U like struts/spring frame work of our technology.if u inject any one.Bloods co lour will change.u like china wall.rahul darvid not fearing Raina . Any others are hidden.later talk.
The problem with the Indian team is that our selectors are not able to drop some top names even if they are temporarily out of form. So Chappell would have ruffled many feathers by trying to do that .. Look at Ponting - the moment he realized he was not contributing he stepped out of the Mumbai Indians Eleven... How many Indian stars did that even when we lost a series to England in Engaland and in India ..

some of the Guys Chappell were trying to send off was Zaheer, Harbajan and Laxman. They were at their best then. The only reason behind the pressure from Chappell was these players were supporting Ganguly who were messing with chappell then.
I feel Dravid is right because he is, has been and will be right to not comment. Sachin being an Indian citizen may have freedom to talk or write whatever he wants or whatever he could not do when he hung to continue playing for India. It could be his thoughts or imaginations what Sachin must have wrote. It makes no difference who thinks Rahul Dravid is far more better than this news creater Sachin.

Dravid is at receiving End. He did good what he should have to do now. If he agreed this, he is indirectly confessing as he was also a culprit because he was the Captain then. His Duty is to make the dress room comfortable. Many players of that era are complaining as that was the worst Dressing Room in their carer . So the captain is also responsible as same the coach.
And if he deny this, other player will come more hard and in last he will have to agree this.
not remember when parliament session starts and end. i want only holidays. Now i think 2007 world cup blunder again this topic change my negligence over parliament issue.

Yes, the name of the book could have been chosen after good thought. It shows a touch of arrogance. Especially for bharat ratna recepient

SO you want to change the Title as Playing it as Team's Way? Then the book should be full of Back Stabbing. He carriedhis career without taking any shortcuts, without back stabbing and without compromising to bookies etc.
whatever you want to say, you can say. But millions will say, he played the Game with Honesty, Dignity, Humility and also with dedication.

If you are standing behind a wall, you wont able to know, whats happening on the other side. And if you are an ignorant, then you will never know. Unfortunately Mr.Vaidya is standing on the said side from many months.
Sachin says "Greg did not respect Dravid', but goes on to praise Ganguli saying that player of Ganguli's class did not need anybody's favour to be in Indian team'. The truth is that during Greg's tenure Ganguly was a burdon to the team and he was in the team because of his past reputation and influence. Greg was correct in dropping Ganguli.Even Shah rukh khan dropped him from his team.. Dravid was class apart in batting and also as human being. Sachin is not fair in dealing with Dravid. He is biased.

Sachin's book will also be childish like him. Probably, he is still upset about Dravid declaring in Multan test when Sachin was on 194. The then coach John Wright has written in his book that during tea it was discussed that the batsmen need to hurry up. Despite this, Sachin was playing scratchy and over cautious just to reach his 200. This shows that Sachin never had the team's interest in mind and was more worried about his personal statistics. Also, while Dravid was always flexible to bat anywhere in the team's interest, Sachin would never compromise from his number 4 position because batting becomes much easier when Dravid blunts the fast bowlers.

also he was angry if he was not given to open the innings in one dayers...the position which has the maximum potential to score 100s...especially in one dayers

India saw only one gentleman cricketer in Rahul Dravid. Sachin may be a good player but craved for publicity. Most of the senior players wanted to dominate over coach and over rule him while coaching. Naturally they supported Sachin's statement. Indian players always want soft coaches like Fletcher who can dance to their tunes but Greg was strict. I feel Sachin has unnecessarily dragged Dravid's name in controversy.

Rahul Dravid is always away from controversies with his decent behaviour. He only contributes to the team's requirement. Even in his batting he takes different positions depending on the team's requirements. He is always in shadow under Tendulkar and Ganguly.Majority of Ganguly's success abroad is due to the contribution of Dravid be it tests or onedayers
Re: Re: Sachin not too kind to Dravid
by Sunil Vaidya on Nov 05, 2014 10:52 AM
absolutely correct....most of ganguly's successes have been due to dravid and laxman not sachin...under ganguly captaincy dravid averaged 73.31 runs in tests...

show me one great captain in modern cricket who was the best batsman in the team. all great captain builds a team under which all performs to the best. no doubt dravid did. bcos he is a great batsman but very poor captain.

u r sick n communal (region biased). if u think it is easy to perform under internal politics from coach directly supported by board, then u r leaving in a fool's paradise. it is chappel who had come to india with one single point agenda that is destroy Team India who were direct threat to Australia's supremacy at that time. and the only way to do so he required to demolish the very root of Team India i.e. ganguly. he succeded beacause we are a country of Mirzafar(traitors). look at u. u r not serious about chappel's wrong doing but very concerned about ur regional interest as dravid belongs to karnataka & sachin & rahul from other states. shame on u.

Sachin has hit back at the right time. The idiot Greg should have been kicked out before world cup 2007. Dravid always wanted to be a good boy and lacked the courage to protest, which Saurav had. No wonder that he is not making any positive comment on Sachin's book.
Re: Re: Re: Sachin not too kind to Dravid
by ACHINTA ROY on Nov 05, 2014 01:50 PM
Dravid was a great batsman and his contributions are immortal. But Ganguly can not be compared with Dravid because he was an attacking left handed stroke maker and the two differed in class and technique. But there is no point ignoring his contribution to Indian cricket while praising Dravid. Both were great by their own rights.

And Sri Rama Chandra Raoji as a Captain, Ganguly is the most successful Indian Batsman.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Sachin not too kind to Dravid
by srirama chandra rao on Nov 05, 2014 02:10 PM
Ganguly is a great captain no doubt about it. Both Dravid and Laxman contributed to the success of the team while Ganguly was making use of all these players to the optimum. Captain requires that competency
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Sachin not too kind to Dravid
by ACHINTA ROY on Nov 05, 2014 02:55 PM
Sri Rama Chandra Raoji just a small addition : Ganguly is the all time greatest left handed batsman India has ever produced. This many people forget. When he was a so called burden, he was kicked out by Greg and Rahul remained silent. But Rahul forgot that when Rahul was indeed a burden for the prolific one day team Ganguly retained him as a wicketkeeper and did not throw him out appreciating his potentials to perform and come back. This is the difference. When Laxman requested Ganguly not to project him as an opener, he immediately complied with. But the idiot, Greg asked him to sit in his house when the Very Very Special of Indian Cricket, requested Greg to put him in the middle order. Here again is another difference and another reason for Laxman's stupendous success during Ganguly era

Problem is that you are unable to digest his success due to some reason or the other. It hardly matters. Fact remains fact.
