Whether Dravid & Dinesh karthik dropped from the odi squad against pak is correct?

Question

Whether Dravid & Dinesh karthik dropped from the odi squad against pak is correct?

Answer 1

Why dravid is dropped ?Why not dhoni? or The great sachin?



It is fault of indian fans and media that sachin is given so many chances.He became grate player not because of his batting but because of fans and media for backing him up in his bad days.He used to pay one god innings for one season then play 60 runs max for the rest of seasons like what dravids stats are now.We have given sachin a lot of chance than any other player in country.



Dravid and ganguly are much better players in the India.You 'll not find technically sound player +wall like him again you can't find better aaggressive captain like ganguly.Look at the stats for these players and matches indian won more matches and set bigger records because of these two players.In 1999-2003 scored most top scores that not even pld indian players and new youngsters can't set up.remember match against srilanka in worldcup.Dravid and ganguly crossed 10,000 runs in just 9 years while tendulkar used more years than that he's still at 13-14000 runs.Let dravid and ganguly for their best and leave the team at 2009-10 so they can leave with satisfaction.Stand as better fan for these players.



Dravid and ganguly set a new trend for indian team,after 1996 india won more matches than nefore.Fans used to look at our team as strong now.Before that we used to fear for teams like england,NZ,SA and AU.But now we can beat any team & can get beaten by any.Wining in 20-20 and 50-50 is diffrent and three seniours get out of team for giving youngsters chance but youngsters are not ready fort he 50-50 as many of the new players can;t handle media critics as our seniors can.That is the reason many players are switching to ICL.



Yes Dravid should be dropped for these reasons:

1.Playing for country,shufflinf his own batting order for sachin and yuvraj.

2.Doing wicket keeping while there was need.

3.Doing captaincy while ganguly was out of form & much aggressive towards his team players.

4. Bowling for team and picking up wicket and win match against SA.



Dravid was supposed to be selfish than playing good innnings.Now i think e should play for himself not for team anymore the people in our country are rude only back up those players who can hit 6-sixes or guys like sachin/dhoni etc.



Many sachin fans are anfry on dravid for stopping sachin from amking his 200 against Pakistan.even if they win that match because of that decision.Ganguly fans are angry as they think dropping ganguly out.But those decisions were not of dravid,but selectors and chappel used him in that time.Even sachin is agree with that.



In india we follow the media reports and that makes bad perspective towards our players.Channel like NDTV and aaj tak talk aggressively for dravid,gabguly and other players.They alwasy back up dhoni,sehwag,sachin no matter how they play.





My suggestion:Don't fall victim to media banners like "Match ka apradhi kaun?" or "Third umpire" etc.Don't get into critics debate for indian team.It's not so easy being indian cricket player.

Answer 2

b. Wrong decision. Droping Dravid and taking Shewag its a foolish decision by the selectors. Now Dinesh Karthik has proved his mettal, what Selectors are going to do?

Answer 3

c.well the dropping of dravid is not correct he must be there in the team just due to the failure of one series in not the reason to drop him......he is the back born of the indian cricket team so he must be there in the team n he will come back......

rest about dinesh kartik he is a youngstor eh will get his form n he has get yeaterday in the final of challenger trophy he scored a ton so it will be tough for prathiv to come back into the squad........

Answer 4

dravid is A grade player and time for dravid to proove board selection is wrong to select sehwag

Answer 5

Rahul Dravid has indeed been dropped from the Indian side for the first two ODIs against Pakistan. Dinesh Kaarthick has also been dropped from the side in the Indo-Pak ODI series. So its (a).

(c) It seems Rahul Dravid is getting a taste of his own medicine after his quiet machinations in connivance with coach Greg Chappell and chief selector Kiran More which resulted in Dravid's elevation as captain with Sourav Ganguly being discarded from the Indian team.

Incidentally, Ganguly in the past, as Indian skipper, had proved himself to be a benefactor of an out of form Dravid, by having him retained in the Indian side as the wicket keeper, when Dravid's batting prowess deserted him. Dravid conveniently forgot such acts of kindness when he became skipper and did everything in his power to keep Ganguly out of the team, so that his captaincy was never under challenge from Indian cricket's most successful captain ever.

The wheel has since turned full circle. While Ganguly finds his rightful place in the Indian team, Dravid is dumped because of a string of poor performances in the recent past. And Dravid's supporters are shouting hoarse to include him on the string of his good past performances.

How does it feel to have a taste of your own bitter medicine, Mr. Rahul Dravid? Cool your heels for a while and hopefully return to the team, a much chastened and better human being. You can include this experience when you plan to write your memoirs.

About Dinesh Kaarthick, the entire point in including youngsters is to make a good Indian team with talented new comers. No point in returning a man, who after having been given reasonable chances to prove his mettle, has failed to prove himself. Kaarthick's exclusion is definitely in order. There are far too many talents on the sidelines.

Answer 6

well u seem to be too much against Dravid friend!!!!!!

but as far as the selectors r concerned i smtimes feel they have got sm ill feelings for Rahul Dravid!!!!!!!!!

its rediculous to see just 5 poor games & hes out

& look who has got in Virender Sehwag!!!!!!!!!!

what a joke????hes failing everytime he is given chance

& for the record rahul dravid has got a better avg than Dhoni in last 15 or so one dayers!!!!!

& as far as Karthic is concerned i feel its correct to out him

Answer 7

Its a poor decision.

Answer 8

dinesh kartik is ok but why RAHUL DRAVID, fOR your information he is the technically best player of the current team.

Answer 9

may not he is senior player, but now a time i think its good decision, dravid only suitable for test matches

Answer 10

Yes, we have to phase out the trio, but, one by one and in the slow but steady pace. Someone (Dravid) has to go out because he is in the poorest form among the trio. In between (of phase out period) the youngstors has to fit them well. After all we have to be serious about the future. Over & above I feel Sachin is still the best amoung all the batssman, so no question of phasing out in next 2 years.

Answer 11

(a). Correct!

(c). Because there are so many youngsters who are waiting for a chance to play for India. Need to be fair to them as well. No need in sticking to an individual player if he is out of form. After all, it is a team sport!

Answer 12

c. I don't understand the hue & cry over dropping Dravid. There are so many youngsters waiting in the wing to prove themselves. We have to look into the future where Dravid is no longer an option. He has already done India proud so many times, let others also be given a chance to do the same. I think Dravid along with Sachin and Ganguly should retire from cricket voluntarily while the going is still good and thereby give youngsters a chance, rather than be thrown out of the team disgracefully. As far as Dinesh Karthik is concerned he should be given more chances

Answer 13

For Dravid Ya. See, Rahul is great player and u need him against Australia in Australia and in all sots of test matches. We've always seen that a big player when makes his come back he comes with a bang. Well if u leave all the emotions aside u'll see that series against Australia is more important than Pakistan. I think Rahul is just dropped from the ODIs and not the test side. Its good to give a player a break when a player is not in his best of form and give the chance to a youngster, after all Rahul, sachin & Sourav are just for 2 more years maximum.Apart from that this is what you call Rotation policy.

I also think at the place of Dinesh Karthick, Rohit Sharma could have been given a break and instead of Praveen kumar, Suresh Raina would have been a good choice. He also lift team's Fielding standards and he has an experience of international cricket. Apart from that u really do not see any place for Praveen kumar in the first 11 when u already have a n attck of 5 bowlers with either RP or Sreesanth sitting outside.

As far as Dinesh Karthik is concerned he should be given more chances

Answer 15

Droppin Dravid is perhaps the opening that a lot of youngers get to start playin in the team. Dravid is more than mature enough to understand the reasons for which he was dropped. He is sure to come back into the team after a while. Meanwhile we could groom some younger players to take the place of Dravid, Ganguly and Sachin when they finally decide to retire. He may be secretly happy about the outcome cause he has time to spend with his family now. The Indian cricketers hardly ever get any free time these days. Karthik has to work a bit harder on his temperament and his skills before coming back into the team... :)

Answer 16

I agree with the selectors. Dravid has lost his ODI form. He has scored at an average of 10 in last 10 marches. For a player of his calibre this is unacceptable. He should be made to sit out when his form has dipped so low.

I have a question to raise, when he has lost his touch and was going through a tough bad patch why wasn't he playing Challenger trophy? Hw would have got some match practice and possibly coould have regained his lost touch. Idea of resting seniors in Challengers was Ok if all the seniors were really doing well.

As far as Dinesh Karthik is concerned. He has performed in patches. He should be consistent to retain his spot in the team. Or else he will have to face axe intermittently, like he has this time.

Answer 17

No, Its not fair to drop the Dravid from the Indian squad. Because he is the player how can withstand for any situation when compared to other players. He is the one who work hard for the success of the Indian Team. When all the persons like Sachin, Sehwag and Ganguly fails he is the person who plays a long innings and building the partnerships with the other players which helps in winning of so many matches. As we all knows there is some what exception for the player like Sachin who was not going to perform good in some matches. Inspite of that also he was not out of the squad. Then why the selectors take the decision of droping the player like Dravid for the failure in one single series.

My opinion is that Dravid is the best player that I have seen ever. It is not fair to drop the Draivid (my hero)from the Pak series.

Answer 18

c) No. Dravid can never be told as a flop batsman. He had faired badly in only last 5- 10 one day matches. He is the most consistent batsman among his contemporaries and that too , when Indian team required his scoring. If the BCCI is basing their selection on 5- 10 ODI's, then Sachin and many others could have been out of the team long long before.

No need to worry of Dravid, since he will be in the team soon, as Indian cricket team cannot dispense with him so soon.

As for Karthick, He is also a talented player and can be tried for some more time.

Answer 19

No I dont think that dropping Dravid is right thing. He is a very rare technical player not only in India but also in the world now. His technique is unquestionable. Failing in some matches is not the way to judge or doubt his talent. Dont we remember that he has played so many crucial innings to score runs for India and built up partnerships with other players. Senior players like Laxman, Dravid are always treated badly by Indian selectors. I dont understand what is the capability of Mr.Sehwag to take him into the team. He had not scored runs for India as opener long before the world cup. Even though he was selected for T20 world cup he was unable to prove his worth. But now he has been selected in our team by quoting that he is a dashing player. Who has seen his performance and where ? I feel very sorry for Dravid since he is a very sensitive person. He may be thinking of retirement from ODIs. If that will happen India will lose a great player for ODI team.

Answer 20

Yo... the options given are so biased. Dude just don't ask the question if you've already made up the answer and don't want to listen to anybody else.



As for dropping Dravid... there's simply no reason...



1. If Dravid was dropped due to performance issues.. maybe you should just have a look at the batting averages and the consistency of the OTHER senior players (who never get dropped).. YOU'LL GET YOUR ANSWER.



2. As for getting in new blood... don't we need experienced and technically sound players to teach youngsters.. afterall, how many matches can you win just on fresh talent. EXPERIENCE IS SOMETHING



3. With regard to the above, DRAVID is probably the only player who has been a consistent performer and can teach the young players a thing or two.



That said... the only reason I see in Dravid being dropped is the usual "POLITICS". He was wise enough to know that captaincy was hampering his as well as the team's performance and resigned. Maybe the selectors are too naive to understand such things and are happy to drop people just like dat!!

Answer 21

Yes 100% correct.

Underperformers should be OUT.

Let Karthick learn to be a better batsman & fielder.

As for Dravid,he is slow,cannot bowl and off late fielding not upto mark.Let him come back as Ganguli did.

For that matter both Sachin & Ganguli should be also be on their toes.The best have retired though still much more physically & mentally fit.

Can we imagine a tripple hundred from Sachin Or Dravid Or Saurav?Lara , Hayden and many on wrong side of thirty can still do so!

All our three seniors have served Indian Cricket very well and should now PARTICIPATE in shaping a young India team then drag their feet on the ground.Their rightful place is in Temple Of Cricket where we will all go and worship them.

The youngsters will respond to the right calls.

Answer 22

CALLED AS A WALL, HAD A FALL- DURING THE ODI SERIES AGAINST AUS.

NOW THERE ARE TWO THINGS : ONE THE ADVANTAGE, AND ANOTHER THE DISADVANTAGE.

FOR THE TEAM, IF HE DOES NOT SCORE RUNS, PRESSURE IS PILED ON THE PLAYERS.

IF HE IS INCLUDED IN THE TEAM, THE OPPOSITION IS UNDER PRESSURE.

RECENTLY THE PAK PLAYERS HAVE HEAVED A SIGH OF GREAT RELIEF WHEN THEY CAME TO KNOW OF DRAVID BEING DROPPED. NOW THIS CAN PLAY A PSYCHOLOGICAL ADVANTAGE TO THE OPPOSITION.



DRAVID DOES WASTE LOT OF DELIVERIES AND PUTS THE PRESSURE, IN FACT I SAY HE ADDS THE PRESSURE TO THE NEXT BATSMAN. THE REAL PRESSURE OF SCORING RUNS IS THE FIRST 15 OVER AND THE LAST 10 YEARS - THE PRESSURE IS LESS FROM 15-40 OVERS. THE NECESSITY OF HITS 4'S AND 6'S IS NOT THERE. BUT THE ROATATING OF STRIKE IS VERY IMPORTANT. ONE CAN EASILY PICK UP 1'S AND 2'S AND IF ANY BAD BALL COMES CAN BE TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF FOR A BIG HIT.

NOW DRAVID AN EXPERIENCED, TECHNICALLY SOUND, EVEN DOES NOT PICKS UP THOSE VALUABLE RUNS IN THE MIDDLE OVERS AND WASTES SO MANY DELIVERIES. HE SHOULD AND MUST PICK UP THOSE 1'S AND 2'S IN THE MIDDLE OVERS.



I FEEL IT WOULD BE BETTER TO INCLUDE HIM, TO BEAT THE OPPOSITION PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND MENTALLY. NO ONE KNOWS HE MAY STRIKE FORM AFTER PLAYING A GAME OR TWO IN PAKISTAN.

Answer 23

Dravid is more than mature enough to understand the reasons for which he was dropped. He is sure to come back into the team after a while. Meanwhile we could groom some younger players to take the place of Dravid, Ganguly and Sachin when they finally decide to retire. He may be secretly happy about the outcome cause he has time to spend with his family now. The Indian cricketers hardly ever get any free time these days. Karthik has to work a bit harder on his temperament and his skills before coming back into the team... :)

Answer 24

It is imptoper to drop players who are in current form. BCCI has sold its soul to Bombay cricket . There should be national body which should look after this. Sine there is considerable money involved BCCI has become corrupt and biased. Surely there is a conspiracy against Dravid. How come Agarkar is being considered time and again when he is a total failure and there are better bowlers in the country? Harbhajan is an ordinary off-spin bowler withm unsportish attitude and lewd behavior. Why is selected when he is a total misfit to the game of cricket? If steps in the right direction are bot taken the game will die in this country. Even now the viewer percentag is going down in leaps and bounds. Dhoni as a captain is good move and the concept of so called Senior Players should be dropped and competent players should be considered. BCCI should shift its Headquarters to other parts of the country and rest in Mumbai where money is the main criteria. Cricket commentators like Ravi Shastri shoul stop their PR work and comment on the game only and not promote players of their fancy. The whole situation stinks. God Help Indian Cricket.

