DRAVID SHOULD RETIRE HE IS SAME AGE AS TENDULKAR AND GANGULY AND....HE IS NOT A GOOD FEILDER....

DRAVID IS THE BIGGEST POLITICIAN AND SHAMELESS....HE PERFOMED BADLY AND INDIA GOT KICKED OUT BECAUSE OF HIS POOR CAPTAINCY.....STILL HE WANTS TO BE THE CAPTIAN....IF THE WHOLE TEAM FEELS.....WHAT SACHIN SAID WAS RIGHT AND GANGULY YUVRAJ SACHIN BHAJJI ZAHEER SEHWAG DHONI......ARE ON ONE SIDE...THEN ITS NOT GROUPISM U IDIOT...THIS IS THE 90% OF THE TEAM THAT PLAYS ALL MATCHES....SO DRAVID IS A IDIOT IF HE WANTS TO REPLACE ALL THESE PLAYERS.....AND GET SOME WHO LISTEN TO HIM...THAT WONT HAPPEN...BECAUSE HE SUCKS

JG Wright 130 68 56&nbs p; 6/0 52.30
GS Chappell 62 32 27&nb sp; 3/0 51.61
& nbsp;



SC Ganguly 146 76 65 &nbs p; 5 52.05%
R Dravid 65 33 28 4 50.77%
The difference of odi wnnin average is only 1% when compared to succss of ganguly & john AND dravid and chappell
Ganguly and john had advanatage of leading team more Nos of matches( almost double) and for five yrs and dravid and ccahppell did not even completed 2 yrs
team won odis and tests without tendulkar and ganguly under leadership of dravid. chappell hold the mirror of dirty politcis of senior players and he was thrown out of ind team. ganguly sachin bajji dhoni agaraker zahir khan must fight battle on field rather thain in dressing room

Suman, if I lead the team, how can I have fun writing on this forum just like you do?

Mind you, I am all for Dravid to continue as the captain since whatever the other forumers may criticize him for, he is the best candidate available at this point in time.

captaincy myth
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

Dravid gave his unconditional support and sacrifices to all captians he played under. Check statistics for last7-8 years and see the contributions of dravid forr little success india had WHY CAN%u2019T OTHER PLAYERS DO THE SAME NOIW

Statistics is a good tool for analysis, but it should be used with caution. There is an old story of a stats teacher who while crossing a river calculated as average depthof river as 4 feet and average hight of the students as 5 feet and went for crossing it, the result , All drowned.

Same thing is here done by Suman Bhatt repeatedly. If wee look at this on year to year basis and take care of some other facts, then it is quite clear that Ganguly-Wright duo started with scratch to build the team after the Fixing scandal and build the team with average of 52% victory, The same team got transfered to Dravid-Chapple duo and till the time Chapples Ideas started in producing the results, it gave 60% victory in 2005, and 2006 onwards when the ideas started giving results, came down to 40%,

So which performance is better Wright-Ganguly's 52% build from scrath or Chapple-Dravid's 51% build from a strong base.

The decision is yours ..

We have a lot of uneducated people here who pick up statistics from google and paste it here ....so when I play one match and win that match my average will show 100% is that performance?? if I play 100 matches and win 99 matches my average will show 99% so which performance is better 100% in one match or 99% in hundred matches ...dravid and gangulys comparison is like that ....dravid doesnt even know how to walk straight if you compare him with ganguly....i mean these are simple things which some idiots cannot understand ...there is no point comparing gold with cowdung dravid.....and this amazing argument that ganguly played slow in the world cup shows how ungreatful and ill mannered indians can get for people who are trying to serve the country....ganguly was slow because he was holding one end .....that was what any intelligent cricketer who has played any cricket will do ....that is what ponting did the other day against england ....he didnt do anything flashy .....i mean the completely illitrate indian public will neva understand these things ...they think cricket has to be played the way sehwag plays ....thats why indian cricket is in this position today the indian team cannot remembre the last time they lasted 50 overs .......hahahahaha and dravid takes advantage of this non cricketing public to shamelessly hold on to his position as captain ....look at lara look at inzimam ..they immidiately stepped down and took complete responsibility and not a single person had the guts to criticize them after they announced retirement ..where as our shameless dravid after disgracing India and cheating india now thats good cricket still wants to be captain , he wants to negotiate about endorsements with BCCI I mean how shamless can someone get ...and here we are trying to disgrace a former captain who is also known to be the most successful captain of all time for working sincerely to get himself a place in the team and doing a very successful comback and standing up for india when the whole team was falling apart like a pack of cards ....Suman Bhat I am not a communal guy I speak from my knowledge of cricket and awareness of simple statistics of mean median mode
