senior players betrayed the team
by Suman Bhat on Apr 04, 2007 10:59 AM   Permalink | Hide replies


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

Totally agree with you, friend.
Dravid is a gentleman and Greg has the guts to reveal all the dirty secrets.Wright and all the other ex Coaches were lambs who did not have the guts to bring out the dirt.
For the people who you mentioned should be dropped, I would suggest Kaif,Raina,Powar,Balaji and Karthik as wicket Keeper.
