If Rahul had really said that to the Board, then the BCCI should have named a Junior as the captain (Yuvaraj, Dinesh Karthick, or someone whose place is certain) and left the seniors to maintain their places based on their performances. They have done it before when they named Mohd. Azharuddin as the skipper in the late eighties. Azhar had three ex captains in his team, i.e., Kapil, Vengsarkar and Srikanth. In a country like India where cricket is more than a game, the leader of the team has to be mentally strong, apart from possesing the other necessary qualities.

But the problem is nobody in the list you said are not so accomplished players and BCCI donot have guts to make such decisions. If SA can make G.Smith as a captain , why cant we make somebody like Yuvraj or Dhoni a captain and ask all seniors to play under them by giving an extended period of arround one year to the new captain?

The Board the captain and the captain's fans all are stinking and farting in joy. The entire place is full of foul smell.
India will return loser from Bangla outing. The great captain shall silently pass three more farts in joy again.
Only new player is Manoj. He will not be given any chance to play and be dropped again. The scheme is such that they will call Tendulkar agin but won't give chance to Ganguly.
Farting captain is farting all over the places with his farting fans who write long eulogies on this joker Rahul.
Bare his back and cane him with an oil soaked cane stick 10000 times.

Take out dravid contribution s to ganguly%u2019s succssess as captain the see his average will be lower than sahcins. At least dravid did not ditched any teammates or captain when he played under sachin and ganguly Sachin being VC is failed with bat during WC. IF he had any problem with dravid or chappell why he did not approach the board instead of media? why is always comes with headlines with against dravid ? Whatever happens to ganguly it is projected the is b%u2019cuz of dravid?How can a ganguly%u2019s performance helped the team ?? His 129-ball 66 against Bangladesh, 114-ball 89 against Bermuda, and 23-ball 7 against Sri Lanka conveyed the impression that he was more concerned with making runs for himself than the team. Poor fielding, poor running between wkt, and unwilling to take singles not rotating strke etc.. It seems that some section of Bengal media, whatever bad/ failure happened to ganguly it is b%u2019cuz of dravid? B%u2019cuz dravid made captain from last 20 months? Why ur reliable sources could find out about back stage politics of ganguly?/
