Chappel is responsible- so is dravid
by Avijit Das on Apr 03, 2007 02:12 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

If a company fails to earn profit... Chairman gets the boot. If any country fails... PM/ Presiden is held responsible... for all failures, leader would be responsible. There may be 109 causes behind it... still leader has to accept the blame...

Senior players/ failure of batsmen... whatever, responsible would be the leadership, which is Chapel and dravid.

Fully agreed. But what will the coach do if the players do not play as instructed by him or what will the captain do if his team mates do not want to listen to him..........I will give u a classic example.........During the match against Srilanka, Agarkar in Malinga's Over went back and on one knee tried to swipe the ball over mid on but did not connect.....Dravid the non striker goes to him and asks him to calm down....... the second ball is outside the off stump and again Agarkar goes for a mighty sweep and again the captain goes down to him and asks him to calm down.......if this was a Australian or South African or Bangladesh player they would have listened to the captain & would have taken a single the next ball and handed the strike over to the non striker......but what did Agarkar do the next ball he again goes for a big hit and gets caught in the deep and walks back giving his captain a scornful look..............so where does your contention of Dravid being accountable for the team failures. First, understand the situation and then give your comments.

I think in this case the leader should be Sharad Powar