Answer 25

I think dropping of Dravid from the ODI squad against Pak is fully correct. If the selectors include Dravid in the ODI squad then this thing is gives wrong message to other senior players like Sachin, Ganguly, Yuvraaj also and also weaken the batting line-up of Indian team. If Dravid is in the team, he will give unnecessary burden on the team. I don't understand the reason why Dravid is not taking part in the recently held "Challenger Trophy" or the ego-clash with the chief selector is the reason behind this thing. But, now it is the duty of Dravid that in the mid-time he should play in the domestic matches, Improves his fielding skills, keep practicing in the nets regularly. We all know this thing that he is a great player and have the ability to keep out of this lean patch & have the ability to bounce back. If Dravid show good performance in the Domestic Matches (scored runs, made big scores and improve his fielding skills as well) that he played, then the selectors must given him chance in the Test Series against Pakistan. We all know that matches against Pak is always a do or die situation matches and I don't want that inclusion of the Dravid in the ODI team and give a soft target to the Pak pace bowlers.



In the case of Dinesh Karthik, in my view Dinesh is a good test match player rather than an ODI player even when he scored a hundred in his last domestic match (Challenger Trophy). I think Dinesh need more time to shape his batting and fielding skills according to the need of the ODI games. Runs scored in domestic matches is totally a different issue comparatively than runs scored in an International match, where he faces quality fast bowlers and world class spinners like Brett Lee, Shoaib Akhtar ,Muttaih Muralitharan, which not has great bowling skills but at the same time maintained good line & length against these bowlers any batsman of the world arena faces tough problem to score runs whether it is in the Test Matches, ODIs or even in Twenty-20. In the international level he faces many tough teams like Australia, South Africa etc. where players are mentally stronger compare to other teams and players, which helps him to build himself mentally strong. If Praveen Kumar failed to show an impact on the selectors and doesn't show good performance in the Pak ODI series then the selectors given the opportunity to Dinesh in the upcoming Test Series against Pakistan and see what he does?

Answer 26

decision is very harsh on Mr.Wall. Dravid was useful as an opener, one down, two down, middle order, wicket keeper and so on and above all a brillian fielder. Team India utilised his might in all the slots. Selectors might not have gone deep his utilities. now when we face the greatest rival (Pak) and also the ball from the Pindi express things will be cleared. If at all selections wanted to keep him out there could have been a gentleman talk with him and convinced him to take voluntary break rather than humiliating him. Test matches and ODI are having a lot of differece when the selectors were the players. Let good coounsel prevail on our good cricket.

Answer 27

Well if we just go to the recent records of Rahul Dravid he is not performing well & needs some concentration. We all know him as the wall & dont want that he should be dragged out of the team as was done with Sourav Ganguly. So in my opinion Rahul must go through some domestic games take as much time he wants to get back the confidence & should make a strong come back. As we all know he is a strong fighter & a dependable person he will definately fight against his bad patch & will surely make a strong comeback very soon.



As far as Dinesh Karthik is concern he has performed well in many games where others have failed & he should have been given a chance to prove himself. He is also a good player & knows his responsibilities well. I think he should have made his place in the squad, its just a matter of luck that he is not in the team. But even he will surely make a strong comeback & will confirm his place in the squad.

Answer 28

Actualy, dropping of dravid can be justified because of his recent poor form in the odi's. Being such a great player he should play worth his salt and not like a kid. so dravid can always be dropped or rested from the team. But in the case of kaarthick, He is a promising youngster who is growing and earning accolades in the field of cricket. So, such a promising and ardent stroke player should be given more chances rather than making people like dravid play. The number 5 slot will perfectly suit for kaarthick. Even the recent final of the challenger trophy also, dinesh has scored a century which should serve as a thought in the food for the selectors.

Answer 29

a. Dravid bought his own destiny by surrendering captaincy. So he should not have any regrets. Dinesh Kartik would not get any fair chances hereafter, as he is a wicket-keeper batsman and poses a threat to Dhoni himself.

b. Dravid would reduce a 50-50 to 20-20 and make the game very interesting, but from the opposition point of view. They would get 50 overs, but only the Indians would get 20.

c. But, if the present Team India receives a drubbing in the hands of Pak in the very first match, Dinesh Kartik is likely to be recalled.

Answer 30

Dropping Dravid from team is a disgrace done to the nation. Our selectors remind us time and again that no one can match their comical skills. The Intellectual Honesty is missing with our cricket administrators. In a country where personal whims replacing public good is celebrated as ethical rights, pleasing people is the rule of te day. Dravid is an iconic figure. He is the epitome of all virtues and attributes among cricketers of all countries, present and the past. As a person he is the finest cricketer to have played for the country. As a batsman, he is second only to Sachin Tendulkar. The team, and the Cricket administration of the country need to emulate Dravid to infuse honesty and dedication as pivotal virtues into the cricket system of our country. When these qualities are sidelined or ignored you will serve mediocre and produce mediocre cricket. Add Harsha Bogle, the cricket administration will benifit and so will be the Indian fans who compromise almost everything for cricket. There are other good elements in indian cricket as well but no body comes so close to these two people who had lifted the face of the country. Its a pride to call you their fellow country men.

Answer 31

a. 100% correct

c. Dravid was never a ODI Player. He was brought into ODI side because of his wicket Keeping abilities by Ganguly. Since Dhoni is there to keep the wickets & to score runs at much faster rate than Dravid, Dravid's ODI place is ???

Definately taking Dinesh karthik is not a right choice. He is a young player & having caliber to prove. He should have been given one more chance.

Answer 32

It is very much justified to drop Dravid. If Dravid and Ganguly are in the same category and Ganguly can be dropped so is Dravid. Dravid would hav been dropped from ODI team about 10 yrs back. It was Ganguly who was the Captain then who kept him in the side as a wicket-keeper. As for Karthik i think he deserves a place ahead of Sehwag, since in India current form is more important than previous records.

Answer 33

No with Dravid and Yes for Karthik.

Dravid has always been perfect and most reliable all the times.Getting out 5 times at low score doesn't call for removal. Is the same done to sewag ? The only perfect silent gentlemen in Indian cricket Dravid retained sewag for so long and today Dhoni is keeping silent ! Replacing Dravid with sewag is foolish.Raina is not given chance and top in-form tamilnadu opening batsmen is also not considered !

Wait and watch after two matches...Rahul has to be called back.

Answer 34

Droping Dravid is a right decision because he is out of form . Let him take some rest and practice . But selecting Sehwag in place of Dravid is a wrong step . Sehwag's days are gone. He is not performing for a long time. Droping Karthik is also a wrong move. Selectors should have taken karthik in place of Sehwag . We have a good opening combination as Saurav and Tendulkar. they should open all the games . And when we have an opening pair like Tendulkar and Saurav - where is the place for Sehwag.

I think Mr Vengsarkar has decided to spoil the chances of winning . Its true that Mr Vengsarkar wants to show his power as chief selector . The politics in Cricket is a known game now. Pawar and Vengsarkar should be thrown out of their seats and a non-political commitee should be formed to control the cricket in India. Political leaders must be strictly banned from contesting election of BCCI. Otherwise we know the political situation of our country. These political leaders have only one agenda in their life - to eat-up the money and spoil the country. How can they do some good to the game ? it is next to impossible that a political leader will do some good to the game. Throwing out a person like Kapil Dev -(who made our country proud by winning World-cup ) is a great example of their dictatorship.

First throwing out Ganguly and supporting Chappel was a well planned game of Vengsarkar and now throwing out Dravid is just a show-off his power as a chief selector.

From my point of view - there is no place for Sehwag in any form of the game.

Let Dravid work hard like Ganguly and come back. But i want to know - what home work Sehwag did before coming back in the Team.? Raina and Karthik performed 100 times better than Sehwag. Can not Vengsarkar see their performances ? Nirnjan Shah and Mr Shukla are enjoying thier life with Board money. They have no other job.

People sitting on the top of the committee Mr Pawar, Mr Shah, Mr Shukla - have never played cricket in their life. How do they understand cricket ? isnt it surprising ?

Even if we select a clerk in any department - we test him with written exams and interviews. But what is the qulification and criteria for the selection of a cricket board's heads ?

Have they ever held the bat or bowl in their hands ?

I wish our selectors can select a winning team and not a shifarshi team.

Answer 35

Its good & welcoming part for the Indian Cricket Team, as there would be always a pressure in the dressing room to shape up or ship out, this move clearly indicates the old team members to retire at the right time (Sachin) & make way for the newcomers to be a part of the team, More the old they are, groupisim & politics are formed & then the new performers are always sidelined for selfishness, brand endorsements, match fees extra, this kind of selection builds of a good data base of performance from the performers.

Sachin should also make way for the new guys, right now he is not for the team, but for his own personal gains & records. Dhoni & team are new & would be full of energy like the 20.20 era that was a passe, But Models like Dravid, Sachin, etc should be considered only with aggressive performance from thier end. Jayasuria is one cricketer who has not grown gray with age, he is still a batsman with terror on the field.



Joe.

Answer 36

Dravid is a selfless cricketer.In the series against Australia he had to bat in different positions.His failures lower down should not be taken into account.But the real problem is, Sachin has of late taken the role of Dravid(role of sheet anchor)though he opens the innings.This has made Dravid to play either to hit out or get out. We can not have more than two seniors in the playing XI.Dravid has become the victim. The Board should evolve a policy to have all the three in the team for any series and play not more than two at a time in rotation as long as they are good..

Answer 37

He is a very rare technical player not only in India but also in the world now. His technique is unquestionable. Failing in some matches is not the way to judge or doubt his talent. Dont we remember that he has played so many crucial innings to score runs for India and built up partnerships with other players. Senior players like Laxman, Dravid are always treated badly by Indian selectors. I dont understand what is the capability of Mr.Sehwag to take him into the team. He had not scored runs for India as opener long before the world cup. Even though he was selected for T20 world cup he was unable to prove his worth. But now he has been selected in our team by quoting that he is a dashing player. Who has seen his performance and where ? I feel very sorry for Dravid since he is a very sensitive person. He may be thinking of retirement from ODIs. If that will happen India will lose a great player for ODI team.

Answer 38

I dont want dravid to play odi and waste lot of deliveries and put pressure on dhoni and yuvaraj singh again and again.

Lets give chance to youngsters in the team and check.Anyway Lets hope for the Best.

Answer 39

6-7 bad innings is too short a parameter to judge the form of a player who has proved his worth for years. Going by the same rules, it is surprising how Sehwag continues to keeps on getting selected. It seems more as a punishment maybe for stepping down as a captain or something else.

More than that it is disgusting to see how the moral of a respected player can be methodically broken down by the high handedness of a tribe called selectors and managers. Initially it was the zonal politics, then the ghost of match fixing and then the sudden question about the old (senior) players. It is really surprising that the Indian team has managed to clinch some winners inspite of these distractions.

Whether talent is the real parameter for selection in the Indian cricket team (read as any team sport in India) is the real question. Even the selectors and the managers should be held responsible for the performance of a team, which seems to be lacking at present.

Answer 40

No. Dravid is rightly the wall of Indian Cricket. He has played a lot of match winning innings for India. Every Player goes through a lean patch and dropping a player like Dravid will send wrong Signals. More Importantly with the Australian series to follow, it might affect Dravid's batting.

Answer 41

may be an off- beat reply....

1. no reasoning req'd. u can always take them back w/o reasoning , so why argue ?

2. Dravid plays in middle order where we have many candidates like rohit sharma, yuvraj, dhoni, etc.. so not much to worry.

3. Dravid has generally been a match saver(when req'd) but not a match-winner since quite some time.

5. Poor Karthik, he forgot w/king first & then batting. But he is a high potential guy. I have soft feeling for his dismissal.

6. Pouring of new blood is essential. We miss bedi, c'shekhar, jasu patel etc b coz we relied on them so much & so long & never promoted others even slightly inferior.

Answer 42

a. No -100 % wrong

b. If form and fitness is the only criterion, many of our veteran batsmen including Sunil Gavaskar and Sachin Tendulkar wud have gone out of reckoning and cud not have been able to make many of the records. There may be so many reasons for a particular lean period like stress and cricketing politics etc which might be the reason for Dravid's current poor form.



c. When BCCI will 'select' renowned players as 'Selectors' these anomalies like 'resting' can be put to rest. I am sorry to tell - none of the present selectors including Vengsarakar were greats in their days. Particularly, Vengsarkar was famous for skirting the responsibilities when needed most. We Indians have got the habit of not daring to criticse those who are powerful. May be after new selection committee chairman is 'selected' all sundries will raise questions about his past calibre and capabilities

Answer 43

It is absolutely not right to drop dravid from ODI squad. HE IS SAID TO BE A WALL OF INDIAN CRICKET TEAM OVER LAST 12 TO 15 YEARS. Once they had droped Karthik its fine because he is still to young and he has to play a long cricket. But dravid should not be droped as he is most succesful player at no:3 and he is a senior player of the team.He could have helped Dhoni in his captaincy as he most successful after Ganguly. I think there is politics is going among the slectors as Dravid resign his captaincy after England tours. According to me Dravid should be playing in the ODI.As pakistan are very tough team some one is required in the middle order to strong the batting.Except YUVI there are not enough strong middle order batsman.

Answer 44

No-absolutely wrong, because earlier if we remember when Ganguly form was not much impressive, eventhough selectors given much more chances to prove himself and Dravid havn't well played for few games only. I really wonder how they can select Viru based on a single local match performance, they would given this chance to Dravid because he is much experienced batsman now in Team India havn't faced Pakistan 50-50 player. Our selectors would have considered the Dravid experience.

And if we r coming to Dinesh Karthik , dropping him is correct. He was little expense in the last games ofcourse he has taken some wickets but that is not enough to prove him for Pakistan Match,.

Answer 45

Yes. While Karthik needed be made to fight his position back in team India as a good precedent for the upcoming players, dropping Dravid was long since overdue. ODIs are quickly shifting gears which Dravid is not able to measure up to. Those who don't adopt, go dinosaurs. One position in the team occupied by a struggling player for chances many too many has been very demotivating for upcoming players eager to perform.

