Not sure if Kohli is a long-term captaincy option - Graeme Smith

[Cricketics]

I respect Smith as captain, he was one of the est but people are jumping the gun. Too early to comment on Kohli’s captaincy. This is his first series loss.

 

Long way to go especially with the series win coming in England this summer, I am excited.

Oh really Mr. Smith how many world cups did your team under you stunk up even though you had strongest teams. Why didn’t you resign, Kohli lost a series in which his batting flopped and yet they competed fine.

Kohli is the greatest test captain from India and it won’t change just because of this series loss so please take your yap somewhere else.

Three formats three captains.

 

Test - Kohli

ODI - rahane

T20 - Sharma (not Ankit)

What about Gavaskars critism? 

[Lannister]

That's going to cause a lot of damage to his PR reputation. He should have thought this through before surrounding himself with his buddies. A series whitewash here will expose his inept and corrupt selection policies.

Who is better?

Smith's analysis stems from seeing Kohli's impulsive behaviour and past results .. he is entitled to his views. For India, Kohli is the best option and I think he will learn.

 

Kohli's attacking ways were refreshing at first in Australia even though we lost the matches he captained..Now after more than an year of apprenticeship in home conditions, the expectation was that we will compete on equal footing against the South Africans. I am not too disappointed with the results as we managed to take 20 wkts and had a very good chance to chase down the target. May be things will change in Eng/Aus series.

No, that would lead to him being forced out like Anil Kumble. 

[joe777z]

Kohli is a good captain on the field but has poor attitude and shows bias in selections. Kohli, unlike other Indian captains, likes fast bowlers to bowl more when the pitch is conductive and don’t bring on spinners straightaway, which is refreshing. 

On the other hand, Rahane would be a better option if people lose patience with kohli’s dramatics.

I am expecting Kohli to learn from this experience and from this defeat..  Kohli has ego but his ego gets hurt more at defeats...N plus he got Anushka Sharma to give him some reality checks

[Texy]

I don't mind Ashwin to be test capt...but hell will freeze over before Kohli gives up captaincy

Err actually I think India has a very easy option to replace Kohli in the test side as captain: a player who is just as 'undroppable' as Kohli is at the moment - Ashwin.
