50 partnership b/w veeru and Dravid taking India to 98..If they add up another 50 runs for India than India will definately win the game.

I hope not, but you never know. Also, I doubt it because there is no one else. Who do you give it to? Sachin again? I don't think they would, plus he is not in form. Ganguly? Highly unlikely. The only other player is Kumble (not going to be around for ODI), and no other person who is well established and in enough form to warrant it.

Hmm, I might have to rely on Dhoni to see me through a pressure situation? Mumbai Test immediatly springs to mind.
Let's see. Hopefully Yuvi can stick around for a bit.

What the hell, India were 8/15 favourites with some bookie before that wicket...

Didn't Kapil Dev want Dhoni?
I don't think Dravid is a bad captain per say (not great but not bad) but a really good captain could do wonders for Indian cricket because to me, other than a couple of years under Ganguly, they have always looked like a loose collection of warring individuals rather than a cohesive team.

Again - the question is one of replacement. Who is in the team right now that could take over? I can't think of a single name.Didn't Kapil Dev want Dhoni?

Drvis MUST play a captain's innings now, Yuvraj need to come up with his best too.Alot depends on these two, if they come up with a good partnership then India can chase the total.
Dhoni might have to play a vital role in this innings.

A guess you are right about the short term but longer term is there anyone who stands out in domestic cricket ?

People were saying the same when Ganguly was removed.

Situation is different as there were senior players who could take over. Tendulkar could have taken over, so could Kumble. Now, neither of them are realistic options and none of the new ones are established yet.
Again - who would it be?

You can't pick a captain from someone who is still in domestic cricket!
