India should remove Dravid as captain. Dravid should be dropped from one day team as well. India had a great chance of going up 2-0 in the test series but Dravid made sure India did not win 3rd test. Anyways it was a mistake to appoint Dravid as captain when Ganguly was doing just fine. But now it is time to appoint Yuvrak or Karthik or Dhoni as captain. Dravid has proved himself to be a scared mouse and it is time to sack him for good as captain and from one day team as well.

Reply to Priyadarshan. What role does Dravid have in One day team? What purpose does Dravid serve as captain? He is a born loser. He thinks of losing and not winning. He lost to Bangla in World Cup in first round itself.
India had actually drew the test series with England 1-1 , blame this on rain otherwise England wud have won 1st match . Throw Dravid out y didnt he imposed follow on ... He is a real idli samba guy cant have courage... He declared wen tendulakr was on 194 against Pak. he doesnt knw its due to Tendulkar Indian cricket is known all over the World. He is real Idli Sambar guy .. Zaheer was fit to bowl ... He just want to put his name in the Wining captains in England ... He shud be brought down for scoring 12 out of 100 balls

Dravid and Sachin are India's worst captains. Ganguly and Lala Amarnath have been India's best captains.

i think u r a ICL sympathiser no matter, competition in all field bring good results. i don't think they will engage sachin bcoz he is not a teamman which is a must quality for ICL to grow
rahul dravid proved he is better captain than ganguly in less than 2 yrs. team won odi and test series without ganguly thendulkar under dravid\'s captaincy. and 2 ex captains jealous of dravid and trying their best to prove dravid not good capatain by playing safe for self and negative for team. it happened during SA tour and WC 2007. dravid is better managed all players and playing safe so that ind did not loose the series.dravid is not timid or coward captain but very intlligent that he not only managed to win the series but managing dirty back stage politics of ganguly and tendulkar and and their gang. Befroe the III test ganguly chamacha media person came up with false story about 20 twenty cup team selection blaming dravid and dravid has to clarify it zahir khan is gnaguly chamacha and he never like dravid so he will say he is not tired at least sRee got 5 wkt in less than one of int\'l cricket but zhir khan got only 2 times in 6 yrs int\'l career. since vengasrakar is supporting the tendulkar and his chelas yuvraj, gnaguly and tendulakar are breathing neck of dravid as captian. dravid anchored success for gnaguly as captain 2075 runs in 21 tests average 105.11 in which india won under gnaguly. and when everybody was scraming tendulkar should retire dravid supported tendulkar instead of reciprocating both ex captains are jealous and trying best to get rid of dravid team the way they did it to chappell ind media no guts to highlight the dirty politics of 2 ex captai

It must be remembered that inspite of so many oppositions from within and outside Dravid could still lead India to a great victory. How silly the media in India is visible now with correspondents particularly from the region of the then Captain had connived to Dravid Bashing? Even in the domestic circuit when Dravid led the senior team against the former captain , the present Captain has won many more times with his own performance eclipsing others which itself is a testimony to the great player he is

by amit sharma on Aug 17, 2007 01:29 PM
good said, dravid won 4 overseas test in 25 test (approx) n ganguli in 49, however winning % in one day is better ganguli, no doubt dravid is better captain, n zaheer khan was wrong in saying that he was fit, bcoz if he was fit then why did they took 15 overs to bowl out 10th wicket of eng n why did not he get any wicket in 2nd inning , actaally as chappel said zaheer has attitude prob bcoz he is not well educated like harbhazan
RE:RE:dravid is better captain he manages not only team but managed backstage politics of 2 ex captains
by dont know on Aug 17, 2007 01:55 PM
zaheer is thinking that he is the only top fast bowler for India now. And India have no one but to play only him. He took some wickets in england and he is thinking he is great. surely he has an attitude problem. chappel said it right.
U have done good job.by hitting above 50 runs with 8 fours and 1 six...what a great badsman u are...sure india needed such kind of players.. sure u have got a good future for the Indian cricket..keep going...Sure ur partner('Shewage') will be comming soon to our indian side. Sure u both can give some big knocks for the indian side... pls dont forget ur aggressiveness... keep hitting all the good bals..
shewage and Uttapa... India is very lucky to having u guys...Best of luck...

I am quite surprised to find some of the contributers continuing to ask for Ganguly's ouster.I think in recent months Ganguly has played remarkably well. On such consistent performance, there would be hardly any peers for him in contemporary cricket. Does it make sense to criticise him at this juncture? I think there is more prejudice, regional or otherwise, than cricketing thinking in such ideas. Or is it the fear of the Naploean coming back for a second stint? I think a second coming by Ganguly will be stupid. Under the present circumstances he will not be able to deliver any thing and would only earn a bad name. Being a shrewed cricketer, he knows it too well. I do not believe he is aspiring to become captain again.
RE:Uncalled for criticism
by Jay on Aug 17, 2007 12:08 PM
Its true Ganguly has played well in recent months. He has been the most reliable middle order batsman in tests. Now with all due respect to Mr. Tendulkar thats an amazing feat. Hopefully he does good in the upcoming 7-match ODI series.

Hey chillu.. chill dude. Parthiv scored a wonderful 100 against Kenya while playing for India A last week so hes in good form and should be considered in the near future. We don't want to see some of our young cricketers being wasted by these BCCI fools. I wish him good luck.

Dear zutshi Zahir is a high headed idi&t even though he is the hero of the series. He was all plastered up and if he had bowled continuosly probably he would have been in rehab at South Africa. Success goes to his head very easily. Probably he was afraid that if he has not uttered about fitness he would have been dropped for next assignment. Thats' it. India had only one fit bowler in Kumble. Shreesanth wayward, RP occationally effective, Zahir not fully fit (look at statistics- no wicket), on whom dravid will depend? Mahendra Singh Dhoni? and Tendulkar (again over bowling Tedulkar would have called for critics to cry that Dravid wanted to screw up tendulkar's arm)? Let the things be as it is and enjoy the success.

HEY Binny What do u really mean by idli sambar guy here? If sachin is not one , then hope u saw how he got his stumps rattled .Has he ever scored in a 4th innings of a test match recently for a winning cause - include SA and England tour ...Whatever it is , u play to win the series ..Look at the big picture and don't be a person who is happy winning against Bermuda with a WC record ..Winning the Cup matters , thats all at the end of the day . Please do not sit before the PC and write whatever u think of ..unless you are good enough to play for india ..
