Dont u Dhoni bashers say Dhoni won so many tests because he got a gifted team, how about that gifted team during 8-0.. Don't they share any responsibility for debacle? We only had 1 centurion in each tour and no bowlers to show for. Any other captain would've done any better?
He should share the responsibility for the loses when he selects a bowler like vinay kumar on Perth track. He deserves all the criticism he gets. He hasn't hit a match saving or match winning innings in these 10 tests India have lost. After 20+ innings he has hit a double century that too on a dusty pitch where the ball did not raise above his knees. He is a phenomenal ODI cricketer. But he is not good enough for test matches. End of the story.

If he is a just wicket keeper and a good batsman, he is not fit for captaincy.

If he is a just wicket keeper and a good batsman' date=' he is not fit for captaincy.[/quote'] Yes he doesn't average 50+ in tests and scored more than 1 double century. Wait, what? Ganguly averaged 40+ and 1 double century, so much for being a better batsman :giggle: Some people make it sound like Ganguly was Clive Lloyd

Lets Dhoni score a century outside the subcontinent. All his records are at home track.
Not bad for a wicketkeeper batsman compared to a specialist batsman.

congrats msd.it does not matter if he wins more/less tests than ganguly.1st and foremost dhoni should look to win each of the tests vs aus to gain more confidence and build a proper team for away tour more than his own preferential selection..the whitewashes wont be forgotten ever

Ganguly was not a great batsman' date=' but comparing his batting with Dhoni has surely got to be a joke. If it was all about averages we would quietly anoint Samaraweera and Jayawardene as equivalents of Gavaskar and Richards and be done.[/quote'] +1..even avg wise ganguly averaged 42.5,dhoni avg 38.2 after the 224.. just by the looks of batting one can classify who was the better batsman with a superior technque..dhoni has to solidify his defense which i think he has done in the l;ast 2 tests,leave the outswinging balls
