India need better captain
by Saikat on Nov 09, 2006 03:22 PM

Undoubtedly we need better captain who have guts to reply back and who can talk with strong teams with eye-eye contact. Unfortunately Rahul is a great cricketer but not a standard captain. In cricket, captain can play a more import role on the filed than coach or other supporting staffs. Some time to make changes in the planned strategy, captain has to take strong & quick decisions on the field, but even on that moment Rahul love to follow the lessons of cricket grammatical books. What Ganguly did at LORDS to reply back to Flintoff, it was history and no one can expect it from Rahul. To become world champion India need that kind of passion from the captain. At the time of Ganguly, India atlaest reach upto Final. We won Pakistan series at Pakisthan, bt WI at WI, bt Aus in Aus. Even when selectors were thinking to eliminate Rahul from ODI team, Ganguly fought for Rahuls' palce. Bcoz Ganguly realized the importance of Rahul as a cricketer. Ganguly never encourage regional based team selection procedures. These made Ganguly most successful captain of India and one of the best captains in this world.

FINALY WE WANT TEAM INDIA, NOT TEAM CHAPPEL. This may not be possible under Rahul.
