We all know that all Bongs hate Chappel. Now they have got a very great opportunity to blame Chappel & Dravid for the total failure of the team. My request to all bongs is to come out of regional mind set & start thinking about the nation. These are the same people who cheered the visiting team when India played SA in Eden Gardens. This shows their partiotism. We all know that commies sided with Chinese in 1961 war. They ready to welcome chinese & hand over our whole nation to China. Chappel & Dravid were the people who tried unsuccessfully to instill discipline , fitness & team work among the players. But as we all know that India is hero worshipping nation irespective whether they perform or not. I don't consider Sachin & Ganguly as world class cicketers. They have only performed on Indian sub continient dead pitches. Dravid is the only player who has performed on overseas pitches. Ganguly is known for his manipulations which unfortunatly did not work with chappel. I request all the cricket lovers not to blame Chappel & Dravid for all the failures. I request them to look at the cricket board member who are sychophants. If chappel leaves who will you bring in... Amarnath/Shastri - who were known for slow batting. For god's sake... we need a full time professional coach.. who can mould the Indian team. If fearless disciplined Aussie cannot mould this team, then anybody in India can mould this team. All these cricketers think that they are all stars & they think that they are larger than life and get away with what ever they do. There are regional fanatics to defend them. I my request to all is.. Grow up & get the reality.

Well said my friend. Our Bengali friends are very rude against players from all other states. They are up against Dravid just because he replaced Gangulli as Captain. The way they jeered Indian team in Eden Garden against SA I dont think any other state in India will resort to such unpatriotic step just because their hero was sidelined. They never go by immediate statistics or form of a player. They want Gangulli to lead Team India till he is forced to replace cricket bat with walking stick. Friends, you belong to the land of Subhashchandra Bose and Rabindranath Tagore. You should speak first as Indian then Bengali.

It has been proved time and again that Ganguly's captainship brain is much sharper than Dravid's. All you need to do is not to be a bong, but look at the results and figures - and the key decisions they took - which shaped the results of the games. Please note a game is a game only and anyone can support anyone, one needs to be foolish enough to call it a test of patriotship. That actually reflected open-mindedness of bongs - and what you said only proved how much narrow minded you are.

Dear friend, Can u recall how Indian team was given a green top wicket against Australia, only to bring Ganguli India to defeat. Bengalis paid Dravid in the same coin. What is the grievance when the scores are even

Raj Aryan,
First, please come out of your regionalist and racist mindset.
Who gave you the idea that all Bengalis are communists? Communist scum exist in all countries and regions, not only Bengal.
What do you know about patriotism of Bengalis? Have you ever read the history of India's freedom struggle?
Please do not form opinions about communities just by the reaction of some cricket crazy fans for whom hero worship is bigger than supporting the Indian team. Such fans are there all over India, not just Bengal.

Raj - please open your eyes and ears. you talked about commies and china and supporting visitors etc. Why don't you talk about the freedom fighters like Netaji, Bagha Jatin; or the religious leaders like Vivekananda, Aurobindo; or that the most number of Indian Noble Lauriates are bongs or worked in Bengal??
One needs to be very idiot like you to continue with Dravid's failed captainship, Chappell's headmaster-like coaching approach which is a total failure. In fact Chappell is so ignorant that he said India did not win any big tournament since 1985 - while under Sourav Ganguly only India won Natwest Trophy, Hero Cup and Championship Trophy; and also reached the final of 2003 world-cup, whereas under chappell-dravid it failed to make even to the quarter-finals.
Instead of being biased aginst bongs - open your eyes to the facts and figures. Though it is useless to try to infuse some sense into you, but still I wanted to take a chance and so I replied. May God bless you.

Dude.. get a life.. your reply stinks of regional mindset. You bongs never change and never accept the reality. Look the stats who had performed very well when Ganguly was captain, Dravid's name will stand out. Stat's speak for themselves.
