His teammates failed completely and RCB lost most of matches. Except dravid, pravin kumar and zahir khan all other 8 players are not performing and not shown even 10% commitment, kallis, misbah (except 1 mtch, kohli, C white all failed with bat in crucial games. Zahir N P Kumar took wkts but both gave too many runs and bowled too many extra runs.Against DDRs first10 overs 100 runs, 70 runs by zahir and P kumar..it is not captain but other big should be sacked..
Rahul dravid needs no to t prove anything to anybody Dravid has scored 328 runs in 12 matches, at a strike rate of 129.13 and an average of 29.81 . When he was declared unfit for odi he scored 10ks runs batting in 1 to no 8 position and most successful odi captain Highest catch holder for India in both forms of game He is best in test format of cricket. He is highest contributor(78%) for the victory in test cricket as a batsman ,more worth contribution than gavaskar and 10dulkar. His contribution to Ganguly success as test captain is a record in game history
Dravid was nominated and his name shortlisted for ICC captain of yr during 1st yr of his captaincy.Which ultimately went M Jayavardhane. (ICC award nomination and selection is done by 30 Intl' cric experts not by ind media or players sponsers/chelas or ind politicians influence) Dravid proved he is player can fit any format of game and bat at any NO .. against all odds and can score runs.. Dravid never got acclodes whatever the amount he deserved

yes correct. He was a valuable player in history but not in present. Now he can only be a valuable farmer. so he must go to a field, but not a Cricket field, instead a paddy field. And as far as Ganguly is concern, he is a fit candidate for the post of a cook, it is well known fact in Kolkata that saurav can cook machher jhol (fish curry) better than a five star cook. So it is my suggestion to both of this history player to leave cricket forever and join their new job at the earlest.

Dravid should not have accepted for 20/20 and spoil his name. He is legend of cricket and not for the cricket crackers

Dravid proved he is player can fit any format of game and bat at any NO .. against all odds and can score runs.. Dravid never got acclodes whatever the amount he deserved for his performance. Ind cric experts and media always biased to dravid captain batsman fielder and player dravid was blamed many times for the reasons he is responsible for. Inc ex cric experts criticized dravid irrespective he performed or not, team won matches under his captaincy. But Mr. Cool dependable Wall Dravid always stands tall with 3 ICC awards, 3times selected for ICC test team, 2 times for icc odi team , played on behalf of WXI .. this honour did not happen to even G8 10drlulkar also. A legend have more respect in int%u2019l cricketing fretarnity
One should have the spirit and guts to allow players like Kumble , Jaffer, Zaheer Khan when they have been rejected in the one day team. Even todate Dravid has shown he can easily adapt to any form of cricket. Dhoni always favoured Dravid but for the presence of Ganguly, is unable to say anything. Ganguly fared well in the home series so also several other players but on the Australian tour Tendulkar, Laxman and Dravid scored better. This has been his case throught . He got MOM against DC and RC and wanted the selectors to ook into his performance. In this way he damagedthe career of several players . The last being Venugopal Rao who batted brilliantly in the middle order but was sent to open and got sidelined. There are several several instances but for the media and the politicians from Bengal no other country would have retained him for so long.

This vsgiri is particularly obnoxious. I dont know where he keeps all his hatred. In his stomach maybe :P
I am not a fan of ganguly. But I think among all indian captains he is the best as captain and as performer also. He got 2 MOM awards no other captain has got that (may be shewag). ven Sachin, Dravid, Yuvraj all are flop till now.The thing KKR lacked is quality players. No captain can win a match with the current KKR team. They have no gayle no mccullam half shoiab and alone david hussey. I feel on local players saha, shukla and dinda done good job.. but now a days pakistani batsmen are useless. I hv my respect for dhoni too .. he is also in trouble after loosing quality players. Except Dhoni and ganguly no indian captains are good. They are winning because of a strong team. and Warne has his full team almost to choose from.

swarna, ur statement has no meaning, first u r telling that kkr is unable to win because they are missing quality players like maccullam etc it is same with other teams also right? teams which are losing the matches are missing quality players or unluck. there is absolutely no clarity in ur statement. just u want to support ganguly u r speaking....veena khanna
