Stupidity
by Nilesh Jain on Sep 18, 2007 08:51 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

What a stupid decision in the history of Indian cricket. 3 world class captains will play under a captain who is struggling with his own individual performance and having negligible experience of captainship. Also it looks more stupid when we are going to play the series against number one cricket team of the world who has won 3 world cups in row. This is one of a sad joke where we can%u2019t even laugh, because after all %u201Cit%u2019s our team and our nation%u201D!

Dravid was a 'darpok' captain which shoowed in his decision to not give follow on to England. he was afraid of losing to Pak and Aussies so thought it better to keep his RECORD intact by running away while it was good !

you never know, Dhoni might succeed somehow though chances are low. Also one should consider the possibility of the BCCI itself fixing a few victories for India :)

Yeah this is a game of guessing. My guess is even RP Singh can be successful.
