My Question.....if INDIA ONLY WON UNDER GANGULY BECAUSE OF DRAVID'S CONTRIBUTION...THEN I SUPPOSE NOONE IS STOPPING DRAVID TO PERFORM WHEN HE IS CAPTAIN AND WIN MATCHES FOIR INDIA LIKE HE DID WHEN GANGULY WAS CAPTAIN.....
IT WAS NOT DRAVID...IT WAS A FIGHTING UNIT UNDER GANGULY....
RESULTS SPEAK FOR ITSELF.
WORLD CUP FINALISTS....UNDER GANGULY WORLD CUP DISASTER .....UNDER DRAVID
CHAMPIONSTROPHY WINNER, FINALIST & SEMI FINALIST UNDER GANGULY
CHAMPIONSTROPHY DISASTER AT HOME....IS ASHAME..UNDER DRAVID...
EXAMPLE OF POOR CAPTAINCY.... DRAVID SHIFTED TENDULKAR TO MIDDLE ORDER...BUT HE WANTED TO OPEN....
GANGULY ALLOWED TENDULKAR TO OPEN IN WORLD CUP..IT PAID OFF.....GREAT CAPTAINCY

In one of the WC matches which I saw Dravid puts Ganguly on slips and he swaps his place with Tendulkar. I dont understand Saurav''s attitude. The main reason for India''s debacle was attitude problem among the players...Harbhajan, Yuvraj, Sehwag, Ganguly all have attitude problems. They dont want to improve themselves and on top of it indulge in groupism. Now even Tendulkar has joined the same list. Very sad ! If anybody has the recording please watch it.Now tell me who should be sacked.

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 South 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 threw 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.

Tell me one player who can replace Dravid as a batsman.Tell me one player from current Indian player who has scored centuries in all test playing countries.Tell me one player who has got the most prestigious awards "Gary Sobers player of the year".He was the first person to get this award. You cannot overlook this achievements and sack him from the team.He can be sacked from captaincy.I agree with you in that issue.

Never doubted Dravid as a batsman who definately has a role in the Indian team but surely not as captain.
