Indian cricket team's continued poor performance


High time there is a rethinking on Dhoni's captaincy..

He is useless as a test captain.He is more concerned about pitches..

He wants turning track for test matches in India..

Funny thing is, India won the 1st test, but he blasted the pitch saying it does not suite the Indian team as it was not a turner..

The next 2 test matches he demanded and got turning tracks, he won the toss as well, still it's the England team who won.That too very convincingly.
India just about managed to avoid innings defeat in both the tests..!!

His failure as a test captain can easily be assessed by the mere fact that he does not know that the current team he has does not have good spinners who could exploit turning tracks and it also does not have batsmen who could score runs on turning tracks..

May be the performance of the team against England in the ongoing test series is a reflection of his negative thinking..

Team selection also does not seem correct.Yuvraj Singh is not a player whom you will select to play on turning tracks..

But then, it's a complete team failure and this team probably qualifies as the worst Indian test team India had for a very long long time..

Nobody has performed, be it the experienced Sachin Tendulkar or the talented youngsters like Virat Kohli..
India  and probably Sachin is missing the comfort of having a Rahul and VVS Laxman in the batting line-up..

Earlier, even when India looses abroad, there was always the comforting feeling that we are tigers at home and can beat every team in India..
Home tigers has now become rats..!!
The team is running away like rats, they don't know in which hole they can bury their head, due to these shameful performances..

God knows, if English spinner Monty Panesar had played the 1st test, this series would have been a 4-0 whitewash..!!!

What ever it is, it looks like Dhoni has gone way beyond his expiry date as India's test captain..
He is too negative in his thinking and defeats are piling up under him..

Time for fresh thinking at the top..
