1. How you keep Dravid as a captain after watching him leading the team against Bangladesh? Do you guys watch cricket ... did you watched cricket before and have seen India playing under Ganguly's leadership? Don't you see the difference? Do you need another pair of glasses ?
2. These players are so stinking rich, they care less about match fee anyway. But what kind of signal this "per match" fee system gives? You are my labor ... I own you and I pay you!!! Fact is ... BCCI is such a rich organization because of people pouring their attention to these media stars!!!
3. Put a hold on their endorsement !!! WHY? If someone asks Mr. Pawar to step out of his political activities to be the BCCI president ... does that work? Is there any data which shows that endorsement had any negative effect on their performance? These folks are adults ... and they live and breathe cricket. They know how to keep themselve competitive in this non-functional Indian Cricket arena ... As a parent body you failed to provide an infrustracture for grooming cricket (even a good spinner) in a country of billion people ... Now you are after their business !!!
4. Show cause Sachin and Yuvraj !!!! Are you guys crazy? You can't say a single word against Chappel when he leaks his report to press but beat your most sincere player with a whip!!!
5. Finally ... where is your promise to change Domestic Cricket? How you think will attract more public in Ranji/Irani etc and make those more competitive? How do you expect these players performing in International arena without any feelings of prior pressure?
Talking accountability, how the performance of this board will be judged? Is it by millions of dollars earned or by crucifying previous board ... or by providing some realistic measurable indicators that they are accountable for. And if they fail ... they are gone!!! If you think Cricket is a religion in India, Players are the Gods and these Board folks are the Pandas (read p***s) ... I would put my eggs with the players anyday than allowing some unqualified political p***s playing with that ...

Buddy the Kannad lobby is so strong that they will prevent any good things form happening for India. Look at Dravid, he is so shameless and power hungry that staying as a captain in the team is more important than anything else. His performance as a cricketer has reached at its low ebb. He must be having a Godfather in the team the way Gangul used to have one. But Ganguly has a proven track record and we reached the final under his captaincy. Now we are out in the very first round! They dont want to take a lesson. Besides most of the team members do not have a favor for Dravid.So I am wondering whom is he going to motivate may be those idiots in his state lobby. Even Sachin and Yuvi are bad guys these days! Can you imagine? just because they spoke the truth! Anyway, let us hope that at least the team wins in BNGdesh.

Hey Dan Lewis, you don't seem to be an Indian looking at your utterances aimed at creating regional fanaticism. How can you arrive at this conclusion when a nationwide poll amongs't all the State Cricket Associations voted 80 % in favour of Dravid remaining Captain. These guys are not laymen like you & me but run the cricket administration in the country with a deep knowledge of the game. The whole of India knows who the back-stabbers were in our debacle at the World cup. So, get your facts right, buddy.
