I initially thought he'd be a good stop-gap for Kohli, but things are so ****ed now we may as well pull a South Africa/Graeme Smith and give Kohli the captaincy and go for broke.BCCI will probably make him captain after this series then.

Apart from the morning session this has been a perfect game from England so far. Total domination and no let up in the pressure on Dhoni and India.
Would Dhoni get sacked before the next game or will they wait and hope they can draw level first?

I highly doubt Dhoni will get sacked even if they get pumped in the fourth Test. He's too high profile in India now and there are no obvious replacements.
I always thought Sehwag would actually make an awesome captain; there were glowing reports about his leadership and knowledge of the game coming through for ages.. but every time I've seen him in action he's been a complete defensive joke with no idea. He might be different with his own side (rather than doing his duties as vice captain) but I wasn't impressed with him in the IPL either.
I'm not sure how serious Jono is but with Kohli being so terrible with the bat this series, captaincy is probably the last thing he needs at the moment.

always had a feeling that this could happen at any time
finally some hard decisions will now be made for the betterment of the team,
you'd think that would be the case after 1.5 yrs of same old abject performances.

Yeah I'm not sure 'nowhere near it' is accurate as I remember it being quite hard to call, as you say though it was definitely lbw if he hadnt hit it so they went with it anyway.
But, great stuff this. Good to see Jimmy back in top form.

Sehwag being a good captain was one of these myths that everyone fell for. Just read it or heard it and we all believed it. It kind of was a thing we all wanted to believe, a guy who just attacks with the bat was also a very attacking and exciting captain. Proved to be ****house.
Gambhir really is the only option for captaincy, which is a sad state of affairs for Indian cricket right now because his spot as a batsman should be under pressure.
Kohli failing in 3 innings in a test series needs to be put in perspective itbt. Played well vs. Aust (last 3 innings were slogging with the tail, incorrectly given out and then run out).

Nah I remember it being really, really obvious that he'd missed it.
