RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Congratulations to INDIAN VICTORY

Dear Mr. Suma Das,

We all know that you from Bangal thats why u support very much for Ganguly and speaking against Dravid.

First of all you should understand one thing, we (indian citizens from other parts of india) give great respect to the talent of Ganguly. Then i dont understand why you Bangali's are so narrow minded and not giving respect to other talented palyers such as sachin and dravid. Also you must understand that during gangly's captaincy, dravid played as a great batsmen in many matches and to win matches so as did sachin.

So i request all bengali friends to keep quiet for the time being. Because dravid has now cptained india only for 61 ODI so far in which, india has won 31 matches and lost 26 matches and no-result 4 matches. This shows Dravid's winning % as 50.82%. In case of Sourav, he captained india for 147 matches, india won 76 matches, lost 66 and no-result in 5 matches. Sourav's winning % as captain is 51.7%. This clearly shows there is not much diifference between them. Hence i request all bengali friends to wait, still Dravid complete captaining 147 matches (as the same number ganguly did) then we can make real comparison and you are having right to blame dravid, if the satistics is really worse at that period.

Moreover, as a captain their batting records are as follows.

Gangyly's batting average in his whole career is 40.99, However his batting average during his captaincy is 38.67.

Dravid's batting average in his whole career is 40.02, However his batting average during his captaincy is 42.51.

Hence once again i request to wait till dravid completes captaining 147 matches.

Hope every one agree on this.
