India is struggling with six wickets down and Dhoni as the captain makes a clean duck to show his dominance by making a simlple duck for his team.I dont know what he is good for.His test performance is quite poor.He has nothing to show as captain.

I think Dhoni's performances in the Test matches have been like that for quite some time. Though he has struck a fighting 99 in the final test, I think he struggles against spin and against genuine pace. This makes him quite vulnerable in test matches with close in players around the bat. Cheers! Ram

I also think that Dhoni should have played in the T20-20 matches and Virat Kholi should lead the ODI team and Sehwag should be the captain of test cricket. It is always good to have different team in different formats.

every batsman in the team is struggling against genuine pace and now genuine spin too. Dhoni is not the lone exception. But yes, Dhoni should be the t-20 captain. Let someone else captain the odi and test sides.

These are essential events that lead to a good change for Indian Test cricket team. Captain Cook leads his team in all manners, with bat as well as getting co operation of his team mates. What is Dhoni doing for his team? Dhoni may be a good captain for ODI or T20 matches. But for test matches he hasn't much to do.

Yeah,Test captain should have someone who is experienced about pitch and everything not that like Dhoni who use bats just like broom.

I don't think that it's a fault of a captain. Here total team is unable to perform. Although it's quite right that Dhoni takes some bad decision as a captain...

See Dhoni has no plan B which he can use if his first plan fails.

I think most probably Dhoni needs some rest and might be physically and mentally tired. I think Dhoni has been playing nonstop cricket and fatigue might be playing in his mind. I think most players suffer from burnout syndrome and they should be adequately rested in between. I also think that most probably rotating the players is one of the solution for resting the players.

I think Dhoni didn't studied from his past experience. He should learn it from Cook, leading from the friend. Till now he became the succesful captain of India when all other players were in form and was playing well. But once they are out of form Indian team is going again and again going in the ditch. Anyway in that case Dhoni is leading team India . When all his team was down in the first test only Cook played well even though they lost the test match. But i think that innings have given much strength to others. Like that innings, Dhoni should also perform, should help the team when they are in trouble. I think it's time for Dhoni to retire and not Sachin.

Dhoni should removed from captaincy in Test cricket and also should be dropped from the team, at least for one series. If and only if he performs well in domestic cricket i.e. Ranji Trophy or so he be taken back in the Test side. India is running 27 runs short of an innings defeat with the loss of 8 wickets.

Dhoni's individual skill has got vey poor.He should play Ranji for Team's sake.

I don't know what happend to this Indian cricket team. All 11 players are just like child in front of England. While Cook made 190(run out) on the other hand total 11 batsman of India are unable to get 190 runs in total...

Indian batsmen fell like 9pin before the england bowler.See Cook is a real batman who is least interested in this IPL and T20.When Dhoni plays with his broom in IPL T20,Cook plays county test thus enhanching his skills.

He was never a good test player,since he is an excellent limited overs captain and player he was given captain-ship of tests too by selectors,which certainly was a wrong move.8-0 loss led to retirement of VVS and Dravid but none of the other players were held accountable for that loss,instead BCCI was in state of denial,this thrashing had to happen.

Dhoni got 50 in the first outing, he is not hopeless but is now a losing capatain so everyone is ganging up on him.
