do you think Dhonis captaincy is going down match by match?

well dhoni after the match said that
he dont know the reson for failure.
he played well in ipl and captained well, now when it comes to indian team what happened to him? actually he cannot be blamed for the poor performance of indian team, but his selection and way of captaincy seems to be becoming poor match by match.
he maintained the same team in the same ground for the match against westindies,
why he is not rying to shuffle the batting order?
what was the imporatance of 2nd run and made himself runout in last match?, he was the one to take the strike and he tried to take second run and become the victim of a superb throw, its all happening unlucky to dhoni.
why he selcts for bowling everytime, that too when our bowlers are not bowling well?
i think he should drop M.vijay for next match, he is useless on the top,he is indias unlucky opener, atleast his batting order should be changed, someonelse should open with gauti to win the match.
why he is not at all giving a chance to V.Kumar who has been in the squad from the begning?that too when other bowlers are not performing!
What happened to Dhoni!

i think this is just a game and there is no direct chance to win the game if the other side person is more clever during the time. i will not say again that it was the mistake of dhoni. think if the batsman here at our side would have done better. the media would have called this decision as one of the best and sing the song as usual. so i think in a game there is nothing very special each time.

dhoni is a smart captain, i think the problem is with our selectors.
i don't understand on what basis shrikant gave chance to murali vijay and vinay kumar.
although they performed somewhat well in ipl, but still there were players better then them,if you don't give chance to robin utthappa, sorabh tiwary who were in such a good form then god knows what will happen to India's cricket.
In India,the selectors are still biased about the players.all the selectors support there regional players only and neglect other players who are performing well.

ya the selectors are certainly biased,
m.vijay was the most unsuccessful pick of the tournament.
i think should drop him and took karthik and open with yusuf pathan.

I should agree with baskar. Because the selection of the world cup squad was not at all a good one. Where is the opening legend sehwag and the leading wicket taker of IPL ojha. But also there is a chance to give for ashwin, kamran khan, naman ojha. Why he selected murali vijay, just played for one innings. There are many Indian players standing in queue to play for India. But these guys are not looking their talents. I like to remind, chawla was leading six giver in IPL, Ojha is leading wicket taker and Ashwin is most economical bowler. But see how the selectors selected the team. Zaheer Khan is out form, he need some rest to get back with his form. But still they are trusting on zaheer.
With this team dhoni can't do any thing. He tried to win the match against windies but the collapse of top order make India to lose the game.

selection of squad was very poor,
P.oja should have been selected instead of chowla.
Uthappa for M.vijay.
but dhoni could have handled the playing eleven better looking the pitch condition and form of players.

the selection was surely wrong.At least after the match against Australia the team should have changed and we were surely short of one specialist bowler.
He did not bowl for wickets.i read in newspaper today he was saying the bowlers did well,to restrict west Indies to 169.170 was chase able,but the batsmen failed.but I think it was wrong approach.He did not bowl to get wickets.
And the run out was ridiculous.he is a better striker than Harbhajan for sure.
i am not sure about this but the captain has no rights to select the team,he should play according to the team that is given to him.so I think the selectors and coach are the culprits.
Drop murali vijay and Jadeja .Let yusuf open the innings.These will be suggestions to Dhoni.
As a whole Dhoni is not reaching the standards he has set for himself as a wonderful captain these days,of course team not supporting him much.

he is not e selector to pick the squad, but what i mean is that, dhoni could have picked the playing 11 with some difference.
i think there is pressure from team management to drop some players, otherwise why did he not pick V.kumar at least in one match?
why do we select backup if they are not going to be selected in playing 11, that too whenP.kumar is injured.
Dhonis runout, i was very dissapointed on that, why did he go for second run, what was he thinking, to give strike to harbajan?that too in the near end of match when hard hits are essential!
murali vijay should not be opened at all.
