Yuvraj can be tried as dravid lacks the agression ganguly is old and sachin is a better batsman than a captian
We have gone to the old indian cricketing style like giving up before the match ends. dravid may be a fighter but has not proved to instill the fighting spirit to others in this regard Yuvraj has a very Assertive attitude and has that carefree style which ganguly had we need to groom him as he has the basic qualities.

This is may funny and it will not happen too but small suggestion. Yes. Indian government and BCCI should bring up new rule saying Indian Captain should be elected by the People of India (VOTE). People elect their captain through online.

We never blamed sachin for selfishness or sehwag as a wasted talent when we had saurav suddenly all these players have become in a way ineffective .... Though Sachin is still doing well in patches .. we were forced to throw out Pathan ..Munaf .... Raina ..... with exeption to Dhoni we are not able to bring out match winners as we were able to bring out sehwag/ yuvi/ Kaif .......who came as raw talents but proved to be success after coming to the team It is sad that we still rely on the trio of S.S.D to survive even if they are across the peak
RE:LETS TRY YUVRAJ AS CAPTAIN AS HE HAS AN AGGRESSIVE OUTLOOK
by Upadrasta PardhaSaradhi on Jul 14, 2007 01:29 PM
Also remember that other 10 players also has the responsibility to play like a team.
Where r you whne india chased 17 consecutive one days under dravid? where r you when we won a test series against pakistan for the first time under dravid? Where are you when India beat SA for the first time outside sub-continent under Dravid?
it is unfair to compare the captaincy of Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid, as both have their own contrasting styles.
wt matters is the end result and so far dravid has a 50.4% winning record and ganguly has 52% winning record. this speaks that even though both has contrasting styles, they have a equallly good record.
RE:LETS TRY YUVRAJ AS CAPTAIN AS HE HAS AN AGGRESSIVE OUTLOOK
by Upadrasta PardhaSaradhi on Jul 14, 2007 12:51 PM
I cant understand these statements like dravid is not aggressive and so on. Can you define the term "aggreession" here? does this mean you take your shirt off or you go after your bowlers and abuse them infront of the camera and so on???
Every player has his own style of leading the team. Some will be more deplomatic, clam, cool and still gets the results. some will be in complete different style.
but what matters in the end is the result. If team members don%u2019t take the responsibility and don%u2019t perform well, wt a Coach or Captain or a team lead can do?
This is not a childish game or no player is a child to tell on each and every day, every morning wt you need to do.

the end result of aggression ( waving the shirt incident) was that atleast for some time india fought as a team rather than a bunch of great induvidual batsmen and useless bowlers
RE:LETS TRY YUVRAJ AS CAPTAIN AS HE HAS AN AGGRESSIVE OUTLOOK
by Upadrasta PardhaSaradhi on Jul 14, 2007 01:03 PM
India fought as a team because we have youngsters who wanted to prove themselves and proved thmmselves.
Once those idiots like sehwag, yuvraj, bhajji proved themeselves , they started playing politics and dont behave in the way they should behave and play.
When ganguly supported sehwag when he is in a good form, he is great, but if drvid supportes sehweag and asked him to come back to form, dravid sucks.
dont you guys have the shame for these double standards?
RE:LETS TRY YUVRAJ AS CAPTAIN AS HE HAS AN AGGRESSIVE OUTLOOK
by saadhvi narayanan on Jul 14, 2007 01:07 PM
They were not playing politics. They are basically tired in playing. They dont want to play they just want to get money. When coach and captain asked to play they were not because we were not getting players like them. Now we have found player like karthik, dhonim gambhir, and more.

RE:LETS TRY YUVRAJ AS CAPTAIN AS HE HAS AN AGGRESSIVE OUTLOOK
by Upadrasta PardhaSaradhi on Jul 14, 2007 12:56 PM
Then you need a Bull-fighter as a captain.
See how mahela jayavardhane looks and do the captaincy. he looks calm, collective and still gets results because team has good players who plays well as a team.
SL able to win the World Cup under whatmore because they played like a team, listened to the captain/coach and implemented the strategies discussed in the team meetings in a perfect fashion.
Captain/Coach can give you suggestions. Its upto you to take in a positive manner or negative manner.
When Tom Moody challenged Murali and told him that you are becoming old and not good in Fielding, Murali took it as a challenge , improved his fielding and showed to his Coach that he is a world class players who takes suggestion as a suggestion and improves his game.
In the same way, when Greg told Saurav that you are not fit for Test cricket until you changes your game against a short pitch delivery, It created a lot of nonsense and Saurav played all sorts of polititcs instead of improving his own game. Still his weakness is the short pitch stuff and even the bowler like Shahadat Hossain can trouble him with the short pitch stuff.
If the players are not willing to listen and improve, even god cannot help them. Forget about the Coach or captain.
RE:RE:LETS TRY YUVRAJ AS CAPTAIN AS HE HAS AN AGGRESSIVE OUTLOOK
by saadhvi narayanan on Jul 14, 2007 01:01 PM
Indian Captain rule - dont have to perform in batting, dont have to bowl, dont have to field good, only thing is good captain. Saurav was doing that. Indians were winning. Greg tried to introduce more on dada and that's why whold team got collapsed.
RE:LETS TRY YUVRAJ AS CAPTAIN AS HE HAS AN AGGRESSIVE OUTLOOK
by Upadrasta PardhaSaradhi on Jul 14, 2007 01:06 PM
i agree with you. Greg wanted to push the players from that comfort zone of doing anything and then escaping to a zone of self responsibility. so team doesnt like it and stopped playing well and finally kicked Greg out because he wanted to chaneg the system.
Now more and more people wanted to do the same with DRavid.

