RE:Lara is Greatest Batsman
by Suman Bhat on Apr 15, 2007 11:36 AM

Stat tells different story

JG Wright      130      68      56&nbs p;     6/0      52.30
GS Chappell      62      32      27&nb sp;     3/0      51.61
       &n bsp;                    & nbsp; 
      
SC Ganguly             146      76      65 &nbs p;    5      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. HE TRUESTED SENIOR PLYERS WILL SUPPORT HIM BUT BACK FIRED BY superstars like sachin bajji, ganguly dhoni, zahirkhan and agrakar,,,,
Many ppl blame chappell but chappell as coach was recommended by ganguly and time mody was suggested by dravid.
Under tim mody SL is playing superb cricket Jayawardene has been lucky with his older players. None of them envied his promotion. From the outset they gave unstinting support. No less importantly they remained hungry, and did not rely on reputation or popular support to protect their places. ganguly's success as captain is b'czu of contributions of dravid sachin laxman kumble and sewag NOT CERTIANLY HIS LEADERSHIP QUALITIES LIEK takign out shirt, making opposition captain wait for toss, yelling at bowlers for loose balls, making funny face on field, argueing umpers etc..
DRAVID ANCHORED SUCCESS FOR GANGULY AS CAPTAIN DRAVID IS PILLAR FOR GANGULY SUCCESS IN ODIS AND TEST AS SUCCSSFUL CAPTAIN
BUT SELFISH OPPERTUNIST GANGULY BETRYED DALMIAY, DRAVID SACHIN
DRAVID is still ranked xii in ICC odi ranking AND HAD WON 3 ICC AWARDS.
bucz icc ranking done on basis of batsman performance on the ground not by ind politician or media magagers of so called ind superstar palyers. As captain dravid odi batting average is better than his normal aveage and w2 sper starts ganguly and sachin are played many odis opening and had chance to face more balls. ganguly and sachin are considered more taltened odi batsman and natural stroke makers while dravid was once considered not fit for odis.honest hard work brings rewards not the dirty dressing room politics. dravid's odi career best example for that.
