Is Dravid's captaincy is good  or he is a toy of chappel's exprerimentations?

I once admired Dravid both as a player and as a celebrated peronality. He is a good captain also. But now what is is happening? He was not able to make things in his way. Y he is surrendering everything to the coach. Our Indian coach is eager in making only news. He is not successful in his experiments. Then y cant some body tell him stop experimenting with the Team. No body opens mouth, fearing that he wont give place in the team in the next selection, even the captain. Its more or like a idiot head master with weird ideas leading a bunch of scared students with out the oppurtunity to express. Because of this only India is not playing as a team now a days. Atleast Mr.Dravid you can speak your ideas...

The point given by the Team management and the Coach is India need 5 Bowlers, 3 spinners and 2 Fast Bowlers it not OKay.\n\nKaif Should be in the Team at any cost in the Test Team for the Reasons mentioned below :\n\n1.   He is a Excellent Fielder, and no one can just match him in that case.\n2.   He is a very intelligent sharp and a very quick learner.\n3.   He is a very good Athelet, and he is very quick in running between the wicket.\n4.   When the Indians lost too many wicketes in the 1st Innings at Nagpur, he was the one with the company of our Leader The wall Rahul Dravid who took the Initiative and took the Indian team out of trouble, Great knock and Great Attitude and character shown, well done Kaif.\n5.   It is not OK to include Piyush Chawla now straight away instead of the much experienced Mohammed Kaif, because already we have Kumble and Harbhajan as genuine Spinners and then we have the Tendulkar, Sehwag, Yuvraj who can also spin the ball and contribute to the Indian Team.\n6.   When things are going very well for the Indian Team, then Kaif forms a very good partner at the other end with any batsmen i.e. Tendulkar, Dravid, Yuvraj, Dhoni, Sehwag or any body else.\n7.   If given more chances then Kaif would prove himself that he can win more and more matches for his Indian team.\n8.   It is the form that matters the most than any other factor in a particular series, and it is the right time that Kaif is playing well and he definetly deserves a right place in the Indian Team in the present Scenario.\n9.   I would ask everybody to think of the same Indian team which is playing in the 2nd Test at Mohali but for the one change which should be in the team is that instead of Piyush Chawla - Mohammed Kaif should be playing the Match, that is it! Simple.\n10.  Because Piyush Chawla is so young and he can get a chance whenever in the future or we can try him in the ODI's since we are having enough 7 ODI's after the Test Series.

i guess it should be Rahul Dravid, who motivates the team and at the same time scores well setting an example for his teammates, he has the best captaincy record (more than 65%). So he takes the prize!

He is a batsman in the India cricket team, and a very good one. He has been captain, but I don't think he is at the moment.

NOW IT IS GOOD TIME FOR GREG CHAPPEL AND RAHUL DRAVID TO LEAVE THE SEAT OF COACH AND CAPTAIN RESPECTIVELY.  THE MORALE OF ALL PLAYERS IS DOWN BECAUSE OF THESE TWO PERSONS.  ANY YOUNG PLAYER SHOULD BE GIVEN THE RESPONSIBILITY OF CAPTAIN.  COACH SHOULD BE INDIAN WITH WHOM OUR PLAYER DISCUSS THE PROBLEMS FRANKLY.

not captaincy atleast they have to let him to play as a member. we need desperately experiance in the alien conditions like WI,ENG,AUS,SA,NZ.....\nindian team is looking very patchy because no one is there with real good experiance except DRAVID,KUBLE and LAXMAN..... \nWHY dont we give chance to GANGULY,AGARKAR(who is the only bowler to impress in onedayers against WI because of experiance) \n\nDAMN BULLSHIT PLANNING BY CHAPPEL AND BLOODY SHORT GUY KIRAN MORE AND OTHER GREAT PEOPLE WHO NEVER KNOW HOW TO CATCH A BALL IN BCCI \nSHOULD TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND THINK BOUT IT AND DO SOME THING QUICKLY SO THAT WE CAN BE GOOD TEAM IN WI IN 2007 . \n\nmind that we lost to no 9 team in world and if it is the case with AUS,SA,ENG,NZ  AND OTHER THEN WHAT IS OUR PLAN????????? IN THE SAME PLASES WE ARE GOING TO PLAY IN 2007 ......

yes he is the victim of the conspiracy. I am not Gangully fan but the way he is neglected is very sorry for the indian cricket. Agreed he was a very selfish player but he was a standard player just see his performance, whenever he scored, india wins may be he has scored apposite of substandard teams but we cant deny that after all it is international team. BCCI should think over Gangully matter. Being a cricketer and played upto first class level i understand the importance of each run scored. Just see the class of gangully & the Selectors apposing him. My view in abscence of Sachin, Gangully should be present. See the opening we have got from these two its great.

