This is the best thing to have happened to Indian Cricket in the last 2 years. Otherwise if Chappell would have had his way, Raina would have been Captain, vice-captained by Utthappa and we would have been on the verge of losing our Test Status.

Shut Up! Ganguly was rightly shown the door. Remember the most successful opener Justin Langer was fighting for his place in Australia. Indian players like Ganguly take their place in Indian Team for Granted even with poor performance. I think that lack of support from media and Indian Fans lead to the defeat of Team India. Ganguly and Calcuttans never wanted Dravid to be the most successful captain of Team India. SV

Shut up Sanjeev. Why do you start comparing an Indian cricketer with an Australian. Bootlickers of the "gora sahib" like you have ruined this country. My gut feeling is that either you hail from Lalu's Bihar. Besides, Ganguli atleast used his common sense and wisdom to reach the WC'03. HMV (His Masters Voice)Dravid came a cropper in the prelim. Just remember captain's are born and not made or positioned through the back door, just as Dravid

Dear Sanjeev, You are one of those innumerable eunuchs('hijras' to you hindiwallahs) who populate India's heartland and make it the cesspool it is. You seem to know nothing about winning because you are programmed to lose right from your birth. Calcuttans hate Dravid because he lacks balls and if the hatred of Ganguly and the Calcuttans is enough to defeat India then maybe the Indian team should consist of only Calcuttans. And a single Calcuttan at the helm of the team had created history just a few years back. But I guess for you and your vegetarian ilk an aggressive Captain was too much to stomach! Your men should wear skirts.

Hey, Why do you people always point out that Ganguly is just a calcuttan? When he lead the Team with pride and so many matches for India, apart from improving the toughness in the team, Do you think he was leading Bengal? Tell me how many Bengalis got into the team while he was the captain. So, Man I think you guys should shut your mouth. He rightly deserves to be the captain. Dravid became good in batting only when he was made Wicket keeper in the team by Sourav. Wicket keeping always improves the player's eye on the ball and also makes it easy for an intelligent batsman to understand the nature of the pitch. I am sure, once again if he goes back to this WK position, he will be more consistent in his batting. Good luck India and the TEAM INDIA. Jai hind

if what u saud "Wicket keeping always improves the player's eye on the ball" is true then all wicket keepers in the world cricket should be great batsmen, i struggle to count many good wicket keeping batsmen.
