How could you choose Dravid when the performance has been so pathetic and defeating all along? The team is together because each one is afraid of loosing their position and no one is working as a team to win. Mr.Chappel only seems to know what is happening on the game front. Yes! you can award him as the "loosing captain of the year".
For india it was none other than Ganguly as the best captain till date. The captain of the year should go to the Australian captain only.
It would not have come at a better time for ponting as Australia's captain was named the ICC Test Player and Player of the Year.A true recognition which shows the efforts n committment involved in growing not only as a player vis a vis captain.From the last two years he has been performing well in both forms of the game and its difficult to believe that at one stage he was into the drugs controversy n was not sure whether he could make it again to the aussie team in near future.What stands out is the willpower n confidence in overcoming these obstacles n stand by as an example and as a trendsetter in the game.Once a team reaches a certain height n achieves new destinations its difficult to maintain the same repo.Taking over from steve was not an easy job as aussies were doing exceedingly well during that period and as such expectations go high.Well best of luck to ricky n company in the mini world cup finals.Hope they get a good fight from the carrebeans.
