Rahul Dravid & Sachin Tendulkar for sake of INDIAN CRICKET should take retirement from International cricket immedietely. Ganguly should come back as a captain and for a fixed period of 1 year. The test sereies was good but the most important thing that Kartik was better then 4 oldies. It means that we have to give chances to yougesters and they should come IN step by step. For test cricket Laxman should leave immediately, Dravid also can think & tendulkar for One more year. Please note that if it is not done this time we can see that sudden retirement of these 4-5 cricketers will leave team India in a zingle and on the other hand once ICL clicks (it is sure), young players will move to it. IS BCCI LISTNING ???

Is removing shirt in safety of dressing room agressiveness?
or facing attacking bowling an agressiveness?
or declaring one self unfit after seeing green top wicket agressiveness?
Saurav Ganguly matches captained 147 Matches won 76 Win percentage 51 % Wins against quality oppositions Aus 4 Eng 7 NZ6 Pak 7 SA 7 SL 6 WI 8 total 46 Win percentage quality oppositions drops to 31 %
Rahul Dravid matches captained 73 Matches won 39 Win percentage 53 % Wins against quality oppositions Aus 1 Eng 6 Pak 5 SA 4 SL 8 WI 8 Total 32 Win percentage quality oppositions drops to 43 % Difference in wins against quality opposition is whopping 12 percentage !!!
Now tell us why and how Saurav Ganguly is better captain than Rahul Dravid? Why this halla Hoo..? Just because some want Saurav as captain? In fact percentage of win against minnows is more in case of Saurav Ganguly and percentage of win against stronger teams is more in case of Dravid.

Dear by on Saurav bashing illegitimate child of Rahul Dravid
My dear illegitimate son of Rahul Dravid !!!Who wanted to know the comparison from you? Are you fathered by Dravid which you Mom knows and Dad does not? You chain snatcher purselifter, who built up the team? Who lifted the spirit of the Indian team, who inducted the whole brand of new generation talents irrespective of their provinces or regions-you father Dravid? Who after his reinduction some what resisted the downfall, your father Dravid? Dont sing in praise of a hesitant and brainless person like Dravid. He wasted the chance of winning the last test. He deprived Tendulkar of an well deserved double century. Go get lost for ever. We need another brave Biranchi Maharana to slap your father Dravid.

the clear visible problem is THE ATTITUDE...they r playing as if they d`nt know any strokes. it is frustrating rather enjoying sachin`s strokeless, fearfull, faulty cricket. youngsters watching him in recent times may learn more how to get out cheaply
