Worst decision to make Dravid Captain !!
by Anurag Srivastava on Apr 10, 2007 11:22 PM

The way Dravid captained India in last 1 year (rather slightly non-friendly wickets) very bad. It was clear that newly laid wickets in Westindies in start of the season requires batsman having grafting capability not for so called stroke player (likes of Dhoni, Utthapa and co.). He dropped Kaif, Laxman kind of player and persisted with Utthapa in all three matches of world cup. Has anybody in this forum had faith of Utthapa succeeding with only one stroke (hit every ball) in seaming wickets of initial overs ? But Dravid persisted .. and result is clear. Steve Waugh was dropped in One-day after Australia failed to qualify for 2002 tri-series final once. A failed captain (worst result) can never build a fresh team. I think BCCI politicians have played a safe trick here. BCCI really pathetic..
