Another disappointing series loss, this time most unexpectedly in India on spin-friendly pitches, when the much-vaunted Indian batting machine shut down with little more than a whimper, and our own masters of spin failed to extract any juice from the pitches, while the English spinners looked almost devilish on the same surfaces.
TV channels, and experts, have been quick to pounce on Dhoni for his uninspired leadership and communication skills (while also saying he remains the best captain for one dayers - wondering how leadership skills and communication change as per the format of the game!).
At the end of the day, if batters don't put up the runs, and the bowlers can't take 20 wickets, you cannot win a Test. You can blame the captain, but the team really needs to pull up their socks and stop finding scapegoats.
