Dhoni's abrupt good-bye stunning, mystifying (Comment: Special to IANS)

"with immediate effect" is as stunning as it is mystifying. Cricket captains who have led their country for as long as Dhoni has – 60 Tests, to be exact – don't bid good-bye as unceremoniously and as instantly as he did at Melbourne on Tuesday. The words "immediate effect" say it all. After missing the first Test, did he have to go all the way to Melbourne to announce his decision? What if under him India had not lost the Test and, with it, the series against Australia. There is one more match to go before the four-match series ends. via Sify.com http://www.sify.com/news/dhonis-abrupt-good-bye-stunning-mystifying-comment-special-to-ians-news-others-om5kFLddgcaje.html
