I hope for the sake of our Test fortunes, he calms down. He is like the Rajdhani express of emotions on the field. 

 

It hardly matters.....everyone has his own style of functioning and people do well when they know what motivates them.

 

Our 2 best captains ever, Ganguly in tests and Dhoni  in LOIs , have had contrasting  ways of expressing themselves on the field...yet both succeeded.   Same thing applies for Ponting and Waugh.

We aren't missing Dhoni the captain but Dhoni the batsman so far .He was as good as a top order batsman in Indian conditions.S aha has been a big disappointment as WK bat so far.

It's even more compounded by having Rohit at six .

Saha scored a fighting century in the West Indies with his team in trouble ....just in the last series..... with a couple of more 40+ scores.  He batted well in the Lanka tour too....with 2 half centuries.  His improvement as a batsman is there for all to see.

Saha scored a century overseas just recently. He contributed with soem useful contribution against SA too.

This thread was about our performance at home and I mentioned Saha performance in that regard .He was pretty disappointing with the bat against SA and has already been demoted to no.8 in this series .Dhoni you could consider as a genuine top order bat in Indian conditions .

Yes his overseas performance been pretty decent (albeit weaker attacks) but at home particularly with his performance for Bengal in Ranji has been massive disappointment.

Also not sure how the team trusts him with bat either .Demoting him to no.8 already .

There has been no demotion from the WI series....there, we were playing 5 batsmen and here we are playing 6 batters.  Rohit has come in and everyone else is batting one position below as a result.   

 

The last series against SA was an extremely low scoring one... only one century in the entire series from us at home and very few fifties even from our top batters.

Do you think Dhoni would be batting at no.8 if he was playing? If not , not sure what u are debating about tbh.As it clearly shows we are missing Dhoni the batsmen.He gave the test team the all rounder edge in home conditions that Saha so far cant.

Dhoni would have batted at 7 if not 8.

I am debating because you said that Saha has been a disappointing WK batsman so far....which is factually incorrect in the last 3 test series.

 

Dhoni has retired....he is not available for selection in test matches.

 

The only issue here is that whether Saha is the best choice among available keepers now.  Every legendary player leaves a hole when he retires and some time needs to be given for the new guy to settle into his role.

Yeah and considering how we are playing spin, we are missing Dravid, Laxman and Gavaskar too

Funny when some people are playing victim card now.. Same people said a lot of crap before when someone else is in his place. 

 

Cruel LOL facts are hurting some people i guess.. Perfect thread.

 

 

Yes because for people with low IQ a veteran captain for nearly 10 years is the same as someone captaining in his first couple of test series. Just like every new batsman in the team immediately needs to be compared to Sachin, Sehwag, Dravid, Laxman, etc

 

As soon as a new guy joins a company after college, his performance is compared to the veteran who has worked for 15 years

He damn well would have batted at 6 and Rohit wouldn't be playing giving as more balance in the attack.

Leaving that aside that is my point even at 7 that would give as far better strength he was good as.most top.order bat in Indian conditions and we are missing that .

How many times has Dhoni batted at 6 even in India?
