I can understand because of vested interests or other reasons people are giving theories of there being no other option, which is absolutely bullshit. But, has this guy Dhoni lost all of his conscience? Series after series he keeps bringing ignominy to country but keeps sticking to his captaincy like a bad odor. We used to have captains who would offer resignations after one series defeat, and this guy is so shameless that he pretends as if nothing happened even after worst of the defeats.

Read the article I posted about Srini. Everyone is at his feet.

What vested interest will anyone here have?

I didn't mean people here at ICF' date=' if that what you have got :-)[/quote'] Ok. In the BCCI. Why is it Srinivasan's (or anyone else you are referring to) interest to have Dhoni as captain?

Because Dhoni is Srini's man through and too. Plus is the captain of his club team. Obviously he wants him to get the highest visibility as soon as possible. Not to mention at a CSK level, he can make him do unwanted things too :giggle:

But it is in Srini's interests to have a performing Dhoni as India's captain. A failing Dhoni is definitely not in Srini's interests. Dhoni is a shrewd character. He can forge a partnership with the next Dhoni. He can make Ashwin the captain of India. Ashwin also plays for Chennai Super Kings. He can make Ashwin captain of CSK also. I am not sure that persisting with a failing Dhoni helps Srini in any way at all.

No. I am not saying Srini would like Dhoni to fall. He would be happier if Dhoni succeeds But because of his vested interests he would not remove Dhoni even if he falls. For him "Winning Dhoni" > "Falling Dhoni" > "No Dhoni" (Country's interests are not a factor in whole process)

Isn't this below average performance overall considering we lost more than we won. Both the coach and captain should be accountable.
Considering the coach in this partnership has no say and no power. In this case the skipper makes all the calls and is all powerful, yet the smoke screen goes up and fletcher gets blamed. Meanwhile dhoni continues and the money making continues. All hail csk!

Firstly, let's not bring CSK into this discussion. However, i do agree the results of the process are below average. I also agree that Duncan has very less say in Indian cricket team. However, if he is not liking the authority given to him then why is he hung on with this job for so long? He should have resigned if he does not likes this job for whatever reason. He cannot have it both ways. Dhoni needs to be sacked as a captain as well. Captain and coach are accountable given such a long run.

Not bringing csk in to discussion and rhiti sports in to discussion and how BCCI president and its skipper dhoni use the indian national team purely as a vehicle to boost their respective brands and money making and thus not prioritise on indian team winning , is to ignore just purely burying head in sand and leading to an insincere debate

Ofcourse, its sub-par performance... but we played majority of those games against Eng/Aus/SA who are better test sides than us

They are not that much better, that we lose in 3 days by innings etc. And that only won away test win in 3 years. Not that much better Plus in SA and NZ did not win even one odi match. Which has gone under radar!
