I feel Dhoni is a good captain moreover a Lucky captain. Do u feel india can beat NZ in the second test match in absence of Dhoni. (Unfortunately NZ won the toss and post a good score at the end of first day play)

Presently the question is of first saving the follow-on. There is still a mountain to climb and around 350-400 runs to avoid the follow on. But still with the likes of Sachin, Dravid still at the crease, and the likes of Laxman to follow, the avoiding of follow-on might still be difficult. All will have to bat out of their skins to do so. And secondly, then will arise the question of winning the match. With more than 600 runs already scored, the Indians will either have to make a lot of mistakes or the Black Caps will have to bowl superbly well to take 20 Indian wickets. And then only can this match see any result. Otherwise, IT'S A DRAW!

looking at the situation at the end of the day it looks very unlikely that India will win.... a draw seems to be their best hope, although one good partnership can change things very quickly. If India can somehow bat through all day 2moro they have a very good chance of saving the game.