Answer 46

c. It is always good to rest a senior player (Dravid, Sachin, Ganguly) in sight of having a vey hectic schedule in the near future. Dravid is a class player in Test History and it the duty of the selectors to preserve such players fit for the Test cricket. But dropping Dravid from the squad is not a good idea. He could ve only been rested. In case of resting Dravid, a player similar with his techniques should ve been selected and S.Badrinath is a very good contender to make his way to Indian cricket. If the players were selected based on their recent performances, then how did Sehwag get selected to the team????? So the selectors should reformulate their ideas during the selection and the capable players like Badrinath, Tiwary should be given their chances instead of ill testing with players like Sehwag.

Answer 47

The selectors done a correct job by resting dravid. If they have not rested him then he would be like Ganguly and Sehwag where the selectors and team management have given them lot of chances which make them a long time for his comeback in the squad. Dravid would prove crucially in Australia for the ODI and Test. Surely, the selector would pick him for the last three ODI's against Pak.

Answer 48

Not at all a great decision that dravid dropped from the ODI,



The reason is ,he is a team player and match winner, this one is a pure politics drama playing by Mr. Vengsarkar who is a average player in his time,



If dravid is dropped for not playing well in the last five matches,

people like kaif ,sehwag ,Agarkar not played well for 10 to 20 matches, even then they find a place in the team in the past



Its injustice done by the selector to a great player, hope dravid will come back strongly

Answer 49

Honestly, i would say, not only drop Dravid, & Dinesh Kartik, but drop the whole team, please for good. India has better issues to ponder upon than a mere game.



We in India have so much of wrong priorities.. Instead of admiring our Policy makers, Rulers, opposition members of parliament, Scientists, Engineers & Medical Professionals, We are after Film actors/actresses, Cricketers. Who entertain us with little rear end shake.



High time we grew up. Sorry state of affairs. Will India be a Developed country by 2012, some one asked recently, if this be the case, no chance at all. Real silly priorities. We are blowing things out of proportion.

Answer 50

NO- It was totally wrong to drop Dravid from the ODI Squad.

Dravids class far surpasses the rest of chosen Indian Team, if anyone should have been droped it should have been Tendulkar, Our team needs a batsman that can hold the team together play sensibily while the others score at a quicker pace. Leaving Dravid proves that Vengarkar has blown his Lid.

Answer 51

it seems rahul got the same thing back as he did to ganguly. I was shocked to see the treatment meeted out to ganguly who was one of the most successful captain and responsible to change the whole attitude of cricket in this country. I think our stars should think about their careers and decide when they have to quit the game. As Vijay Merchant rightly said when he retired at the pinacle of form. He said it is better before people ask question Why Now? instead of Why Not.



When ganguly went thru all that even dravid will have to go thru it. This is how unfortunately Indians treat their players. When they are on top, they are Gods and when they are down they are worst then devils.



I think it is time we respect our star players and give then a generous and respectable exit rather than treating them so shabily.



The selection process should be strict and performance based and if the seniors think that they are out of form, then they must sit out the matches. I think dravid did a big mistake when he made himself availble for the Australian series. After returning from England, he must have taken full rest physically as well as mentally so that he was ready to focus on his game. Somehow he was not his own self in the last series.



Again Good Luck to him. He has been one of the greats and deserves due respect from the nation

Answer 52

The dropping of the former indian captain from the squad is totally justified according to me,

1)the first and the foremost thing he was running out of the form for last 10 ODI's

2)only thing he does is batting,and if he is not doing that thing

not well then he deserves to sit outside the team

3)The selectors did the right thing on that case because the

other players are doing so well and making useful contributions in the TEAM INDIA's wins,they deserve a chance.

4)I have always been a critic of rahul dravid,because he has

weakest throwing arms in the TEAM INDIA,plus he does'nt

do the bowling,so for me it was matter of factly decision,if

he is not getting the runs

Answer 53

Dropping Dravid is correct because he should get his form back by playing Ranji. And this is not the end of world for him. He is dropped only for 2 ODIs.If he performs well in Ranji he can back in squad, and that will not be too late.As far as Dinesh karthik is concern, I think he should give a chance because he has lots of talent and he should prefer on any other player who is debuting in this series.Karthik has experience of playing ODIs and i don't think he is out of form.

Answer 54

see sir i am selecting the item no c. i am not a cricket man. but i am reading and seeing all matches. according to my opinion it is wrong. because in recent batting form if we take real picture shewag is the worst performer then sachin then ganguly then dravid. so it is better the team management should decide to remove or sent out all the above players immediately.because the age is a factor and i know that they cant do anything at present situation.then why alone dravid is removed this ods of pakisthan. this purely a wrong. i think mr vengsarkar become vvv old now to do all this type of job and i hope he has completely forgot his own record of his past.so it is my humble request first he shoud quit away from his post and should take rest for some days as what cricket players are taking rest to reknew their forms. so let him take rest and u can give him the same post after his 70 yrs of age , so that he can do good selection for good team to india to won that time world cup.



good bye



kumar

Answer 55

c)Dropping Karthik is o.k because he has not performed & was given many chances.But to drop Dravid is a foolish thing & only a fool like Veng can do it. Dravid is more consistent than Ganguly or even Tendulkar.He is a better fielder & runner between wickets than Ganguly. Replacement for a classy player is Sehwag.What a joke!!!! The reason given for Sehwag's inclusion is his record against Pakistan. Only a fool can give such a reason.A player at the highest level of cricket has to perform against any team.DIRTY POLITICS.

Answer 56

I am of the opinion that it is probably the best recent decision made by the BCCI. Dravid was not performing and it is an absolute aprpriate decision to give him some rest. Questions need not to be raised about his technique but instead much more of the emphasis should be laid on his present form. He should work on it.He should take this setback as a stepping stone and should strive to restore his lost place in the Indian ODI Team by paying more attention in playing some long and fruitful innings.

Answer 57

Yes i want Dravid to play odi, Bcz he is a fantastic player. Look on his record 2006 -2007, he is most successful batsman in odi. his position is 3 & we send him on 5 or 6th place this is not fare. plz don't break the flow, gave him sometime on 3rd position. Now selector tell me what Dhoni did in last 10 matches, what Dinesh kartik did in last 10 matches. in abroad like Aus, Eng, S.Africa piches, only dravid can play bell.

There is lot of controversy, if dravid is not in form from last 5 to 6 matches give him some more time instead of out him. Bcz in sehwag time we gave him approx 8th month time & dravid time only 5 to 6 match, So this is not fare. Why we insulting these Trimurty. Sachin , Dravid And Sourav is like gold ,so don't polish them.

Answer 58

Dravid should never been dropped. karthick's decision is fine. Mr.Modest has to be "Chavinistic Bengali" to be so nasty with a gentleman like Dravid and go GAGA over ganguly! His contention that Dravid's carreer was boosted by ganguly by making him keep wickets is the best joke of the century. All Ganguly's test victories have come from Dravid's Batting (Mr.Modest can refresh his memory and visit libraries), and India could reach W.C-2003 final becuase Dravid was burnt out (by our great dada) by giving double/ major responsibilities! ganguly was dropped for scoring series of poor scores and being in team only on the basis of teamn winning matches! Unlike Dravid who has failed last 4-5 innings, Sourav failed in entire 2004-2005! Mr.Modest should see Saurav's better averages after comeback and poor strike rates which show he is playing only for himself! See the reactions from I.Haq, Kirmani, the whole Pakistan team- you will know the respect Dravid commands from the world. Dravid/ Sachin resigned from captaincy because they are not shameless power mongers like saurav ganguly. HOw on earth a captain who never won a test series overseas (Pakistan is 50:50 only & B.desh/ Zimbabwe cannot be even counted) & who has the record of loosing NINE consecutive One day tournaments be called India's best ever captain!?

Answer 59

hi,

It's high time we start elevating our young talent, guys like Irfan Pathan, Dinesh Karthik, Sreesanth, Uthappa, Raina, Tiwary, Rohit Sharma deserves lots of oppurtunities as they are our future cricketers. Now that we've seen them in action in 20/20 and the recent ODI series against the Aussies. These youngsters should be persisted with inspite of their odd failure, because they are showing good attitude, they are aggressive and they are ready to take it up. This is the time to groom them in, otherwise there would not be any future for Indian Cricket. Importantly our fielding and running between wkts will improve with these youngsters. We just can't hide any fielders, anymore. ODI cricket is going at some pace and we need to keep track with it. Moreover this is the time to build the team for Next world cup, anyways the big 3 is not going to be around till 2011, these guys needs all the time and exposure to reveal themselves at the international arena. Already we saw how freely these guys were playing when the big 3 along with Zaheer is not in the team for 20/20s. That is the sort of atmosphere the selectors need to give them. The big 3 along with Zaheer, should not play ODI cricket. My Team for ODIs : 1. Dhoni 2. Yuvraj 3. Sehwag 4. Gambhir 5. Uthappa 6. Dinesh Karthik 7. Suresh Raina 8. Irfan Pathan 9. Piyush Chawla 10. Harbhajan/M. Kartik 11. Sreeshanth with Kaif, Tiwary,Rohit, RP. Singh, VRV.Singh forming the rest of the squad. Also we need to use Sehwag and yuvraj more in every ODI as bowlers thereby doing away with 5 bowler theory, because even with 5 bowlers we concede more then or close to 300 runs, we can go with 4 bowlers and with an extra batsman. India's strength and weakness is batting, whenever they have additional batting resource the top order seems to feel more secure and play freely. With 5 bowler theory our tails gets too lenghty which we cannot afford in ODIs these days, the one-off partnership between Kartik & Zaheer at mumbai notwithstanding. Indian cricket in future needs collective performance and not individual brilliance to win matches, we need performers not stars. With individual brilliance we can win 3/4 matches out of 10, with collective performance we can win 7/8 matches out of 10, and thereby we can become consistent by shedding the " inconsistent team " tag that accompanies with the team.

Answer 60

Dropping Dravid for Sehwag is not at all justified as Sehwag was never in form as compared to Dravid.The reason stated by Vengsarkar to drop oops sorry TO REST Dravid and selecting Sehwag is that sehwag's past performance against pakistan is better than that of dravid is utter rubbish.It would be justified to replace dravid with suresh raina as the latter is playing with a dangerous mix of fire and ice ie fiery and patience innings and also not to forget that he is one of the best fielder India ever had.Again about dinesh karthick he will bounce back as oppotunities will knock as he showed in the test matches in England.

Answer 61

Rahul is great player and u need him against Australia in Australia and in all sots of test matches. We've always seen that a big player when makes his come back he comes with a bang. Well if u leave all the emotions aside u'll see that series against Australia is more important than Pakistan. I think Rahul is just dropped from the ODIs and not the test side. Its good to give a player a break when a player is not in his best of form and give the chance to a youngster, after all Rahul, sachin & Sourav are just for 2 more years maximum.Apart from that this is what you call Rotation policy.

Answer 62

b. No. In the world of cricket none of the player is in form in all the season and We can not expect the player to score 50 or 100 in each and every match. Before that even Sachin, Yuvi, Dhoni were out of form. That time they were not hold. But this time why this was happend to Dravid? He saved lot of matches to India favour. So he must be in the Indian Team.

Answer 63

I think whoever will perform in the team will retain his position n a non performer has to be kept aside wheather he may be dravid, tendulkar,dhoni or else. Our team should play to win n not to earn money n to become celebrities. Have the best example of the world winner Australia, they are too professional to win every game. This is not accet of some few but the nation's hopes and expectations are there behind the team. Even i think media should not make some one a hero, they should make the whole team boost the performance.

Answer 64

Yes 100% correct, dravid is not able to play one day cricket, he wastes important deliveries when india are on the verge of win in one day cricket then he play very slow consiquently india lose the match, it is the right decision to out dravid from the odi squad by the selectors of the indian cricket team,

Answer 65

It is a completely wrong decision.Dropping Dravid or any of da big three for that matter,is wrong.I agree that he failed against da aussies n 2 some extent in england as well,but that doesnt mean we drop him.It was ok 2 drop him if there was anybody who belonged 2 da same class as dravid available,but none of da people in da current lot are good enough 2 match either of da big three.Not even MSD or Yuvi.Dravid might hav failed in da series,but so did yuvi,ok may be not 2 that extent,but yuvi only had one century thats it,n da rest of da series was again ordinary.Only Sachin,Saurav n Utthappa played well,rest all were good in patches.Dravid has done a lot for his team,and he deserves his chances.I don't know wats da selection committee's fixation with youngsters,y do they believe that only youngsters will b able 2 play well.If i'm not wrong Mike "Mr.Cricket" Hussey made his debut at da age of 32-33.And he is one of da most important players of Australia.And it is wrong for thr selection committee 2 decide da retiring age of da big three.These seniors have given so much 2 joy 2 da nation,if they r fit n in form they can even play da next world cup.And they are such great team players,if either of them feels that they cant compete at this level,they will retire on their own.Steve Waugh retired at the age of 37,and so did Lara.We should give the big three time,and use their experience to guide da new players coming in da team.Please da selection committee should not disgrace players like these.

Answer 66

Yes it is cent percent correct



We should not loose the the team spirit and their aggression while playing in the field just because of one player that is Dravid. It is true that while chasing big scores he will play very casually, waste lot of easy balls n put pressure on the lowest order batsmen n it is always happening.

Now there r lot of youngsters those who come up with new bat n ball should be given chance rather the seniors those who does put any value to the team.

Answer 67

Dravid is considered as a wall, so he being dropped from the ODI team for pak series is okay BUT karthi--k is considered to be a leopard in ODI since he is always raring to go and that is what is needed in ODI. So, dropping karthik is not a good move by the BCCI.

Answer 68

Dropping Dravid is very much correct. If performance was the yardstick, why Dravid is singledout. What about Sachin ? He is still in the team becasue he is from Mumbai and Dilip Vengsarkar can't drop him as they speak same language.



Dropping Dinesh Karthik is sheer politics becasue he does not have support- neither he is Marathi, nor has GodFather, nor any leading companies support him, like Sachin is supported. Sachin is still in the team becasue all the sponsors thro' whom he is minting money apply pressure on Dilip Vengsarkar.

Answer 69

well Mr.modest,your answer doesn't seem to have any modesty in it.Please do not forget that sourav was totally out of form for more than two years ,yet he found a place in the team for the mere reason that he was the captain.Can you strongly point out dravid with such poor form ever before?ofcourse,this time it has been vengsarkar who has decided to test dravid's nerves.Even sehwag , who has forgot playing cricket long back , was given , and is being given hell a lot of chances.Only mistake done by dravid was the resignation of his captaincy.Had he retained his captaincy , then who would have questioned to remove the leader from the squad?(as it happened to sourav).Sehwag and sourav have been in the team for long time , without even playing properly in atleast 1 match(ofcourse,at present he is in good form.Thats good for the team)

Everyone should see that Dravid has not spoken a word against the decision of selectors.

This shows that he will be given a re-entry in the next set of matches , and.......he'll be back with a bang...

Come on dravid....bang'em out...

waiting for you...

