A team is as good as captain The match against SL way Indian players their body language showed during fielding looked asipractice match. Some players netgative attitude and body language shows they were not ready to play 6 more matches under Dravid's The way they gave away 29 Extras against Srilanka, leadership ganguly played a big role in defeat. By playing negative cricket and he and sachin dhoni and herbajan betrayed the team and to pull Dravid down. Captaincy myth Ganguly -5 yrs Team won 76 odis out of 147 matches when ganguly was captain
out of 147 matches India won 76 (51.70%) lost 66 (44.90%) Tie or no results 5(3.40%) won 74 (50.34%)
But Saurav captained 34 ODI against minnows Bangla Desh Zimbabwe Namibia Kenya Netherlands Canada etc%u2026..
Dravid %u2013 16 months Team won 33 odis out of 65 ( including this WC matches) when Dravid was captian
India won 33 (50.77%) lost 28 (43.08%)no result/ tie 4 (6.15%)
But Dravid captained ot 65 matches captained only two ODI against minnows i.e. Bangladesh and Bermuda
VC sachin failed with bat but ganguly scored runs but wasted more balls and his poor fielding, running btw wkt cost more runs to team and gifted match to Bangladesh herbajan wkt less dhoni is a complete failure. He was laughing evn after dropping catch even one win would have taken team to S.legue and there was no change in captaicy and odi winning average differen very just 1% when compared dravids 's 16 months captaincy with ganguly's 5 yrs achievement. Back stage politics who names are forefront in captaincy race??? Ganguly %u2018s success was b%u2019cuz ofcontributions dravid, sachin laxman kumble srinath, sewag not b%u2019cuz of leadership qualities. He servived as non performing captain b%u2019cuz he had godfather called dalmiay . When dalmiay lost power he betrayed dalmiay also. Ganguly is playing petty politics and ditched dravid
One win in WC would harmed the stat / record of ganguly%u2019s successful captain ganguly deliberately played negative cricket, played big role in defeat against bangadesh and gifted match to Bangladesh Ganguly used WC to betray the team and humiliate dravid ganguly and sachin both are in captain race sacnih as VC failed with bat but ganguly played negative cricket and gifted match to bangladesh even one win would have taken team to S.legue and there was no change in captanicy and odi winning average differen very just 1% when compared dravids 's 16 months captaincy with ganguly's 5 yrs achievement. so that dravid is not good captain but ganguly is good captain and also harbajan wkt less and dhoni is failure if coach and captain has to go then sachin ganguly herbajan and dhoni zahir shold be shown the door

with above logic, we dont need any captain. captain is as good as team.. then why dont we go for Uthappa, or Munaf patel as captain.

Winning or defeat in matches depends on performance of XI players irrespective of captain, coach, pitch, stretagy and conditions. Bangladesh and SL victory against India is best example and a captain is as good as his team and it is individual palyer to deicide to suppor team and captain or play for self ?? IF team win all players come forward to take credit then all players will be responsible for the defeat. When chappelll tried to give chance to youngesters many ppl said expereinece required. When experienced failded now same ppl are asking for youngsters%u2026 Ind%u2019s early exit is b%u2019cuz of attitude and ego problem of some players and lack of commitment to team. This WC team India %u2018s early exit, b%u2019cuz some players delieberatley palyed negative cricket and betryed team and dtiched dravid.ateam. If players are not ready to support team cause what capatain.some players fielding and body language was visible that as if they were playing an practice match and gifted match to Bangladesh an early exit from WC means dravid is not good captian and ganguly%u2019s records not harmed When players only go against captain and coach and betray teammates why blame captain or coach??If player can not perform for team what is his role ? He should be kicked out team IF players can get negative inspiration why could not players did not perform for team??how can cricket expert say that captain is not motivating player?/ WC is the biggest event of cricket and those players who get chance to play this on behalf of team India?? A funny joke?? A cptain and coach can not induct inspirationg to any players the inspiration, positive mindtset and right attitude should arise from play%u2019s mind. If a player can get negative inspiration why can%u2019t same palyer what is problem in getting positive
