RE:BCCI SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FIRST
by Rahul Roy on Apr 15, 2007 04:27 PM

Have you seen the strike-rate of the other Indian players on that day? Ganguly's stike rate was much better than DRAVID or Sachin. Also check the latest SA Vs Bangladesh match and the strike rate of the big hitters.

India could not even play 50 overs against Bangladesh. Ganguly was playing the anchor role and if he stayed till the end we would have reached 220 at least.

Main problem was the decision of Dravid to bat first and even seeing the condition he could find out what would be a defendable score on that track. Kept on sending note to hit sixes that%u2019s how Ganguly got out.

192 was still defendable if Mr. Know it all Dravid should have showed a better common sense captaincy and asked Munaf to start the bowling. He should have used Sachin /Sehwag / Yuvraj much earlier in the match after seeing the Bangladeshi bowlers. Could have asked for Ganguly%u2019s suggestion instead of going with his own big ego.

First ask the motivation of our captain, he must be grilled by anti corruption sleuths questioning his intentions. How come kept on playing super flop Sehwag on SA tour ? Also how come we kept on playing non-scoring Uthappa for continuous 3 matches in important tournament like WC?

Why we were out of Champions trophy in the first round as well? We had a young team, world most successful & intelligent Captain Mr.Rahul Dravid and the best strategist Guru Greg Chappell? Same for the ODIs in SA, we only started wining after Ganguly joined and started scoring some runs and uplift the moral of the team.