Good suggestion. This is the time to bring good team. Not to retain old players. They should bring up good team and say good bye to the team. I am not able to IF SACHIN IS NOT GOING TO PLAY in the team. Feels a lot. He created lot of Cricket lovers after Krish Srikanth.

Yes...sachin is our hero. i will say that he is the one who set a finest example of playing ODI cricket. I agree that he is not at his peak but still better than others. sachin is the reason for the popularity of Cricket in India...we will never forget sachin of 1996 WC and offcourse Sharjah...

RE:Make dada captain
by Chandrashekar Naik on Jul 14, 2007 12:56 PM
I think one needs to rethink before commenting on captain dravid. Understand the situation he took over, understand the psych of we indians, and before saying anything else just gpo back and think of the declaration made by dravid when tendulkar was close to make another mark and understand what he keeps ahead i.e the win for the team and not individual records. the country we are would have hailed any such decisions by any other country's captain but when it happened to india's sachin we have no guts to support dravid. if anyone was watching the match and understand cricket then they would surely support dravid for that decision. Dravid to my mind is an aggressive captain. Aggression need not be on the face. See the way his batting has transformed and how much we can depend on him in both forms of the game. See how captaincy has not affected his batting. These are the perfect examples of mental strength. Basically attitude. Accept this. Definitely yuvraj needs to be groomed along with others to become the next possible captain. he has the qualities. Being outspoken in the media is not the criteria though.

very funny people, people wanted him out of the team when he is in the team and now want him in the team.
This is what happens when Tendulkar is made captain. He has no shame to take on captaincy although he has experienced earlier how good a captain he is. Now again he has proved why he is not fit for captain. If Dravid would have been the captain for this match, England lions would have bundled out for 200 odd.
Common Tendulkar, you need not have to prove us that you are the worst captain. That we already know.

These maharastrian buggers don't have shame. Until they are kicked out they would latch on to whatever they can. Imagine if Tendulkar had captained for the 1st test, England would declare at 1000 for 3 after the 2nd day. Pietersen will make fastest double hundred in 95 balls.

Good comments but nothing useful other than blaming the captain. When First time Sachin took the captainship all the team members playing for other team not for us. Now he was asked to play the role, he should get the support from the team members. They were not bowling well. These bowlers can bowl only to our Indian team members not to other team. So it is not problem with sachin, it is in bowlers hand. What is your comments if dravid captains this match. Will you blame captain or bowlers. then you guys will start blaming zaheer and sreesanth.
RE:Tendulkar's captaincy
by saadhvi narayanan on Jul 14, 2007 12:01 PM
Please tell me who is the bowler other than Zaheer. Zaheer Khan - good not performing well S Sreesanth - learning curve S Ganguly - cannot consider a bowler I Sharma,R Powar - new comers S Tendulkar - part time Yuvraj Singh - occasional bowlere
RE:Tendulkar's captaincy

Mr. narayanan, I don't know whether you are watching Indian cricket properly. These were the same bowlers who won matches against Ireland and South Africa. And these are the bowlers who will win us matches against England too under Dravid's captaincy.
RE:RE:Tendulkar's captaincy
by saadhvi narayanan on Jul 14, 2007 12:04 PM
Tell me who is third bowler? Is it sachin? He already got a wicket. When the main bowler not able to take a tail ender wicket then he is not bowler. Sreesanth and Zaheer are part time bowlers.

Looks like you are suffering from "HATE SYNDROM" this is a sickness wherein a person starts thinking he knows everything but in rality, his brains function only 10%, now tell me what happened to the previous game wherein dravid was captain, similar situation.
Our team India has poor record during the last few overs or wickets, we simply cannot get the tail enders out. You are crazy, how can you forget Bangladesh, the same dravid was captain and we could not get Bangladeshi tail enders out.
Simply because you have a mouth dont talk, its not sachin's nor dravid's fault that we are not able to finish off the game faster, its on a given day who plays best wins, sachin and dravid are world class players, its another thing that your favorite dravid has not have had a descent knock say not even a good fifty in the past 30 mathes wheras sachin has been performing,he has performed with bat and ball as well, so why do you say all this crap, know the facts before you talk this bad about a legend, looks like you have nothing better to do

You Guys Sachin captaincy is bad. I am really not able to understand. When there is a poor bowling why the captain is blamed? He himself bowled and got a wicket. It means poor bowling from our team. When there is a poor bowling performance from our team if Dravid captains you guys will not blame him eventhough he is not bowling. SACHIN IS ALWAYS BLAMED FOR ALL. It is his bad luck. Do you think Jayawardene is a very good captain. He is inexperienced but his still team wins because of team spirit, good bowlers and VERY good supporters. Please stop blaming Sachin that's all I can say. Let him play for couple of years.
