What is better indicator of a Captain's performance - Results in T20 matches or in Test Matches?

[Raghav_12]

There have been some discussions around T20 captaincy of India. Well I believe that there is hardly anything that captain do in a T 20 match. It is more about luck and moments for brilliance from one or two players. On the other side, I believe test results are better indicator of a captains performance. He has more time to strategize and to experiment with things. His leadership would be more required when team is going through a rough, demoralizing phase in the match. So I want people opinion on what do they think, is better indicator for a captain's performance - Results in T20 matches or Results in Test Matches. PS - Please don't take it as Dhoni bashing thread as he anyways sucks on both counts.

Dhoni has a better test record as a captain than as a T20 captain :P Will thate make him a better test captain than a t20 captain?

LOL at last line in OP! Delusional fans!

I voted for Tests...but yeah T20s too need some skill! Dhoni sucks in both these formats...

[The Dark Horse]

There are two types of T20s :P

[ganeshran]

He is good in Limited overs matches, not in tests

[G_B_]

test matches obviously. T20 all that matters is the cup.

He is good in Limited overs matches' date=' not in tests[/quote'] My question was not related to MS Dhoni if you understood so. I meant, which format is better judge for somebody's captaincy skills - T 20 or Test matches?

[Crookbond]

I don't think there is a fixed answer to this.
