Sorry...this is not just done!!....Just think guys...There are top 8 teams playing super 8 in a cricket worldcup.....India is not among those teams...and a team like Ireland is part of the super 8!!.....After all this still Rahul dravid is made skipper!!....dravid doesnt have any agression as a player nor as a captain...he is not at all a motivator...and in hindi we can say...bahut thanda aadmi hai....Are these the qualities that u seek in an indian Captain??? The best captains have always been agressive,speak aggressive...do aggressive....eg...Imran Khan,Steve Waugh,Clive Lyod,Mark Taylor,Arjuna Ranatunga,and any Indian captain who comes even slightly close to these guys is indeed Saurav Ganguly....He was Agressive...used to give back words to the aussies...and always encouraged aggressive players like...Yuvraj...Harbhajan...Zaheer..Infact he saved Rahul Dravids one day career by making him keep wickets....(rahuls one day strike rate that time used to be 63...now it is 72..)He always backed and supported his team....Not like Rahul..whos so diplomatic that he couldnt even come to the defence of our greatest ever cricketer Sachin Tendulkar...when Chapell...said so many things abt him.....Shame on such a diplomatic idiot!! Ganguly has about 3 to 4 years....in my books hes the best captain...and later on he should hand it over after 3 years to Yuvraj!!

no one here is having doubts over the ability of dravid as a player but its all about his approach as a captain.

When the team members are not playing well, juz becoz they are not allowed to go to late nite parties, they are asked to follow coaches decisions, they are forced to perform else they will be dropped, u cant blame a captain... India was doing well under Dravid's Captaincy when Sachin n Ganguly were out of the team... U dont need the captain to come n pat ur back to perform as a team becoz ur representing a big nation n ur making a hell lot of money, u shud feel it from inside the aggression n tea spirit...Dravid is not there for baby sitting n he cant juz make his team mates play the way parents use to force kids to study...
