Don't like the wide mid-on and wide mid-ff Dhoni has set. It saves runs because as the ball is swinging, it's harder for the batsman to hit straight, but it encourages them to play straighter and that makes it harder for India to get wickets. Defensive.

Matches against The Windies and NZ have to be taken with a grain of salt. He averaged 36 against them and looked average. He was averaging 40 last year against quality sides.
His last two series were against the West Indies and South Africa.

Ok, my mistake. But in 2011 which includes 1 SA test, he has taken 20 wickets @ 35.7. Last year he took 43 @ 40.7. That is not great. He had one good innings against SA at the start of the year but he's been pretty toothless since. Plus he doesn't look on song and the same bowler he once was. He isn't getting as much side spin and more importantly overspin meaning he can't decieve in flight.

We held them to two draws tbh. All the batsmen bar Taylor played very well.

Look, I'm not exactly his biggest fan. I just think it would be strange to drop him now.
Agreed. Choose the most likley possible successor to him. Play them both In India where they play 2 spinners. Then continue on with the new spinner and drop Harbhajan.

Who knows, he might rediscover him talent in that time.
