Dravid is the Best Captain India ever had. He should have been made captain long before world cup 2007 to get accimatized with the post. Given a strong team he would have won us the World Cup. Captain should not be blamed for failure nof the team. BCCI has atleast done one good thing by retaining him as the captain.

captain should not be blame; rather bus driver of team chappell should be blame. do you follow cricket at all? dravid was made captain long before the world cup and get his team according to vengsarkar. we have seen his captaincy in the champions trophy also. mr. chauhan is right, dravid proves how to make it in bcci's good book without performance as a captain.

if senior playes can get negative motivation / inspiration to group against captain, and playe deliberarly negative circket and gift the match to Bangla and SL what captain can do for taht??? A horse can be taken to water force to drink but sallowing or vomitting water will be done by horse it is senior players betryed the team and captain also no cpatin can't win matches when all the members are not with the captain. Most of the matches won by India under ganguly was because of Dravid's great knock and selfless attitude by way of keeping wickets and batting like a champion!!! At any nos. but dravid trusted seniors like sachin, yuvraj ganguly zahir and bajji but backfired by these palyers IN NDTV poll 80% cricketers told dravid continue to as captain where in ndtv programme ganguly paid ageent jadeja and siddu scrreams on top voice anti dravid and pro ganguly on daily basis Cricnext.com Sanyjah 100% supporte of ganguly Should Rahul Dravid be replaced as the captain of the Indian team? And the answer was in the negative with 86 per cent saying he should not be removed with only nine per cent saying that he should be replaced. The rest five per cent did not have any opinion. Indian express pool morethan 50% ppl voted for dravid.. dravid wihot any meida chelas, politician support and dadagiri is still surviaing b'cuz of honest hardwork and performance on the field Even KNOWING very well that ravishashstri, vengi, sharad pawar all sachin boys and ganguly gang is grouped onceagain and playeing dirty politics in dressing room and cricket filed, still he accepted captaincy...one more defeat will maight end his odi careers Then HOW DO CALL HIM AS PATHATIC??? HE IS FAR BATERR CRICKERER AND COMMITED PLAYERS THAN SO CALLED SUPERSTARS WHO BPLAY BACK STAGE POLITICS AND FIGHT IN DRESSING ROOM RATHER THAN ON FILED..... Dravid is actually doing the right things & consulting the other team members in decision making.The only mistake he made is by supporting his senior team mates which has back fired on him.

At any nos. but dravid trusted seniors like sachin, yuvraj ganguly zahir and bajji but backfired by these palyers Indian captains in ODIs Names Matches Won Lost Drawn/Tied Won% Kapil Dev 74 40 32 2 54.05% M Azharuddin 173 89 76 6/2 51.45% SR Tendulkar 73 23 43 6/1 31.51% SC Ganguly 146 76 65 5 52.05% R Dravid 65 33 28 4 50.77% ganguly captaincy advantage of leading more nos of matcges for 5 yrs) while dravid is leading team from last 16 motnths. the difference of winning average of oids under ganguly cpataincy and dravid is only 1.2% dravid many odis and tests without gangulys and tendulakar while ganguly succes was anchored by dravid and sachin laxaman and kuble. Not B'UZ OF LEADERSHIP QUALITY OR AGRESSSION One more win WC team would gone to Sleague and there won't be question of changeing captaincy. ganguly used wc event to humiliated dravid and betrayed team. ganguly deliberately played negative cricket, played big role in defeat against match bangldesh early wc exit means ganguly 's record did not harm, and prove dravid is not good captainNOW GANGULY IS ONLY RUNNING FRONT FOR CAPTAINCY RACE SIMPLY BACKSTAGE POLITICS NOT AGGRESSION OR LEADERHSHIP QUALITY