Answer 70

a) Yes-100% correct, coz they r running out of form and further, India lost the series against Aussies which could be attributed to non-performance of these guys. Mumbai ODI would have been won and the series also would have been levelled. Dravid is a fit player of Test matches.

Answer 71

No. This is a 50 over match and not 20/20.

So the need of both of them will be crucial in the Pak series. Dravid is the wall and Kaathik is the very good fielder.

Answer 72

Drooping of Dravid is rumoured as plain revenge for drooping of Ganguly and Tendulkar when Dravid was near to the group then in power.

.

Old group has taken over the powers and it is said and rumoured that they do not care for country but they care for themselves.



Only God or some men of honour can help BCCI. Any way those in command now are rumoured will not allow any such honest people to come even near BCCI.



It is said and rumoured that these old people of Cricket want their stronghold over this rich game for reasons which every body can guess.



It is high time that we have a very active and strong ICL and BCCI be declared as not a sole representative of Indian Cricket as the present group it is rumoured want only yes men for reasons which can be guessed

Answer 73

I am not raising my eyebrows just coz Dravid is dopped eventhough i always support Dravid (he is not in form and he is dropped just for 2 games). For that matter even the other seniors, Sachin and Saurav arent at their best as we know them. What if all the senior players "RESTED" at least one or two matches and let only the young generation play and see how they perform. Then everyone will know where our senior players and young players stand. If the result is good, then let the senior players decide what they want for their future cricketing career and if the result is bad, then our senior players should be given the due resect that they deserve. So that would be easier for the selectors to select and the whole nation for that matter when it comes to supporting each player.

Answer 74

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!Dravid is the wall of indian team..so what,if there was some kind of problem or pressure on him in the last few matches...Rahul is an experienced cricketer & an experienced senior in the team is must!He is the former captain of our indian team and this doesn't mean that leaving captaincy is the retirement from cricket..Is choosing Sehwag 4 the ODIs is right???Rahul is not in the form only 4 past few matches but Sehwag is not at all in the form in the ODIs 4 past few months...Is this is justice??

Answer 75

Yes to certain extend.



To be frank, for the betterment of the Indian Cricket, the trio (Sachine, Dravid & Ganguly) must be either batted lower down the order or else removed from the team to promote new comers like Robin, M.Tiwary, Badrinath & Raina. It may take few games for them to settle, which really doesnt matter. If a decision like this not taken now, the future of the Indian Cricket will be at stake as the trio may have one or two years cricket left (Max.).

Answer 76

Dravid - Yes - What he has done in past is appreciable but the team India is above all personal choices. He has not performed for quite sometime now. Hence the team cannot afford to carry his load without any benefit. He needs to prove himself and return as Sourav Ganguly has done. Simple!!



Karthik - No - I thought he bowled handsomely in the last few matches and deserved some more chances to show his consistency.

Answer 77

While I do not have anything against dropping Dinesh Karthik, I feel it is too harsh to drop Dravid all of a sudden. They should have continued with him atleast for the pakistan series and given him an opportunity either to prove his worth by regaining his lost form or retire on his own gracefully.

Answer 78

No harm at all. For it will give them the much-needed opportu-

nity to introspect and thereby make every possible effort single-mindedly to improve upon their performance Qualitatively speaking. Since in international cricket, there is abs no scope for experimentation/trial-and-error. Especially for the likes of Rahul Dravid The Wall and Dinesh Karthik as well. They will have to perform to their Very Best potential, nothing short of that.



Avtar Krishan Mathur

Answer 79

c. Yes , to some extent it seems correct . Because , both

Dravid & Dinesh Karthik were in off form & ODI needs

players to be in perfect form . The perfect form can fetch

plenty of runs - which is a must for ODI's.

Answer 80

1) c



Whats wrong with the selectors... We have one bad tour and we find out series ka mujrim.... Poor Dravid.... Went out of form at a very wrong time i guess.... But the height of stupidity is to take the all time out of form Sehwag in place of him.... Well yeah if there is anything called a collapse, Sehwag will lead the way... And poor Karthik... Too good a fielder and very talented batsman..... But again bad form at wrong time.... So we have Sehwag to bat n Bhajji to bowl... So we would get to see a lot of catching practice and lot of full tosses which are to be hit for a six.... As usual after the series we would see new and talented Paki players emerge....

Answer 81

No, Not at all. the selectors particularly the chairman of the selection committee are biased and for a good player like Dravid they have droped. the axe should have been either on Ganguly or Tendulkar, who are keeping their personal interest above the national interest for earning more endorsements by remaining in the playing team and depriving the young players from entering the ring

Answer 82

Yes. Totally justified. Both are useless in ODIs. We have Dhoni so no need of Karthik. In tests Gambhir and Uthappa should open. Dravid is ok for Tests at no. 3

Answer 83

If you ask me, I would say perfect poetic justice has been administered to Rahul David. He was the one who with the aid of Greg Chapell conspired againt Ganguly, as a result of which the most successful skipper in Indian cricket was dropped. Now, it seems that God has finally punished Dravid for his treachery. Sourav has proved that he is truly the bengal tiger,and deserves a place in the team, while Dravid is desparately struggling for his form and has been dropped.I agree that Dravid a god player, but in course of time his foul deeds are being punished.

As for Karthick I think that he has already got enough chances. So, the selectors were rifht in dropping him.

Answer 84

Absolutely correct decision not only coz Dravid is struggling for the runs but after resigning from captain's post he looked mentally disturbed in the series against Aussies. Dravid might be a great player but when he is struggling he has to be given a break & other youngsters should be given a chance.Its a time for us to look beyond past records & past glory & live in the present.

Answer 85

Dravid has played for India for a long period of time. There was a time , when he was seeing the ball like a football. No one would deny the fact that he had done a wonderful job for india. but now he has lost that touch and enthusiasm which was his trade mark for a long period of time. Now it is high time for him to concentrate in longer version of cricket. because India has got a bunch of younsters , who don't have fear in their dictionary. And also they are geared up to accept any challlenges. Even Sachin and Ganguly too should be willing to step down from the limited version of the game. I like these three players very much. But at the same time time i adore my nation more than any thing. For a patriot,. national pride should come first. Hence i am bound to make this comment. i would want my country always to be on the winning steak.

Answer 86

Dravid is an ever lasting star but it is not bad to give opportunities for the young guns since foundations have to be laid for the next world cup and people pay huge sums to see players who fulfill their wishes since, it is really humilating to see India get defeated often which will also give a negetive impact on the future generation who will be just warming their seats sitting in the dressing room rather than going and achieving the targets which only young blood can do

Answer 87

Not at all, Dravid was under immense pressure after resigning from captaincy. he should have been put at ease by the selectors. Instead they have isolated him and dropped. As far as karthik is concerned, he was always sent up and down in the order and never allowed to settle down . He is very good at No. 6 or 7.

Answer 88

I am in favour of dropping Dravid from the ODI squad against Pak. But in my opinion, Dinesh Karthik should be tried one again.

Answer 89

No. both are technically sound batsmen. Karthik is an excellent fielder. They should have been given a chance. If after 100 failures Sehwag is in the team then after 10 failures why these two are out. Just because they are not politically influential like Ganguly. or they cant bribe BCCI and they are gentleman.

Answer 90

For the 2matches it is o.k.But we need Dravid for the forthcomming series against Austrailia.You cannot play with all attacking players in a 50 overs game.You need guts and technique against Astrailian bowling.He needs match practice,he should be in the playing team for the remaining matches.Same applies to Karthik.

Answer 91

If dropping Rahul Dravid by seeing the performance against Australia and that to in only one series ,is not correct.Selectors should drop the players who will not perform against Pakistan even though the player may be Sachin or Sourav or might be even the captain of the team.One thing I want to remind the Indian fans Sourav who was the captain got many chances before being dropped and Suresh Raina and Sehwag who was protected by Rahul when he was not in form got many chances before being dropped.I want the selectors to maintain the same yard stick to all the players.

Answer 92

It takes time to settle for Dravid to give him a chance, because he is not in form. He is an experience like Ganguly and Tendulkar. He knows his game. Only thing time should favor him. He has been given on right opportunities as one drop batsman. In fact he is not in touch / out of form. But selecting Virender Sehwag in place of Dravid or Karthic is not right by the Selectors. I CAN PLAY BETTER THAN SEHWAG IF I AM GIVEN OPPORTUNITIES, HOW MUCH HE GOT SO FAR. There are so many players waiting for their chance. To my knowledge the chance should go to Raina,Badrinath and even Kaif too.



To my knowledge he is a class player in ODIs' too. If he is not class player, he could have not got more than 10000 runs ODIs' too.



Let Indians support his caliber and pray God to get the nod again.



In the case of Dinesh Karthik he is only settling to play for India and there is so much of competition. He proved his mettle in the Test arena as an opener with Wasim Jaffer. Let him get chance for the tests. There he gets lot of time to settle and go for score.



I saw his recent Century in Challenger Trophy. Played technically with balanced foot work. I treat this Century as much needed score for him.



Let him wait till he gets his turn in the Tests.



Murali Krishna Nippani

Answer 93

It's correct answer that Dravid is out from the odi squad, even Sachin should be out with Dravid so that youth team can play aggressive cricket.

Answer 94

We are not playing 20-20 , It is 50 overs match so in the middle order we need experienced Person. So Dravid elimination is not correct solution. Yes we have so many youngsters They need to be given chance not like that all are youngsters. we need some experienced persons in team from them youngsters can learn the things. If dravid was played in NO:3 in his captaincy Then he would have not faced this situation. He allowed others to play. If we want to move good like 20-20 we need such player few more years. I don't know about opening, middle order we need player like dravid.

Answer 95

Yes, It was correct decision. Had it been the case of Australian Cricket, they would have thrown out from the squad long time back. Its very simple. Deliver it and stay inside the team.



These senior cricketers are not married to Indian Cricket team. Even marriages don't stay longer now days.



Give them a chance again. If they prove themselves, keep them in. Otherwise repeat the same process again. After 3 -4 chances, tell them Good bye.



Give chances to youngsters also. I think they will deliver.



I dont know why Sehwag is in ???????

Answer 96

yes.... its the right to drop dravid and karthik from the odi sqad, because both of them are out of form and the indian team is not as the other tems they are the T-20 world champions and will have pressure at there back. and that to against pakistan its very difficult for a captain to handel the players who are out of form.so in order to make the successfull team the team management should remove the players from the squad who are out of form.

Answer 97

NO- the fact of the matter is dravid is a must for the indian team and he should be allowed to bat at No.3,which is his position for a long time and he has proved time and again why he is called a wall.the young guns won us the 20T but when it comes to 50 overs they still have to develop the skills to last for the entire innings.some one needs to stand up and give some comonsense to the selectors particularly the chairman Mr.vengsarkar

Answer 98

why don't u ask sourvav and sehwag to quit cricket and play football just to score 2 or 3.

Dravid has failed only once and karthik has done well compared to the experience the seniors have got just they are nipping the flower at the bud stage,but for Dravid this is really to hard to digest,but sure he will come back with a BANG.

Answer 99

No drop dravid is not correct they might have given one more chance because dravid record against pak is good. So many seniors whose performance is not good till they are in the team dropping dravid is the politics done by the committee.

Answer 100

a) ITS CORRECT



As long as Dravid is concerned, he is not a batsman who has always been in bad form like karthik... but I think he needs to be rested and thats what the selectors have done. His poor form in the series against the Australians, could be another reason though.



Well, nothing much about Karthik. He's doing well in domestic cricket but not in international cricket. I think he's been given enough chances already to prove himself but on very instance, he's been failing to do that... So its absolutely the correct decision to take Karthik out of the squad.



The selectors also have to think about youngsters, who are dieing to enter the Indian team, and who are in great form or whatsoever. So they have to think about current batsmen who are not in good form, so that they can be rested and give the youngsters a chance.

Answer 101

Of course.If India have to beat teams like Australia,definitely dravid has no role in the one day squad.It is high time players are selected on the basis of their present form and not on the basis of past laurels,even though Rahul Dravid doesnt have many in ODIs.You perform and play otherwise you are out,thats the bottom line-----Rahul Dravid.

Answer 102

Correct. Bold and fair decision by selectors, particularly by Colonel Dilip Vengsarkar.

Selection criteria should be base on present form only not based upon past records. Present for shows like Vengsarkar said he does not add value to the team, quite correct and commendable statement. If past performance is criteria,than Kapil Dev, Gavaskar, Bedi, Prasanna all should be included in the team.

Our is a great team at par with Australia, the only field we lack in is fielding. A player with good fielding is always an asset for team rather than scoring 100 and leaving two catches, ultimate score is zero.

Dravid average fielder, not bowls does not have place in team. Dropping him is good for team. If he performs well should be included in team, but not on the basis of past record. For that matter no player should be included in team on the basis of past record. Youngsters should be given an chance to prove themselves, if they fails, then only some other person should be given a chance.

Again bold and fair decision be selcectors. Ganguly also falls in the same line.

Karthick also got his chance, may be considered if performs well in domestic cricket.

Answer 103

I do feel that it was unjustice with Dravid "The Wall" had made India won such games that are not at easy hand for us, though his performance after england tour have been disappointed but then why sehwag has been taken, just because his performance against pakistan is better.Sehwag had scored only 1 run in the challenger trophy and still he is inside and the player who have scored century in that match have to sit outside.

Answer 104

Dropping of Rahul Dravid & Dinesh Karthik cannot be justified as both of them should be given some more time to prove their performance. Dravid is a senor most player and we require him in times of emergency. Karthik is a promising youngster and we should develop him both as wicket-keeper and middle order batsman.

Answer 105

see dropping DRAVID is a big big big mistake and the selectors should not to do this incase of DRAVID the wall and the most reliable person and good human being of indian cricket . Just before this odi series he was captain at ENgland series and he has played well at England and by just considering 4 games it is not right decision to drop him as so many runs are to be come from his blade IN FUTRURE FOR INDIAN CRICKET TYEAM. .; mind it.DRAVID IS ALL TIME BEST PLAYER AT ANY PITCH, ANY WICKET AND AT ANY COUNTRY.

Answer 106

Dravid and ganguly set a new trend for indian team,after 1996 india won more matches than nefore.Fans used to look at our team as strong now.Before that we used to fear for teams like england,NZ,SA and AU.But now we can beat any team & can get beaten by any.Wining in 20-20 and 50-50 is diffrent and three seniours get out of team for giving youngsters chance but youngsters are not ready fort he 50-50 as many of the new players can;t handle media critics as our seniors can.That is the reason many players are switching to ICL.

Answer 107

The wheel has since turned full circle. While Ganguly finds his rightful place in the Indian team, Dravid is dumped because of a string of poor performances in the recent past. And Dravid's supporters are shouting hoarse to include him on the string of his good past performances.

