trust a complete idiot like u to post such stupid things.we all know that u r obsessed with Dravid but to keep on spreading ur idiotic gossip now really is the limit! uthappa got out and india were 3-1 ,and what do u expect? ganguly to hit 3 fours and a six and get out and india to get 200-250 runs all out?? u also say Ganguly wasted balls in the Bangladesh match,WHO THE HELL CARES BECAUSE OUR SUPER-STRONG BATTING LINE-UP LED BY DRAVID did NOT EVEN LAST 50 OVERS!!!i guess u`d have been happy to see Ganguly out for a duck and to see India 130 all out,just because he DARED TO SCORE MORE THAN DRAVID!!!!!
your statistics are all wrong.god knows from where u spun all these latest gossip stories. u may be a blind follower and servant of Dravid`s but don`t think u can spread such horrible stuff.Even Dravid `Sir`ji will not like it and u`ll lose ur job! When India win nowadays(that rarely happens abroad nowadays),YOU ACT AS IF IT IS A ONE-MAN TEAM OF DRAVID`s and WHEN THEY LOSE,YOU SAY IT`S BCOZ OF ALL THE OTHER 10!!!!! YOU LIKE STATISTICS,DON`T YOU? HERE ARE THE TRUE ONES-Dravid got 81 runs from 3 matches at 27.00 per match and Ganguly got exactly double from the same @ 54/match. Under Dravid-Chappell India have won just 3 matches(vs. Pak,WI and BERMUDA) ouside the subcontinent out of 15 matches! sweet stats,aren`t they?? u see,unlike u, I don`t take so much joy in bickering over such stupid things,so pls try to get some common sense,it comes cheap..

he match against SL way Indian players their body language showed during fielding looked asipractice match. Some players netgative attitude and body language shows they were not ready to play 6 more matches under Dravid's The way they gave away 29 Extras against Srilanka, leadership ganguly played a big role in defeat. By playing negative cricket and he and sachin dhoni and herbajan betrayed the team and to pull Dravid down. Captaincy myth Ganguly -5 yrs Team won 76 odis out of 147 matches when ganguly was captain
out of 147 matches India won 76 (51.70%) lost 66 (44.90%) Tie or no results 5(3.40%) won 74 (50.34%)
But Saurav captained 34 ODI against minnows Bangla Desh Zimbabwe Namibia Kenya Netherlands Canada etc%u2026..
Dravid %u2013 16 months Team won 33 odis out of 65 ( including this WC matches) when Dravid was captian
India won 33 (50.77%) lost 28 (43.08%)no result/ tie 4 (6.15%)
But Dravid captained ot 65 matches captained only two ODI against minnows i.e. Bangladesh and Bermuda

We have lost the race world cup a year back, when Mr. Rahul dravid became captain, Chappel became coach and Kiran more at selector's side. Selctor's does'nt follow strategy to build the team and assigning the responsibilty according to the skills,capabilties and qualities. They unable to think because of their personal Grievance, greeds and egos mismanaged whole team with allocating responsibilties into incapables. Leadrship capabilty carry with the personality who leads from end with courage and positive attitude and as a team player, he binds the team flawless energy and never let the energy to diffuse. So that is what Sourav as a front end leader. And deputy is always back end...Dravid or Sachin, those who cannot lead from from front. If same strategy would have followed we would have been enjoying till another final of world cup. Just blame that Kiran more and Chappel and BCCI.
Better atleast for now for two years sourav should be captain, untill Yuvaraj learn all the strategies and quality of leadership as deputy and then as Captain. It will be strange when: 1. people or management (BCCI) think that sourav is getting aged and should not opt for Captain....Then what about Rahul and Sachin of same age group and nonperforming at any sector and thinking about temporary captain. 2. Going Backward: If Making sourav as a captain, then What sachin is now.... who was captain once and resigned and after long time He is deputy...where is the link..It is Backward step with u turn??????
It is better to give brake for both Rahul and Sachin.let them do prctise and come back like sourav

And again not to forget that souarv has brought India team back with Full strength after being panic in Match fixing and lossing badly at every matches during Azhar's captaincy allegations.
And India has won many trophy and series at foriegn locations during sourav's whereas Dravid only at Home country!!!!
