RE:Dravid is the best
by Suman Bhat on May 02, 2007 10:36 AM

dravid captaincy is good like ganguly's it is senior players did not support him druing WC
read article in cricinfo By S rajesh see the analysis of batsman. it is not bolwers or captain batsman failed to deliver when team required. many players like ganguly, sachin harbajan, zahir undermine dravid's captaincy. ganguly batting only for self he socred runs consistantly but never tried to accelerate run rate or rotate strike always savinghis wkt if team win or loss did not matter he scored runs but he gave more runs to opposition b'cuz of poor fielding. cost team some more runs of poor running between wkt. and sachin being VC failed with bat. Body language of 2 ex captains in 3 matches as if they were playing a practice match. Harbajan never bolwed to his natural stength. b'cuz he thought his cpatian is ganguly but herbajan latest achievement is that he was informed by ICC twice by his wrong action. dhoni is failed in WI and SA he scored runs only in dead ptices of subcontinent. Dinesh karthck is better than dhoni he opened innings and won 20 -20 match in SA . can bat any no....
and since munaf was in playig XI, dravid couldnot play sreesant. After sachin's return from injury from during DLF cup onwards, sachin was doing bowling 6-8 overs regularly and there is no place for 5th bowler. Cheif selector insistied that shachin is also used as bowler. till the DLF cup team won many odis and test without gangulys and tendulkars. stat proved dravid is doing equally good job in a short period of time.Same SL team was beat in india under dravid's captaincy 6-1 without ganguly in team. who told zahir khan to bowl to so many wide and loose balls in crucial matches? He abused sreesant ,If senior players are deliberatly irrospinsible why blaem captain
many players do not want to sit in dressing even if out of form..
selection is influenced by some senior players. If sachin insisted agarkar
If players had problem with chappell or dravid they should have approched the BCCI rather than calling shots from back stage.
both ganguly and sachin are in race for captaincy now, defeat in WC is deliberate attempt to prove dravid not a good captain and ganguly's record as WC captain did not harm.
Dravid gave 100 % commitment when he played under ganguly and sachin and he trusted senior players but ditched by superstars..
the odi winning diff is only 1% when compared dravid's succes ( not even 2yrs) with ganguly's success of 5 yrs.
Even when ganguly was captain team lost in 1st WC during champions trophy in england 2004 team did win all matches under ganguly 's captaicny he had also many humiliated defeats agaisnt kiwis, aussies, pakistan, WI and team ind did not beat/win SA in SA that did not happened during ganguly's captaincy also
under ganguly captaincy team ind played 9 traingular series only 2 won and 5 lost and 2 drawn and team played only in dlf cup and lost it under dravid's captaincy
team had many humiliated defeat when ganguly was captain. Except Aus no other team has consistancy in winning.
Overall, dravid is doing a better job as captain than ganguly and his batting did not afface by captaincy, while ganguly was non performing captain inlate 2-3 yrs of his captiancy. but survived b'cuz of dalmialys' influence.
