At least till the time Ganguly/ David and kumble was captain we were feared team overseas. Yeah totally, that's why it's imperative that Dhoni should be booted out from LO asap, sadly Koach and cheerleader in chief probably want the slow poke till WT20 in Aus 2020 I can't say how much the old guy's inputs hurt this team, but surely someone constantly being in your ear and controlling things in your absence doesn't help! raki05 1 Link to comment

It is true somewhat you had a test captain in dhoni who was never interested in test cricket and more interested on dancing tunes of srini mama and meyeppan and you have Kohli which yes we can all agree has had some shambolic test selections but at least he shows passion. He shows commitment. He shows willingness to play for the country unlike his loser predecessor. Adi BB, Rasgulla and Number 2 1 Link to comment

Where was his commitment when we were getting whitewashed in England ? Where is his willingness to win when he got embarassed by minnows BD for his selfish milestones. Switchblade 1 Link to comment

It's just that Broadandu has become very good in home conditions. Anderson averages 14 since 2016 at home. madhusudansarkar and Switchblade 2 Link to comment
Trichromatic Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 They say that captain is as good as team. That's true. A captain can't make a bad team to win matches. That just doesn't happen. All successful captains have great teams. That's also true. But I think there are 3 categories of captains. 1. A great/good captain - Ones who are tactically astute, have eye for talent, back them and can raise performance of the team. Such captains are rare in test cricket. These are the captains who can lift a 80 rated team to levels of 80-85. Even these captains can't lift them levels close to 100. For that team itself has to be 95. 2. Average captain - Most of the captains fall under such category. They are as good as their teams and they can make an 80 rated team perform like 75-80. They are average so sometimes they fall upto 75, on good days they ensure team performs upto potential. They are mixed bag in terms of qualities. Dhoni was at the bottom of list of such captains. When he got an ATG team (rated 90+) he won everything with them by making them perform at that level. When team went out of form (2011-2012 overseas tours) he wasn't able to do anything and a 55 rated team performed at levels of 50. Then when he got a rookie team, team performed at level 70 with mixed performances (dominant at home and some days to cheer overseas). This team was rookie and expected to become an 80+ team. 3. Poor captains - these are captains who instead of being as good as team, they end up being huge negative for the team and bring down an 80 rated team to levels of 65. Such captains have multiple issues causing chaos with other players. They don't know what to do and that doesn't end well. Kohli falls under this group.

Then again, what stopped him in trying out red hot siraj over a ttf joker like ishant or potential like saini/rajpoot??? thing is that he simply doesn't trust youngsters and fears a failure in trying them.

Here don't agree with you Tricho,Dhoni is at the level of 55 and rate Virat much higher than him we have gone down fighting under him in overseas.

How is it different from another poster claiming that you delete their posts? When was the last time alexa rankings were discussed among mods? Doubt you have much idea about recent initiative attempted by staff group of ICF. No wonder you are stuck to alexa, just like how rasgulla is stuck to accusing you of deleting his posts.

CG Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Dhoni and Kohli are two extremes Dhoni Never changed the team even after whitewashes.Kohli Never goes in with the same eleven.We need to build a settled batting order.I would first look at Shaw Opening with Rahul with Rahane at three and Pujara at 5.

What did Kohli do with them? Brought in his sidekicks in staff and single-handedly created chaos to destroy this team. Which team did dhoni built? If anything Kohli is just continuing the legacy of dhoni Link to comment
