Wasn't Sachin captaincy blamed when he failed? Why did not the world say that the team is not performing especially when Match fixers like Jadeja, Azhar, Mongia and Prabhakar were in the team? Didn't people vouch for Sachin's head then? Same thing happened with Ganguly, he was out of form but the team was performing. When they were sacked why the hell we come up with foolish arguments about player not delivering etc. Dravid should be held responsible and sacked. Why special status for him? Remember the whole team was behind Sachin and Ganguly in the recent Chappell Saga, Dravid cannot control them, only Dada can.

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 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

Riaz miya, you are echoing the sentiment of a nation. Dravid should be court-martialed. Some Digs will be sad but who cares?
Defeat in against bangadehs and SL deliberate attamet by some players to make team An early exit in WC means to prove dravid not good captain and ganguly%u2019s record not harmed SIMPLY BACKASTAGE POLITCS WHICH PLAYERS NAME IS RUNNING FRONT IN CAPTAINCY RACE?? loose match b%u2019uz dravid is not inspirational captain and ganguly is an aggressive leader gnaguly succss is contributions of sachin laxman kumble sewag and (laxaman, kumble, sachin and dravid were on best of form and average age 28-32) NOT B'CUZ OF AGRESSION OR LEADERSHIP QUALITY OR AGRESSION. ganguly promoted groupism and laxman and kumble were out of odi team b%u2019cuz both were not in good books of ganguly?? Sachin bated brilliently in Last WC sachin scored 37% and main reason to ind won match against pakistan and entered smeis and fianl??But this WC he was VC complete failure. Who is responsible?? Player or coach or captain?? Ganguly had big role in defeat in mathch against Bangladesh. He gifted match t o bangaldesh deliberately playing negative cricket just to humiliate dravid and to take revenge against chappell ?? but he betrayed the whole team ganguly wasted more balls than runs he scored poor fielding and poor running wkt and unwilling to take singles cost more runs to team also created pressure on batsman on other side He did not bother to try and hold an easy catch during agarka bowling , Never tried to accelerate run rate He did not tried to hold simple catch during agarkar%u2019s bowling 60 runs in 130 balls how it can help a team cause?? Ganguly had one stage for having batted through nearly 11 overs to make a mere 7 runs. Yuvraj Scored 47 runs in 10 overs India Scored 191 in 50 overs Ganguly Scored 66 runs in 21 overs wasted more balls than runs he scored., Yuvraj Scored 47 runs in 10 overs Rest of team scored 50 in 19 overs Against burmada Ganguly scored 89 in 114 balls wasted 25 balls that is around 4.6 runs per over... compare it to the indian teams average of 8.26 Ganguly was struggling while batting against burmuda, and got 3 lifes Ganguly 7 in 23 balls against SL: Harbajan singh went wktless in 2 matches dhoni failed with bat was laughing when he dro[[ed catch t there were not sight in picture which tv channel shown when India lost ot SL all other players are in tears Tendulkar scored a duck, Ganguly 7 in 23 balls and Yuvraj 6? Dhoni 0?( match against srilanka) zahirkahn was wktless in firest match and in he took 2 wkts against SL but he gave more extra runs b'cuz of erratic bowling. VC captain sachin failed completely with bat coz the players who played all 3 matchs Except dravid munaf yuvraj nobody has shown commitment? ganguly in whole faced 266 balls nearly 50 overs and make only 162 runs, the how much pressure built on bats man other end, not incoming bats man doesn't matter india wins or Lose Ganguly RETURN WAS HYPED BY MEDIA BUT HE WAS NOT IN TEAM UNIFROM ALSO AND HE DID NOT ARRIVE WITH TEAM?? The picute of ind team dressing room which tv channel shown after ind defeat in Sl . all players were in tears but no sight of ganguly dhoni and harbajan!!!! ganguly seflish oppertunist politician
