Ganguly deliberately played negative cricket, had a big role in defeat against Bangladesh and gifted mathc to Bangladesh. He betrayed team and ditched the captain. WC event was best stage If team wins it would gone to sleague. Then there would not have been change in captaincy An early exit means dravid is not good captian and ganguly average won%u2019t spoil NOW HE IS FRONT RUNNER IN CAPTAINCY RACE simply back stage politics to humiliate dravid ganguly wasted more balls than the runs he scored. The strikerate and average of bangadesh and other country opening players are better when compared to ganguly averagel His poor fielding and poor running wkt and unwilling to take singles cost more runs to team also created pressure on batsman on other side Yuvraj Scored 47 runs in 10 overs Rest of team scored 50 in 19 overs Against burmada he scored 89 in 114 balls wasted 25 balls that is around 4.6 runs per over... compare it to the indian teams average of 8.26 Ganguly was struggling while batting against burmuda, and got 3 lifes Harbajan singh went wktless in 2 matches dhoni failed with bat Zahirkahn was wktless in firest match and in he took 2 wkts against SL but he gave more extra runs b'cuz of erratic bowling. VC captain sachin failed completely with bat VC Tendulkar scored a duck, Ganguly 7 in 23 balls and Yuvraj 6? Dhoni 0?( match against srilanka) Batsman Mts Inns &n bsp; NO Runs Hs ;Avg SR 100 50 0 V Sehwag 3 3 0 &n bsp; 164 114 54.66 &n bsp; 117.98 1 0 ; 0 SC Ganguly 3 3 0 & nbsp; 162 89 54.00 &n bsp; 60.90 0 2 0 Yuvraj Singh 3 3 0 &nb sp; 136 83 45.33 &nbs p; 117.24 0 1 & nbsp; 0 R Dravid 3 3 1 &n bsp; 81 60 40.50 &nbs p; 72.32 0 1 &n bsp; 0
Dravid was criticsed by chief selector and board members and ex cricketers but he was highest rungetter, and scored 100 and won mom. Other players din not score 100 against even Bermuda
dravid was only batsman struggling agianst SL the match was crucial and all other batamanss went to pavilion by gtting out silly shots some players played deliberately negative cricket to defeat so ppl say dravid poor captian and ganguly great. ganguly is culprit he ditched the team and captian

who asked the team india and captain to drop tendulkar to no 4.... this mistake was also done before ... When he was batting really good in opening,y the hell he batted at no 4 in CWC...see the other teams like australia...they all are specialist in thier own place...they really dont care about the other places....

At least he scored runs; what did other batsmen do? minus the runs Ganguly scored against BD and what's left? Ganguly got out early against SL and rest of batting line struggled. Don't blame Ganguly; the entire batting line up failed

billa, i can't understand this. he played politics to get back into the team and swalloed 130 balls for his 66 against bangla and got out at a crucial time of the match. he scored 89 off 127 balls against the weakest side bermuda and scored 7 0ff 23 against lanka. this guy batting at the top of the order ditched Team India. He needs to retire for the sake of Cricket. Dada is a big liability for the team as he's playing dirty politics. Also, like austraila, we should never include past captains, whosoever it may be.

Suman, Please don't copy and paste the same message you posted every where. Please talk something relevant. The message to be posted here should be of some relevance to the article. It should be related with the most selfish cricketer (who never played for the team and was always a burden) Nayan Mongia's views on the current Indian team's performance in the World cup who also dreams to coach India. hahahahahahah..... That was a greta joke. I think probably the interviewer was trying to pull his leg. God save India.
