Don't know what people expect to answer when journalists ask such questions. Are they supposed to say he is useless, he should be dropped and stripped of captaincy. Everyone will say the same like he is an experienced guy, good player, and can make come back, etc., etc.

Most captains try to demoralize the opposition before a test series. The mind games Aussies play are legendary. Our captain cool has achieved Nirvana and for him its all about loving everyone, test series are just yet another boring thing to do before IPL and T20 cups

Shane Warns Tells Cook to Take a Break Full article link below but here's what I think is the most important bit and equally applies to MSD. Though MSD has been more aggressive recently, he goes back to his old ways when something doesn't work. Warne on Cook at Headingley:

He just does not get it. Everyone watching could see the game needed a change of pace; bowl the spinner or make the seamers try and actually get Angelo Mathews out. You just cannot bowl the same stuff over after over like he did - good captains try things and are proactive, not hopeful.

How many times have we seen Ishant told to bowl like 6-8 overs a time when the game is in the other team's hands? Edit: Supposed to be Shane WARNE and not Warns as title says.. whoops!

Sachin asked reluctant Dhoni to call back Ian Bell to bat Or again asking Sehwag to take back the appeal of Ashwin mankading Thirimanne. Wonder what state of Nirvana Sachin was back then? Oh wait that was upholding spirit of cricket.

How about something like - "We are focused on our game and plans and will try to do our best against whatever team the opposition puts in". And no, everyone will not say the same. Remember how Warne used to make fun of Cullinan?

Dhoni is no Warne and I do not see anything wrong in whatever he said.
