we never knew what BCCI wanted from its captain but it appears that Dravid could deliver things the way BCCI wanted him to deliver, who knows about the contractual secrecy.. Good
Dear Friends, I have the opportunity to practise along with Test players before they went on to become cap for india. I was under coach Acherakar before sachin tendulakr the days and my experience says that the moments the players where selected to play for india,they where no where to be seen on the ground for net practise. Also after one foreign tour the so called players got a car/jeep and wher driving across the city in their newly attained status of players rather than net practise. I have seen Sandeep Patil coming to net practiseeven when he was playing for the country .That was the committment from old test players.Do you want me to name the players name i can do so, but will be exposed in the public domain. I have high regards for Sandeep patil due to his professional approach to cricket even today and ways to change with time.

My friend it was not of practise, but the place where i used to stay and the school where Achrekar used to coach out of way as i had to change a bus and train to reach it and it was very difficult in the years 1979-1981. With due respect to Achrekar, he had been to my residence requesting my parents to send me to school where he was coaching.

Ask Ganguly to stay in W.Indies and play for bangladesh. India lost to Bangladesh only because of Ganguly, we have to make an enquiry why he got out along with Yuvraj when they are playing together. there is every possibility of match fixing ganguly with bangladesh, he love bangladesh than india. that's why when rest of india fuming against the indian players, kolkata given a warm reception to ganguly. he was a part of indian team which lost or part of bangladesh team which won against india.

I understand that BDesh is likely to give the award Banga Bandhu (something like our Bharat Ratna) to Ganguly, for his invaluable contribution BDesh cricket. He is the biggest hero there ahead of their own local cricketers

ganguly is politician he used dalmiay a fellow bangali, when dalmiya had bcci power and backstabbed him when he lost bcci power dravid anchoed the ganguly's success as captaind but ganguly ditched him and betrayed the team ganguly is selfish, politicina he is promoting groupism in ind dressing room ganguly wasted more balls than runs he scored poor fielding and poor running wkt and unwilling to take singles cost more runs to team also created pressure on batsman on other side He did not bother to try and hold an easy catch during agarkar%u2019s bowling 60 runs in 130 balls how it can help a team cause?? Ganguly had one stage for having batted through nearly 11 overs to make a mere 7 runs. Yuvraj Scored 47 runs in 10 overs India Scored 191 in 50 overs Ganguly Scored 66 runs in 21 overs wasted more balls than runs he scored., Yuvraj Scored 47 runs in 10 overs Rest of team scored 50 in 19 overs Against burmada Ganguly scored 89 in 114 balls wasted 25 balls that is around 4.6 runs per over... compare it to the indian teams average of 8.26 Ganguly was struggling while batting against burmuda, and got 3 lifes ganguly in whole faced 266 balls nearly 50 overs and make only 162 runs, the how much pressure built on incoming bats man doesn't matter india wins or Lose Ganguly RETURN WAS HYPED BY MEDIA BUT HE WAS NOT IN TEAM UNIFROM ALSO AND HE DID NOT ARRIVE WITH TEAM?? The picute which tev channel shown after ind defeat in Sl . all players were in tears but no sight of ganguly dhoni and harbajan

sachin is finished and should gracefully quit when people still have just a little bit of liking for him. Though he was a world-beater in his hey-days, currently, he is the worst batter in the world. On his current form, even Zimbabwe will not select him for their A team or B team. He has become a liability to Indian team and to Dravid

Please tell me a replacement..... none of the new guys tried have shown promise.... guys are taken for average of 45 in domestic cricket.... that itself is sad....the average in domestic cricket should be 60-70 that would be a reason to select..... Suresh Raina, Kaif Robin, Gautam all are tried..... Sachin has lot to offer and the best thing is he has no air he practices more than everybody including the youngsters... Just to replace anyone is not good.....and only critizising him is not a solution
Dravid is Best Captain Ganguly is experienced Man Sachin is best batsman in the world Sehwag is swashbukler Yuvraj is match winner Dhoni is big hitter Uthppa is good young opener Zaheer is good fast bowler Munap is impressive bowler Agarkar is wicket taker Kumble is experienced spinner Harbhajan is turbanator Dinesh Karhik is young maturity player Sreesanth is young fast bowler
ok all are good players then why we threw out in first round. So please carefully use the words "best","ability","Performance","great","talent" before the indian cricket player names.
I totally disagree with the BCCI to reinstate Dravid as a captain. He has flopped as a captain. A captain%u2019s job has to take the team forward and not backwards. a CAPTAIN NEEDS TO HAVE THE CONFIDANCE OF HIS PLAYER, if he cant get the that then he should have morally resigned from his post. If you cant inspire a team then why the hell are you there at that post. Atleast when Ganguly was there, he always took the full responsibility of whatever the team does, whether they lose or they win. Atleast he was always there for his team & more importantly team was there to support him. Dravid is complete failure in this department too. Captain means a leader, if you can lead to team of 11 individuals, I don%u2019t think you are fit for the job. I hate seeing Dravid back as a captain. If the Management was looking to get the young blood in the team, wouldn't it be better to have Yuvraj Singh as the captain and the all the senior players to assist him.
My Suggestion
I feels te BCCI should have made Ganguly as the captain for a certain period of time (say 1 year) and would have specially instructed him tat he needs to grow Yuvraj Singh as the next captain. And BCCI should have kept a eye on to it to see if that is happening. and THEN GANGULY WOULD HAVE GRACEFULLY RETIRE MAKING way for Yuvraj Singh to take the country forward from there.

