Sorry to jump in to others' exchange, but you Fraz made it personal by bringing in 'nationality' and 'racist' in the vocabulary here. You have too many problems, insecurities and agendas, beyond cricket, to be posting on this Board. :) I suggest you give up your obsession with other peoples nationalities and find other forums to take up your agendas with your insecurity with your nationality - whatever that may be.

Let's stick to things in the context of cricket here. Even though they might be passionate and emotional but it should revolve around cricket and the way it's played and controlled etc. :) 8-)

I remember last time you said something along those lines it really turned round and made you look silly.

Anyone else going to go for 3-1 India? ;)

Still bitter are we, never mind- try washing your mouth with lemon juice it may take away the sour taste in your mouth.

I don't think Sachin will be playing in the series 'cause of the elbow, atleast that's wahat it said on cricinfo. So not having the lil master is not a good thing. Also I have a statement. They should take Ganguly of captaincy, I think Rahul would do much better....

What! And undo all the good work both he and John Wright have done as a team? That would do more harm than good. What the Indians least need atm is for massive changes, that should be done after the series (if needed).

i see Ganguly as a strong captain who can keep the team together.

I've noticed that a few people have said that they would like him to go, is that due to batting form or is it because of his influence on the team.

Do you think dravid wants the captaincy and do you think it could affect his form.

I think many people want Ganguly to go because they're uncomfortable with his strong style of leadership. It's not a typical Indian quality.
Regarding Dravid, I'm sure he would take the captaincy and do the best he could if he was given it, but I don't think he would WANT the captaincy himself. To me, it seems as if he's better off assisting the leader quietly and doing his thing rather than leading everyone.

Yes, but it is a quality that has made them a strong side of late, especially overseas. To cut Ganguly after just one test loss would be a bit drastic IMHO.

I sure hope there are no changes at the top. Ganguly has been a good captain for India and John Wright has also done a great job. There are rumours that Gavaskar has been brought in to undermine Wright's power. I sure hope that is not the case.

You know what , I guess They should stick with Ganguly for sure . Guy's own batting has been effected too due to captaincy . Players have faith in him and I guess IMO he is cleanest captain from India .Remember what happened after Azharuddin departured . Dravid and Tendulkar are the other potential candidates but I dont feel they can be as effective as it has been proved before . I remember some one said something about Zaheer Khan's laziness . Spot on , Kumble aint that effective any more though he is one of my favourite bowlers for sure .. Yuvraj guy and Sehwag are ineffective most of the times . I guess rather than wasting the talent of Kaif , should give him more tests .
Its not the captain himself its just the resources that he has .. I still rate Ganguly as world's third best captain , Offcourse after Atapatu and Ponting .
yeah if the options are clear in front of you then they should go for change .But if we have to chose from Dravid , Tendulkar and Ganguly , Then why not stick with Ganguly ..
The only person who seems to be fulfilling the expectations of the captain seems to be Pathan . Wicket keeping is a little bit headache too . Opening is becoming a problem . Ganguly should be there as an opener IMO . One player they are missing out is Sadgoppan Romesh though his legs dont move well but he definately got timing .... I wonder if Sehwag is tried out some where down the order . And also Coaching should be changed after a certain period of time ....

^Ah yes, I agree - I don't think Ganguly should be discarded. He's the best India have right now.

wow Fraz, you make some really good points there. I wonder why sometimes you go off track?

Good point about Sadagoppan Ramesh. IMO he was unfairly dropped. He was playing very well when he was left out due to injury. Since then, he hasn't been able to force his way into the team. I remember he played very well in the tour game against NZ last year. He also played very well in Australia in the tour games. He may not have great footwork but he did score runs more often than not.
