'Dravid has proved his ability as a captain'
by PARTHA BISWAS on Apr 10, 2007 12:50 PM

Firstly, I protest. Chetan Chouhan was never the finest Opening Batsman. He, in his days, used to fumble & tremble, was a mere of shadow of Sunny. So, his assessment would definitely be like his batting, a mere 25 after a struggle of six hours on a placid wicket.

Now, come to "Dravid' ability as a Captain" - Dravid is basically a good workman or follower not a good leader. He cannot take bold decisions one after another. If he takes such decision once (calling back Sachin), does not have the courage or conviction to repeat the same. May be his typical middle-class background is responsible for this. U see, leaders are born not created, such as, Imran Khan, Kapil Dev, Yan Chappel, Clive Lloyd - they are all born leaders.

Rahul was not, is not and cannot be a good leader 'cause his personality, language, tone & modulation of Voice, body language are not like a leader. He is not simply imposing enough.
