Should Rahul Dravid replace Sourav Ganguly ?
This is a million dollar ( or Rupees, I should say ) question which is haunting everybody associatedwith Indian cricket, be it players, selectors , supporters, sponsors or just plain and simple Indian fans.

The final result of the team does not depend on the performance of the captain alone , at the same time, captain needs to see and take care of other aspects carefully to achieve victory.
Personal opinion varies but during a talk show in Dubai, former Pakistan captain Wasim Akram remarked that Sourav is a wrong choice and India should correct the mistake by replacing Sourav by Rahul. The former left-arm pacer made it clear that it is not personal but simply from the game of cricket angle , he said, “I have always backed Sourav, but this time around he looked pretty ordinary out there in Zimbabwe where India is playing a Test series. There is nothing wrong if he is changed. This I am saying purely on cricketing grounds.”
Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer, who was also in the panel, said he felt Indians should start believing in themselves.
But Navjot Singh Sidhu , cricketer-turned-commentator-cum-politician, was not in favor of captaincy change. Keeping in mind India’s defeat in the tri-nation tournament in Sri Lanka,where Rahul Dravid was captain, Navjot Singh Sidhu pointed out, “That’s being too harsh on Ganguly. Don’t mistake emotions for progress. Dravid was given a chance to lead the team, but the result was the same. A change in the captaincy is not the solution. The solution lies in the mindset of players. They have got to change their thinking, be more positive and believe in their abilities.â€Â

i think that the selecting committee is a fool to replace sourav with dravid. ganguly is a great player and the statistics says it all.Rahul is definately a good player but dada is not the dada for nothing.The selecting comittee should be replaced by responsible members like shashtri,gavaskar and kapil
