Stop criticise Dravid. Instead Back him up he needs support from Indians. Pls don't simply criticise him only bcus you like ganguly. Undoubtly everybody knows that ganguly is a world class player. I have often seen Dravid, Ganguly and Tendulker discussing the team plans. So ganguly being a senior, player and probabily the best bet for India in the world cup 2007, can give his valuable advice to Dravid. Always keep in mind dravid has played a great role, through his steady and consistent innings, in making ganguly the best captain India has ever seen.So let us stop blaming the captain. Instead let us support him and let us back dravid decision to retain sehwag. Now it for sehwag to pay returns to his captain.Sure, he will try all his best to bring pride to the man who has supported him. Sure, he will explode, just a matter of one good innings, and beware of him, he is highly explosive. Let us wait and see. So just start supporting our captain.

Dear Yatheen,
You are absolutely right Mr. Yatheen. In all the recent matches, we can see that three great sons of indian cricket Dravid, Sachin & Gangly are discussing each other and I am sure they are playing as a unit and no difference in between them.
But only our bengal friends are not agreeing this and very often critisises dravid and sachin.
I have given a detailed reply to Mr. Suman Dass, who often critisising dravid. Please go throgh the same and given your comments on reply to him.
I agree with you, I too am a big supporter of Dravid. The only thing I am going to point out is that Dravid is missing the so called "JOSH", not sure if it has to do with the current stress, but if Dravid wants to make an impact on the team, he may have to show some enthu. Lately, his body language is not the best, and that does reflect on his performance and the team's performance.

Dear Amit,
Please see my reply to Suman Das, who frequently speaks against dravid. The rocords show that dravid's batting avg has increased as captain when comparing with his overrall carreer average. It clearly shows captainship does not spoil his game in anyway.
Hope you will agree if you go through my reply given to Suman Das.

Mr. Nagarajan,
Yes, I did read your reply. Both Dravid and Ganguly have different styles when talking about leaderships. Rahul is not far behind Ganguly when comparing the stats. Once again, what I saw in Ganguly was the HUNGER, the Enthu, the DESIRE to win. Lately, I do not see the same from Rahul.
Great work by the team in Goa. Catches win Matches, superb work by Ganguly. I think that surely did set the tempo for the distruction for SL innings. Good work by Dravid and Dhoni. Dhoni has played some matured innings last few matches.

I do agree with u Amit. When Ganguly was there we were sure of an enthusiastic fight. But comparing the records of ganguly and Dravid as captain we see that there is not much difference. That means they are equally potent to lead the side. But that "JOSH" thing is really missing. Those " war cries ", the "LORD's Balcony moons", the boiling spirit and all those aggressions on and off the field may not be seen again. Dravid is also equally good as a batsman he is better, but I really miss those days. I really hope that Dravid gives us the greatest as well as our much awaited dream--THE CUP.
