Will India be a better test team overseas without MSD ?

VVS is like the gay guy in hostel. Everybody knows except him.

Even Parthiv is a better keeper.

All white washes aren't the same. The way India were white washed twice was by historic margins in every test match - equivalent of heavy innings defeats every time. It was like a school team getting thrashed by another international team. Of course, Dhoni did not deserve to captain India in tests after that.

There are plenty of blind haters as well. There are no such rules out here about whom one has to support and criticize. Its none of anyone's ****ing business who supports or hates a certain individual. Grow the **** up. Being abusive and personal to someone just because he supports a player.

Thanks for the complement.. When you can accept things like Dhoni was the reason why India does not have bowlers averaging 30 then i won't mind being one if that is what you think. I was never one. But some lame threads can drive anyone to look likeone. Shifting the blame entirely on one person is illogical that too at a time when India has resurged.

But you think there is any point in digging that up at this point? India hasn't lost much after that didn't they under same DHoni once all the dead weeds were removed? Dhoni is still there right . Shouldn't India have lost to South Africa if we extrapolate those results? It is a much weaker and inexperienced side. SA is a much superior team.

Bump. I think if he doesn't win next test, it should be his last series at least as a captain.

If you try you still cannot lose more than him.

3. We might get some bowlers who can average around 30 develop with the time. Under Dhoni there is no hope in this area.

In our entire test history there's just 1 pacer who has averaged below 30..

Now we have 4, 5. See the impact a different captain and different way of thinking makes?

Massively improved overseas. 2 test series wins in Aus. 1 series in England which team won't lose. Hopefull win in SA and do better in NZ next time.

Ashwin, Jadeja too average ~25. We never had spinners with such low averages.

Almost prophecy like first post.

I could clearly see where we will improve and where we will miss MSD.

Msd was a joke of a test captain the way he handled promising Pacers and over the top use of defensive tactics with his trundler brigade.

Perfect example of why we should not be scared of making changes and claiming things like - but the youngsters are not better, its the seniors holding team together 

 

One will always be scared of changes, but staus quo is more harmful
