Bad moves: 1.Taking P.Patel rather than Dhoni(wasting 2 years of Dhoni) 2.Keeping Zaheer when he came back after injury despite of his bad performance 3.Playing with Bhajji despite of his bad performance
Good moves: 1.Opening with Sehwag in test 2.Taking 3-1 combination in abroad(3 seamers and 1 spinner) 3.Keeping with Dravid and 7-4 combination in ODI

Had Dravid not been given the role of a wicketkeeper, he would have been out of the Indian team 7 years back!

Who knew Dhoni will play like this today?? Patel was good enough a batsman! you have to mind that! Did anybody know before Sachin came to Indian team that eh will play for 20 years?? Then you have to be a astrologer and not a captain!

It's not about batting. It's about keeping. Patel dropped so many crucial catches on Aus and Eng tour.

i think Zaheer made a come back after being dropped for an year in the captaincy of Dravid not Ganguly !!!!!!!!!!! Ganguly & Zaheer both were dropped simultaneously after Zimbabwe series in 2005 !!!!!!!!!! lol

Zaheer got injured in Aus tour 2003. But he came back in Pak tour 2004 and was in the the team for more than 1 year(without performing) under Ganguly's captaincy.
