It was only Dravid who laged lone battle against srilanka when these heroes failed miserably. He could have gone 3rd or 4th down against bermuda to score a century if he was selfish and if he had to act like ganguly or tendulkar. but he proved that he was a team man by giving chance to Tendulkar, yuvraj and sehwag by promoting them them in batting order. rahul dravis has been indias most consistent batsman since the 1999 world cup......its mot me....but the records who are saying tht........ , odi batting average in home all the batsman are better then their overall averages.
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% Under tim mody SL is playing superb cricket None of senior player /ex captain m envied mahila%u2019s his promotion as captain From the outset they gave unstinting support. they remained hungry to perform 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.
