Dhoni's shot hasn't got enough flack. Was truly horrendous. Reminded me of Trent Bridge in 2011 when India just went down swinging instead of showing any proper fight to dig in.

It was awful even if he wasn't captain. Incredible that he survived their fall from grace in 2011, surely it's time for someone else to take the reins now?

Na, they will give him a home series which they will win and the cycle continues.

FMD this turned out even worse that I imagined. Apologies fellow Indian fans.My fellow Indian fans. I hate to interrupt the celebrations but I have bad news.
I was supposed to go to this Lord's test match but in the end couldn't make it. Instead I will be attending day 1 of the 3rd test in Southampton.
I remind you all of my record of attending Indian away cricket matches - 7 losses and 1 draw.
Never attended an Indian win outside of India. I may **** this series up

Jono to change his custom title to: England's MotS v India 2014.
We can't even say that anymore after our tour there in 2012. Seriously, they went through a period where they lost 10 tests out of 12 against top six opposition in the space of 18 months and nothing changed in the Indian hierarchy. There really is nothing that will change it unless there are resignations.

Was about to post the same thing
Dhoni has had at least 2 "Ashes" debacles (England & Oz tours), a bad home defeat (England) and now this team looks as if it has jumped off a cliff
The guy obviously wields huge power at home

The best replacement candidate, Kohli, is in the worst form of his career. If Dhoni didn't go after 0-4 Eng, 0-4 Aus and 1-2 Eng in Ind, he's not going after winning a test at Lord's. Not when Kohli is copping the most criticism of his short career so far.

Surely the best replacement candidate would be someone who can actually play Test Cricket

Not that many options in India's team though are there, if that's a proviso. Give it to Ishant Sharma I reckon.Surely the best replacement candidate would be someone who can actually play Test Cricket

Not really as we know Cook is a test player for many more years, Dhoni isn't skipper and he is probably gone.
I've heard far worse ideas, tbh. Wouldn't mind this.Ashwin for skipper

My gut feel is that Cook's batting is going the same way as Mark Taylor's did i.e. prolific > prolonged slump > inconsistent to the end of his career
There are just too many technical flaws that everyone in world cricket is aware of and a couple of test wins hasn't changed that