Answer 108

Dravid is not an aggressive sportsman but he is a good human being.In todays requirement we need player who show spirit of winning within 20 overs not 5 day match players.



even though it is not justified to keep dravid out it is necessary.Under the same guide lines Tendulkar,Ganguly,Shewag are all to be kept out permanently.



Today's situation for dravid is not his poor performance it is maharashtra lobby and vengsarkar.I donot know what made selectors to keep vengsarkar in panel.He is a biased selector.Before throwing out the trio vengsarkar to be thrown out.He is a shame to the selection panel

Answer 109

Dropping Dravid from the ODI team is absolutely nonsence.He is a wall and i am asking who is Vensarkar to drop Dravid from the team.The management should drop Vensarkar from the selection committee.

Answer 110

yes karthik is of no use once Dhoni is there and instead of him give some one else a chance who is a better batsman and a who can bowl a bit, we are not short of keepers but bowlers and batters. About dravid i have mixed feelings but its good that the committee has taken a brave decision to drop him,,,,

Answer 111

Dravid & Dinesh karthik dropped from the odi squad against pak is not at all correct.see dravid did a good captaincy in the past ,he is an experienced player he is called the wall of india because there is a reason ...................................... forefit the game before somebody else put your teem name to shame.

Answer 112

Yes Dravid but not Dinesh karthik

Answer 113

C,, This not good at all if one does not play properly we cant through them out than in future this will be the situation for all captains including dhoni or yuvaraj {kaif was great player but now he is nowhere} this may happen to Dhoni &Yuvaraj dont forget that

Answer 114

The "kar" or "pawar" formula is to wait for the south indians to fail and immediately pounce on them to throw them out.

This is what has been happening in the past.



Otherwise venkatraghavan the captain would not have become the 12th man in the next game. Thanks to Gavas"kar" then.



Krish srikant the successful captain in pakistan then would not have been thrown out of the team itself.



TE Srinivasan was out of the indian team because Gavas"kar" didn't like him.



Vijay Bharadwaj the man of the series of ICC inaugural world cup in kenya would not have been thrown out of the indian team in the next series (after 3 or 4 months and the public have a poor track record then as well as now) .



Brian Lara was then planning for a strategy against V Prasad 's bowling at sharjah whereas the BCCI dropped prasad !?



V V S Laxman is not a good bet for advertisements though he has hammered 281, 167 against aussies. Hence thrown out of the team.



Sadagopan Ramesh the highest run - getter of the india - srilanka test series in lanka for india was out of the team after injury recovery (he didn't change his name as sad'agarkar' then). He was invited to Australia later for taking snaps of Akash chopra the famous 10-10 scorer for india then all thru the 5 tests. And dropped. No protest from TN because TN is not West Bengal.



Sunil Joshi has the best all round performances for 2 or 3 ranji seasons continuosly and was breaking records to find all selectors to be blind.



Murali karthick , Uthappa are being watched to be pounced and thrown out.



BCCI has the "pawar" to do these "Kar" sevas.

Answer 115

Dropping Dinesh Karthick was NOT correct. He played very well except recent series.



In our team many players (in last 30 years) were allowed to play for several series without taking runs or wickets. ( for example: Agarkar, Kumble, Kaif, Srinath, Kambli etc., etc.,)



While selecting those players the selection committe annouce that they are Ace Batsman or Ace Bowler.



They play well in 1 match and stay in team for 100 matches.



But Rahul Dravid case is differs.



The senior players are doing polictics. They recommending for few players who are not performing.



After keeping out Ganguly playing well now.



Rahul Dravid himself resign the captaincy suddenly. It shows that something.



Taking rest will bring him peace and he will perform well in next series.

Answer 116

Today in the in every sphere what counts is proffessionalism. So, what you were in the past does not counts, what counts is your present performance.



Mr. Dravid has lost his performance at present and selectors clearly remarked that doors are not closed for Dravid he can perform and get back in the Team.



So, considering present form , dropping of Dravid is correct decision

Answer 117

No.

Dravid should not dropped . He is such a master player & recently he is in such a commadable position of improving his strike rate too .



Only he has not done well in Australia series can not be a justified reason for dropping him .

Such a decision may affects on confidence of a player Of Dravid Class .

I would like to mention that Ganguly s Strike rate is absolutely poor & is the main reason for our defeat ,Since in slog overs asking rate is increasing because of this reason

Answer 118

Axing someone of the stature of Dravid from the ODI squad just because he has had one bad series against Australia is ridiculous...it is an insult to him in particular and to the 'gentleman's game' as a whole!

Answer 119

No- I don't think this causes psychological problems for dravid and karthik not only them whole team will be in a pressure. And will be in doubt if they cant perform in one series they might have to sit. I think they should be in squad but they can take rest. And practice more n more to prove them what they are.



Roy

Answer 120

Why Dravid only ?

What is Sehwag's specialities ?

What is Saurav doing in the Squad ?

What has Sachin to do with the Cricket ?

In one of my earlier mails, I have very categorically advised all the fours to quit graciously and let the glamour of cricket be lively as it is. The day will not be far when the public has to rise to the occasion to keep them out of the cricket.

Answer 121

Yes. Dravid deserves to be dropped as his temperamant is not suitable for ODI. Over and above new talent and young blood be afforded an opportunuity to prove their calibre.

IndianCricket would flourish only when quality and performance are recognised and not the name and influence.

Answer 122

c.

There should be only one criteria for selection. No politics. Just performance and a proper team selection that includes just the right bowlers and batsmen .

Dravid seems not to be playing with his heart. I watched his body language during the Aussies tour. Let him get back when his mood improves.

There is something wrong there. Not like his old self.

Answer 123

c. What bothers me is the inconsistency in the way a player is dropped. For some players innumerable opportunities are given in spite of series of failures and for some the axe comes down rather quickly! Hence, dropping someone is not a big deal as a player who is capable will always bounce back. But, the selection committee should adopt a consistant approach.

Answer 124

a.Yes - 100% correct

b. Let Dravid also work hard and come back as Ganguly did.

c. It has proven to be a success story with consistency in batting.

Answer 125

Yes, this decision is correct. Specially Rahul was not performing well. So it is in the interest of the nation to give a chance to some in-form batsman. But certainly it should not be considered as the end of his career. He is a wonderful and dependable player. So he should gain confidence from domestic cricket and then come back.

Answer 126

Yes....dropping dravid is good decision and this should the same for all the players.....if they do not perform well in 2 or 3 series....they should be dropped and new players should be given the oppurtunity. This is including the big three....

Answer 127

c. Dravid should have been given few more chances at No 3 position. It is very unfair to drop a player of his stature based on performance in just 5 games. I am sure he will return with a bang when given a chance.

Answer 128

I agree with te descision of the selectors as their are too many good fringe players, also i think selecting a proven flop player like Sehwag is a big scam. I need to know how much share does a player has to offer to selection committee to be able to play for the BCCI team?



So far as selection of team is concerned, why are these players not looked in ; Manoj Tiwary, Suresh Raina, Badrinath?



When are they going to be included? What more do they have to do? What would these players be feeling when they see duffer like Sehwag being selected over their meritorious display? or else they need to learn the art of negotiations more than their ability to play.



Mr. Vengsarkar what is your price?

Answer 129

I think Dravid is having a tough time because of his perfomance in the past and the decision to drop him is correct and if he proves his worth by playing well in the ranji trophy then he can be given a chance to play against pakistan

Answer 130

It was a correct decision. See what the youngsters did for Indian in the T20 version of the game. We Indians have to learn to admit that as a player grows in age, his performance starts falling. He is not the same anymore. Why not bring in Kapil Dev again in the team who was one of the best all-rounders?? Why not play Sandeep Patil & Roger Binny again??



We have to break this boundary of not touching senior players. Everyone saw whow well Dinesh Kartik and Suresh Raina played in the Challenger series. So why not give them a chance. We are selecting a best team to represent our nation not our favorite Mohalla teams!!!

Answer 131

When the great Sourav can be dropped after scoring a test century, Dravid can definitely be dropped after a forgettable series of 51 of 5 innings.

Answer 132

Rahul is a great batsman in indian team. he is a technical player. he did not bat well last few matches. but it is not good news for indian fans and indian team that he is not playing against pak in first 2 matches.now may be dravid's absent make different in this series. pressure is on indian team now. bcoz team will play without dravid

Answer 133

Dravid is classic batmen and it's 50 overs game Though Dhoni got 2020 cup it dosent mean dhoni and yuvi are great better not forget and past and futer is ahead for them too Dhoni can never stand before Dravid.BCCI itself is making stupidity it's cricket not tug of war.brains are so important .

Answer 134

Dropping Dravid from ODI is not correct decision. Dravid he is the man given many more victory's to India with single hand. so that i feel it was not a correct decision.

Answer 135

It is a 100% right decision.with so many young talents budding out dravid is nothing but garbage for team INDIA...N there can be no sympathy for a shrewd person like him who had done all his best to drop Sourav Ganguly who's been the one of the best captains....Sourav has proved his calibre...now its dravid's turn..if possible he should return back with cricket on the field & not OFF THE FIELD...

Answer 136

i think the decision to drop Dravid &karthik is not a very great decision as both are godd players and need to give them some support & confidence & that makes the TEAM . dravid was in a tremendous pressure and was not looking very confident so the team management should have talked to him and should have supported him and should have given a chance.

about KARTHIK i would like to say that he is very DESTRUCTIVE player when he gets on that he have showned in the past and now in the Challenger trophy & about his form in one day he hasn't got much chance to proove himself he has got the chance in few one days but he was out due bad short selection and that to very early .it doesen't mean that he is a bad player ALSO he is a very ATHLETIC FIELDER & a VERY energetic WICKET KEEPER

Answer 137

I want dravid to play because Basically he is a middle order batsman and Mr DEPENDABLE.And sehwag is uncertain with his Bat and Bowl for the past 1 and half year. No score from his bat and even in champions trophy his performane was pathetic.Selectors if they think dravid is not in the form atleast they have to pick middle order batsman like suresh Raina,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Answer 138

Absolutely wrong!!!



Vengsarkar is flexing his muscles against dravid because he knows nobody in bangalore will protest!!!!



Remember the gafla that happened when sourav was dropped by chapell.Whole of Calcutta protested.So vengsarkar will not dare to drop him.He won't even dare to drop Sachin because of strong maratha lobby.



If our batting fails in the series against Pak, BCCI will again be going to Dravid and include him in the team before the start of Australian series.They will need him there.So why drop him now?

Answer 139

c. I required dravid as a player, not as a captain. when he was not in the position of skipper, he played crucial match winning innings. we must give one more chance to him.

We cannot tell dravid consistency by considering only last 2 series.

Dinesh can be out, definitely.

Answer 140

Dravid should be dropped because essentially he is not a stroke player and takes too much time to settle down . He cannot force the pace and gets bogged down often as he is bereft of too much unconventional shot selection. Moreover other talented youngster are warming the bench .

Sachin should have been dropped too as he is a selfish cricketer .

Answer 141

C.'Dravid' is not at all playing well so bettet to drop him form the odi Squad against PAK ....!! But if u comes to Karthik He is playing well... He is a good player better to give him chance....!!

Answer 142

yes dravid should be dropped from the side becuase he was out of form for the last two series..he should know how it will be for him when he dropped Ganguly nad Sehwag..and not picking them up when they were in good form espicially incase of GANGULY he did a very foolish thing...so he should be dropped..and Karthik should be given another chance to prove hinself since he is young player and he will be selected back into the team very soon........i may think that this is the right time time for dravid to retire,........

Answer 143

Certainly not..........infact its a ridiculous decision....to drop a player of Rahul Dravid's calibre that too 4 nt performing well in just 5 matches seems soooo stupid.This is a big juedgemental error on part of the selectors....the reactions of the Pakistani players shows this....and I heartily hope that it doesnt really effect Indias chances....

Answer 144

these selectors wont change their ways... they should see all player in same vision...i thing dravid is the only underestimated bats man in indian cricket history... in the begining he was hindered by the lights of sachin ,azhar... but soon proved that he deserve a place in indian team....

now a selector puts a break on him... but dravid is mentaly fit and droping him a series is the biggest mistake made by vensagar... he himself had not been in good form for the most of series when he was in the team.he has noright to talk abt dravid and his form..



what he did is wrong

Answer 145

About Dinesh Kaarthick, the entire point in including youngsters is to make a good Indian team with talented new comers. No point in returning a man, who after having been given reasonable chances to prove his mettle, has failed to prove himself. Kaarthick's exclusion is definitely in order. There are far too many talents on the sidelines.

Answer 146

Regarding dravid may be in cricket also politics & karthik is 100% correct after giving so many chances he has not proved.Dravid is WORLD CLASS PLAYER

Answer 147

Dropping Dravid isn't good idea as India shall be loosing their experience player. Dravid cant be judged by few games if he didn't do well in Australia tour to India its noway good to drop him.

Dropping Dravid------ increasing advantage for Pakistan

Answer 148

Yes, I think resting Dravid for a few matches will help him to get back his earlier form and he will be back with a bang on the international circuit. Karthick is doing well. Give him some more matches to come to terms with himself and international schedules. He can always return when he is doing well,

Answer 149

No, never justified by me to drop Dravid.

He is class n well technique player with all qualities of gentleman cricketer. Just on basis of 6 bad innings u can't drop him. In his career all time he played good innings in critical situations when India needed most, when others were not performing. I m always with dravid.

Answer 150

Yes...We should not always depend on a single player. We should follow the strategies of Australians where players are selected based on their current form and not past history. Let us give a chance to Dravid to get back to his original form and capture his place in the team.

Answer 151

India is famous for politics. Anything can happen in our Country, nothing to do with performance. I personally feel, Dravid should have been in the ODI.

Answer 152

The selectors did 100 percent perfect. All the Indians are expecting the India team should come up like Australia team .. In Australia they will drop the players if he doesnt perform well for a couple of series even it happened for mark waugh a senior player. so we have to give chance for others to reach high.... all the best for Indian Team.

Answer 153

No. it is ridicules to see different yard sticks are applied to different players. it was Dravid who had kept the wickets, opened the innings and gave solidarity to the innings in difficult situations.

If GANGOO, WIROO can continue then THE WALL has 100% more stakes for his place in team.

it is wrong to harp the yougsters RAGA. If we are serious then we should try with the fresh lot and give rest to all seniors and promote second rung as seniors.

Answer 154

I think dropping karthik was a right move,but dropping a great player like dravid is really terribe.he is the only player in india who plays according to the situation.whatever it may be,raina and badrinath should be placed in playing X1 after their brilliant show in the challenger tropy.thats it.

Answer 155

No. Dravid is now being treated as Sourav was treated in the recent past. The selection committee should have to set a guide line for selection.

Answer 156

No. Dravid shouldnt be dropped from the squad.About khartik he has already got a chance.Dravid is an expearence player ,he has proved in critical circumstances when india needed him

Answer 157

None of them.



