To all those people who bash Dravid in this forum:
I wonder if all these people really watched the match.
What can Dravid do if Ganguly gets run out like a bu*foon - I dont know what happened to him all of sudden?? An otherwise lazy c*nt was blindly charging down the pitch for a non existing couple and then failed to stretch while grounding the bat.
What's Dravid's fault if a batsman of Tendulkar's calibre struggle like a rookie?
What could Dravid have done if Yuvraj & Gambhir din't bother to trouble the scorers?
What would Dravid have done if the clumsy Dhoni decided that he would the Reqd RR from 6.5 to 9 an over. Watching Dhoni bat for 19 off 60 balls was such a pain...At one stage he was 5 of 40 balls...Why do people who mind Dravid scoring 12 off 96 dont see this. Dhoni's elevation to stardom, I must say, is the biggest disgrace to Indian cricket. I saw only one batsman apart from Karthik who had an intent to win. Dravid's six off Monty and his improvisation against Dimitry showed he was the lone warrior in a battle that was lost in the first 15 overs.
And how can Saurav / Sachin make good captains if they cant be selfless players at best?

I agree with mpc.The bulk of the team just did not deliver.England played well.Look at Bell.Here we have maestros struggling.The conditions were no different.Saurav,Sachin all failed and Dhoni was a disgrace.Look at Yuvraj's expansive drive.Does he think he is acting in an ad?Look at Gambhir with his drive of Anderson?The team was lousy not Dravid.Dravid baiters cannot hide this fact anymore.

In short - Right from openers to 11th man, everyone contributed for yesterday's defeat.

mpc ,I say Dravid is weak , bcox of the very poor decisions he take on the field .. Who the hell will give agarkar the last over ..He was giving lots of Runs and what the hell plan was that to complete Zaheers and RP overs by 49 ..Do u think it as a very good Captaincy ..
And Do u think Taking Gambhir over Utaapa was a good decision
