Dhoni to miss first Test against Bangladesh
January 16, 2010
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has again been ruled out of a Test match because of back spasms, and Virender Sehwag will be leading the newly crowned number one test team.

I think South Africa and Australia are much better than them."Match starts at 9 am IST.
