"Dravid has eliminated India in very 1st round of WC"-Don't you know cricket is a team sport, not a individual played game. Check your cricket basics before commenting someone.

Shekhar, if you think Cricket is a team sports, not individual, then why people like you attack Sachin for the failure in world cup.
Another fact is Captain should have a quality to extract the best out of team and coordinate every properly in the batting order and bowling too. Dravid lacks that quality.
Lat 2 years he did all sort of nonsense experiments along with Chappell and he miserably failed in th World cup. So basic quality of Captaincy does not belong to him/Dravid.
If you think he is a good cricketer, then let it be. But he should resign from Captaincy or be sacked from Captaincy.

yes, Dravid should tell Tendulkar to keep his bat and pad together while facing the ball and encourage Ganguly to run when his partener calls for quick singles. Dravid should also teach Ganguly and his fans that against Barmuda even Harbajan can score more than run a ball and sheet anchors are not needed against Barmuda/Hawai/Thailand etc. Why bost so much about Ganguly? Taking of your shirt is not aggression. India reached last world cup final just because of the form of Tendulakar,Dravid and Sehwag. Stop nonsense. It is easy for a selfish person to lead unselfish people, reverse is impossible.

That's pure BS. Are you aware of 2003 WC? Ganguly lead from the front and was the second highest run getter among Indian batsmen, with an average of 58.1

Do you really think Dravid knows a bit about captaincy? This guys seems cannot play without Sehawg, Dhoni or Robin. He wants all pinchhitters in the team to win matches and constantly ignoring others. I can bet you Irfan Pathan would have scored more runs than Uttapa. So why don't you include him as an allrounder.
