Who is Dravid? That shaky weak timid and complaining type of a person? Always backbencher. Never laughs from heart. This supporter of Dravid is also a very mean minded communally and regionally biased person. She writes a lot on Hindu supremacy and raises anti Muslim slogans in different posts. She is spotted.

Dravid is the great batsman as compare to Ganguly and Sachin who scored the runs in opening slot, Dravid contributed a lot for the victory of India. Dravid performed well when Ganguly was the captain and the credit taken by Ganguly. I think Ganguly and his chela made the plan to make dravid down. This is the reason the India team come out from the world cup.

ganguly is main culprit for WC debacle.
in 2004 team ind out of chapmions trophy in 1st round under the leadership of so called agressvie leader gangster ganguly.
ganguly scored heavily for his sponsers and gifted matchto bangladesh in during WC 2007 and tried to reduce runrate in match against Bagladesh and agaisnt quality bowling atttack of SL he could not stay in creased as per his ad sponsers wish.. Under the great politician ganguly ind had humiliated defeat against kiwis 56 all out lowest of team india score
ganguly and his chelas like dhoni, bajji, zahir khan should be out team
ganguly destroyed team spitrit by votmiting dressing room conflict in front of media after scoring a 100 durig zimb tour. He is promoting groupism, posinong mind and approach of youngsters lile dhoni, yuvraj harbajan by encouraging them to play negative cricket and petty politics against team mates.
Ganguly ugly politics made Sachin to leave captaincy down in order permanently betrayed by ganguly. dravid anchored success to captaincy of ganguly but ganguly betrayed dravid
dalmiay supported ganguly for 5 yrs as godfather and ganguly betrayed dalmiay
ganguly is selfish, opperitunits, politician criketer
TAKE OUT CONTRIBUTION/PERFORMANCE OF DRAVID FROM TESTS AND ODIS WHICH TEAM WON UNDER GANGULY s LEADER SHIP HIS ACHIEVEMENT WILL BE LOWER THAN SACHIN%u2026
1st overseas test series win - Windies 2006 One day series win overseas - Pakistan 2006 One day series win against Lanka - Home 2005/2007 One day series win against England - Home 2006 One day series win against windies - Home 2007. Test series win against lanka - Home 2005-06 1st test win in South Africa - South Africa 2006.
All of it in only 18 months - KUDOS RAHUL DRAVID. A record odi winning of 18 matches by cahsing
statistics always say the truth. Dravid is a good captain whatever he achieved in just 19 months and compated to ganguyly success for 5 yrs dravid did better job in short period of time..

Ireland qualified for one rankings. How about India ? India did not beat Bangla or Sri Lanka. So, please disqualify India from One Day Ranking. Next World Cup, India should play qualifying round with Bermuda, Scotland, Canada, Nepal, UAE. If they win only india should play 2011 world cup. Dear ICC Please put ban india from one day ranking.
Dear Cricketing Fans, hope you all will accept this. Thanks

Just because Indian cricket is going through tough times it doesn't mean that everyone should abandon the ship. The same players have given you guys a lot of good times too, now try sticking it out through the bad, instead of behaving like this. When things are as bad as this , hopefully it can only get better. Keep the faith alive.

In the upcoming series against Bangladesh and Ireland, if the same Tendulkar and Dravid hit 50s or 100s and we thrash these minnows or giant-killers (call them as you please), we fans and media alike would make them heroes. All of us will instantly forget the world cup debacle and compete against one another in singing praises about the same team that we're now criticising. Thaz the irony! We make heroes out of nothing and zeroes also out of nothing. England, Australia, West Indies, NewZealand, South Africa doesn't react our way. Blue Billions are amazing.

Maybe if you keep your expectations real you will not be so dissapointed in the future. There is a prevalent culture of negativity in most South Asians, and sadly Indians are no exception, so you lost some games, move on, look ahead. Such self-defeating criticism is not going to help anyone, it's very depressing, I would much rather look ahead. Why not use this ouster from the Cup as a wake-up call, the level of competition elsewhere is alot higher and the Indians simply need to raise their game (especially at the domestic level).
There is no dearth of talent here, they are just mentally not tough enough to stand the pressure, and I think the public is partly at fault here, no where else in the world do you see the kind of pressure put on cricketers as we do in India. think about it. If the Indians lose then they break a BILLION (very violent) hearts, The Australians play with abandon because a game is just a game to them. Nobody needs this kind of stress, so chill brothers.

Sorry folks dont necessarily agree with you. 1 performance on the plate doesnt make u a good or a bad captain. You should look at the conditions, players available to the existing captain, form of the players. By that logic Mohammad Azharuddin was a wonderful captain. He got us many victories. And dont forget the following :
1st overseas test series win - Windies 2006 One day series win overseas - Pakistan 2006 One day series win against Lanka - Home 2005/2007 One day series win against England - Home 2006 One day series win against windies - Home 2007. Test series win against lanka - Home 2005-06 1st test win in South Africa - South Africa 2006.
All of it in only 18 months - KUDOS RAHUL DRAVID.
Thats what statistics dont always say the truth. Dravid is a good captain and will improve only from here on. Guys get ready to win in Bangladesh and England and all u folks will mince ur words

take out l Dravid%u2019s contributions and performance during the ganguly cpatiancy tenure? tThen ganguly is big ZEROOOOOOOOOOganguly is root cause of problem he promoted groupism he played negative cricket and had a big role in defeat becoz of him only whole nation is mourning today that india as exited from world cup. he is a selfish traitorhe betrayed dalmiay, sachin and dravid gnaguly and his gang should be out of team India
dravid is good captain he started winning 18 odis in chasing and but 2 superstars alwayes make sure team lost and dravid termed as not good captain. dravid is playing for team cause, thatwhy still ahead of these 2 superstars in ICC ranking in oids as well as test. both ex captains are now in news to gain public symptathy team ind early exit is b'cuz of some senior players lack of commitment, negative cricket and 2 ex cpatain's dirty politics in dressing room. Instead of supporting captain, both ex captain undermined his ability and when it comes to take blame for defeat never come forward. Even sachin's outburtst in media was not justified b'czu ndtv report never mentioned a single player name in particular dravid accepted responsiblity but when ganguly was captain he neveraccepted responsiblitly for defeat. When team lost press brief were done by dravid as VC. ricky ponting team is winning game b'cuz no players goes agaisnt team or captain or promote groupism Dravid played under captaincy of sahcin and ganguly, he gave 100% commitment to team, socred runs when team was required against strong bowling attacks under pressure, building partnerships and stayed at wkt to finish match. Dravod dod promote groupism or HE TRUESTED SENIOR PLYERS WILL SUPPORT HIM BUT BACK FIRED BY superstars like sachin bajji, ganguly dhoni, zahirkhan and agrakar,,,, Under tim mody SL is playing superb cricket None of senior player /ex captain m envied mahila%u2019s his promotion as captain From the outset they gave unstinting support. they remained hungry to perform and did not rely on reputation or popular support to protect their places. ganguly's success as captain is b'czu of contributions of dravid sachin laxman kumble and sewag NOT CERTIANLY HIS LEADERSHIP QUALITIES LIEK takign out shirt, making opposition captain wait for toss, yelling at bowlers for loose balls, making funny face on field, argueing umpers etc.. DRAVID ANCHORED SUCCESS FOR GANGULY AS CAPTAIN DRAVID IS PILLAR FOR GANGULY SUCCESS IN ODIS AND TEST AS SUCCSSFUL CAPTAIN BUT SELFISH OPPERTUNIST GANGULY BETRYED DALMIAY, DRAVID SACHIN
