If one reads this interview, it is clearly understood that Chandu Borde doesnt have any qualms or complaints about Dravid. But the very headline of this interview mis leads every reader. Rediff is a very well known and popular website and there are lot of people who follow cricket and other news through rediff. Why do you folks want to have cheap headlines and catch the eye of the reader. You could have easily had the title as "Dravid: Good and Thinking Captain" The reason you didnt have is because there is nothing exciting about this. But in the process of providing excitment, you tend to mislead and mis-report facts. Well rediff is not the only culprit; All different media like print, tv, etc.. Today's newspapers carry all but news. All news channels ONLY sensitise issues and look for instant publicity. But all these MEDIA JOURNALISTS fail to understand the they dont do want they are supposed to do. I wish they learn from their mistakes and correct them

This is really cheap journalism to portray only one side even though chandu borde mentions lot of positives of Dravid. Rediff is mean, Cheap.. Cheap..

I too agree with this. But it is true that because of cheap head line I was forced to read this interview.

Something needs to be done to these just graduate pass out journalist who merely sit on the desk and distort the content with the approval of the editor and post a senational headline just to have more page hits and in turn revenues for rediff.

Srividya you are so right, in fact i re-read the storie as to find where the headline came from. Media can make or destroy people and they are paid for that depends which side the money is more or else why should they write this about Dravid
