exactly what "ability as captain" is mr. chauhan talking of? india's loss in the WC was an aberration he says.....what about the 4-0 drubbing in SA and the 4-1 walloping in the Windies??? aren't we talking of too many "aberrations" ???????

ganguly success is b'cuz of hardwork done by dravid,laxman kumble and sachin. NOT B'CUZ OF LEADERSHIP QULAITY OR AGRESSION. HE took the credit for victory and team work while dravid shared credit for the victory with his team mates. dravid accepted defeat o his responsiblilty in front of media. Had ganuly ever accepted himself defeat as captain when ind lost druing ganguly 's tenue as captain dravid was doing press briefs. WC debacle is totla failure not b'cuz dravid's captaincy 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

Ms bhat..pl be logical.. U gather good information about cricket, perhaps many of us dont know it. But you reveal wrong information from the information u gather to fight.. u r real looser like chamcha dravid. its due to dravid, we lost WC. This chamcha was silent after returning india. But he spoke to media when it comes about product endorstment..it shows how selfish he is..he is money minded person ..doesnt have any quality to lead the team.. its due to pressure from the south lobby he is selected captain again. it seems a lamb will lead a team of young /mature tigers

if senior playes can get negative motivation / inspiration to group against captain, and playe deliberarly negative circket and gift the match to Bangla and SL what captain can do for taht??? A horse can be taken to water force to drink but sallowing or vomitting water will be done by horse it is senior players betryed the team and captain also no cpatin can't win matches when all the members are not with the captain. Most of the matches won by India under ganguly was because of Dravid's great knock and selfless attitude by way of keeping wickets and batting like a champion!!! At any nos. but dravid trusted seniors like sachin, yuvraj ganguly zahir and bajji but backfired by these palyers
Ya dravid proved himslef so india lost. Chetan chauhan only in his interview on news channel after bangladesh match pointed out some captaincy flaws of dravid. Why are some websites trying to glorify dravid and chappel god knows. The duo were loosers and have caused harm to indian cricket like anything

Dravid has failed no two minds on that. Chappel has resigned and gone!! Now who played during the world cup to make India win?? TENDULKAR [With two 5star resturants- Sachin and Tendulkars- Tax Evasions - Custom Duty Evasion; Advertisemnt Crores] or Yuvraj or Dhoni or Agarkar or Kumble or Even dada played after long time but not making a score that would help India win?? The whole team is responsible collectively and not just Dravid and Chappel. Dravid must resign as Captain to retain respect.

WHAT DRAVID IS DOING IN YOUR TEAM? WHERE US YUVRAJ? WHY NO PLACE FOR MANOJ TEWARI...WHERE IS R.R.BOSE?
yes they deserve to earn huge money through endorsements and not to play honestly cricket on behalf of country. All the players either ex or present only bother about their own interests least thinking of winning game. They play or not they get by way of fees and huge ad fees. We should think of new players who can really contribute with their performance and show to the old & well experienced players how to win a game and name to the country.
At present Sourav Ganguly is fit for captain of Indian cricket team , not Dravid. I think Sourv is most powerful to take any decision in the field, not Dravid. No doubt Dravid is most powerful and dependable batsman but not as captain.

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 bangla that 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.