He should be included in the ODI series, just because he has a tremendous track record in ODI. But i think he is becoming a victim of Chappels ego. He was the only man who stood against Sourav's inclusion in the recent ODI Pak tour.(Its confirmed and there was lots of reports in this issue http://in.rediff.com/cricket/2006/jan/30chap.htm) So that is really bad for Indian cricket. Let him give a chance and if they feel he cannot perform, throw him, but this is not the way to show personal grudge. But as a constant crcket fan of last 20 years, i tell you, sourav will bounce back and he wil get his chance also, no Chappel can deny him..

Hi there, \n\nI think Ganguly needs to put a better show and prove his worth. We can't blame the selectors because they know the whole world is watching them, and wouldn't do so much of injustice if a player is really good.\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

NO DOUBT ITS RAHUL DRAVID.HE CAN PLAY IN ALL CIRCUMSTANSES.IN TEST OR IN ODI HE PERFORMS ALWAYS BEST V/S ALL CONTRY.WE HAVE HEARD OF GOING OUT OF FORM OF PLAYERS,BUT HAVE NEVER HEARD THAT HE IS OUT OF FORM.WHETHER HE WAS A KEEPER OR HE IS A CAPTAIN HE PLAYS HIS OWN GAME WITH NOT AFFECTED BY THIS.

It is not that he should be played out of cumpulsions of politics but he should be given another chance to prove himself.\n\n  This will bring up the morale and reduce mental pressure of freshes and newbies.\n  we should not forget that once sourav was a great left hand batsmen .It is also true that his consistently showing poor performance .

I think he certainly has the pottential to come back if he performs well in domestic cricket. But either Chappel should change his views about Sourav or he should be removed from post of Coach. If any of these two is possible than only Ganguly will be back.

Y not .. he his the good captain .. After the chappels agreement over then he came back  to the Team .

Yes Chappel did a very good job by throwing Ganguly out of the team.\nNo Ganguly does not deserves a spot in the team.

Not at this moment as his form is not good enough. He scored only 6 today and that’s not the best of him. But he is capable and need quality time to be in the groove again. On the other part he is a born leader, as I had known him closely when I was a junior in our college St.Xaviers and I can assure you all that he will be back, but not now, not at least as a makeshift replacement. \nBut I agree with you that his sheer presence is needed if India has to have a chance to de something in the World Cup. \n\nA talented (you cannot deny that) mean person who cares only about him and nothing else heads this present team. Remember our present captain was not even considered to be agile enough (He was the Mr. Go Slow for all the other teams) to be a part of the national team in the ODI's. It was Ganguli who came up with the idea to play him as a wicket-keeping batsman, just to accommodate him in the team. He knew that there was talent and it was just quality time that was needed at that point of time. That’s captaincy, that’s friendship and that’s team spirit. And what was the return that he got in his difficult times, from the person whom he defended so vigorously? The sheer prospect of getting the captains band revealed his true character and he stabbed Ganguli from the back at the first opportunity he got. He and his coach together with some of the selectors then tactfully slaughtered Jaheer, Nehra, Balaji, Laxman, kumble for no reason at all. (You can add Irfan, Yuvraj and Harbhajan in this list as they are the next) They destroyed the team, they destroyed the spirit, and they destroyed the passion that we had after a long long time. We will never again see an Indian arrogant enough to wave his shirt from a balcony at the heart of London, nor we will ever see the wonderful moments that we all had during the amazing run that we had during his tenure. Everything is lost and it will never come back again. There are broken hearts everywhere and it can never be mended. Viva the Captain, Viva the coach; you are successful enough to push us back to the stone ages. \n  \nFor someone’s sources in the forum – We are not dirty niggers and we do not care if you hate us all at Lancashire as long as we have the courage to defend our Motherland. This is what happened in actual and trust me more people will be proud to be associated with such person who can do that at point blank and end up hated rather than submitting pride for our nation before foreigners to be loved.
