. And Dhoni's captaincy is the only reason for that. In WI we won 1-0 - effing disgrace. Against NZ at home we won 1-0 ffs! Even Azza was a more attacking captain than Dhoni has been. Let's not blame everything on the lack of bowlers or batsmen performance. One of the duties of a captain is to fu Link to comment
