We are going to lose this aren't we..
India's thunder down under - Tour 2014/15
- Thread starter The Man Himself
- Start date
Brilliant.
Only an hour to go, I don't know if Dhoni can defend for that long.
Ashwin taking single of first ball is not good. He should be shielding Dhoni 
Horrible shot selection, what was he thinking? And on debut too... He should get another crack and should show some temperament next time.
Come on Dhoni, feck this up royally.
Looked a bit shit alright but Dhawan needs to be first in line to be dropped.
Dhawan will most probably be dropped and Rahul will replace him as an opener. That leaves Rohit Sharma back in the side
Not able to watch the match so following it on cricinfo.. By the looks of it,it seems Ashwin is taking most of the strike.. Is he shielding Dhoni now?
Just coincidental. Nothing intentional.
First draw away at Aus/Eng in 4 years.

Or Suresh Raina. Not sure which is worse
I think we are missing a left handed batsman in the middle order. Not sure Raina is the answer. But if we draw this, don't see any harm in having him in the team instead of Bhawan, Rahul or Sharma in Sydney.
Weird end to the game there.
We drew at TrentBridge this year.
Really can't see a point in being proud about drawing here and showing intent. This isn't 2000. We threw it away in Adelaide. Ofcourse there are some positives, but its hardly any consolation.
Oh yea.
Say whatever you want about India but you can't call Kohli purely a flat track bully. Great series from him.
Dhoni retires from Test cricket.
Kohli to lead obviously.

Raina isn't a bottler and more importantly, his attitude is miles and miles better.
Wow that's a surprise.
Dhoni retires with immediate effect. With still a match to go, that's a pretty strange decision.
To be fair that is a good call by MS.
Congrats @zing for the happiest day of your life.
Still don't think we're going to suddenly start winning/drawing because our bowling is not good enough, but this is a big step forward.
Wow. The correct decision. Hope it isn't being forced due to all the rumors of wrong doing though.
What's happened? We had only 1 more match left right..
Wondering the same.
No we won't.

I felt Dhoni received a bit harsher criticism in last few years. He wasn't very good test captain but was handicapped as well with very average bowling attack.
Interesting to see how Kohli handles captaincy. We have seen captaincy affect likes of Sachin and Dravid. Let's see if Kohli can be Ganguly like captain and simultaneously be Sachin of this generation.
Good riddance to the thieving cnut.
Kohli does seem to be more aggressive as a test captain.
He should be good for India.

Agreed. I also feel reserved about Kohli as a captain, but getting Dhoni replaced is a step forward. The defensiveness was hurting the team abroad. We won't feel the impact of it in the naer future as I think we won't have many away tests.
Wonder if Dhoni will retire from ODIs/T20s after WC as well. Nothing left to gain really, he can still make plenty of money with IPL.
The vice president retires. We weren't losing only due to him but he was a rubbish captain. Good riddance.
I hope not. He is still one of the best ODI players around.
I noticed how after the Aussies declared, Dhoni asked for the cricket ball from the umpires. I considered it odd then, but now it makes sense!
Dhoni's one of my favourite players and he has done well for India. Good luck to him.

Did we not tour WI or Sri Lanka or Bangladesh recently? That pic doesn't make good reading..
On a lighter note,loads of jokes on twitter about Rohit Sharma and Raina retiring or giving their resumes to naukri .com
He's aged hasn't he? Looks close to 50 these days. Very strange.
Someone in the crowd reported Hazlewood for not signing autographs
