Michael Holding, in Firstpost.com, says India's captain cannot really prevent England from dominating with the bowlers he has at his disposal.
There have been a few comments surrounding Dhoni’s captaincy in this series but this is mediocre bowling and hence the results produced cannot be a reflection on Dhoni’s captaincy. He is captaining the team that is best available to him. Even if Clive Lloyd, Steve Waugh, Ian Chappell, Mark Taylor or Stephen Fleming or any of the other great and successful captains from the past were to captain this side they would have struggled. The fact is India needs to find some good bowlers and quickly at that.
