What can we expect from a person who got Managership at the age of 72?The person at 72 is going to play always safe.It is foolish to defend Dravid by Borde.Evne if we were allout for 150 in the second innings while scoring the lead would have been more than 450 runs and that would have been difficult for England team and our bowlers would have got enough time.But This Dravid is not a agrressive captain.Had it been Ganguly, we would have won the series by 2-0.

Apne players ka manager ko, avam players ko apne khel par hi viswas na ho to kayer ki tarah khelne se behtar hai maidan chhod kar dusaro ko mauka do mitti ke sher aur ha yeh comment Rahul ke liye hi hai, Mr Reliable kahlane ka bada shouk hai Darpok.

I completely agree with Mr Rajendra Bongale. Captain should be aggresive in taking right decisions. Bowlers hadly bowled 10 overs on 4th day. They could not be tired after bowling few overs per person.
Mr. Borde is perfect exmaple of THALI KA BAIGAN, he dosent has a spine and agree / disagree with any thing and everything, i just can't understand why the BCCI is using Lambreta when the same finds place on in Museams
yaa i am agree with Mr. Borde that England has capable to chase 500. But i am sure that India got feared to chase 150-200 runs in fourth innings. Is it not right???????
Agreed bcoz we cant trust our bowlers who r inconsistent mentally & physically & the fact is we simply dont have bowlers of International standards..Cheers
From the interview, it is aptly clear that the decision making lies entirely in the hands of the management and Dravid and company have very little say in it. I guess, Chandu Borde is equally to blame for not having the guts to go for the follow-on and going for the kill instead he preferred playing it safe. When the management lacks the killer instinct, what can you expect from the unpredictable 11.

All the idiots in India have just one sport: CRICKET. So, like all backseat drivers they pile on the team. You are looking at a team that won after 21 years!!! None of the morons before that won for 21 YEARS. One other thing that we have is this regional crap. I am surprised to see this on Rediff since I thought that mostly people that are outside India go to this site. If you are still regional and cannot enjoy the teams win, you can understand how the country became a SLAVE for that long first to the Moghuls and then to the British. What on earth is wrong with you people? Criticize the guy by saying he made a debatable decision. However, he is responsible for winning not YOU.
Look at what India has done in the last innings outside the sub-continent or that matter inside the sub-continent in MUMBAI. I think all these MORONS are not happy with their own lives so they want to say nasty things about a set of people that finally gelled and played like a TEAM. God Save you from the misery you are in for not being able to enjoy this win. WHERE WERE THESE REGIONAL FREAKS WHEN SAURAV DID NOT ENFORCE THE FOLLOWON IN SYDNEY????? Whey did they do what they did there? We got close there as well actually Australia was closer. Learn to appreciate people when the do well and learn to love your coutry irrespective of where the people are from inside the country. STUPID FREAKS.

We talk about united India and sports brings people together and all but in reality it is not so. I have seen how people in Kolkata use to fire crackers and enjoy whenever India did well against the opponents under Ganguly but not one cracker was fired or use to be fired after Dravid took over captaincy legitimately. Moreover I have observed a strong anti-south Indian feelings among the North and East Indians . This is obviously due to the inferiority complex generated by the good or better performance of the Southerners. I have been a witness to so many things concerning the Indians as a whole and can tell you with 100% impugnity that the country will collapse in one or the other way. Bedi bashing Murali and this too when knowing very well that the Tamil spinner will eclipse the great Warne.
