Team anthem follows Sorry can not make you hear the tune Although I composed one
The Comeback King
The King comes back, the comeback King; They said the sun has lost its light, Cricket is a song, sing all sing; Tyger Tyger burning bright in the forests of the night. Boundaries? Nations?? Who cares? Visions of tomorrow cross expectations. Barriers of parochial pieces of branding the genius, In small petty misimagination! Slap Dada slap! Scrub and rub your bat on Their nose till they bleed. Dada comeback Come back Dada the King. Shine Dada shine Dada shine you bright On the mountain top, the sea In the meadows, on the field. Shame Dada shame Shame on those buffoons Who your fame cannot digest. Make them a bundle, Put in a sack Hit it hard, hit them tight; Send them forever out of sight.
dravid is doing good job as capttain shared credit of victory with other players even though media is unfair to him ODI records of Ganguly as captain Matches147 won76 lost 66 drawn 4
Dravid's record as a captian Matches 62 won32 lost 26 drawn 4
Test Matches Captaincy plyd---won--lost---drawn Ganguly 2000-06 49 21 13 15 R. Dravid - 20 6 6 8 Azharuddin1989-99 47 14 14 19 Tendulkar1996-2000 25 4 9 12 Team India played one triangular series under dravid%u2019s leadership but lost DLF cup while team play 9 traingular series in 5 yrs under ganguly as captaint, won 2 lost 5 and 2 series drawn. Team went to WC final under ganguyly but b%u2019cuz of superb batting by sachin more than ganguly%u2019s captaincy or aggression. Sachin played well against Pakistan won match to lead team to semis. Why not ppl / media did not give credit to sachin???
Ganguly was captain for 5 yrs( ganguly had dalmiya%u2019s to support in bcci throughtout his career and media is alwyas with ganguly) and dravid for 1 1/2 year Not only media is unfair to dravid, sachin with strong mumbi lobby and ganguly with his polittician's influence are breathing on the neck of dravid for fighting to regain captaincy back.
Odi batting average for dravid as captian is better than his normal one, won 1 out of 22 in first year and lost12 out 17, 3 win and team did not loose any odi series under dravid%u2019s captaincy but humiliated defeat in WI, SA but won in Pakistan. Dravid captancy is recongised by ICC for his success in 1 yr his name was shortlisted for ICC captain of year award along with vaghun, ponting, mahila also won cap for ICC test team captian. Ganguly won MOS after six years, wheile dravid won MOS, MOM (after being captain just within 8 months in WI without ganguly and tendulkar..Dravid won test matches in multan, WI, SA, proved he is classic captain like wadekar and kapildev Dravid supported youngersters like robin, KKD, Sreesant, raina, munaf the ganguly supported kaif, yuvi, herbajan, irfan.. When dravid supported Veeru for WC, he was dubbed as arrogant but ganguly support is praised as inspiring. Druing ganguly 's captaincy kumble and laxman were out odi team b'cuz of both weree not in good books of ganguly even after good performance. Gnaguly also responsible for closing the int%u2019l careera for hemang badani, Akash chopra, Ajay ratra, parthiv patel, S ramesh, S S das, dinesh mongia some youngsters In last tour of ZIb ind won under gangul%u2019s captaincy - even dravid was captian India would have won Even Ind won many test under ganguly , team had many humiliated defeat against aussies, kiwis, Pakistan WI And in SA team India did not win seires in any time irrespective of players and cpatian. In SA gnaguly scored more runs but it was Sreesant , KKD, and irfan won the MOMs. And wasim jafer and laxman batted well Druing odi series against WI it was dravid scored highest nos. runs.
Team won many tests under Ganguly%u2019s leadership b%u2019cuz of contributions of dravid, sachin, laxman, kumble and sewag. Victory was possible b%u2019ucz of other players contribution more than ganguly%u2019s leadership or his own performance. Ganguly was non perforoming captain last 2 years of his captaincy.
Media is overhyped the news of ganguly%u2019s return and and won MOS. Sachin won Mom and MOS against WI series, but there was hardly any noise. Even kumble and zahirkahn made come back after doing well in county media hardly mentioned about these 2 players.Even dhoni, yuvraj, dravid, robin batted well.
Ganguly always very aggressive, authorative and showed his dominance on field or infront of medi in his appproch as a captain, while dravid is cool, methodical and calculative ,defensive.. ganguly was accredited for team victory as a succesgfi; captian, while when team wom dravid%u2019s captaincy the victory was shared by all players. But after each defeat, dravid%u2019s captaincy was compared to ganguly%u2019s success, and many ppl / media criticised dravid and passed negative comments. other players were blamed. How much relevant is comparison of 16 months captaincy with 5 years ??? Even john and ganguly did not built the team in one year or not won all series. They also watched how the team reached WC final in 2003 and after that how the team was collapsed When dravid made captain team was ranked 8th I icc odi ranking and 2nd in Test, but now team is ranked 5th in odi and 4th in test ranking. No personal things s against any players. Hope cricket fans won%u2019t put any biased msgs against players / personal and their family members. BEST OF LUCK TO TEAM INDIA
Hey! just see what the all time big traitors of India (Suman,Sushmita,Forrest etc.. )like Kiran More has joined this forum..I am feeling immense pleasure by the pain of theses animals are getting with the stronger and boldful return of Dada.. These people shpould not be entertained and should be kicked off not only from this forun but from India..they should know the consequences to spoke against dada..Hell to all of you..And great going dada..we want more from you ..best luck to the Indian team.
Zahir khan and Anil kumble made a come back after performing well in county cricket without any media cheals, policians 's influence or not crying infront of media. Even laxman is out of team but he does not make any noise. Laxman and kaif should have included in WC team.munaf, sreeesant and bajji bowled well. dhoni did a good job behind wkts. and robin veeru, sachin dravid, ganguly dhoni scored runs. good bowling supported by good fielding. Team did wonderful job and played better cricket. Captain dravid managed resources very well. congratulations to skipper dravid and team india BEST OF LUCK TO WC
Tyger, Tyger burning bright In the forests of the night. He is the golden day shining On the mountain top- The fields and the meadows.
Dada I see you everywhere; In the sky above us I see Your face in the dark night.
You are the inspiration of One thousand million who find Their life worth living; You made the boundaries wither away One thousand millions dance to your tune.
Shine Dada shine and burn even brighter- Hit hard all senseless illogical Utterences out of the fences hundred miles away.
Live Dada live. Live long! Live strong!! Dada the Darling Daring!!!

