It is now clear that the team members especially the seniors like Ganguly and Tendulkar let down the Team, the Captain and the Coach very badly. Throwing out Dravid and Chappell is like throwing the "baby" out with the "bathwater".They both still represent the best hope for the future of Indian cricket.A younger vice captain ( no clear choice really ???)with intention to take over from Dravid in about 2 years time seems the best way to go. And for the sake of Indian cricket,Sachin and Ganguly please go into retirement.Your past records and performance will only look better and graceful when you know it is time to go.

Dear Raj,
We are not concerned as who is in form, out of form, playing game or playing politics or so ever. What er want is that the team should give consistent positive results. If team looses and Mr wall or tendlya hits double century, it's vein for us. But if team wins and the captain himself gets out on a duck is welcomed. The result should be victory. kunki agar garv hai to sab kuchh hai, garv nahin to kuchh bhi nahin.

Raj,
What about, when the same Ganguly waved his shirt over his head after the famous Nat Weat win ?? You were not proud to be an indian when we triumphed over England & showed them that we can see them face to face and with our heads held high ??

Its not a question of bong or not..idiot..look at my argument its well put. not like you who doesnot understand head or tail of cricket and make personal remarks. I have tough balls to accept the reality but its only you guys who are supporting Dravid who kept on hanging with sehwag and kumble, destroyed a winning team, conspired against sourav and supported that idiot Chappel. Sourav atleast showed us the proud days of 2003 world cup where we reached finals and gave us hope of winning 2007.

Chappel and Dravid were a great combination. Ignorant Indian cricket fans cannot understand what is going on in Indian cricket right now. Sachin and Ganguly wanted Dravid to fail. Ganguly flourished when Dalmia was there. He did everything to remove seniors like Kumble Dravid etc. Didn't Ganguly force Dravid to keep wickets if Dravid wanted to play in the ODI team. You guys must understand the politics of Indian Cricket before blindly speaking against Dravid, or Chappel or even Kumble
