I see a lot of messages where Sachin's and Saurav's name called for captain position. We need to look on a long term basis. Ganguly cant be captain for more than 1.5-2 years. He and Sachin wont be playing next WC, most prob. So they chose Dhoni, just as SA chose Smith.

Yes vivek.. When smith was selected, there was a similar outcry.. and see now where he has taken South Africa.. Dhoni's selection is the best thing BCCI has taken in a long while..

Dhoni can only play on sub continent wickets he is completely useless on fast, bouncy, swinging wickets! We have seen him playing recently..Now BCCI has made his position permanent in TEAM INDIA as he is captain! Its getting worst from bad!

I agree. I'm not saying that Dhoni is the best person to captain India. Whoever they chose, dont chose the aging masters. THey are good, one of the best in the world, but old. THey had only limited options. Sehwag is not sure in the team, Kaif has gone. Now only Dhoni and Yuvi remains. I dont know why they chose Dhoni.
