dravid's big fault is he is not authorative shared the victory with his teammates, and not godfather to support him in bcci A captain is as good as his teammates IF some players are not readyt o commit to team but not support captain and team why don%u2019t blame the individual players?? If the other players are not ready to listen to the capt or the coach, what will the captain/coach do about it?
In last WC sachin was contributed to team scored 33% of total runs won mos and bast batsman. HE WON MATCH AGAINST PAKISTAN this time being VC he failed with bat Some player played negative cricket, deliberately had big role in defeat and not supported the team or captain and it was visible in all 3 matches. and teammates did not ditched team or captian during WC 03. Even kumble was illtreated, his bolwed to his heart for the limited oppertunity. SSO TEAM REACHED fINAL B'CUZ OF SACHIN AND OTHER PLAYERS NOT B'CUZ GANGULY'S LEADERHSHIP OR AGRESSION ganguly scored 3 100 against namibia and kenya but failed to deliver with bat in final as a captian he was not there when team required.this time team failed b'cuz some players deliberately played negative cricket and played big role in defeat to humiliate dravid and chappel. dravid has better winning odi average than any other captain.and recored of winning 18 odis even ganguly' tenure in 5 captaincy, ind won 76 odis out of 146 but 32 were against weaker team like ZIm. kenya, bangadehs and namibiz. while under dravid captaicny team won 33 odis of 64 matchs and 2 only against Zim team lost against SA and bangladesh when ganguly was captain also. ganguly promoted groupism in team. he treated team as his won property players who were good on his book were getting chance. Even laxman kumble after good performance were out of team when he was captain. This time some players deliberately played negative circket , had big role in defeat and did not support team or captain. the diff is ganguly had godfather and continued as captain even he was out of form for long time Dravid does not have god father to support him in bcci board members and chief selector criticized dravi%u2019ds support sewag but sewag is highest rungetter ( 164) and only batsman to score a 100 and won MOM. Even against Bermuda no other batsman clicked%u2026 infact some board members and cheif selector critised dravid for his support to sewag. but sewag ended up like highest run getter and only batsman scored 100 and won MOM Dravid as captain has the support of Kapildev, imran khan and gavaskar About retaining Dravid as the captain, Kapil said: %u201CWhy are we forgetting that this is the same Rahul Dravid who led India to victory while chasing 17 matches in a row, setting a new record. Why did not anybody question his captaincy then? http://www.telegraphindia.com/1070326/asp/sports/story_7566131.asp Matching orders http://worldcup.indiatimes.com/quickiearticleshow/msid-1807342.cms Gavaskar who was of the view that Dravid should continue as the captain despite the World Cup debacle.
"Rahul is 34 and you do not sack captains at 34 when they are peaking. I don't see any reason for a change because Dravid has not shown any sign of pressure. His batting has not faltered", he said. http://worldcup.indiatimes.com/articleshow/1803820.cms Dravid and Chappell should be allowed to continue Imran Khan http://sify.com/khel/wc_fullstory.php?id=14416168

'Inauspicious' it is this blindness which is killing indian cricket
why can we see that the backbone/ cricket infrastructure is in pits, the BCCI has no accountability, and politicians are lining up to take charge in the meantime, nobody cares for INDIA

well said......I think Dravid and Chappel r very well conversant in Middle fingering each other in these days. Sharad Pawar should be allowed to join them.

A team is as good as its captain. A captain typically influences the team's perforamnce a lot more than any of his players individually can. THis team could have, with all its problems, performed a lot better, if they were led on the field well by a meaningful captain.
