Dravid as ODI captain
by mutharaju ramana on Mar 28, 2007 04:10 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Dravid got selected in the team as a batsman. But as a senior batsman and captain he failed to lead the team. His oneday average is not worthy as well as his strike rate. So we think to change the captain with some professionalism to lead the team at times some harsh treatment also. But this Dravid is solf and mild and cannot take decisions on his own.

Who was there in the crucial match to support Dravid with a good partnership? All started to blame Dravid for his captaincy. He should have avoided Sachin, Ganguly, Dhoni etc. for the crucial match with Srilanka, right? He did his level best and the most criticized and well supported by Dravid (Sehwag) was the only one to give a double figure score along with captain. All wants to blame captain for the loss not his batsmen. We should blame teams irresponsible batsmen for the defeat, not the captain. Dravid's average is the best among many in the team in the recent years. Dravid should continue as captain but give his some responsible batsmen.

Dravid has an average of 40 and 10,000 runs.

You might want to compare that with, say, Ricky Ponting's before you try to put him down based on his numbers.

And you choose to blame just him for this fiasco ?
