I have been reading all this Pro-Ganguly, Anti-Dravid comments. Normally happens whenever the team loses. Under Dravid's captaincy we won 17 in a row. Where were his detractors then? Ganguly I agree was an excellent motivator, but a poor strategist on the field and ran out of ideas most of the time which is the reason why he was always biting his nails on the field. This team I am sure will end up as world beaters. Be patient with them.They are on the right track. Not to forget they are managed by professionals- Chappel, Dravid, Tendulkar, Sehwag forming part of the think tank.
our players need practice, so bcci should start domestic crcket for all indian players and who play good cricket,those players are able to be in team india.and if they dont play good then dont give them chance till they dont give good performance. and dhoni should start opning in all matches. dhoni,shawag,uthppa,ganguly,gmbhir,dravid,sachin,ramesh power,raina,harbhajn,pathan md more.
As cricket is the game of mind.Every indian should believe that they are going to be world champion. In last season when srilanka came to india Indin team played like champs.Dhoni,Yuvraj,Pathan were in excellent in form. Same team was there in ICC Champions trophy.Now what happened to this team. Against SL strategy was as follows
opening - Sehwag & Tendulkar wkt of sehwag - next was Pathan/Dhoni/Yuvraj wkt of Sachin - next was dravid/kaif/raina
that means a good hitter with a defending stroke player.
This strategy was not maintained in ICC champions Trophy.

hai to indian team,nothing wrong in becoming a loser,dravid you need to be to be agressive not to be crestfallen to work with innovation,aggression,enthusiasm,and tinge of togetherness of evolved strategy to keep winning the matches with dedication.
First ofall we need to stick to our basis our is an one of the world best batting lineup so we have to go with it 7 batsman and 4 blowers this is our strenght. And our team is also falling short of experience we need have some experience players in the team it will help our team in westindies where the pitches are slow. We need a player like Laxman who can bat through the innings. Ofcourse we can beat any team in the world.
I think the indian has the capacity to be the World Champions. There is no doubt about the talent although there are a few improvement areas like the bowling and fielding. Also the Indian Team is lacking commitment. And last but not the least point i would like to say is that concentrate more on cricket rather than doing adds. All The Best Team India!!!!
Hi Dravid, Iam sorry to say that You can never step in the shoes of sourav,Don't try to go with the wave of chappell and the unworthy selection commission.You are one of the most respectable persons in the indian cricket and also in the world cricket. Don't you know that you are not eligible to lead our indian team.See in terms of we even have sachin,who is unanimously the best player,why is he not stepping the shoes of captaincy?He knows waht we expect from him.He is trying to fulfill the expectations on him and so he is the best and holds the confidence of the audience and he is prayed for not trying the unnecessary mesh.Learn from him. Who the hell is Greg?I know that he is one of the few players who hold the good avg as a batsman.Still he doesn't know to make a team. He or you didn't make this team.So that you need be proud of this team.Kaif,Yuvi,Sehwag,Bhajji,Irfan, Zaheer,Dhoni became the team members in sourav's captaincy only. Go back to your place.Enjoy the fame that you are the great wall of indian team.Or else you'll become prey for Greg's irresponsible decisions and you'll even feel that this saying suits you" Dhobi ka kuttha na ghar ka na ghat ka"
Ganguly deserved to be dropped from the team for the poor performance of the team & his own form in the last year of his ca[ptaincy. However Ganguly was only part of the problem. The whole team had done poorly which included most of the members of the current team.The only solution that I can think off is that there has to be a whole sale change in the team.
It's sad that so many people don't realise that Media is using cricket just to grow their business..this message board itself is an example.
Put out a sensational question and everyone will hang on to it and you make money..High time public realise this and get out of cricket arguments in the media..