Why u ppl so easily forget the successes he (Dravid) provided india. He called "the Wall" and he is still a WALL. He is a classi player. dhoni, Yuvaraj etc.... are ordinary players. if they are in form thay perform.

I think to remember Class is permanent while form is tempary.

Answer 158

no Dravid cannot be dropped like this . He has servered

as a valued player & captain for Indian . How one can throw

him like this ? Itmay be because He expressed that a captain

has to face lot of diifficulties . HIs opinoion in tue & genuine.

Vegsarkar may not lilke this , so he might have taken this decision , which absolutely unfair. DRAvid U ARE WECOME FOR INDIA.

Answer 159

It is too harsh decision to make your Home Front Wall to Remove.



He is the man from the Front to protect without Guards.



Just because wall has dusted by others it is unfare to remove the wall. Not evening thinking of roof falling without wall.



It is not a good taste. Rather it is a toast for the New cap.



Present Cap is the product of Great Wall. Not to forget the patience,talent,UN-selfishness,Belonging,dedication,Patriotism,Trust,Faith and a Team member.

Answer 160

I don't give a damn as to who is dropped from the cricket team and who plays.



Would people stop asking dumb questions and use this medium to engage in something meaningful?



There are much more important issues on the national agenda that need exchange of views and opinions amongst the common crowd than discussing cricket!

Answer 161

no. our weakness is lack in strength of middle order in pressure situation.. between india &pakistan the match is full of pressure. The team will win the match which handle the pressure situation..... dravid is kind of player which can handle the pressure situation more than other players in the world... so dropping dravid against pakistan is not good for india.....

Answer 162

I personally feel that India will suffer for this decision of BCCI as Rahul Dravid always played as a sheet anchor for the country

Answer 163

i think the selectors are trying to show that they can make tough decisions although they are doing no good 4 team by dropping out rahul dravid, who was captain of indian team just a couple of months. in case of dinesh kartik, he is young and he should not be feel let down. but rahul is still one the best cricketer we have today. the selectrors

are nothing but are "bunch of crooks"

Answer 164

Dropping Dravid is justified but why Dinesh Kaarthik ?

Answer 165

if dravid has been dropped on the ground that he is not if form, sachin should have been dropped when was out of form so many times.why stepmotherly treatmentfor dravid.the selectors should not have one yardstick for bombay and another for other states in south.history will reveal this. suspicion grows about the relationship betweenvengsarkar and dravid.this requires a thorough investigation.

Answer 166

dravid should remember his own conviction and statements as a captain. He did not want to be disturbed by freinds not in form and wanted free hand..

so is the case witrh every captain.

since dhoni and boys have done wonderful by defeating Australia in 20-20,.I feel Dhoni and boys should be given suitable environment without any pressure and hesitation to play.

Old guys waste overs,play slow pace make run rate an issue and freedom to fire the opposite team very difficult infact for cool captain. More over young blood is hungry of reputation unlike old guns. who leave bat for co ca cola bottle in add shoot.why should bat not dishonour them in return.Infact

focus of new boys and team india are compatable with hunt for do or die, to excell-not giving match for nothing. we saw fighting spirit in last game,which was missing previously in several sessions. which is also missing in all old guards.

hope point is clear to others who feel india is spineless without the three big guns of past days.

I really feel india needs to be bold in giving batton to young boys and demanding repeated performance,and sincere visible fight to win which they have already shown.

moreover when india loses with sachin,dravid and ganguli then our experts say nahi chale.age chalege.ridiculous!

We must say that new group ko chalne padega-.

let us demand above Without any complacency. regards.

these people should gracefully retire like gavaskar ,kapil and make room for others instead of becoming funny..watch out instead of being watched and abused.

again regards.

Answer 167

C. They deserve atleast to be in 16 member squad and according to the need they could have been accomodated as I think they still have the capacity to deliver in odd situations, but once again lets not be sentimental and think of Team India which should deliver the goods as expected to mass hysteria.



Any player, irrespective of his personal contribution/s in the past, should accept the public mandate to give way to persons who are promising and have demonstrated their capacity by way of their domestic or other achievements to steer Team India to victory and this rule should apply to one and all, irrespective of their seniority in the team or other close proximity to influency, like to BCCI or the captain or coach, et al



I hope like Ganguly and Sehwag, these people or anyone who is dropped, should go back put their thinking cap on, and improve their short comings and prove their mettle.



Jai Hind.....Amar Kewlani, Bhayandar

Answer 168

it is absolutely correct. but he should be included in the test matches.Now a days youngsters are very much enthusiastic and energetic in the field but not like seniors. So omission of Dravid is acceptable. And even sachin has also to be dropped. He has to give the way to the Youngsters.

Answer 169

Hi,



Is this going to Solve the following pressing problems of our mother nation :



1. Poverty



2. Unemployement



3. Underprevileged status of many of our India brothers and

sisters.





I really do not understand why people give so much importance to Cricket which is not even our National Game.



A Partiotic Indian fortunate to be born on 15th August.

Answer 170

Its not an good decision to drop Dravid from Team, has he has the experience *** good batting skill ! he should havent be dropped... if he is not in form for 5 matches, how can we judge that he is not a good player and remove him from squad??? A blunder

Answer 171

Someone (Dravid) has to go out because he is in the poorest form among the trio. In between (of phase out period) the youngstors has to fit them well. After all we have to be serious about the future. Over & above I feel Sachin is still the best amoung all the batssman, so no question of phasing out in next 2 years.

Answer 172

Yes Correct

Answer 173

it is a very stupid decision made by the selectors . they must not look at previous records becoz every player goes throgh a bad patch .

I really wanted to see rahul dravid playing but now when he is dropped , i dont have any kind of expectation from the indian squad .

Answer 174

no

dravids past performance shows that his record against pak is incredible and leaving such a good player out will not lead indian cri anywhere.....

it just shows how the wall of indian cri has been dropped...

india will definately miss their no 3 batsmen for sure......

and among the present players dravid is one among the three senior players and an x captain..so india will definately miss the experience off the wall....

Answer 175

100% correct when player like ganguly was dropped for not performing same case apply to dravid and karthick also.past is past if u r not performing at the top level give chance to other to prove.

Answer 176

Dropping Dravid and Karthik is ok.Coz both were struggling to perform and they need a break to get back to their form.



But onething which is very surprising is Sehwag inclusion irrespective of his poor form.



BCCI should have given a chance to Badrinath & Raina who are in very good form.

Answer 177

dropping dravid is fine instead of kartik both sourav and sachin should be dropped for company. how long these 3 live in the past glory?Karthik is a better keeper any day than dhoni.but dhoni is a better captain.

the deserved get de- served or get the reserved bench in indian cricket!!!

Answer 178

a. NOT CORRECT

b.No Batsman like Dravid can make Indian team rich.

c. Seniors are gold & pillars of the Indian team.Their presence can make the juniors enthuastic,besides they can get tips from them.One 20-20 can not prove that only juniors can play against team like Australia, Srilanka and Pakistan.

Answer 179

i would say dinesh has got a lot of chances...he failed in both the england as well the oz series...

but dravid has just gone thru a lean patch in oz series n he is a kind of player who can get back to form with ease...

droppin him for sehwag is the biggest mistake the selectors hav done n thy ll surely pay for tat...sehwag is an erratic player n he didnt do much to gain a spot....

bringing young players is gud,but it wont prove for long,,,

young players wont be able to perform in the comin aus series as none are technically sound...

if u want to rest dravid,then u have to play a gud technical player like him and i think S badrinath can prove gud if he gets a chance to play...

Answer 180

It is a right decision. Did Dravid justify to the nation why he dumped the captaincy suddenly without ryme or reason. did he justify why sehwag kept getting picked despite being a failure. did he justify why saurav was kept us. He did precious little rather than remaining in the shadow of greg chappel. he deserved the kick out of the team.

Answer 181

My answer is - C...



Just because of loosing performance in one series, doesnt mean that he is lacking in performance. With the help of Dravid Indianteam has won many matches. And sometimes he alone used to stand through out the innings and that is why he has been named as Mr.Depenedable of our Country. I believe experience matters more.

Answer 182

How does it feel to have a taste of your own bitter medicine, Mr. Rahul Dravid? Cool your heels for a while and hopefully return to the team, a much chastened and better human being. You can include this experience when you plan to write your memoirs.

Answer 183

It's not correct ,but the board wants to give the rest to senior players one by one for further good result which is necessary also ,but it is un fortunately happend with Dravid, initially the rest is given to Dravid.Regularly the rest should be given to other senior players also.

Answer 184

Rest has to be given to Rahul Dravid for his physical and mentally rest and Karthik should be included in the squad.

Answer 185

Dravid should be out of the team.... But why kartik is dropped from the ODI squad is hard to believe..

Answer 186

No... Just I Want to ask one question... Is there any batsman in all the way for egg Technically equal to him.... One more thing if they leave Dravid or Kumble They wont win even single test... Its an open challenge.... He failed perform in single series if they counted this is drawback of player then no one will be in the team..

Answer 187

I think what is happened nothing but tit for tat.When Dravid was captain than team was Kiron more+Cheppale+Dravid=Sourav rested or out from the team without any reason though sourav palyed well in pakisthan.

Now reverse palying started and team is Vengi+anti dravid group= Dravid is out.

now why Virendra?Mera bharat mahan.......

Answer 188

i will never support this.even if dinesh karthik was sent out there was not a problem but dravid has to be there in the team.what i want to say is that dont forget the past.i am sure that dravid will regain his form back.

Answer 189

Our new players are enough to take the cup like 20-20. Moreover, enough new players and comingup. Just revise the wording...Old is not Gold...It is a real Junk..."We should drop Dravid, Thandulkar and Ganguly"...Not any others...

Answer 190

Yes I Totally Agree with the Dropping of Rahul Dravid as looking at his recent form,He looks to me out of form no doubt he is a class player,But he should not take his palce for granted Hats off of to the selectors, I want to see when they will have the guts to drop Sachin too..........

Answer 191

YES! Undoubtedly the right move ( for a change !) from the Selectors!! This should serve as a strong message to all and none can take their place in the squad for granted.



If one player is out of form, it is always wise to drop him and include a youngster instead!!

Answer 192

REST FOR MR VENGSARKAR!!!!

1-Just after joining as Chief selectot He said no telent in India ...See now !!!



2-Merit means omitting man of the series- Sureh Raina.



3-Merit means omitting man of the match- Dinesh Karthick.



4-Merit means omitting consistant performers- Badrinath, Parthiv Patel, Munaf patel, Manoj

Tiwary and Joginder Sharma.



6-Merit means omitting a batman who played in all positions for team-Dravid.



7-Merit means slecting a player on the basis on past record- Virender, Ganguly.



8- He created the issue of Seniors & juniors ...see what he is saying today..



VENGSARKAR NEEDS A BREAK. HE IS A ONE DIMENTIONAL SELECTOR.

Answer 193

dravid is a great player.He is one of the successful captain of india, its true that he is not palyed well played in home series against australia it does'nt mean that selector's dropped him against pakistan its a big series for us.They have to give chance to dravid for next 3 ODI'S.Then dravid will prove waht he is. Because is a wall.

Answer 194

Dravid is known as 'THE WALL'.all of us know this.if there is no dravid there's no team india.he just failed in 4 matches.for them it is not right way to drop dravid.so many juniors had learned tips from dravid.dont forget that dravid is cricketer of year. karthik is small player.but his play is experienced.karthik's foot work is excellent. so i wont agree with bcci.

Answer 195

c. how can a great player dravid can be drop from a important series against pakistan '

pakistan blower fear to blow at dravid

pakistan will win the series they will white wash india

without dravid india cannot win

shoaib akhtar is back and no one can play him better than dravid

sachin and ganguly get ready to be drop from india team ur turn is coming soon

Answer 196

b.No I want dravid to play odi and wast lot of delivers and put pressure on dhoni and yuvaraj singh again and again .batting collapse I want to see.

Answer 197

dravid is a key player and great wall of india during the toughest situation so he dropped from the odi squad is not correct.

Answer 198

No i dont think it was justified but yes from my point of view its reasonable to let dravid out of the team for some time and it should be done to each individial who is not performing well from quite some time..The time has already been given to him so many times but he is consistently not performing good..So we should have to adapt these measures to see improvement in the indian cricket....thanks

Answer 199

my answer to this question is d (ie.,1000% correct).I just want to ask them one question what they had experienced till 300-400 ODI only they know how to play individual game.They even not fit enough to play test matches.But the youngsters r very much adaptive to the situation and playing their team games which is very much essential in every cricket.We ppl r seeing whether sachin hits century or sourav hits century or dravid hits century.Scoring centuries by consuming 150-200 balls is a childish cricket this wont work out in ODIs scoring runs should be greater than consumption of balls.......so just show the trios a red card and throw them out of the cricket....and regarding Karthick he seems to be out of form he should be asked to play local matches to fit for ODIs....

Answer 200

Look at Dhoni's performance in the T20....he has played it like one-dayers, per ball run.He plays one-days like test, and in Test he is always in hurry.

We would like someone to teach him the style of playing in typical games.Who else than Rahul would explain him? But yes, lets wait for the Pak series then have a say.

Answer 201

Yes of course, both are more Test players and especially Dravid who is blocking the entry of some very good new entrants.

Answer 202

Yes.

I think it is justified.Dravid and karthk have been low on form in recent times specially in ODI's.If their removal can give someone else in form a chance ,it will be great for the team and for both dravid and the batsmen chosen in his place.

Answer 203

Yes , dravid is a test player and odi player.

But karthik should be in the team as he a stroke player and scores quickly.

Answer 204

C. My own comment..........



I want Drevid to play because most of the time for chasing target our team needs one consistant player for stand at one end. In this time Dravid is only one person who can do this.

Answer 205

Yes,

It should be the policy of our country who so ever is not playing drop them from the team so another player should play.

unable to understand that why there is a question of form or out of form where as other countries players does have this kind of situation with them.

A player has been kept in to the team for play, not for enjoying the luxury.

Answer 206

a. ok



c. droping dravid is not a fair he is a experienced batsman and maintained well cricket and as far as karthik he is doing better in domestic cricket in future he can do his best.

But selecting shewag is no needed as he got already lot of chances eventhough he is failing then why the selectors doing the same mistake we dont know ?

Answer 207

This is just one of the horrendous decisions taken by the people who run cricket in India, as the majority of them are people who are without any cricketing background and the one with the background are forced to follow the majority the nation will be taken for a ride

Answer 208

NOT A CORRECT DECISION.

I AM A FAN OF SACHIN AND SO OF DRAVID. THE BLOODY PROBLEM WITH OUR BCCI & CO IS THAT THEY PLAY MORE POLITICS THEN LET THE PLAYERS PLAY THE GAME.

