exactly what "ability as captain" is mr. chauhan talking of? india's loss in the WC was an aberration he says.....what about the 4-0 drubbing in SA and the 4-1 walloping in the Windies??? aren't we talking of too many "aberrations" ???????

ganguly success is b'cuz of hardwork done by dravid,laxman kumble and sachin. NOT B'CUZ OF LEADERSHIP QULAITY OR AGRESSION. HE took the credit for victory and team work
while dravid shared credit for the victory with his team mates. dravid accepted defeat o his responsiblilty in front of media.
Had ganuly ever accepted himself defeat as captain when ind lost druing ganguly 's tenue as captain dravid was doing press briefs.
WC debacle is totla failure not b'cuz dravid's captaincy
Dravid always a team player and always supported his captain and have stood for the team. Remember those 4 years where he acted as a wicket keeper even though he is not a regular keeper. He took the pain for the benefit of the team. So called great Sachin refused and still refusing to play in the middle order and crying that I want to play only as an opener and crying that my attitude was questioned and so on%u2026

Captai never asked Sachin always get out inside edge onto the pad and clean bowled in a match where he needs to perform.

Captain never asked Saurav to go over the top and play a silly shot where the need of the hour is play sensibly and play more over and get a good century and make the India to win.

Captain never asked Yuvraj to go for a silly run where there is no run and get out.

Captain never asked Dhoni to play back to a ball where you need to come forward and play.

Captain never asked agarkar to bowl full tosses in the final overs so that guys like Arnold and Vas can hit him for fours and sixers.

Captain never asked Harbhajan to concentrate on bowling his 10 overs for only 40 and don%u2019t take any wickets.

Captain never asked Saurav to drop the catch where as Murali in the same catch held on to a very difficult catch.
senior players played deliberately negative cricket and betrayed the team
Captain never said that. Players, have some Responsibility playing for your country

Ms bhat..pl be logical..
U gather good information about
cricket, perhaps many of us dont know it.
But you reveal wrong information from the information u gather to fight..
u r real looser like chamcha dravid.
its due to dravid, we lost WC.
This chamcha was silent after returning
india. But he spoke to media when it comes
about product endorstment..it shows
how selfish he is..he is money minded person
..doesnt have any quality to lead the team..
its due to pressure from the south lobby
he is selected captain again.
it seems a lamb will lead a team of young /mature tigers

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