Sudeep, this was the PLAN!!! and You said it correctly, Did u see how Yuvi got out? running for a single when there was no run in it, and Saurav, he played just to get to WC squad and change the game plan and to ensure that India is not reaching Super 8.
You can't win matches when all the members are not with the captain. Most of the matches won by India under saurav was because of Dravid's great knock and selfless attitude by way of keeping wickets and batting like a champion!!!

sreekumar - I totally agree with you in the point that Dravid play very well while Ganguly was captain. We have no doubt that Dravid is a very good batsman. But the problem is he is not a good captain. He is simply a 'YESMAN', earlier for Chappell and now for BCCI.
Dravid wants to remain by any means it seems. Moreover it is clear that maximum players wants to see Sachin as captain.

Agreed. India is going to loose odi series 2-1 against Bangladesh and in England ,it will be a white wash.But after win against Ireland,Dravid will be again praised and will continue as captain. Ganguly is the best captain so far india had.Even Gavaskar comes after him as a captain. I dnt know why Dravid himself is continuing as a captain.This shows how mean and cunnig he is. I still dont understand why Ganguly was sacked from captainicy!!!

Dravid always a team player and always supported his captain and have stood for the team. Remember those 4 years where he acted as a wicket keeper even though he is not a regular keeper. He took the pain for the benefit of the team. So called great Sachin refused and still refusing to play in the middle order and crying that I want to play only as an opener and crying that my attitude was questioned and so on%u2026
Captai never asked Sachin always get out inside edge onto the pad and clean bowled in a match where he needs to perform.
Captain never asked Saurav to go over the top and play a silly shot where the need of the hour is play sensibly and play more over and get a good century and make the India to win.
Captain never asked Yuvraj to go for a silly run where there is no run and get out.
Captain never asked Dhoni to play back to a ball where you need to come forward and play.
Captain never asked agarkar to bowl full tosses in the final overs so that guys like Arnold and Vas can hit him for fours and sixers.
Captain never asked Harbhajan to concentrate on bowling his 10 overs for only 40 and don%u2019t take any wickets.
Captain never asked Saurav to drop the catch where as Murali in the same catch held on to a very difficult catch. senior players played deliberately negative cricket and betrayed the team Captain never said that. Players, have some Responsibility playing for your country

if the senior players go against the captain and team cause why don't u blame same players not captain Chappelll hold the mirror of dirty politics in ind cricket.Nobody speaks against the 2 superstars like ganguly and sachin ppl blame dravid is not inspriraional captain? But when players only grouped against coach and captain why do't blame the players????
sachin is legendary cricketer and great batsman But nobody is bigger than game or team. Being VC he failed with bat . ganguly and sachin have support of other playes and both had success to kick out chappell out of ind dressing room. but cric fans do not require chappell's report for the failure of WC debacle. the early exit of team from WC is b'czu of some players deliberately played the negative cricket and gifted match to bangadesh and SL .chappelll tried push the senior players from comfort zone and treated every body alike and equalthe body language, negative cricket played by some senior players is proof that they did not support dravid as captain. Even knowing all these players are not with him and ganguly is fighting from backstage for captaincy, and vengsarkar, sharad pawar, ravishastri all are with sachin dravid accepted the captaincy. also he should be aware one more defeat means it may be end of his odi career. Dravid gave 100% team when he was playing under sachin , ganguly . He did not promote gropism or never betrayed his teammates. He trusted that seniors like ganguly sachin bajii will support him. Instead may players played petty politics, let down team. It is loss for dravid, then it is loss for ganguly and sachin also. There is no guarantee that sachin amd ganguly can play next WC,

Mr.Rahul Dravid is a person who could not anle to motivate players .he never discussed with any bowler didn't show any new tricks ,new ideas during WC.I don't think BCCI Cricket team will able to show good performane in bangladesh tour they likely to loose in this tour also.,so guys get ready for another BCCI Cricket Teqams disater parformance in nxt tour
