I remember one of the first matches when Dravid was made captain, he asked anil kumble to bowl 4th over against Afridi, it was then and there i told to myself that Indian think tank has gone to drains. Believe me defending 190 against Bangladesh was achievable. We lost because of poor captaincy, i hope people remember the funny slip placements and introduction of the 5th bowler well after the 30th over, sachin sehwag came very late. There are hundreds of such examples where Dravid simply F#@$ed up. He is a great player but not all greats become great captains. He is a great orthodox cricketer and he captains the same way, no adaptation to situations. He is not agressive and does not back players enough, obviously the team disintegrates in such situations. Players start to play for their own good rather than a team's cause. People are blaming ganguly for scoring selfishly but tell me, if he started accelerating and got out early, wouldn't he be dropped immediately by Mr. Chappel. These insecurities killed our 2007 campaign, and the team managemnt especially Dravid and Chappel are to be blamed for it. I saw it coming in 2005, i don't understand how Mr. Missed it, ah probably he was busy with his agriculture ministry. That reminds me .... shouldn't we abandon this honorary sytem and make crucial positions like President and Selectors as Paid positions so these people can be held accountable for debacles....
