yup! moreso,in polls you always find who's more popular rather than who's better..otherwise dacoits like phoolan devi,arun gawli would not have been winning the elections...but IIM/IIT graduates

Re: Sourav Ganguly should be the captain of the Indian Team.

The reason I am supporting Sourav for captaincy is based upon the following points :-

1) He is India's greatest left handed batsman and captain of all times ( Can anybody defy me!)

2) Rahul is just a good player but his captainship prowess is pea-sized. His victories has captain has come against minnows, oppositions having the main player's missing and mostly series on the subcontinent itself. When his bowlers are battered all over the field, he stands in the same position, having an expression like he his having an stomach ache. He doesn't motivate anyone and is an ineffective leader.

3) Sourav has lead this same team in South Africa, on this same pitches to World Cup finals. He has won a series in Pakistan and levelled the Aussies on their home turf.

4) Those who are whining about Sourav being prone to short pitched stuff, I would say that if his records are taken into consideration, then the whole world cannot bowl bouncers ;)

Re: Sourav Ganguly should be the captain of the Indian Team.

Did you guys listen to that American-in-a-South-African-kit's advice to the Indian team after their 4-0 whitewash?

"Dig a hole in the ground and bury themselves or spread out bars of soap in the South African dressing room, hoping that they might slip and injure themselves." (Something along these lines - I can't remember his exact verbage)

Pretty funny actually. :D

Dada's inclusion is justified. Choosing him as the captain is not.

Re: Sourav Ganguly should be the captain of the Indian Team.

no ur spot on soumya.In fact he is better than gary sobers...simply because sobers was just a great all rounder but not a captain.

I fell,just like you,that sourav is the best left-handed batsman of all time ahead Lara,Graeme Pollock,and ofcourse gary sobers..

Thats precisely why we want mods to launch a seperate section dedicated to sourav..

Re: Sourav Ganguly should be the captain of the Indian Team.

He cannot be made captain because he is struggling to get back in the team.What the other players will think about that.unfortunately dravid is the only option for captaincy even though he is not aggressive in his thinking.What about kumble as a test captain.he is an intelligent old guy

I disagree with you :-

1) Most of the players come into the category of ''was''.....like rahul, sehwag, sachin....i mean like rahul ''was'' most consistent, sachin ''was'' the greatest batsman, india ''was'' a good team...etc etc

2) west indian team was a minnow.....their icc ranking shows that! even a ranji team could have beaten them!! ;)

3) a good leader can do wonders and create some sort of motivation by understanding the needs of his subordinates ( i was reading a good mangement book!)

4) everyone's forms have gone..... evryone has weaknesses like rahul is one of the worst odi players in the true sense....a shitty strike rate! sachin has his weakness to a good ball pitched just outside offstump........sehwag is much much weak on his leg side ( his feet doesn't move)

Re: Sourav Ganguly should be the captain of the Indian Team.

rahul is still consistent he may not make runs for 5-10 matches but dada and viru failed to score for 2-1/2 years.

Re: Sourav Ganguly should be the captain of the Indian Team.

I don't buy the fact that dravid is a bad odi player.He has been india's best batsman,both in odi's,for the last 5 years and still is.

He has improved his odi game a lot and even has a 23-ball fifty against new-zealand..his strike-rate is 70.02 against dada's 73.2!!;)

This shows that dravid scores his runs as quickly as dada on almost all occasions..

As for sachin,yes he is not as consistent as in 2003,but he is and will always remain india;s best batsman(and 2nd greatest of all time after bradman and alongwith lara) of all time.:cool: ;)

Sachin has 27/35 centuries in test in which india has not lost and 28/40 in odi's in which india has won..total 55 centuries in india's good cause...

Is there anyone who can beat that?i even in next 50 yrs?

Also in current season sachin has done better than everyone with a avg of 40!