Why not as a non playing captain ? He can direct from outside.
Y is Krish Srikkanth told the story now...is because
1. Dravid is in similar situation now.
2.Dravid has done what Krish Srikkant refused to do that is "SELL THE TEAM"
WHO IS THE CORE OF THE TEAM...SEHWAG YUVRAJ SACHIN BHAJJI DHONI GANGULY ZAHEER...ITS BEEN FOR A WHILE NOW......IF WE HEAR YOUNGER TEAM AND EXPERIENCED CAPTAIN.....WHAT I GET IT FROM IS DRAVID SOLD THE TEAM....JUST TO SAVE HIS CAPTAINCY .......DRAVID DIDNT SCORE TOO WELL IN THE WORLD CUP.....AND HIS CAPTAINCY WAS PATHETIC....SO IF HE SURVIVES...I THINK HE IS A GREAT DIPLOMAT....WE ARE PROUD OF WHAT KRISH SRIKKANT DIDNT DO AT THAT TIME....AND ASHAMED OF WHAT DRAVID DID TODAY.......TIME WILL TELL...BECAUSE BCCI DOESNT HAVE ANY FRIENDS.....THEY ONLY KNOW ONE THING THATS MONEY....
YUVRAJ BHAJJI ZAHEER SEHWAG.....STOOD BY GANGULY WHEN HE WAS DROPPED...
YUVRAJ SUPPORTED SACHIN....AFTER HIS COMMENTS....
I DONT SEE ANY ONE DOING IT FOR DRAVID......WHEN HE WILL GET IN TROUBLE AND HE WILL SOON GET IN TROUBLE.....
IF BCCI AND MR DRAVID HAVE THE BALLS....
THEN...JUST FOR SAKE OF EXPERIMENTAION AND GIVING THE YOUNG BRIGADE A CHANCE....
REST....
GANGULY
SACHIN
SEHWAG
BHAJJI
YUVRAJ
DHONI
ZAHEER
AND GET THE GREATS AS PER CHAPPEL....RAINA AND EVERYONE DRAVID WANTS....DRAVID IS THE CAPTAIN....ONLY IF DRAVID HAVE ENOUGH GUTTS...TAKE THIS YOUNG TEAM AND GO TO BANGLADESH.....IT WILL BE EVEN....BANGLADESH HAVE YOUNG TEAM...MOST UNDER 20....SO IT WILL BE A EVEN COMPETITION AND WE HAVE A GREAT ADVANTAGE OF HAVING WALL AND THE MOST ASTUTE CAPTAIN IN THE WORLD......

IN NDTV poll 80% cricketers told dravid continue to as captain where in ndtv programme ganguly paid ageent jadeja and siddu scrreams on top voice anti dravid and pro ganguly on daily basis
Cricnext.com Sanyjah 100% supporte of ganguly
Should Rahul Dravid be replaced as the captain of the Indian team?
And the answer was in the negative with 86 per cent saying he should not be removed with only nine per cent saying that he should be replaced.
The rest five per cent did not have any opinion.
Indian express pool morethan 50% ppl voted for dravid..
dravid wihot any meida chelas, politician support and dadagiri is still surviaing b'cuz of honest hardwork and performance on the field
Even KNOWING very well that ravishashstri, vengi, sharad pawar all sachin boys and ganguly gang is grouped onceagain and playeing dirty politics in dressing room and cricket filed, still he accepted captaincy...one more defeat will maight end his odi careers Then HOW DO CALL HIM AS PATHATIC???
HE IS FAR BATERR CRICKERER AND COMMITED PLAYERS THAN SO CALLED SUPERSTARS WHO BPLAY BACK STAGE POLITICS AND FIGHT IN DRESSING ROOM RATHER THAN ON FILED.....

The percentage of votes you are talking about are the people sitting in their arm chair in an AC and just voting through their expensivee mobile phone. Do not even know what it takes to be a cricketer and to be match fit.
90% of Indian so called cricket fans do not even know ABC of cricket. Including you suman bhatt...

VINAY - This person is writng script after script in all website supporting Dravid but the fact is except BCCI who like to have a 'YESMAN' captain , no one support Dravid as captain.
However Dravid is a very good batsman..no doubt about that. Also we are not denying that fact that Dravid played very well while Ganguly was captain.

I repeat ADVANCE CONGRATS to Bangladesh TIGERS for their fortchoming gifted victory over the young blooded INDIAN RATS & CATS. BCCI is readying the coffin for Indian Cricket.
Just imagine Sachin is out of the team from Bangladesh tour, and we manage to loose the series then who will the media blame for defeat. After all Sachin is the only soft target. If we win its team performance and if we loose Sachin should retire.
We should play Sachin for all matches, especially when we know we are going to loose. At least other players will not keep any burden and will play without any tensions.

Nobody in bcci has guts to criticise sachin or remove him from the team. only he will be out if he gets injured and for him it is not necessay to go throught fitness test.
ravishasstri, vengi, sharad pawar all sachin supporters and he is calling the shots from backstage.he played brilliently in WC 2003 but this time even being VC he failed with bat
IN NDTV report siad sources closed to Chappell and and it was said senior players ...
there was no mention of sachin name but his outburst was surprising and as per toi report his statemetn is drafted by on of senior officer of SAATCHI and SAATCHI COM. CHAPPELL / JAGDALE'S REPORT IS CHANGED AS PER INSTRUCTIONS OF one of bcci official from mumbai
