captiancy myth
by Suman Bhat on Apr 17, 2007 01:50 PM

Stat tells different story

JG Wright 130      68      56      6/0 & nbsp;    52.30
GS Chappel 62      32      27      3/0 &n bsp;    51.61
              &nbs p;               
      ; 
SC Ganguly146      76      65      5&n bsp;     52.05%
R Dravid 65      33       28       4 50.77%
The difference of odi wnnin average is only 1% when compared to succss of ganguly & john AND dravid and chappell Ganguly had advantage of leading team for maximu nos of matches and 5 yr lengthier period and 31 wins against weaker team dravid only captian for 16 months and difference in winning average is only 1.22%

include the match which were either cancelled r not played

Ganguli- 76 from 141 = 53.90%

Dravid - 33 from 61 =54.09%

J/Wright-68 from 124= 54.83%

Chappel-32 from 59=54.23%

and dravid and cahppell did not even completed 2 yrs
IN NDTV big cricket poll survey %u2013 which was conducted by among 15 state criciket associations 80% ppl voted for dravid to retain captaincy
In survey of IBNCNN
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.
Indian Express voting poll more 50% voted dravid for captaincy.
Drvid has support of gavaskr, kapildev, sanidpatil, snajay manjrekar, Aunshman gaikead, kiran more , chetan chouhan, GR vishwanath, S venkat rahbavan etc%u2026
Dravid played under captaincy of sahcin and ganguly, he gave 100% commitment to team, socred runs when team was required against strong bowling attacks under pressure, building partnerships and stayed at wkt to finish match. Dravod dod promote groupism or HE TRUESTED SENIOR PLYERS WILL SUPPORT HIM BUT BACK FIRED BY superstars like sachin bajji, ganguly dhoni, zahirkhan and agrakar,,,,
It was only Dravid who laged lone battle against srilanka when these heroes failed miserably. He could have gone 3rd or 4th down against bermuda to score a century if he was selfish and if he had to act like ganguly or tendulkar. but he proved that he was a team man by giving chance to Tendulkar, yuvraj and sehwag by promoting them them in batting order. rahul dravis has been indias most consistent batsman since the 1999 world cup......its mot me....but the records who are saying tht........
, odi batting average in home all the batsman are better then their overall averages.

Overall------Home-----Away----Diff. B/W
-------------------Average-----Averg-----Averg

Sachin 44.05------46.27------34.85------9.15
Ganguly 41.36------46.67------36.16-----5.20
Shewag-31.62------33.59------2 9.71------1.91
Dravid 40.01------45.33------42.10----- -2.09
