Switchblade Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 somebody mail this stat to Srini Mama.. most overseas losses in the least no of matches' date=where Azhar & Ganguly captained more no of matches . That corrupt a.hole doesn't care he's more concerned about being reelected as BCCI Chairman and will be more concerned about ICC chairman thing Sent from my Micromax A110 using Tapatalk
kubrickian Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Depressingly defensive captain' date='same team combination,same players,same tactics and same results.[/quote'] +1000 Its not just about the losses. He keeps making the same mistakes over and over again and doesnt learn a thing. I used to be a fan but then I realized how stubborn and ignorant he is. I cant see India winning anything overseas with him as captain.
Raghav_12 Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 OKay, bring such threads when the game is over. India is not losing this first of all and we aren't drawing it either. We are going to win this shyt. All we going to win is shyt, not a test match. :((
yoda Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 DK wasn't really doing fine. He did excellently for a while as an opener (not keeper)' date=' and then his form dropped off.[/quote'] I am talking before Dhoni replaced him in the test team.
Haarkarjeetgaye Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 imagine the scene of someone being under Dhoni. he or she or it will be a loser even before the start if they have dhoni on their top
Vijy Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I don't remember him doing much, apart from an attractive 90-odd, bu then it could be my meory. The point is that Dhobi's selection back then made sense - it doesn't now. Saha, Pappu and DK all do better in domestic cricket than he does. And there are others such as Gautam, Kaul, etc as well.

Dravid's unexpected resgination from captaincy & kumble's form accelarated Dhoni's ascent to Indian captaincy..
GautiMaan Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 +1000 Its not just about the losses. He keeps making the same mistakes over and over again and doesnt learn a thing. I used to be a fan but then I realized how stubborn and ignorant he is. I cant see India winning anything overseas with him as captain. Me too,I used to defend him during 0-8. Now the team has young blood,he is the senior most player and commands respect.He can mould the team however he wants and yet he is quite content to meander along with his bizzare selections and tactics. Frankly sick of his captaincy these days.Better to get a new captain and let him focus on his batting,im sure he can offer more in that department.
Straight Drive Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 And he will crib how Saurav had a batting lineup of Sehwag,Gauti,Rahul,Sachin,VVS and Saurav. Whereas he has been losing seniors one by one since Sauravs retirement which has not helped his cause.He has to take some responsibility for such bad record in non Asian conditions.
Vijy Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 ^ He doesn't know the meaning of the word "responsibility".
bs_narayan Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 dravid and ganguly has better win/ lose ratio
skindia Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I rate Sachin Tendulkar Captaincy>> Dhoni Captaincy......SRT didnt get proper run as a captain..
Vijy Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Interesting comparison. Both were not good captains at all, but the former got a shorter run.
zumi Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Dhoni's influence on selection showing in his away results in all formats.
Scarves Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Interesting comparison. Both were not good captains at all' date=' but the former got a shorter run.[/quote'] Because Sachin's team was purely crap like it was MSK Prasad literally opening the batting with Gandhi at one match.
Vijy Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 There were plenty of dubious selections there too, with lots of undeserving Mumbai players such as Mambrey, Kulkarni, Bahutule, Dighe, etc playing but the point was that they were only given 1-2 matches. Whereas Ish has played 55 matches.
NareshK Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 dravid and ganguly has better win/ lose ratio Because they had good technical knowledge of the game, which you need as a test captain and something that Dhoni lacks. He is also way too adamant and inflexible to adapt. He mostly sticks to the formula which brought him success in certain conditions. I reckon Gambhir would have made a better test captain but he struggled as a batsman and couldn't score runs to save his life and rightly dropped.
skindia Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 By stats....Dravid would have been best captain ever but 2007 wc...just 2 bad matches made the difference..
skindia Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I dont remember Anyone getting long rope due to influence of Captain....even Kambli didnt get..
