Man!! Are you from Indian Institute of Statistics management !!!!!
But one forgets that there are lots of aspects beyond statistics, where Dravid even cant be called a good captain leave aside being a GREAT one. The best captain of all times India had was Saurav. You are comparing what Saurav did in five years to what Dravid did in 2. But its a simple fact that when Ganguly took over it was a team and country shattered of confidence for the matchfixing era that preceded. Saurav's great ness cant be measured by his no. of wins as a captain, it took him years to bring up, groom what we now hail as TEAM INDIA. He fought all odds, to get some of the now so called superstars [read Sehwag, Yuvi, Bhajji, Zaheer. etc] their status. He even kept Dravid in one day scheme of things by utilising him as a wicket keeper[if not for his slow batting then, he would have been long dropped from the ODI side] Agreed that team was filled with stars like Sachin, Laxman, Sehwag, Dravid but see how well he captained a team with seniors without much dissent and divide, he had the command and aggression of a true leader. He is an enigma as rightly said by Geoff Boycott in Times now.
Now look at Dravid, he took over a team that was readymade by Saurav and went on a winning spree, when thing started falling apart, Dravid was clueless how to handle the situation and pressure. Remember most wins were in initial days, when he had the readymade team and much experiments of the trio[Dravid, Chappel and More had not happened] Remember most wins were in the subcontinent, none in tougher conditions such as Aus, SA, WI etc It all started from WI tour where India lost 4-1. Then Kualalumpur,then Champions trophy at HOME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! then SA, total disaster, all losses and nature of losses???????? could not even bat 40 overs with so called visionary team of the TRIO. Both captain and coach were clueless.
If he cannot manage a team which has senior players in it, then he doesnt deserve that chair, naturally a person who is taller in stature and abilities, is going to command more respect amongst teammates. He kept saurav out saying his presence has bad influence on the zide, but it was the same Dada's entry that brought life to the team in South Africa. Dravid's win percentage just doesnt matter, what matters is that he couldnt handle crisis, he was utter failure, so was GReG... They are not the solutions to India's woes, going to Saurav would be a step back now, lets look at the future, a new young experienced captain is must, maybe YUVI fits the bill best, and he must be supported by Seniors, rest who dont must be shown the way. He must be given 4 yrs to learn and mature as a captain and head the contingent in 2011.
