Reason of Dravid's Resign:He didn't give a chance to Sachin & DADA to play T20. Now as in other teams all the senior players are playing..Sachin & DADA made his A** fry.That's why dravid resigned.... Still DADA is the best option.But he wont play long.This time india should follow SA the way they made smith captain..YUVI/DHONI is a better option..

True! he kept a gun on the head of both Sachin and Ganguly and forced them to not play 20-20! Do you think before you say something Mr.Ray or are you a 5 year old kid who believes wht some god damn channel(times now in this case) says??

what the hell r u saying....as a player dravid is far superior than ganguly...... hands down......dravid was a really good captain as good as ganguly... u can't compare them...... Man becoz of this thinking..... have you seen rivalry between Red Sox and Yankees.....that doesn't mean Boston and Newyork people hate each other.....grow up people.....
I Would say its best step ever taken by Dravid. He is a good player and he need not do to prove it, He is a Wall of India but being a Caption he Lost allmost this image he was not able to consantrate his batting due to captainy. we never seen in fild him as verry active Captain. I WISH now He well be back in good form after this decison

Spineless who ?? I cant remember once when ganaguly stood up to some good fast bowling. I always saw fear in his eyes when he played quality fast bowling esp shoaib. Ya I agree hes great against some not so great attacks. Its easy to remove your shirt and dance when somebody else did the job for you.
Guys pls don;t consider me a Bengali, as I am not.
He is the most successfull captian of India & he has all the quality for it too. He is undoubtedly a better captian than Rahul & even Sachin.
He was just a prey of bad politics. As it is already proven that Indian team needs him as a good player & opener, then when there is no captian available, why not make him captian again. He is more aggressive & looks like a captian in the field as well infornt of media & the whole world.

Dont talk nonsense. Remember the ex-captain you are referring to contributed much more than Dravid as a captain, but due to dirtiest of the dirty politics played by an arrogant foreigner and an ex-cartoon cricketer turned selector, fully supported by Dravid - one of the greatest cricketers our country was treated in the worst possible manner one could ever imagine. This man Dravid was enjoying then as a foreigner's lap dog. As the master is gone this spineless fellow could not bear the hot seat for long. Though it is good for Indian Cricket had it been earlier it would have been better.
