He is in a state of denial, its a shame for indian cricket that such an arrogant guy is our captain. He will never accept he was wrong. Even manmohan would have resigned by now . Indian cricket is in ICU taking its last breathe while the doctors are playing poker. That sums up...

Dhoni calls for better India batting http://www.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/61801/dhoni-calls-for-better-india-batting India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni put the blame on his batsmen and their lack of consistency as they wrapped up their tours of South Africa and New Zealand without a win on Tuesday. :WTF::WTF::WTF: "Our bowling performance was really good. Still we can improve our batting," he said as India turned a match-winning situation into a draw in the second Test against New Zealand in Wellington. It gave New Zealand the two-Test series 1-0. South Africa also beat India 1-0 in December. And it also continued a disappointing run away from the sub-continent for India who have gone 14 away Tests without a win since beating the West Indies in Roseau in June, 2011. Dhoni said he was trying to see positives and felt that India showed they were improving, but not enough. :wall::wall::wall::wall: "Both the wickets (in New Zealand) turned out to be going towards the flatter side, especially this (Wellington) one, it just kept getting better and better for batting. So I think looking at that our bowling performance was really good," he said, reflecting on New Zealand's match-saving second innings of 680-8 declared. "You may say we have not really capitalised on the kind of starts we got when it came to our batting department but still there's plenty of improvements. I'll take that and move on to the next series. "Maybe all the batsmen have got one good innings in the last four Test matches. If we can improve that and make it two or three innings, then the situation of the team really improves." India return home with a tenuous grip on second place in the international Test cricket rankings, one point ahead of Australia. New Zealand have edged up from eighth to seventh-equal with the West Indies.

Is he high on something :facepalm::facepalm::facepalm:
I don't think Dhoni's totally wrong. Pissnat took 15 wickets, and Shami bowled well too. Just remove baz and look at their scores. We don't have batsmen like Sachin or Dravid to pile on such huge scores, nor our batsment click as a unit like they do in home. Only a couple of batsmen are stepping up in each innings.

240+ lead and he is blaming the batsman :clap::clap::clap:
240 lead came bcoz NZ were bowled out for 192 in first innings, it's not like we scored 500 and they scored 740.

TBH' date=' agree, but what we lacked is drop catches and we did not have an effective 4th bowler.[/quote'] problem is dhoni is always looking for allrounder in the 4th bowling slot. he is too afraid that having 4 bowlers + 1 allrounder + 6 bat could backfire if the opponent bowlers rip through top order. If we have 3 batsmen step up for every match, then the captain can opt for 4th bowler.

Spinners were not going to do any thing here. He wasted that spot by playing Jadeja who had 3 wickets at 85. Could easily have played a 4th pacer, would not have done worse. He eventually used Rohit and Kohli, could use Dhawan and Vijay too. Could easily have picked at least BK if he wanted someone who could bat at 8.
