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.A question for the Indian fans on the board. Do you think Dravid's captaincy is on line in this match?
Sehwag gone, oh dear.

Didn't Kapil Dev want Dhoni?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.

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?
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.
A guess you are right about the short term but longer term is there anyone who stands out in domestic cricket ?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.
People were saying the same when Ganguly was removed.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.
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.People were saying the same when Ganguly was removed.
You can't pick a captain from someone who is still in domestic cricket!A guess you are right about the short term but longer term is there anyone who stands out in domestic cricket ?
