No Tough Decisions! BCCI has proved its a sissy and has given the captainship to another Sissy!!!
One expression of Rahul Dravid stands out in my memory from the world cup. When Tamim Iqbal was going after the bowling and hitting our bowlers for huge sixes, i saw Rahul's face - distraught, clueless and helpless, frustration and pain was clearly visible on his face and he put his lips together and blew air like a baloon looses air; shoulders slumped - No authority over the game...
That expression says it all. Its pathetic to see him bat, field or even be on the field. Inspite of him taking blame, he isn't punished??? He is rather given captainship for the next 3 tours???
Absolutely Pathetic State of Indian Cricket. I just went to the record books and checked - Dravid has hit only 33 sixes in his long International carreer of over 300 ODIs.
I can't wait to see him bat against bangladesh again. I'm sure he won't be able to reach a strike rate of even 50 in test matches.
GOD WHERE ARE YOU? PLEASE SAVE INDIA FROM THIS MAN!!!

You are right that Dravid was in a helpless situation. No captain can dream a win when all his fellow players are batting and bowling badly. Even Riky Ponting can do nothing other than what Dravid did. Remember, Dravid was the only one to score a big score while India played the crucial match against Srilanka and if you do not know go through the figure that he and Sehwag did bat and nobody else could or did score 20 runs. We gave tiger and master blasters who could not make a double figure at all. If Dravid had some Ranji players, India would have reached second round at least.
