Bob Willis : 'Dhoni says they're missing an all rounder, now they're missing two'. 'most test runs as test captain, even more than Gavaskar'

Mushfiqur Rahim is 7th. That outs things in perspective.
And below Rahim is Alec Stewart and Mccullum,Jeez idiots here are astoundingly moronic.I would be the first one to say he was an average and ordinary test batsman ,but this kind of irrational hate is sickening.

As Dravid put so eloquently on Cricinfo, he might be average compared to Gilchrist but otherwise he's right up there as a wicket-keeper batsman.

Love to Dhoni would be like showing love to a gold digger who has been screwing you out of 75% of your earnings (before and after alimony), while earning more than you by doing fashion shows like IPL.

Can't pick and choose or compartmentalise traits. Don't hate the player, hate the game.

I don't hate Dhoni. In fact respect him a lot for having made a great career from decisively humble beginnings. The greatest sex for me was winning at Perth in '08. After that the gold digger took over till she exhausted any enthusiasm for cricket from me, till today. She finally said you can still live in that little hut of yours.

Love is lost somewhere between the humiliation in 2011 Australia series and 2014 england series
I think nail in the coffin was the 2012 England test series at home....Could no longer blame ageing . Apart from all the other obvious flaws liek picking favorites,field placings,standing way back to bowlers,defensive tactics etc these 2 stand out for me Isolation of Umesh Yadav getting involved in the Jadeja-Anderson incident that just turned around the series I don't want to go in to some of the ODI or T20 mistakes done by him for now

I don't need to....these things have been discussed a zillion times on this forum....I just picked a couple that I strongly agreed on. Having said that I gave credit where due to him as a player,making him out to be this tragic leader is what made me highlight some obvious flaws because as much as dhoni the player contributed to Indian cricket ....dhoni the captain has fd it up 10 times more.
