good move
by Devinder Chandrawat on Apr 07, 2007 10:49 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

dravid was a failure in WC. why? becos he had so much of faith on something that is over.. At this moment there is no one in Indian team who can lead.. I guess we must give more time to dravid to mature as leader.. now there is nothingh left to lose.. this is time for rebirth.. dravid is a 100% cricketer.. he shud be given a full young brigade.. we shud make our domestic cricket real hard and selection procedure tight.. with people like shastri, prasad, robin as support people, things will look good.. initial phase will be tough, but I guess team will slowly emerge.. days of ganguly, tendulkar, sehwag, kumble, harbhajan is gone... time to move on..

I would say that dravid should be the last man to be the captain.Yuvraj was a much better choice .For instance just look at grame smith

Grame smith did not have an attitude problem..but yuvraj does..many here will want to fight with me for this comment..If u don't think he is arrongant just watch the interview he gave 2 days ago and see the arrogance with which he speaks

Pointing may have attitude but he plays well...That is how all the australia plays.In India due to the hero worship some ppl let success get to their heads..Yuvraj has just returned to the team and appointing him would be a big mistake..

Yep, that's how one should play - to win, win, win, nothing else (then only atleast 75% of winning rate could be achieved!!)

>> In India due to the hero worship some ppl let >> success get to their heads

Hmmm, this is more or less self-made time bomb by mindless media craze & commercial angle (players & middlemen). Plus, attitude matters too (which many does't have it properly!)

Hi Boss, where is Yuvi, in the league here? Just because he hit some sixes in the match against Bermuda...Dravid (The Wall) is the only Mr Dependable here, who can lead by example....

its not neccessary that a good player will be a good captain.Just remmember Tendulkar in his great days & still he failed miserably in captaincy. I am supporting yuvraj because heahas age on his side & can play on any type of wicket.