GANGULY HAD MUCH MORE FREEDOM AS A CAPTAIN AND SO HE HE HAS THE BEST HISTORY- WHY BECAUSE JAGMOHAN DALMIA LET HIM HAVE HIS WAY.



DRAVID IS THE PERFECT GENTLEMAN OF THE GAME AND THEY ARE WRECKING VENGENCE AGAINST HIM AS HE PROBABLY HAS NO POLITICAL CLOUT EXCEPT HIS AVERAGES TO TALK FOR HIM.



HE IS EVEN MORE DEPENDABLE FOR MAIN STAY THEN ANY ONE ELSE- THESE LEAN PATCHES HAPPEN

AND THE BCCI WILL REALISE. THEY HAVE THE MONEY AND THEREFORE ARE CALLING THE SHOTS IT IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY KAPILS ICL SHOULD SUCEED IT HAS ALREADY STARTED SHOWING DIVIDENDS FOR PLAYERS BY BCCI LOSSENING ITS PURSE STRINGS.





GOD HELPS THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THEMSELVES DRAVID IS ONE OF THEM GOD SPEED TO HIM.

Answer 209

When the selectors did not allow Virendra Shewag to bask in his previous glory & retain him why should they retain Dravid in ODIs. His current form has been absolute dismissal. Why they chose to bring Shewag back when Gambhir & Uttahppa are doing well beats me.

Answer 210

i think if performance and form is the criteria then sehwag should also be dropped if dravid is poor in just 8 ODI's and sehawag is out of form more than year. selectors have done bog mistake. they should consider drsvid in team as he is most successfull player overseas his experince also may help youngsters in foriegn countries

Answer 211

Dravid is a class...he jus lost his form..that too..in the very recent series...Selectors are only keen in monkeys that can jump for a while....rather than looking for some1 who defended us from disastrous situations. U got a upcoming series against Australia and all of us know well that who can play against the Aussie bowling attack at Australia?....Dropping Dravid & Dinesh at this juncture is a sin....can't imagine Sehwag back in the place of Dravid...& Is he successful player in that place alteast?..If so wat was his average in one down?........

Answer 212

It's justified but the same would have done long back. We should give chance to upcoming youngsters. India has so many talented cricketers we should sack the seniors who are very old now and played so much of cricket and money too. They are only playing for money and not for the country. We should give them a permanent break. that's it.

Answer 213

I think he must be cursing himself due to the omission from the Indian team.When the team was performing well under his captaincy, then what is the need of resigning from captaincy.Although he is out of form recently, if he would have continue with the captaincy then he will not be dropped from team for the upcoming pakistan series.

Answer 214

Justice and India are two poles apart. The literal english meaning of justice has no meaning in Indian context.

Though camouflaging is very specific Indian art and everything appears just.

Its not just cricket but every sphere of social life.

Answer 215

If Dravid plays well in the first one or two matches in a series he should be allowed to play. If he fails in the intial matches of the series, he is a failure in the series.

Answer 216

Yes..Ofcourse... Droping a man from the squad does not mean that it is the end of the carrier. He can always comes back after prooving in the domestic squad... but if he proves himself he should be taken back and the other who is nt performing well should be droped. IN ANOTHER WORDS IT SHOULD BE (THE RULE OR THE SYSTEM) APPLICABLE FOR ALL SQUAD.

Answer 217

yes, it is right. dravid is getting old, fielding poorly and losing his reflexes. he didn't find his rhythem.

karthik is totally out of form.

when there are other worthwhile younger players who are in form, the out of form players have to give way. only 11 can play and the best 11 must play. past glory or comparisons don't solve any problem

Answer 218

B)NO.

Rahul Dravid done in past. Person doing past will perform in future. Error will be done by human its nature we have to give a opportunity to clear the error. Rahul is BEST and THE BEST FOREVER.

Answer 219

If one beleives in destiny then nothing is right or wrong. Just look at Sachin's destiny. All his failures have always been overlooked by one and all and he still continues to be in the team. One just talks of his averages and not the responsibilities which Rahul and his ilks had to undertake while performing. Selectors / public and even God has always had no choice in his case. It is purely destiny !!!!

Answer 220

yes,because he didn't fit in the odi squad. he has a capability to play long innings but he play little too slow which is not suited the odi.ofcourse he has a great record but now he is out of form.also there are too many youngsters waiting for the opportunity to play for india.age is also one of the factor which is against him.

Answer 221

No - we know Rahul is running from badpatch but how can you forgot his provious match winning innings & I am sure he has ablitiy to come out like a solid batsman & we also know yet we have no relplacement for batsman like Dravid so lets keep your fingre cross " best of luck Rahul "

Answer 222

No, they r doing very much wrong.

They must b joking by dropping Dravid out of team, common, they r not in their senses. He is d best player, much much better than so called Sachin n Sehwag......................

They should take back Dravid in d team.

He is world class player, none in d team has so gud technique of playing.

Answer 223

no it is not correct because dravid is the wall,& no one can climb

& dinesh karthik is the future for indian team

Answer 224

I don't think Dravid should be dropped. one of India's "finest batsmen",dravid and "the wall" there should be no matches without Dravid.as well Dilip Vengsaker is doing all politics sitting in BCCI.

Answer 225

no, dravid is a great player and you cannot treat him in this manner. we all know how he served india for past 10 years. it is rediculous if he was dropped. If dravid is dropped why not sachin and ganguly who are in the same situation

Answer 226

No need of Dravid Make him Coach

Answer 227

yes, it is right to drop dravid for first two one dayers because in current he's out of form &requried some rest and there are many young guys who are ready to delivery their best.although we need the dravid expricence both in test and one day because indians know that still he is the 'WALL OF INDIA'.

Answer 228

a Yes-100%correct

Answer 229

If Sehwag can find a place in the indian team, I don't find a reason why rahul or dinesh should not be in the team....Ithink the selectors should first be consistant before checking the players consistancy...

Answer 230

yups its right in d current format of d game d role of dravid &karthik has bees decreased especially from d arrivals for powerplays and dey r not geneuine match winners for ODI

FORMAT and dey r also not in good form so givin dem rest is good

but one thing for sure dravid shd nt be excluded frm test side

because he has been a star in test cric for years his class cannot be questioned

Answer 231

WE ALL ARE WRONG

.. it cant be said he is dropped.....

it is a chance 4 other young players to improve their there one day skill with this...

hope fully dravid wont be regretting as he has won a lot of matches for our country creating his name in the history...

he will be admired by all the indians..we stnd by him..

this is an oppurtunity to increase the potential of our young players.....who need to perform better...........JAI HIND

Answer 232

c. Both DD'S (Dravid and Dinesh) are Doomaagolees. Dinesh will pace the ball when he hits it correctly. Dravid will chase the ball when he sits correctly

Answer 233

Politics in any game is not good for the country & Vengsarkar has 100% used it to score the differences at the cost of country.He should immediately be replaced.

Answer 234

I am happy with this decision because these player got so many chances to prove themselves but they waste each and every chance also think about those player's who are standing next to door by performing regularly well in domestic cricket. I have so many player's name like Badrinath,Manoj Tiwari, Ranadev Bose & many. All these players are selected in team but they didn't got chance to play & proove them so whynot kickout those players hwo are not performing well either it is sachin,sourav,dhoni or yuvi

Answer 235

if conside about performance than dravid has not performed in last few matches , but there are other player as which desnt perform well but were in the team i wont like to name tham so in my concern he must the man to work in all situtions ,and vote for his come back & in concern of katik we cant compare both in a sama scale

Answer 236

No. it's not true that dravid wastes a lot of balls. For playing dependable innings, it's necessary to play slow at one end.

Answer 237

it looks justified for the time being.

but dinesh kartik's good performance for india blues shd.earn him a place from 3rd odi onwards.

well,dravid may prove himself in the coming ranji trophy matches.

Answer 238

a.100% correct with dravid india will not able to chase 400 runs target

Answer 239

yes-100% correct with respect to dravid but not with karthik.... bcoz karthik is team player... when he dont play well he encourages others atleast to lift the spirit of the team

Answer 240

No its not at all fair wid dis 2guys.......Dravid who was considered d wall of d indian team is now dropped widout giving much chance(5ODI)whereas Shewag was given atleast 12chances 2 prove himself......n finally he didnot succed......but Dravid used 2 handle d pressure when noone even bother abt d team.and c now he is dropped....so its not at all a correct decision.a man of such tremendous potential is out of d team.........

Answer 241

dravid should nt b played,he must be played in the domestic games till he regains form.but i think kaartik should be played bcoz apart from batting he fields real gud which lifts the whole team and stops a gud twenty runs.

Answer 242

yes, it's high time thAT these seniors should realise THAT it Would b there performance which can secure them a place in team not there past record...

and as far as i think alarms are ringing for SACHIN and SOURAV too........



however d exclusion of DINESH KArTHIk is quite unfortunate as now due to rotation strategy thAT d selectors are following, dis all chaos has been arised.....

Answer 243

Dravid was well able to play under any conditions.He can play a quick innings too.He will be the best to create good partnerships is well.

Answer 244

well u seem to be too much against Dravid friend!!!!!!

but as far as the selectors r concerned i smtimes feel they have got sm ill feelings for Rahul Dravid!!!!!!!!!

its rediculous to see just 5 poor games & hes out

& look who has got in Virender Sehwag!!!!!!!!!!

what a joke????hes failing everytime he is given chance

& for the record rahul dravid has got a better avg than Dhoni in last 15 or so one dayers!!!!!

& as far as Karthic is concerned i feel its correct to out him

1 day ago

Answer 245

Yes - 100% correct

Dravid does not play ODIs in the manner it should be played. Let him be for Test matches

As for Kartik, when he has to click he does'nt. So his dropping is justified.

Answer 246

a) absolutely correct.

c) We know dravid is good player. And his past record is also nice. but we should also see the other younger players. Let him play in county matches.

if any player is in form, allow entry to team, and who is out of form transfer him to county. if any player plays again nicely in county matches allow in team with respects.

Answer 247

SIR IAN BOTHAM says india has 11 international teams with 11 all rounders average age 24,but till they get chance their age goes 2 34. with so much youngsters u cant rely on one old horse.dravid is good batsmen just.we need all rounders. from 20million cricket players i think we can have 11 players.20-20 world cup remember

Answer 248

Dravid is dropped not for ever.Only for two matches.If the youngesters can fill his gap in this two matches let him take rest for this series.His last ten match summery shows he should get some rest.

Answer 249

Yes it is. Any one who is not performing has to go out. It dosen't matter who is he, whether he is Dravid, Ganguly or Sachin. And I don't Know why Sachin is still in this team.

Answer 250

a) Yes- 100% correct

c) I think Dravid is too inefficient to play

Answer 251

he s the most technically supported batsman in the squad.except sachin no other batsman can enjoy the seaming conditions.remember what both of them done in thee 4 th odi against pak in 2004 India's tour of pak.he may need some time.we should support him .

Answer 252

c. Either / or , you have to keep trust on selectors. They are also Indian.Like me,they also wishes that India should win. By qualification, they are the best judge without any doubt. Like DADA,Mr. Wall will fight back and join the team,i believe.

Answer 253

YES,i think that is comletely justified on parts of those who are waiting to be selected in the team. as far as dravid is concerned he can show and prove himself in tests

Answer 254

yes, opting out Dravid is fair enough as youngsters should get chance . and dhoni and boys are playing well . this young team is playing well under pressures as well and proving their there mettle .

Answer 255

if sewag's inclusion in the team inspite of his continued poor form and if s.badrinath's xclusion from the team( without giving the poor fellow a chance and inspite of his best performance in the recently concluded challenger's trophy) is justifed,then the dropping of dravid and dinesh is also justified!!!!!!???????(xclamatery mark is for us and the question mark is for our selectors)

Answer 256

Dropping both rahul & dinesh is not justified, if you think that this is justified y u r giving chances to viru, agarkar who are not at all showing their performences.



both dravid & dinesh should have given oppurtunity in this series to prove themselves.

Answer 257

Yes - 100% correct because he is not in correct form as per I can infer from his performance in seriers against Aussies

Answer 258

i want Dravid back into the squad because he is the key player of indian squad. although he is not in form against Austrelia, but he is a class player. he deserve back in the squad.

Answer 259

No.i want dravid to play.every one has d bad patches in life.dravid is also facing the same.if this is decision for Dravid then it should be same for each and every player.

Answer 260

yes dravid is to be placed in india team so that he can support sachin and ganguly in wasting the balls totally three will share the complete 50overs.three will competete each other in playing more number of balls.

Answer 261

In no way was dravids non selection fair.would sachin have been dropped if he had a bad series.of course not he is from mumbai

Answer 262

ya ofcourse if sm1 is not in gud form then the others should get a chance to prove theirselves. Rules should be applicable for every one equally. he Rahul wants to come back in team so he have to prove himself and we cant take risks in such a valuable series by having a out of form player in team.

Answer 263

YESSS..it is absolutely right ,,,because of the fact that they have been constant underperformers...i think Rahul better suites in the MAX life insurance advertisment and Kartik should only be called for fielding..

Answer 264

No..? this is very bad news to Indian cricket fans, Dravid is not a normal cricket player,he completed 10,000 runs in one day cricket. he is evergreen player at one down,there is no player for that place till in Indian cricket team.

Answer 265

yes it is correct , we need dravid and karthick to prove themselves in the national cricket level as like ganguly did. this will definitely make changes with all the cricketers

Answer 266

It is enough if we have one senior(of the three) in a match against Pakistan so that we can give more chances to the waiting juniors.

Dravid can come back later if necessary.I think Karthik got his chances already.So he can wait.

Answer 267

no i think this is injustice with rahul dravid,he must be in the one day squad with other team members, istead of sehwag dravid must be int he squad even kartik is doing well in recent challenger trophy so he is the best option inplace of sehwag

Answer 268

(a).yes ,correct.

(c) he is not in form.resting out of matches will serve good for dravid & team as he will bounce back with more zeal & consistency like ganguly. yougers shall get a chance & shall be tested.

Answer 269

a- dropping of dravid and kartik is corret because there r many plyers waiting for plying. thay should hav given opportunity 2 design there carrier.

Answer 270

He should have dropped long back, frankly speaking he is not a OD material. But at the same time he is one of the greatest test match player.

Answer 271

yes dropping dravid is right because right now he was not mentally strong because of captaincy resignation and he was not enjoying the game.

But dropping DINESH KARTHIK is not fair he is good young upcoming player.

Answer 272

definately yes, dravid had to be out ,wall had become very stifffffffff

and kartik has played only one knock that is definately promissing for future but not for the time

Answer 273

no itz not at all correct to drop Dravid from the pak odi..



He's is one of the best & class player we have in the team. ... ....



He must play in all the matches .....

