Everything is not fine in present Indian cricket team and as everyone know's, Dravid-chapell combination doesn't seem to be working for now and maybe ganguly-chappell might work at this time as both of the are eager to prove a point or so...what do you say? isn't this interesting..

GregChapell has to be blamed forall these as most of tehdecisions these day's are taken by Greg and not Dravid as we think and to tell you, Dravid is not an aggressive captain like saurav and he is very mild an dtaking each and every decision from Greg and this what has backfired and some players are also frustrated of Dravid's captaincy which is full of Greg's decisions...
Anyway's, thanks for responding

Yes, you are absoultely right Mr.Addict.Chapell should not brink politics into sports and he not only ruined Ganguly but also players like Irfan Pathan , Zaheer and all.But zaheer khan came back in full form and Irfan is seen struggling still.So, chapell should be removed first for teh bettetment of indian cricket.

Yes there is lack of aggressiveness in Indian skipper Rahul Dravid. And being a sportsman i personally think a captain without aggresiveness is of no worth. Ganguly should be the captain once again and after his retirement Yuvraj Singh is the best choice.

Everything is fine with Indian-cricket team and as well with dravid-chapell combination, as team wins, not the combination. Im seeing every second person talk about dravid, ganguly or chappell.
You all i think forget the match when ganguly happen tobe captain and india loses the match. Just count the matches.
Any personal liking with player does'nt help the Indian Cricket team. Just think, who can be the best, rather then making the environment for ganguly. I say he is not fit for Ranji and you are talking about international matches. can this change the standard of internatinal matches and performance of ganguly which i also perfer, just give him time to perpare for worldcup rather then talking alot about him.

It is not about the combinationa s you said but it is all about confidence, form etc.Confidence matters everywhere and if a captain is not confident then how can he perform isn't it? here, dravid seems to have lost form and it is definitely effecting team india and meanwhile ganguly seems to have found his lost touch and this might help team india for sure...

Rightly said, look at Ganguly now and compare him with Dravid and itseems that Dravid is succumbing to pressure these day's and not ganguly and this is directly reflecting on his captainship also .Sourav was teh highest run getter in south africa and will the highest scorer in this one day series against west-indies also and might also be the indian star of the next world cup...justw ait and see...he has been criticised a lot and he has more things to prove and in coming day's he will go on scoring...just wait watch as this year will be Ganguly's and if presented him with captaincy, then he can definitely hekp out indian cricket team also..

you are right in your view as ganguly takes his confidence back while dravid loose at sametime but i think it is so early if we recall ganguly as i want ganguly to catch hold of his confidence, his performance so that he is must for world cup rather then play with lots of controveries.
I have feeling with ganguly so....no hard feeling due to him.
Who can say What happen in next hour? so be patient and lets the ganguly perform at his best.

I do agree that these combination is not working at this moment, simply because lot of the players are Out of form, If some of the players can get some form no body will ask questions about Chappel and Dravid combination. Because of this combination only INDIA made world record for successive chases, every body seems to forgot that very quickly. I think Greg is a great coach we should admire him, I think the only problem that team Team India is facing is Lack of Form, If they get some form Back every thing will be fine

I do agree to some of your views like many batsman are out of form and all those victories are brought in indian soil and not while playing abroad isn't it? india has to prove outside india and greg's chappels many decisions like playing youngters everywhere backfired and it has to be mentioned here that irfan pathan lost his touch just because of greg and no one else...

hey
sorry to just distract you but you know what i would like to say that now india is at the peak of its what we say bad form and it is not only that any of the one person is responsible for it.
whether the qestion is:
Q.should sourav be made the captain of the team?
Q.is sourav giving the team what people were expecting after his come back?
Q.sehwag is not playing good?
Q.tendulkar out of form?
Q.dravid took this or that decision wrong?
Q.the coach is not good?
Q.the coach is more a politician?
Q.wrong decision of the board of taking this bowler in the team whereas the other one was required?
Q.coach taking gangully case personal?
......
and many mre
do not you people think that all what is happening is not good and what these people are doing is just decreasing their world cup chances?
do not you think that it is not the problem with one person whole team is responsible?
wrong strategies,bad form...
what is this
is this what indian team has to show to the world that we are the one?

Dravid is out of form and it is reflecting everywhere as he is seen out of sorts in everything he does here and it is effecting the whole indian team and if he is replaced by the inform ganguky, this will benifit the indian cricket very well for sure and more over ganguly-chapell combination might work out well here....

it seems really impossible that one person is behind the downfall of Indian cricket team, but our "great coach" Greg Chappell has achieved this impossible task. I don't understand why is he so much intrested in politics of Indian cricket board rather than coaching the team. His cheap politics had almost ruined the career of Saurav ganguly however due to poor peformance of team India he is back in the team that too with a blast. I personally feel that he should be kicked out of the team as soon as the contract expires.

Greg Chapell has spoiled Indian cricket which was playing really good under John Wright isn't it? Actually Ganguly was the lone supporter for Chapell initially as others like Dravid, Sachin and company were in favour of bringing in Tom Moody as Indian coach.So, because of Ganguly chapell came into coach indian team and once he entered, first thing what he did was removing Ganguly from the captaincy and also from playing eleven and so, indian cricket was hurt a lot and now saurav has really made a strong come back.

Yes Dravid chappell combination doesn't work because dravid couldnot take right decision in the field.

Dravid looks to be over dependent on chapell and it is effecting his performance on captaincy and nowit started effecting his batting also.So, better replace dravid with ganguly and ganguly-chapell duo might create magic in coming years for sure.....

To make it work, dravid should be replaced first and it doesn't seem to be happening now.If it really happens and ganguly takes over the captaincy things might really look brighter now onwards and chapell also might operate litle different with ganguly for sure...
