Birbal3 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 But you are allowed to stay on as captain... It kinds shows that India have reached West Indian proportions in terms of lack of leaders... Steve Waugh was shown the ODI door when Australia crashed out the champions trophy in 2002...but here we REWARD Dravid... And why? because he led brilliantly or even competently? No because of TINA.... :mad: :mad: :mad: Link to comment
sm332 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments.... As was clearly stated ... there was not better option available at this stage. Who would you suggest as a cappo from the current crop. Link to comment

Inside_edge Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments.... Ya thats the reward for a free from politics, highly dedicated, hard working professional who has made the country proud by being instrumental in myriad Indian wins . There are a rare few of such characters in Indian cricket. I'd root for such a guy at top despite his shortcomings during fledgling years. Link to comment
Cricketics Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments.... ^^^ exactly.. @Birbal whom would u have given captaincy as u r critic to Dravid. Link to comment
Mandrake Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments.... BCCI babus might be dense but even they have realized that there was no better option.....was a no brainer Link to comment
DesiChap Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments.... For once they do something sensible now here we are questioning everything and anything under the sun Link to comment
novpj Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments.... yea what was the other option selfish players like SRT and ganguly or upcoming youngsters whose ego has already impacted their game like Sehwag and Yuvraj. All the facts suggest that Dravid plays hard and plays for India and not for himself - these are the qualities we need in a leader if we want juniors to imbibe them. Link to comment
Chaos Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments.... novpj, dont facking say sachin is selfish, PROVE ur comments. Link to comment
jf1gp_1 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments.... look at the options sachin/ganguly making them captain was a giant step back. Sehwag/yuvraj are not ready for captaincy. BCCI made the right choice but even i wanted to see a new captain. I wish they had taken a bold step and thrown the challenge at one of sehwag or yuvraj even Dhoni. Link to comment
yoda Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments.... shows how pathetic the rest of the options are, doesn't it? we have guys who are barely holding into their places based on recent comebacks and the last thing they deserve is captaincy. we have guys have who have failed in the past and don't deserve it going forward. we have guys who still play irresponsibily even after playing for the country for so many years and have yet to put together decent scores and helping the country win test matches.

DravidDaBest Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments.... Dravid captains the team like a Aus or SA. Unfortunately he has a team with minnow team mentality Its more of a team not supporting the captain for variety of reasons like age, ego, zonal politics, external factors like ads etc. If persisted with Dravid and given right environment, India will be better in the long run Link to comment
jf1gp_1 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments.... i wonder if anyone will even be dropped. i see the world cup XI going to BD. Link to comment
DravidDaBest Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments.... Following will be dropped Sehwag Harbajan Uthappa (50-50) Following will get a chance Raina Kaif Powar Link to comment

Unfortunately he has a team with minnow team mentality Could you explain this further. I sort of see what you are trying to say but would like to hear more. Link to comment
jf1gp_1 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments.... i doubt sehwag will be dropped. he played much better compared to dhoni,uthapa, sachin even ganguly. Link to comment
yoda Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments.... i wonder if anyone will even be dropped. i see the world cup XI going to BD. A "young" team led by an experienced captain will be going to BD according to the BCCI announcement. Link to comment

You know what i dont want ganguly or sachin dropped. i just cannot see another ganguly/sachin dropping issue reach our parliament. Idiots jumping up and down even if it means putting back our development plans by a year or so. let both of them fade away. Link to comment
kumble_rocks Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Re: Lose In First Round of Two HUGE ICC Tournaments.... Birbal Saheb speaks with an agenda . He was never happy with Dravid for playing the "Et Tu Brutus" part in ousting Ganguly. He has been waiting for Dravid to fail , in my opinion. And he uses Chappell as an excuse to mask his hatred for Dravid. Link to comment

There are a rare few of such characters in Indian cricket. I'd root for such a guy at top despite his shortcomings during fledgling years. for thsi very reason he should remain a lietunent not general.. but seems it's season of bestowing favours for good deeds of past leadership role fiasco can go to drain Link to comment