Answer 274

yes dravid dropped the team good & very hard decgan

Answer 275

yes dravid' s drop fom team is 100% correct . his performance is too bad in recent matches .i think sachin & ganguly too spell from team permanantly for the welfare of team to win in future matches.

Answer 276

YES. IT'S ABSOULUTELY CORRECT.I AM SAYING THIS NOT ONLY BECAUSE OF HIS AGE.NOW-A-DAYS DRAVID IS NOT PLAYING WELL, HE WASTES THE DELIVERIES AND GOES BACK TO THE PAVILLION WITHOUT SCORING RUNS.I THINK IT'S 100% CORRECT DECISION BY THE SELECTORS.

Answer 277

Dravid not played well against england also. after leaving captancy he is not looking comfortable while batting. his filding in slips also not upto his own standard. so dropping him is correct. dinesh is unluck , yuvraj, robin are playing nice and both are fast while filding.

Answer 278

no dravid must to play because if people think that dravid is not in form it does"nt mean that he has to dropped and dont think that i am a fan because its all about game.

Answer 279

option - my dialogue i.e if u compare him with Sachin, then sachin has more wasted matches without performing. Dravid id a serios boy of cricker compared to sachin who plays for himself.!

Answer 280

no not at all...Dravid should be very much present in the team to carry on the innings when there is fall of quick wickets

Answer 281

HE IS THE WALL

IT IS A IMMATURE DECISION TO BE TAKEN BY SELECTION COMMITTE.

INDIAN TEAM MINUS RAHUL DRAVID= A COMPLETE COLLAPSE OF BATTING ORDER.

Answer 282

It is the correct disition of 'BCCI', because Rahul was not in form in last 10 odi matches. So it is a good disition.

Answer 283

i think so dravid should not b dropped bcoz of his experience

and his excellent record against pakistan but dinesh has to b dropped bcoz of his recent poor form

Answer 284

In any case, most of the matches would be fixed..so why to bother who comes in and who goes out...



I request all of us to focus on other sports like athletics, swimming, gymnastics, tennis, etc...

its a shame with a population of 1,129,866,154 (July '07 data) that we cant even win a single gold in these events.



pls dont ask these kind of questions anymore. thank you.

Answer 285

Its an impulsive decision. He has been punished for resigning from captaincy at his will. He has enough credits to his name to still secure a position in any team of the world at present.

Answer 286

dravid he is excellet player in one day as well as test matchs.

selection commitee members of BCCI playing political game selection time

its a political drama of members commite

sehwag is not eligible for playing in pakistan series

Answer 287

i think karthik should be out but why dravid? he is better than other senior players in the team.

Answer 288

Dravid should be in team. No problem even sachin has dropped .

Answer 289

it's a wrong decision to leave rahul dravid from the team. he's a great player for india

Answer 290

ans.

droping od dravid is good,current situation, because of to allows t new commers pick up situation.even though is not continue, dravid is player like world, we could not loose good playes

Answer 291

c. He is the great wall of our Indian Cricket Team. So he is a defence although no offence from his side. Without proper defence no offence will work, although it may seem to work at first.

So he should not be dropped.

Answer 292

BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB

It's a wrong decision taken by Dilip Vengeskar's selection cmty.... there is no relation bt performance of dravid and his selection but some other (Dilip factor)....

Answer 293

no it is not correct decision by the selectors .DRAVID is a player on whom team INDIA is more reliable to SEHWAG .His good knocks in the middle order put INDIA on victory mountain many times .

Answer 294

a.) Yes , correct. Selection of the players should be as per their Forms . Just because of seniority no player should find place.

Answer 295

as we have seen dravid is not in his best form he should be kept out of the team.denish kartik is not given the chance to perform.

Answer 296

Let Dravid go to hell?

why Karthik? Let him in!!!

Answer 297

because dravid&karthik was out of form but more youngsters playing very well

Answer 298

b-no,dravid was always a good player on fast pitches i.e in australia,england& south africa whereas mahendra singh dhoni who is a free-hitter what he did in south afrrica& in england you know&what sahwag did in recent matches you know. you always noticed in o.d.i matches i.e in england only slow scorers were doing well even i want to see v.v.s laxman in the team again

Answer 299

yes - 100% correct.





Tendulkar and Powar should also follow suit otherwise India cannot win but can always loose

Answer 300

yes, its justified coz dravid shud concentrate more on d game n less on advertising adds, coz nowdays players r playin less n showin dere supriority more, lyk dravid comes in add of brittania n 11 of his latest adds - castrol gtx magnetic.....dese things r gettin his mind off d game......he's lso on d same lyn where once 10dulkar was !!! so now frm my views d wall shud forget alll dese adds till he'sn't stongly prepared enough 2 show his greatness , .not by advertements but by his strength of playin cricket otherwise it ll result in d FALL OF D WALL!!



on d other hand karthik is playin welll but nt upto d mark so frm my views he shud hav been taken in d team!!

Answer 301

a.RAHUL AND KARTHIK HAVE FAILED TO SCORE FOR THE PAST TEN ODIS S. I DON'T THINK THE SELECTION COMMITTEE SHOULD PROVIDE THIS MANY CHANCES FOR A PLAYER TO PERFORM.IN MY OPINION IF A PLAYER DOES NOT PERFORM FOR TWO OR THREE CONSECUTIVE MATCHES HE SHOULD BE DROPPED FROM THE PLAYING ELEVEN AND IF HE DOES NOT PERFORM WELL EVEN AFTER THIS(ON LATER PROVIDING AN OPPURTUNITY) HE SHOULD BE DROPPED FROM THE SIDE.

Answer 302

no, not correct, because the team definitely need a wall in a bad siuation. Without a wall you cannot write a victry

Answer 303

NO I WANT DRAVID AS A PLAYER IN THE MIDDLE ORDER BECAUSE I AM SAYING TO THE WHOLE COUNTRY THAT AFTER COME BACK HE WILL HIT SOME CENTURIES IN THE UPCOMING AUSTARLIAN TOUR.......

Answer 304

a)



There are lakhs and lakhas of players in this country.. when someone is not there then only they will get chance... Atleast Dravid can take a break and comeback freshly...

Answer 305

yes 101% correct. i think sachin and ganguly and old members should be dropped especially shewag he is a waste fellow and fit for nothing player in the team.

Answer 306

Yes, because he did't play well for last one year and his average is very low. He wasting so many balls. He has to improve his batting. We can give chance for five day matchs.

Answer 307

he is only the best player in the indian team, many time he has done a great job for the indian team. he plays for the team not for himself like others

Answer 308

no he is one of our best batsman and also the most experinced cricketer.Just because he is in touch now a days does not mean that u should drop him He is the pillar of the middle order batting line up.

Answer 309

O yeah its right man. Its an awesome decision. Yongers will play like mad dogs [20-20] & less experience will definately cause INDIA big big ducks.

Answer 310

a) correct

c) yes it is correct , because it seems that India produced so many stars but could not form a better team, Now its time to built the best team.

Answer 311

YEs -100 % correct

Answer 312

According to me it's injustice with them.

i want them in the team bcoz when they made the team win no person remembers and but when others made won everyone re members.

when they waste deliveries it's a curse but when others waste it's a boon to team?

Answer 313

dinesh kartik is ok but why RAHUL DRAVID, fOR your information he is the technically best player of the current team

Answer 314

why only dravid , ifeel even sachin and gangolly should have been droped ,retain the same team which got us world cup

Answer 315

Yes the lion has stopped roaring so he has to be set aside



he does not roar nor is furious.



There are mnay in indian team that can roar and are also furious



Thanks.

Answer 316

No,decision is completely wrong.Rahul is legendary player and it is not correct to react with him like that.10 matches is not enough to conclude about his performance.Don't forget his past contribution to indian cricket team.He deserve one more chance.

Answer 317

C) dravid is the best batsman right now..........no bloody player can replace "the wall"..........this decision is not fair..........karthik and sehwag do get a lot of chances even if they dont play.....................

Answer 318

b.NO--coz..i think that though dravid is not in form past few matches.but he is the best consistent player...still he is the WALL man..u cant judge just lik that..ppl who think that it is rite to drop dravid frm squad must have not seen past innings....neways..all the best team india....rock the ground..!!!



"cheers"

Akanksha

Answer 319

yes 100%

Answer 320

a yes 100% correct

Answer 321

My suggestion:Don't fall victim to media banners like "Match ka apradhi kaun?" or "Third umpire" etc.Don't get into critics debate for indian team.It's not so easy being indian cricket player.

Answer 322

dravid is the most xperienced n most reliable player in the team.but on other hand it is very important to give opportunities to our younger generation.

Answer 323

I don't thing selector took right decision .

It's not fair with selectors. Give a chance again, then I will be first person to be happy.

Answer 324

routine procedure of selection committee. sometimes it clicks,sometimes it flops...doesn't matter.One sixer and the Indians forget the previous chain of ducks.Long live Indian cricketers ! Long live the Bookies!

Answer 325

NO.A big no,becoz i feel it is so cruel to take such a decision against the player who had given immense of his contribution.

Answer 326

of course it is wrong............how can sehwag be selected instead of rahul dravid...? how can the wall so easily shatter???????

how an mr.dependable become mr.droppendable??????

the answer is just that the selectors have become or are trying new stunts

Answer 327

my answer is

its correct bcoz he godd for nothing.... he plays odi's like test matches he need 2 b given rest 4 sometime...

r else allowed 2 play only test matches.... just cant take risk allowing him 2 play n waste delivaries....



shaista

Answer 328

i want Mr. dravid in the team

Answer 329

no it is wrong to drop dravid from the squad

Answer 330

yes 100percent selectors did.both the players are out of form.let, give some time to play domestic cricket and proove them self.

Answer 331

a)it is 100 % correct and this had to be done to Sachin and sourav as well

b)he is not wasting so much deliveries in ods

c)

Answer 332

DRAVID IS NOT IN A GOOD FORM NOW.HE HAS ALSO DROPPED SOME CATCHES IN THE LAST SERIES TOO.

Answer 333

yes it is the right decision because both of them are out of form and can be a disadvantage for india against our arch rival Pakistan.

Answer 334

For dravid, it is fair, because it is said "jaisi karni, waisi bharni".. but as far as karthik is concerned i would say "Hard luck"..

Answer 335

a. Yes -100% correct

Answer 336

i wan new ppl to come n leave these old player out. nt onli dravid also sachin n all

Answer 337

ya it is correct , when bats man not in form he has to been given rest i.e he has to go back to his basics for domestic cricket get his form back and then he has to be placed into the team

Answer 338

yes DRAVID is out of form and not verry confident or agressivie

Answer 339

Yes, he is out of form and need to turn to basics i.e he need to play domestic cricket regain his form &rejoin ,& have the blast at bowlers.

Answer 340

hiiiiiiiiiii absolutli wrong to drop such an exp one&energetic young player it is the politics in the game we must oppose it

Answer 341

yes 100 % correct

Answer 342

no dinesh is a good player and has not been given proper chances but he wud come back.......and yeah.......for the wall do i need say..........india cant bat for 50 overs without him............................the sun the rain the wind nothing can stop him........ he will be back..........watch out guys........he is simply the best in the cosmos

Answer 343

99.9 % correct

every member should get the same treament in future

including captain or vice captain or company sponsered member or close to chairman of selector

Answer 344

yes, it right for dropping dravid so, he can get some rest, but. they should not dropped karcthik

Answer 345

a.yes-100%correct becousedravid is very slow player

Answer 346

c:::-> Dravid is one of the best btsman & has allot experience so he should not be droped espcialy against pak.

Answer 347

b i want dravid to play

Answer 348

not really , because both these players were not as good in lobbying and politics..................but probably their time's up................they should make way for youngsters by now......sachin . saurav , sehwag-there's a whole list of oldies from whom team India has to get rid of........why only poor dravid????????????????

Answer 349

yes .becoz dravid always waste d ball so d decision was corect.

Answer 350

yes i think it is justified because many young talents are waiting for one chance to prove. and why we are wasting time on that old great wall. they should give the chance to Young players.

Answer 351

Yes it is correct. They r not in form right now. They need to practice more to get in form first.

Answer 352

no.

dinesh karthik and dravid are good players

Answer 353

No I want the remaining senior citizens also to be removed

Answer 354

for me...the BCCi committe is relly out of dere mind...

for nt playin well in one series dey r thrashing dravid out of the team....this is nt gng to do any gud....one position is gng to b week....and other positions in in Indian line we well knw hw strng it is!!!!

so BCCI shld again think over it

Answer 355

yes 100%correct because now a day lot of young star available....., early day only like one man army not now..., give more chance to younger

Answer 356

yes they both r out of form. bringing back sewag is waste. Badrinath or raina should have been given chance.

Answer 357

He is a classical player.so he would be in the team.selectors made a big mistake by keeping rest.

Answer 358

a Yes100% correct

Answer 359

its totally incorrect,sachin was also out of form lot of times but he has never been dropped.yes its happens with everybody,dropping him and taking shewag who is out of form from last one year is not the solution.

Answer 360

(a) Yes-100% correct.

Answer 361

no- all the players went through a rough patch but they were not dropped.so why now? resting them is just an excuse

Answer 362

Its not a good decision made by selection committe.THE WALL should not b collapsed.

Answer 363

100% correct because they both have not shone

satisfactorily during the past events.

Answer 364

dravid OK , karthik not acceptable

Answer 365

yes because he haven t play a match winning century from last few ears

Answer 366

c:-dropping both is right but taking sehwag is wrong,raina or badrinath is ok at that place if going with performance.if selectors looking for opening option then only they are right.

Answer 367

Yes,I think that it is a good move.Dravid should try in test cricket at present.

Answer 368

yes.Dravid is getting old and slow.he needs to move to TEST matches now.

karthik,must be in the ODI.

Answer 369

a.yes-100% correct.



They have taken correct decision b'cause we need performed players not those who had done in past.b'cause past is past.

Answer 370

SACHIN SAURAV &DRAVID must retire .They have become unlucky for the young team.

Answer 371

A) Yes

Answer 372

no.dravid is wall of our team how they couldnt take dravid.he is cool person.without him dhoni is not going to win against pakistan.

Answer 373

no i dont think so that the selectors have done a right thing to the batsman of that calibre and they must feel sorry for him

Answer 374

a. yes-100% correct

Answer 375

no.

Answer 384

Please don't left Dravid from squad.Because he is very cool boy and coolness can win the match rather than run. Is not it ??????

Answer 385

yes they need to happen with them not only they both buth for who are in bed form since many years

Answer 394

a Yes, they should be dropped as they lack form it's a right move.

Answer 395

i think bcci should give one chance to them to inprove their to regain their batting skills & their batting fom so my advice is that they should have their name in squard in indian team with series against pakistan.

Answer 396

a.yes-100%correct

Answer 397
