Dravid is not a 'captain material'
by Amrita Pal on Mar 26, 2007 11:45 AM

I absolutely disagree with the author regarding the fact that 'Dravid needs a second chance'. Well why do we still need to sympathasize with Dravid and Chappel? It has been proved beyond doubt that what lacked totally in the Indian team was team spirit and motivation. India didn't play as a group. It's high time to rise to the occasion and totally change the team-spirit. Since it's now clear that the likes of Dravid and Sachin are NOT CAPTAIN MATERIAL, let us PLEASE stop our sympathy towards them and move forward by giving Sourav a chance to captain the team cause so far he has been the most successful leader and his leadership skills have been already proven. Why don't India realize that Sachin needs a break to practise hard and come back? Also, it is obvious now that Greg Chappel has well succeeded in spoiling and messing up with the team created by John Wright and Sourav in 2003. At least we reached the final, didn't we? But if we STILL continue under Dravid's and Chappel's leadership, then we'll be considered to be Minnows, that's for sure. And one more thing, Kiran More shouldn't interfere with selection. It now shows very well how he was also instrumental in spoiling Indian Cricket.
