He is, without a doubt. Just like his bowling this year.

Sehwag has been criminally under bowled.

He 'seems' strictly OK. But atm his bowling is a bigger worry than his captaincy.

And to think that Spanky was extolling his virtues so effusively last summer. I always thought he was a fraud.

I think Kumble's a decent captain. Definitely better than Dravid IMO.

India's results under him are dire.

kumble was selected as a stop-gap. i think he has had more than his fair share of series as captain. time to move on

So do you think Dhoni is ready to be appointed as India's test captain as well?

But he has that tendency of his foot in mouth all the times.

Don't think BCCI will take chances with him.

And that too when him being the captain should've been setting benchmarks for his team mates by his performance.

BTW, there are few people who STILL think he is worth a slot in Indian team. And unsurprisingly, Josh is one of them.

IS one of them? Or isn't one of them?

He's lost his fizz. The ball isn't kicking and spitting like it used to. Mind you, Harbhajan hasn't been much better.

He is one of them who has taken up cudgels to oust the seniors (Read Tendulkar) from Indian team.

I's like to see the collective stats of India's bowlers in 2008.

Only Zaheer and Ishant have been anything like impressive this year. Kumble and Harbhajan have been rubbish.

It has to be said, Kumble's bowling after the Aussie tour has been absolutely toothless. Bowled tight most times, but barring a few balls, he hasn't looked like picking a wicket at all.

Mind you India has played most of its tests in '08 at spin friendly venues. And still Kumble averages 50+ this year.

Zaheer has bowled much better recently than his stats suggest.