Write a poem how ganguly used dlamiay when he was in power to stick to captiacy even he was out of form and how gracefully backstabbed dalmiya after dalmiay lost power and changed party. How thousands of ganguly fans humilitated dravid and team india during oid mathc against kolkata last year??

i am not jobless like u/. team india consists of another 10 players and they are doing more good job / performance than ganguly. Grow beyond boundaries of WB/kolkata and praise indian team Praise current skipper dravid who is doing a better job as a captian than ganguly without any media hype, political influence and godfather in bcci statistics and vedio clips prove this.

Dada hater get lost. The country does not need you. Enough damage you people have done by spreading lies against Dada and venom against Bengalis. Go beyond your small ghettos and slums and think national.

Real leader is Dada. See how the young brigade is dancing in Dada's success- Dhoni and Yuvraj. Does not matter who is nominated captain by the honey Board. Dada is the real leader, the real charger.

Guys remember , just write what is needed , dont waste your time to reply to others saying write about your opinion which is given, cos your word is valuable, there are people who blindly support media made false icons like tendulkar !!!

Mr indra , Tendulkar is one of greatest batsman in world in ODI no ever can beat him in india it is not blindly support he has won more matches for india then any one this itself shows how great batsman he is .Dravid always been a always rock solid he is great Test player and now in ODI he is doing well has cpatain & player .Ganguly is stroke player he has done well has captain & player in ODI and his great comeback to cricket is lesson for youngsters that everthing is possible in this world if person have strong will power . It is great to indian cricket we have 3 great cricketers.Its time to support team india not a single player .
Can Anybody come up with some good slogans , poems banner material to prop up the team for WC? Whatever we have we'll have do our best to cheer them up. WE owe it to the team after all the trash we've been writing about them. OK So let's hear it folks!!!!

My friend do you know that agarkar took the sole responsibility of sending back india from world cup 99. Please have a look at his figures in the India-Zim match which India lost.... He is in the team only beacuse he hails from mumbai... otherwise his fate would have been similar to manoj pravakar... do not talk shit in public...that too without stats...you cannot replace india team by mumbai ranji team... Now a simple question.. how many payers in world do have a better comeback than ganguly? who has the best captaincy record in india? I think wasim jaffar has his chances in SA....

This really painfull to see this country divided in opinion around regional lines. As per players , Ganguly shud have been droped !! or else we wud not have got refreshed Dada which we r relishing of now. As per Agarkar, no doubt great ability but inconsistency & frickle mindedness has done his undoing rather than he being a mumbaikar. Please rise above regional lines and take unpartial look u will find that grossly what has happnd , is for the best of INDIAN Cricket

My dear frnd, Ajit agarkar was out of the team only bcoz of his inconsistancy.He was a revolution in the early stages of his career.But look at his economy rate.It was always a concern for him.Even from the initial stages he had an economy rate more than five.Not only that how often u c a fast bowler make a terrific entry, then suffer from out of form and then come back strongly as he become older or as he become mature.Even Srinath was like that.Only in the late stages of his career he became a sure bet in Indian team.If Ajit is performing well now it is becoz he is matured by time.It has nothing to do with captaincy of Dada.Don't blame anyone based ur foolish views without base.Before blaming anyone plz look into the facts my dear frnd.ok?
