Dhoni is a poor test match player!

ABDV has out kept Dhoni in this series... Dhoni should learn some wicket keeping tips from ABDV...

ABdv is one of the most agile keepersi have seen.Dhoni does not dive well and leaves many easy chances go through him and first slip.Dhoni cannot match up to abdv in terms of keeping to Fast bowlers.

Wasn't there a thread some time back where people were claiming Dhoni is a better keeper-batsman than DeVilliers?

You can make a case for a better replacement for MSD at no.7' date=' but you lose me when I hear you mention someone like Saha.[/quote'] Saha has a proper batsman's technique, has a higher FC average, has shouldered weak Bengal batting for long and has played some lone hands even on green tracks in domestic cricket. You wont know how good he can untill given proper chances. Don't know why people have written Saha off as a batsman.

Dhoni's always been a poor Test player and Test captain. The team's success in ODIs at home have made Dhoni untouchable in all aspects of Indian cricket. oPazIT79Cp4

Who is the next best option or at least the one who can be groomed for future I sampson is ok with gloves might as well play him, cant do worse then dhoni with bat overseas

[King Tendulkar]

How long do we have to put up with this. Pathetic dissmissal, soft as it gets He is proven failure overseas. The sample size is years now, its not 1 or 2 games and a judgement call. This is over a number of years. We have to get some one in now as replacement with 3 more away tours coming up.

Come on , he has av average of over 45 at home with 5 centuries which is very good for a no 7 batsman.

[The Realist]

Don't forget Dhoni's long rope club also applies to him as it starts and ends in his bedroom...

[ganeshran]

Mediocre test match batsmen who goes missing outside the subcontinent

[The Realist]

Come on ' date=' he has av average of over 45 at home with 5 centuries which is very good for a no 7 batsman.[/quote'] Erm what about his overseas record both as captain and batsmen?...

[putrevus]

people think there is no better option than this fellow

[asterix]

Time for fanboys to DEPLOY TINA... :agree:

If anyone was claiming this in Tests, they would have to be out of their mind. In ODIs Dhoni has played more high-pressure knocks, has a higher avg after playing more games, been a regular keeper in more games, etc. Even in ODIs, the gap between the two is narrow and it still continues to decrease as ABdV improves. At the moment, I'd still rate Dhoni a little higher in ODIs. In Tests, I rate Saha better than Dhoni. Besides, check out this stats: Dhoni Asia - 47.21 career avg - 38.76 Karthik: Asia - 24.15 Career avg - 27.77 Outside India - 32.28

If there are no better options than him I would rather that spot goes vacant! ****!

[urbestfriend]

Seriously Dhoni should retire from test , and concentrate on ODI and IPL. Saha is much better option.

Rahane must be burning with the thought that this arsehole gets to decide whether he gets to play or not.

Siddarth dhoni Paging..,siddhoni...paging...

For series after series this Mule Singh Dhobi kept rahane out

[The Realist]

Got to love the Dhoni and Fletcher combo, so many overseas triumphs 0-9 so far and counting...
