^^ on the pretext of motivating him.. sure you motivate but do we need a captain to be motivated the day before the test. Are the selectors jokers who selected him if he needs motivation?
Problem with us is that we just care of present. The guy is not doing well, kick him. I see all the past players now talking about Ganguly all of a sudden. Everyone now says he has flaws from start. Where were they 1 year back. 2 yr back?? Mr azhar came on TV and said well that what greg says is right.what is his own credibility. All these guys who are coming on tv and making claims have themselves been criticized by the team in past and by ganguly in particular for being irresponsible(and they were...) so now they see a good time to get back.
I am not saying don't remove ganguly. Remove him but give him some respect. Cos in 2 months you will have to get him back period. We know our team. The same channels which are after him will in 2 months start covering his county 100's and ranji 100's and start saying why is he out and will start saying dravid is a failure(if he becomes captain) Dravids record as captain anyway is poor.
About sehwag.. firstly if he makes 2-3 half centuries in 25 matches doesn't mean he deserves the place. His technique has bigger flaws. he can't take short pitch and on the body balling. And on seaming tracks he is yet to proove himself .(I am talking ODI's.. don't confuse the two) Even when he has made triple hundreds he was dropped 5 times. In australia in his 195 knock he was dropped on 16(or something) a sitter catch. With sehwag you always have 90% chance of getting out. He is as unpredicatble as they come. Is that what you want from openers? But he will retain his place cos we DONOT have anyone to replace him. Others are even worse.(actually on the match winning logic, afridi is the best match winner.. he fires, match over,, but his still dropped all the time)
If there is anyone out there that plays for country its dravid, sachin(earlier atleast he did,, now not sure) kaif.. with these guys you know they giving 100%. Most of the ballers do also.
point is we donot have any others to take their place unlike australia and greg is thinking this is australia.
