Did Dravid support Sachin and Ganguly when Chappel blamed them for world cup debacle?
Did Dravid support Yuvraj when selectors decided to give the vice captaincy to Dhoni?
Isnt it the responsibility of the captain to stand by his team his players.BCCI has a gag order on the players so they cant talk to media but why cant captain speak up when its required.
It seems Dravid gains more by keeping quite. Saved his captaincy after the world cup.
Everyone knows Dhoni will take time to stake claim on India's captaincy while Yuvraj was ready to take over Dravid whenever Dravid failed.

I dont know how you people stake these claims on Indian team as though you were all days touring with them.
Did you people ever go and see what happens when inside the team. No!!!!!!!!!!!!! then why do u all pass comments like this that the captain did not support his team.
What did ganguly do then, did he support them. No!!! he supported only the players he liked. That is all.
First look at a broader perspective. There is not need to talk about vice captaincy. I dont think there is much roll involved in it who ever it is.
yuvraj, is playing well. Let him perform. Why do u want him to take up vice captaincy. Do u know about his captaincy , team management skills, NO!!!!!!! then how do u say he is better than Dhoni,
A silent captain doesnot mean he is not fit for anything. Voiceferous captain not always succeeds. It is how best he extracts the potential out of the players. So dont judge him out of the things you see on TV, or watch in the ground or the comments made by the media.
Judge only by performance. Dravid has high winning percentage in tests outside india than ganguly

Did you hear Mr DRAVID speak up against chappel when he blamed Sachin and Ganguly.
On what reasons did Yuvraj loose his captaincy to Dhoni.U dont have a answer to that.
We are not talking about Ganguly here. the Discussion is between Yuvraj Dhoni and Dravid.
Ganguly supported the talent not people he like but the truth is everyone he supported ended up liking ganguly...the list is long...bhajji sehwag pathan zaheer.
You are trying to say Sachin was mafia during the world cup...the guy who didnt even bat at the position he always wanted to bat...thanks to dravid and chappel.
Sachin was scaring youngster....thats crap.
U need to be really dumb to believe that.
The point is what wrong has Yuvraj done that even his captain did not support him when they took away his vice captaincy.as he was next in line to be captain.
Thats how Dravid lost respect from all the team members.

this happens because we puts too much pressue on the captain. we dont realise that capain is just anothe team member who has geven authoirty to implement the strategies discussed in the dressin room. We always forget that cricket is a team game and Captain cannot do anyting if all the team dont play as a team and perform as a team.
