Should Dravid be dropped as captain?

I never try to put people down but you have forced me to do so. How can you ask a moronic question like this? This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Dravid is one of the most respectable cricketers around and he is a good captain.\n\nAre you still sulking about Ganguly's omission. Are you jealous that Dravid may achieve a better win/loss record that Ganguly? Ganguly had his glorious time, and it's not good to stretch it beyond than that. It would have only resulted in humiliation.

A CAPTAIN SHOULD BE AGGRESIVE.\nBUT \nSHOULD NOT BE ABUSIVE.\nHE LOST THE RESPECT FROM QUITE A NUMBER OF FANS WHO LOVED LARA BEYOND NATIONALITY.\nA REPUTED CRICKETER NEED NOT BEHAVE LIKE THAT.

I absolutely agree with you. Ganguly should be on the team if Sehwag is. I guess there are a lot of politics in the dressing room that we don't know about.

If our Cricket board can get rid of these grave politics, there is no reason why a worldclass player like Sourav cannot represent his nation in Worldcup.\nHow can we forget that we proceeded to the finals of the last WorldCup under his Captaincy?\nWe should always choose the best team for reaching the ultimate goal, and I think Sourav will fit the slot by his own charisma.

The problem lies with BCCI and its selection committee. Wrong selection of players and inability to develop players for fast, bouncy foreign pitches. Poor performance of Dravid as a captain.

1) Over confidence\n2) Greg Chapple did to break all the players confidence\n3) changes made loss of confidece\n4) Dravid failed as a captain and with greg chapple\n5) Greg Chapple has to go \n6) Give these palyer base salary kind of things and if he is batsman then what he make runs depends on that it has to pay the money not by the palyer in team only\nIf he is a bowler then if he get wickets then paid them and if take more then 3 wickets give them bonus so player can have intrest paly.\nHere they paid lots of money without they doing anything\nget penalty if they don't play properly

I believe Dravid is a greater batsman because he has led india to many victories & has got india out of trouble a lot of times.Tendulkar hasn't won us that many games as he could have.Also Dravid is selfless,doesn't chase records & is a way better captain than Tendulkar was.

Yes,Gangully is a better player than other player's like Sreesanth, R.P.Singh, Raina etc. He is the most successful captain than Dravid and other captains. The selector's and captain Rahul Dravid give no chance to Gangully for doing better. They are saying that there is no need for Gangully.But he is made the Team India. I think he is enough capability to return cricket. The captain and selector's not give chance because he is a Bengali boy.But one day will when bengali's are ruled in India then they see the selector's and the other community. I think and whished that Gangully will return to Indian Team like a Tiger of Bengal.

Yes it will.\n\nBut need to do more for win by INDIA.\n\nWhat?\n\n\nRESPONSIBILITY HAS TO GO ALONG WITH ACCOUTABILITY.\n\nHOW?\n\nDRAVID be removed from CAPTAINCY and ODI-Why?\n\nThe worst captain- \ncould not control SA from 6 wicket down for 76; finally SA made 275. \nAny 18yrs child can do better job.\n\nHe made 63 in 103 balls and it is equvalent of 184 in 50 overs. This means he played for his retaintion in the team but not for win of INDIA. \nHE SCORED +50 for 63 but SCORED (NEGETIVE) -100 for playing TEST Match in ODI. \n\nThe net score of dravid is (negative)-50. This means he can play TEST but he shall be removed from ODI side of INDIA.\n\nShri DHONI be made CAPTAIN- Why?\n\n\nHe scored 55 in 48 balls, this is equivalent to 344 runs in 50 overs. Therefore he played for win of INDIA. HE GOT 50 FOR SCORING 55, and 100 FOR PLAYING FOR WIN OF INDIA and not mere for his retaintion in the team.\n\nTHEREFORE DHONI WITH 150 MARKS OUT OF 100 WILL THE CAPTAIN IN THE NEXT ODI\n\nShri DRAVID WITH (-)50 SCORE SHALL BE DROPPED FROM ODI AND RESERVED FOR TEST ONLY.\n\n\nThis is one example.\n\nWhat others?\n\npay proportion to performance\n\nif team win alright, if not remove 2 bat'mn, 2 blrs, 1 all rounder, keeper (if did badly).\n\nif could not win series;\nremove captain, coach, selectors, BCCI, \nMake a fresh selection of the team.\n\nIT WILL CERTAINLY WORK.

I am surprised to note that all people are asking for the head of the Coach for the poor performance of Indian Team and no one is blaming the players.   If the players do not perform to their potential even if God comes as Coach of Indian Team, things will not change.\n\nDo people demand for the head of Coach think that players like Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid need the coaching.  If such players having vast experience in international cricket having played in all surfaces cannot bat through 20 or 30 overs, can their failure be attributed to the coach.\n\nI strongly feel that the fault lies with the players for their non performance and they should be made accountable for their failure rather than blaming anybody else.

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...

All scholars are not good teacher the same way a good player does not mean a good captain. Sachin had his try and during his time the team wasn't that good and even he failed to make a mark as a captain and on top of it, people like Azhar and Jadeja were deciding the results of the match. Let Sachin be a player, there is already enough pressure on him and he plays an imp. role in strengthening the team. It's certainly not the end of his era he still has lot to deliver

THIS IS OUR FATE..\nIF SOMEONE LIKE CHAPPEL COME FORWARD TO REGULATE INDIAN TEAM TOWARDS VICTORY,A LOT OF CRITICS ARISE AND CRITICIZE HIM...!\nIF HE THINK SACHIN IS NOT FIT FOR TEAM, ONLY HE CAN WRITE IT TO BCCI OR SELECTORS PANEL.THATS ALL.\nHE CANT INFLUENCE THEM.\nIN SOURAV'S MATTER THIS ONLY HAPPENED.THOSE WHO WAITING FOR OPPORTUNITY USED THAT VERY WELL.

Nah, I don't think so. Ganguly has been a mediocre performer who shows flashes of brilliance, so maybe we should try and pick up a brilliant player rather than a flashy one.\n\nHe is also said to arrogant and does not jell well with the players.\nst

I would like to drop virender sehwag.He is not in a good form.Ganguly should be in the team and should open the innings with uthhapa.

2 MEN ENOUGH.\nDHONI AS MAIN WK.\nDINESH KARTHIK AS RESERVE.\nIN CASE OF EMERGENCY, DRAVID WILL MANAGE.

He can be given another chance to be among the players but shouldn't be the captain as Dravid is the smartest and luckiest captain.
