I think Indian fans were absolutely lost their control after Bangladesh loss. As all we know condition is critical now but they have 2 keep their head cool. Rahul knows what he have suppose to do and billion putting pressure on him is absolutely unfair with him. People started comparing GANGULY's captaincy with Rahul's at this stage is ridiculus. If INDIA fails 2 qualify in world CUP he will step down. And dont forget In 2003 WC it was SACHIN who single handedly brought INDIA into finals. And dravid as a batsman is technically far superior than Ganguly

Rahul might be a good batsman but he is no where near to Ganguly as a captain. That passion to win at any cost and fight till last, motivate their boys from the front is just not there in Dravid which is still there in Ganguly..he is more experienced as a captain then Dravid and remember after 1983 if for one single time team india qualified for finals was under Ganguly and no one else....

Mr. Shah please find out the batting avarege of Dravid for the last ten innings. Dravid earlier was "Wall" now he is big hole in the Wall. Please don't make false statment that SACHIN single handedly brought INDIA in the final of 2003. It was the whole team contributed Srinath, Zahir, Nehra everybody and above all It was Ganguly who's dinamic captency brought INDIA to the 2003 final. Now a days Rahul Dravid is a arrogant captain, he don't know captancy.

Cricket is not the game of single hand's success, it's team always a team game & only that brought india in the WC-03 final, hence stop your hypocrisy.
Dravid's captaincy was below standards against bangladesh.
As far as the captainship is concerned Ganguly is always one up based on his winning attitude & strategies.

I think you do not anything about cricket, except Ganguly. Ganguly might have been a good captain, but still he had tremendous backing of board, and players including selfless Dravid. As a player Ganguly is a average player. Even in Bangla match he scores a fifty plus but batted very slowly. Any other player like sachin , yuvaraj if they had played 120 plus balls India would have won. Despite being set he could not force the pace while we lost atleast 30 runs because of his poor running between wicket. If he had got out early, we would have scored more. Just because we loose 2 or 3 wickets if we go too defensive then there itself we have lost match. No point in getting a fifty after batting 120 balls,it is as good as not worth it. But ganguly always plays like this and makes more runs. Look at aussies, even when they loose wickets, they will keep score board moving with singles. This is the biggest drawback of sourav.

I think you donot know cricket but only to criticise Ganguly with your big owl eyes close..
when we got out early u use to critice him and when he is getting run u again criticise him.. and captaincy I think u forgot the history.. the time when India was going through the black days of betting, he took the captaincy and take India to the final of the ICC mini WC..
