he led Team India very well on the England tour as well. Didn't we win the Test series on the English soil under him after two decades? Can there be a better proof of his leadership qualities? http://www.rediff.com/cricket/2007/sep/17borde.htm?zcc=rl

Dravid's leadership innovative, top-class India vs England: Third Test August 17, 2007
A win is a win, and while there will be plenty who felt that a '2-0' win sounds better than a '1-0' win, the fact that a series that looked difficult to save after the Lords Test was won. http://in.sports.yahoo.com/sportz/sunil-gavaskar-17082007.html http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.a spx?id=85192095-94fe-483c-8133-06586a6f5071&&IsCricket=true&Headline=Reined in%2c skipper wants to break free
WORLDCUP DEBACLE- not dravid%u2019s captaincy It was all about attitude, feels BCCI NEW DELHI, "There are five players in the team whose attitude needs to be sorted out," the official stressed. When asked to name the players, he suggested names like Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly, Zaheer Khan, Harbhajan Singh and Ajit Agarkar. http://worldcup.indiatimes.com/It_was_all_about_attitude_feels_BCCI/articleshow/1839620.cms

What price the Indian captaincy, indeed? Is it worth being constantly under scrutiny, every move dissected, every call discussed threadbare, every decision debated upon, every act questioned? http://www.deccanherald.com/Content/Sep202007/sportscene20070919

GHreat job by the selectors it was a dream and always felt that captainship to be given to fresh blood young gun who r more innovatuve and dare enough to take serious decisions in cruch situation HATSS OFF to BCCI selection committee and I expect DHONI to be the best captain of INDIA for more than 10 yrs
Its very unforeseen by the selectors to make Dhoni as a captain of Indian team.He is a excellent asset for india at the moment as a keeper as well as middle order batsmen.But if he is made captain things will not be the same.That too when there are many senior captains are still playing in the team.When senior players are not ready to take captaincy ,Dhoni is made a scapegoat now.He may not have authority in controlling the team of senior players thats bound to happen soon.Selectors very well know who is capable of taking responsibility as captain.But its indeed Cricket ploitics in India which is keeping that man out of selection.He is Saurav ganguly who is the only eligible person in the current indian team to take the dare steps to make india a good team.Dhoni as a player is good now but its very uncertain that he is made a captain now when he is becoming a solid batsmen in the middle order.Once again selectors shows that they are bunch of jokers sitting at the helm.

dhoni wil suvive if he has godfather in bcci or he has dance to tunes of 2 senior superstar cricketers one has politicain influence and other one has 2 godfathers otherwise he will be next bakar ppl say dravid runaway b'cuz of pak and aussie series then time of india reported that vengsarkar approched sachin and ganguly for odi captaincy both have declined offer why nobody calls them coward why both did not accept offer?
Both presidents of BCCI and selection committee are idiot, stupid, bogus guys. That is why they have selected a Dhoni as captain of Indian Cricket Team. Idiot peoples should leave the official posts first. Instead of building a good cricket team they are spoiling the rest.
This is totally unacceptable to make Dhoni as indian captain...he won't deserve to be captain of india..look at this performace in recent matches and moreover how can he lead a team which contains more than 4-5 senior players....well i would say BCCI as Big Chors and Cheaters in India...such a stupidity shown by BCCI...i don't understand why they are not showing fingure towards Ganguly...he is such a great captain who took india to world cup final...may be he did mistakes but it doesn't mean that he won't deserve as indian captain? this all political drama by BCCI...god saves indian cricket...these guys are jealous of ICL...i think when ICL comes into activation then these guys will realise...oh..god save the indian cricket...
