Please don't take to hearts. Please see today's Greg Chappel's statment about Senior players mafia (if it is true)and Yuvraj's run out against SL. If you still believe Dravid at fault,I am sorry I will discuss any more about this subject.We should not bring their families into this,probaly the family is forced accomplice in his earnings.
Acting , playing everything is separate from personal life. One should never interfior in other person's personal life. We should at least maintain few standerds as human beings even if media doesn't maintain.Its better if we stick to cricket and do not look into their bedroom.

I totally agree with you here!! In many countries (UK especially), media behave like stray dogs!! They feel, since they are public figures - Let's go and get him/her on the hook & try to blow up!!
Unfortunately, this kinda behavior has caught up even in India too. Is this because of colonial thing?
I call upon to the media to be more responsible - remember your family would be out on the roads too!!!
He is reported to have stayed in the Hotel Taj Green Cove. They don't have a private beach? This doesn't look like a private beach to me. Trust me, if I were there, I would be looking back at him and not pointing to somewhere in the sea. If those women, whose backs are showing, are with him, where is the kid?
Even if this is Rahul Dravid, what do people want him to do? Sulk at home? Don't doctors prescribe to go to a Beach or Hill Stations to the sick or the depressed? Can't he go there for introspection? And is he supposed to wear a business suit on the beach? It is better to go shirtless on a beach than in the public view (think 'Dada').
Talking about 'Dada', the moment he comes back into the team you start reading news of the 'divided' team. 'Senior' players acting like mafia. He was kicked out amidst the same reports. Why is that? You 'dada' fanatics, Why is that?

Keep coming with your conspiracy theories and I will keep coming with mine. I 'hail' from none of the players' state and you would see a lot more of me if I were paid.
I am so disappointed about India's debacle and I come here to see people divided [language/ region/caste) in their disappointment too.
Read any of my posts on any board of rediff (news, cricket or movies) and you will see that I speak up only when rubbish is going on. (I know you won't but still wish you would before putting any allegations). Unfotunately, lot more comments on Dravid's beach picture than a finance article.
Why do you think Chappell is lying? If 'leaking rumors is the name of the game, why didn't any other 'camp' leak a refute yet? Specially from Ganguly who made his own personal ads on television, thanking his supporters, as if people go to see only his game. Maybe he is right. Some idiots only focus on their Gods. Not many care for the entire team.
If the news that ANY layer was dividing/distracting/bullying other team players, directly or indirectly, or playing politics, than seriously, THAT PLAYER MUST GO, even if he makes most run in one odd game. That is a bigger offense than losing your form for some time.
I know many Indian cricketers in the past have done this. Throwing their wicket if the captain didn't send him in the number that he wanted to go.

i agree with you R K. No matter what Ganguly says publicly, he will surely have a major grudge against Greg chappel. and it is also possible considering the aggressive person he is that he wants to get back at him.
while this is speculation, it is also possible that he deliberately batted slowly against Bangladesh. i mean its difficult to imagine a batsman of ganguly's stature scoring 60 in 130 balls against Bangladesh.
What a personality! When the rest of India is remorseful our dearest captain is enjoying his holidays! When he has made the rest of Indian hopes naked, he is holding his towel!Keep doing that DRAVID but take retirement beforehand.

Come out with a name? why? You think "Dan Lewis" name is so recogniazble that scribbling it on rediff makes a god-damn difference?
If you think posting your name (which in all probability is fake) is brave, then maybe you should go all the way and publish your phone number, address, your bank account numbers and your credit card numbers as well. Going by your logic that should really make you 'Gladiatoral' and greatest (moron) blogger ever!

He owns his irresponsibility, timidity and insensitivity in keeping all our hopes down. World cup is more of National and less of personal. Your comments remember me the famous story: When Rome was burning, Nero was playing violin. Because we never bought his personal time. Right? We simply relied upon an opportunistic ape. High time-better be matured.

Moron Dan Lewis, Dravid should not go to the beach because India did badly at the WC?
Besides, BCCI is not run by the govt. It is a private organization which is not even registered in India. So if you call it a national shame, it is your problem!
If a private company like Infosys or Wipro do badly and their shares fall, is it a National shame?

Don't compare burning Rome to a player spending time on a Beach. He is not throwing a Party there. He is just there with his family for a possible quiet time. For all we know, he might be in the worst mental state right now. What do you want him to do? Commit suicide? A game is more important to you than another human being?
Like I said in original reply, get desensitized to papparazzi.

If he had an aorta of sincerity for his country he would have given up his captaincy status. It is fine he could not deliver it. He is a human being and he used to be a great player as well. We do not want to loose him. He can service better if he throws up his captaincy admitting his inability to lead the team. Instead holding his position up for the captaincy is an absolute stupidity. Again, it tells that he is more power savvy and less democratic. Look at what Inzy did for Pakistanis.

Passing judgement without a trial. How democratic is that? One tournament doesn't make a captain. If every captain started resigning after every defeat, it would be a bigger chaos.
RE:RE:Shameless brazen

Your argument sounds like: THE OPERATION IS SUCCESSFUL BUT THE PATIENT IS DEAD. We dont want that kind of ultramodern and technically superb capabilities that can anticipate many-a-things but in reality produce NUTS. Okay.. How many times one would get a chance in a world cup? Come on, one failure kills your chance.....one needs that kind of mental back up to go to the world cup..He failed to produce good things....you must remember that some people were asked to resign eventually even after the team reached the final....If that was the premise then I can not accept anything that does not go even close to that situation....I think Dravid was given ample opportunities to excel as captain. He has already made it a chaos.The World cup was a testimony of DRAVIDs incapability.I AM THINKING OF THE FUTURE THAT IS WHY I AM WORRIED.

So Dan Lewis, you are "THINKING OF THE FUTURE"....hmmm ok. So someone made you think of the future
As they say in Hindi..tere aukaat na bhool. You can think about Iraqi future but it is not going to make one ounce of difference to anyone.
So dont think, do! Here are some ideas from bloggers on rediff- a. not buying products endorsed by cricketers b. not spending money on cricket (tickets etc) c. not visiting (indian) cricket sites (which we all know you are doing) d. get out there and start playing cricket e. get out to the stadiums when Ranji and school tournaments are going on and encourage lesser known players and teams who show promise.
If you have to think, think about what you can do rather than what BCCI will do and what will happen to Indian cricket. Dont assume you are somebody- the great Dan Lewis woh everyone will listen to.

No, because he is still holding up the position. I have no grudge if he takes a nap in the beach. I was perhaps little bit provocative when I first saw the picture and as you suggested that might be because of the paparazzi. Nevertheless, I still feel he can give a lot to India as a batsman but not as a captain.
