Re: Dhoni verdict

Only Yadav, Kohli, Ashwin, and maybe Zaheer Khan should be sure of their places in Adelaide.

ashwin? i'd play ojha instead

sehwag is not a long term captaincy choice, but he will be captain for adelaide

dhoni looks like he is near the end of the line with regards to his place in the team itself, let alone captaincy. he made a statement that he may retire from tests next year anyways, so the selectors should be careful of appointing someone who is clearly not looking at keeping his job for too long

the next generation has not thrown up many options yet, so sehwag may have to play the role kumble played in 07-08. keep the seat warm for the youngster establishing himself in the test side. out of all the candidates kohli is most suited for captaincy, though he has a lot to do if he wants to make a permanent place in side as a batsman

Judging by this test he doesn't.

Sehwag will be captain in Adelaide, maybe a blessing in disguise for the Bannies.

Dhoni has told NDTV that he's happy to step aside as India's captain.

I'm sure Dhoni would be more than happy to quit tests altogether and concentrate on his IPL career.

Lucky for him, i'm sure most Indian fans wouldn't mind. He's like a reality TV cricketer- All hype, and no actual substance.

Aye, he's been a media darling since 2007. He's been sh!t for a long time.

i hope they dont plan to keep sehwag as captain too long. might as well start making plans to have kohli take over sooner rather than later. appoint him VC in the odi and test sides
