RE:RE:RE:RE:Drop Dravid from Captaincy
by Uttamkumar Samanta on Feb 12, 2007 10:03 AM

Yes, Dhoni is #3 in ICC ranking. His average
and strike rate is better than Dravid. Then
why Dravid comes before Dhoni in the batting
order ?!
Another thing is Dravid's run average people
account. what is about his strike rate? That
is always lower than any top order batsmen. If opponent
team scores more than 300, and Dravid's strike
rate is 74-76%, then who will score rest of the
runs (where team needs at least one run per
ball). Other than Nagpur ODI where he batted in
slog over in the first innings, Dravid is
totally failed in ODI (donot consider his run average only). So, his attitude should be
like Ricky Pinting (or Smith or Lara), otherwise
Selectors (if he himself does not initiate)
should remove him from ODI captaincy.
