you need to go back into time and consider the victories--sachin and ganguly are not superstars who can take the country and the team for a ride--if both players have contracts and are hell bent on holding their places in the team in spite of indifferent performances and attitude, why blame rahul and Greg--is the skipper not performing--is he hiding in the dressing room, refusing to open as ganguly did, or being obstinate in only opening like sachin so that he could score when field restrictions are in place!! Be aware of facts before you pen something which makes no sense.

All media speculations. Discussion are eyewashing experience sachin and ganguly are main culprits for wc debacle. and there were huge public opinion against sachin. But strong mumbai lobby will never let down theirlocal hero. and vengasrakar wanted him to captain. resting ganguly and sachin is eyewashing exercise. And many ex cricketers, media cricket experts had not guts to spaeak against these 2 super starts. the lack of commiment , passion , poor body languge or groupism or petty politics played against captain and coach.. both ex captain are fighting for captaincy behind scens. so they have to prove dravid is not good captain . but dravid started well wining 18 odis in chasing and won test series in WI , histoirci test match win SA, and odi sereis in WI.Chappell report was right in pointingout these dressing room politics and some players undermine dravd's captaincy and not to led by skipper . As per some news report tendulkar and ganguly had last laugh that they got rid of chappell and next terget is dravid Indina express poll 75% favoured dropping sachin and ganguly for odi series against BL But this did not bring any laurales to ex captains.they are looser b'cuz there is no guarantee that sachin ganguly will play next WC and in many public polls more than65% voted in favouring the bcci decision to rest superstars while dravid's supports to retain him as captain increased even after ongoing dravid bashing articles.. 80% of cricket associanton (survey in ndtv) supporte dravid. 50% voted for dravid in IE express,. IBN CNN survey 86% ppl voted for dravid..48% voters is voted dravid to be captain by big margin. .cricketvotes.com Sachin may be living legend but he is no more bigger than team or game SL is playing superb cricket None of senior player /ex captain m envied mahila%u2019s his promotion as captain From the outset they gave unstinting support. they remained hungry to perform and did not rely on reputation or popular support to protect their places. Ganguly and sachin are considered better odi players than dravid but had advantage of opening and play more balls tandulkar calibre players should be able to play in any position and dravid played from No1 to 7 as per team requirement dravid is still ahead in ICC odi ranking, also finised 10krnsn, highest no of fifties, highes catch holder, also nominated for icc odi team for last 2 yrs

The team is not united because of Dravid. But because of his captaincy. Dravid deserves to be the captain. But people like Sachin feel inferior to play under him. People call him technically sound, perfectionist, a true Indian cricketer, which he is jealous of.
