Shouldn't Dhoni also resign as test captain ?

[Debutant]

I think Sehwag should follow Laxman and Dravid into retirement.

+10 :two_thumbs_up:

[Sidhoni]

Actually' date=' it will be fun when Dhoni retires. We won't have a keeper who bats well even in the SC conditions then. :giggle:[/quote'] This. And non-performers like Gauti will be leading the side!

[GautiMaan]

Strauss resigned as captain-they have a natural successor in Cook,if Dhoni resigns who do we have? and people really think Saha/Parthiv will be able to do a better job as a wk:giggle:

[Crookbond]

Last time when Parthiv Patel and Dinesh Kaarthick played instead of Dhoni in a Test match series (in SC conditions) none of them did anything of note both behind the stumps and with the bat.

We should try Uday Kaul, Naman Ojha at A tours and other such overseas tournaments .. any other talents should also be pushed to give Dhoni some headaches

thread is about resigning as the captain,which i think he should..not saying he should be dropped as player from tests

[carnish]

thread is about resigning as the captain' date='which i think he should..not saying he should be dropped as player from tests[/quote'] But please give an alternative player who can lead our test side first..

[GautiMaan]

thread is about resigning as the captain' date='which i think he should..not saying he should be dropped as player from tests[/quote'] Still didnt answer my question.who will replace him as a captain?

[Crookbond]

thread is about resigning as the captain' date='which i think he should..not saying he should be dropped as player from tests[/quote'] We are talking about cricket here, not some Udupi restaurant that you fire people at whim & fancy.

We cannot directly draw parallel to situation of other countries. Look at SL.. First Mahela resigns, Sanga resigns then Dilshan resigns.. with no alternative again Mahela leads.. we don't want such a scenario.

After 7-0 any captain should have resigned. But if failures are counted then Sehwag, Gambhir, Laxman, Ishant, Harbhajan (he is only one who hasn't) should also be never selected in 15. This was easily worst batting line-up in the test cricket with both openers averaging 30s, middle order batsmen in mid thirties, main spinner averaging 40, main pacer getting injured after every second match and second best pacer not able to pick wickets in any conditions to get outbowled by part timers in last 2-3 years.

In short we played like zimbabwe where everyone fails

[kubrickian]

This is a dumb thread. Why is Dhoni's resignation even brought up now ? Just because captain of another side retired. Ridiculous crap.

[King Tendulkar]

Yes he should have and he is shameless for not resigning. And BCCI shameless in to sacking him. 8-0 and still in the job. Shocking

He can stay in the team as a keeper/bat but only just. His glovework is sloppy and his batting fails constantly, particulary overseas. His position would really be under the microscope. Kohli, Gambhir all could be skipper. at least they would care and be bothered. Rather then going through the motions Dhoni

Stop Zimbabwe bashing please .. atleast they have guys with some spine ... Taibu retired ... Brendon Taylor stands up every time he plays .. Just because of dumb posts like these today Sir John is angry with us and has left us. Sir John Please come back to ICF ... We Miss You :crying:

[King Tendulkar]

Gutless , shameful dhoni

[putrevus]

I don't think Dhoni should resign or quit, He had one difficult season and it had to do more with his batsmen failing him big time.

Dhoni, Srinivasan and Srikanth made a trinity which ruled Indian cricket for sometime and presided over biggest ever humiliation of indian crciket team. But none of them are ready to take accountability and do honourable thing of resigning. Now Srikanth gone, I hope this trinity will lose grip and Dhoni will follow soon. However, with some cheap wins against NZ in home test, Dhoni would start claiming that he is back toi his winning ways and may make a case for continuing as captain. He would eventually be thrown out at the end of SA tour which India would lose by 0-3 or 0-4 (depending on the number of tests in tour).
