I appreciate people who copy my message, I thank them all with folded hands. Dravid is a meek and timid person. He is a very jealous and ambitious guy. He used to flatter Ganguly for securing his place in the team in spite of his very slow and powerless cricket. He hardly raised his bat or hit a ball for the fear of getting out. He was there in the team due to strong Suth plus Mumbai lobby support and patronage of Ganguly. Ganguly even kept him in the team as wicket keeper batsman and saved the career of Dravid. Dravid once said that on the off side play Ganguly is only second to God. Ganguly never never said anything or did anything against Dravid or Tendulkar or any player of the team. But when Ganguly was dropped none of the senior players stood beside him. Remember how dravid reacted when anybody in thge media asked for inclusion of Ganguly in the team. His jaws stiffened and his mouth became dry. He said that it was upto the Selection Committee to select players and then vehemently opposed selection of Ganuly in the selection committee meeting along with his godfather Chappel. This shameless spineless apology of a human being however through all his weight behind Sehwag in spite of his repeated failures. This is called double standard or dwicharita. He can never be a successful captain. Not a single player in the team would respect such a hyppocrite. More and more humiliation is awaited for the Indian team as long as selectors keep Dravid as the captain.

take a break we all should support cricket and not stars(sachin,ganguly or dravid) there are many capable guys and ganguly was a failure as batsman when he was captain but dravid was in great form. tell me one series ganguly won when dravid was out of form. be realistic

Mahesh give us a break yaar !!! supporting Dravid is not a crime but don't say that ganguly didn't win matches for India. Sachin and Ganguly (Not Dravid !!!) are the only 2 players who have won matches for India singlehandedly. to some extent Sehwag and yuvraj too. Dravid fans... u r too much :)

Well said, Neil. It was amusing to see Dravid went on to bless Sehwag (I wish I had recorded it). How stupid and parochial a captain can be?. We were eliminated from WC due to his inefficiency in handling the team and stubborn nature. Keeping three very promising youngsters Irfan Pathan, Sreesanth and Dinesh Karthik to the benches and playing the repeated failures is beyond anyone's comprehension.

Dravid and capabilities? Dravid and Captain?? It is the biggest joke. A good Captain extracts the best from his players. A good captain can read the pitch well, can handle the bowlers well and can set his field well. Dravid has none of these capacities. He is a nervous and complaining guy. He made everybody in the team feel insecure by selecting and dropping players at will and changing their batting orders frequently. He destroyed Pathan and Harbhajan. He stabbed Ganguly repeatedly out of his jealousy and envy. He must go immediately, otherwise he would retire as the most unsuccessful and hated captain ever. He has no good image in the media and people's mind, because he is not a good person. If Ganguly is Julius Caesar then Dravid is Marcus Junius Brutus waiting to be taken care of by Mark Antony, Yuvraj Singh. Dravid would be such a hated figure when he finishes that nobody would keep his son's name as Rahul.
