Sourav Ganguly should be the captain of the Indian Team.
Sourav Ganguly was the best Indian captain ever. Rahul is getting to be the worst. He has no guts and is like Chappel's right hand man. Though it's still premature to say that Sourav should be the captain cause he just came into the team. But I feel that Rahul has no right to be a captain and just helping India's downfall. He is just a good batsman but as a captain he SUCKS big time. What do you guy's say!

How can you say Rahul is a bad captain??? When India won 17 matches on a trot chasing, everyone was praising him like anything. Now the same people are discouraging him.

Re: Sourav Ganguly should be the captain of the Indian Team.
hey Wizrulz, are you Greg Chappel in disguise. It seems so . It was he who used politics and put the blame on Saurav. Give me an instance where Saurav used politics. And your last WHAT IF seems to be the biggest joke of the lot. Do you watch any cricket at all? If I may remind you its Sachin who performs well when India doesnt win and not the other way round.

You are completely wrong, and here is why!
1) Who in the hell is scoring runs?
2) Who is a good fielder in the team except Kaif and Yuvraj?
3) No Indian batsman can play as good on bouncy pitches like they do in the subcontinent
4) He has never used politics
5) I guess no one is contributing to the Indian team consistently!

Guys let's stop this fight. No use fighting over this issue and developing bad feelings among ourselves. Anyway all of us know that he wont be the captain in the near future for sure.

Re: Sourav Ganguly should be the captain of the Indian Team.
But that's no reason to have several topics with different headings discussing essentially the same thing. 
BTW, I don't know about what happens in the dressing room but Rahul Dravid is a good captain on the field. His bowling choices are generally spot-on and he sets up the field well. Plus, being a calm headed and sincere person, he commands the respect of the players in the opponent team and the umpires. When Ganguly was there, on-field scuffles used to escalate and generally resulted in some sort of fine or ban, but you should see Dravid handling matters. Granted, this is a very minor trait and is not directly related to captaincy, but then so are the off-field politics.
The only difference between Dravid and Ganguly is that Ganguly is very bold, while Dravid is humble. But being bold is not necessarily always a good thing either. In my humble opinion, Rahul Dravid is a very good player and captain and is (in most respects) equal to Ganguly, who is an excellent captain too.

Re: Sourav Ganguly should be the captain of the Indian Team.
Being bold is always necessary, especially at the international level. Just take a look at the aussies. Have you ever found them humble. Yet they are the ones who win matches.

Re: Sourav Ganguly should be the captain of the Indian Team.
Ganguly was only good at collecting trophies while the work was done by dravid(specially)/kumble/harbhajan/sehwag/tendulkar.
Ganguly has never won a single match on his own atleast in tests.All his major victories in Australia/England/Pakistan were scripted by dravid and co.
I would also not like to have a captain who runs away seeing green-top on the morning of a test,like he did in nagpur in 2004.
And yes,he's more of a politician thats why we seem running buddhadeb bhattacharya for every single reason.He even went to arun jaitely for support.
This time also he's back b'coz CPI-M has put pressure on pawar to include him.
Also Ganguly's record since 2004 is far worser than dravid,which is why our team lost twice to kenya in that period and were at no:8 in rankings..

It really amazes me how sourav ganguly or anyone of his supporters can even justify or ask for his inclusions when even medium pace bowlers can bounce him out..
Yesterday Messiah-1 got out first ball and we will only see a repeat performance from messiah-2 in test
