Sourav should be the next captain of Our Cricket Team...Only he is capable of leading India to Victory.If Saurav would have been the WC Captain,atleast india would have been into the Super Eight.

Hah... That is the joke of the decade.. India at least needs a performing captain.. Sourav should be kicked out for the kind of politic plays he got into the indian team.. He just played safe cricket in WC to shield himself from getting dropped. He played for himself not the country.. The only person who was playing slow when the pitch was good(against Bermuda) and playing fast when pitch was bad(against Sri Lanka).

ganguly should retire ganguly and his gang deliberarly played negative cricket and gifted match to bangaladesh to humiliate dravid. early world cup exit to prove dravid a poor captain ang ganguly stat of succes did not harm. when team players only betray the team why u blame coach and captain?? the root cause of problem is politician ganguly he dtiched dalmiay and dravid he can do it his chelas like bajji, dhonik zahir, yuvraj sewag??/ dravid anchored the scueess of ganguly as succes ful captain. but ganguly ditched dravid and WC is best event for that.team won 18 odis by cahsing without ganguly under dravid captaincy. ganguly had great comeback but always played for self , saving wkt, scoring runs to cement his place. in SA it is sreesant, pathan and dinesh karthick ganguly is promoting groupism. he did not built any team When ganguly was out and dravid made captain team was ranked 8 in ICC ranking, now even after early exit from WC it is ranked ^th and odi winning average difference is only 1.22% for dravid when comapred ganguly 5 yrs success. ganguly led team for more nos matches and had 38 wins againsst weaker side like kenya, namibia, Indian captains in ODIs
Names Matches Won Lost Drawn/Tied Won% Kapil Dev 74 40 32 2 54.05% M Azharuddin 173 89 76 6/2 51.45% SR Tendulkar 73 23 43 6/1 31.51% SC Ganguly 146 76 65 5 52.05% R Dravid 65 33 28 4 50.77% http://www.hindustantimes.in/htcricket/74_1959563.htm india team did not play as unit the body language and attitude of some players on the field was not encouraging ( as if they were playing a practice mathch) A captain is as good as his teammates some ganguly %u2018s marketing agents ( ex cricketers ) are screaming that draivd is not inspirational captain and ganguly should be reinstalled. If is player to get motivated and decide to play for team or self ( without help of coach and captian) IF PLAYERS CAN GET MOTIVATION/ INSPIRATION TO PLAY NEGATIVE CRICKET TO PLAY DELIBERATLY NEGATIVE CIRCKET to ditch captain and betray team, why cant%u2019 they be motivedted for playing for team. IF some players are not readyt o commit to team but not support captain and team why don%u2019t blame the individual players??

Hello Mr. Sunil Pradhan, Make ur statement on the stats of truth and not on your dream or imagination. Dravid was not lifted by ganguly in one dayer's he came back into one day team because of his gusty performance in Newzealand when all of the others failed before the world cup of 1999. And then he cemented his place by making highest run getter in world cup 1999. (Till then sourav was not even the vice captain of the team). He helped sourav to win one day matches with the help of 7 batsman which he could afford only because dravid took up wicket keeping. No one supported dravid he came back on his batting skills and not because of this dirty politics. Please make sure what you are speaking is truth before making any comment.

Ganguly becoming captain again could be the worst thing happening to Indian cricket at the moment.He is so full of himself.Don't support Ganguly only becoz u r a fan and come up with crazy ideas that he led india to glory only becoz of himself.Let me give u the real statistics..Take World Cup 2003 for example..Against Zim ganguly went for 23 runs whereas Sachin and Rahul batted till the end scoring 88 and 43 not out respectively.India won..India against England.Ganguly out for 19 runs.Sachin 59 Dravid 62 and Nehra 6 wickets ensured India a place in the Super Six..Against pak. Ganguly 0 Dravid 44 not out Yuraj 50 runs.India won.These were the pool matches..Now super six.Against sri lanka sachin 98 sehwag 65. India won.Against nz ganguly 3 Kaif 68 n.o Dravid 53n.o.India won and went into semifinals and in the final 24..He played well against Kenya and Nambia..and in all this rahul dravid was a wicketkeeper..I don't think Ganguly contributed one percent.Check the records..Don't blindly support one player.
