MEHBUB	U r wrong. One thing common- both r shrud and u r more shrud - because u know how to keep them happy and retain ur captaincy- even though u r worst ever captain for india with a very dirty mind - hitting team mates from behind. Ur show up is innocent - but people r now understanding that u r bigger politician than any other crketrs- u dont allow anybody to settle down so that he can b ready for next captaincy-u play dirty games with Sachin, sourav, shewag, bhaji, Zaheer, yuvi, pathan - sometimes thru coach, sometimes thru media and BCCI. U help india to exit from WC prelim round, champion trophy, white wash in SA- still nobody blames u -even though u r captain- what a great achievements. Go on take indian crkt to the next orbit -where no one can see the team. ( Posted: Thursday , May 10, 2007 at 13:13 )
captain cannot be blame for the defeat alone. the others seniors did not supported him. see gang and tendulkar, they just did not play to their potential bcoz they want that dravid should be stripped from captaincy and either ganguly or tendulkar to get that post. Rahul is an honest person but gang and tendulkar are bent upon playing politics.

Vorshal	Can''t compare Greg & Shastri: Dravid Very true and tactful response by Dravid. In my view, until we have toured Australia this winter, we should not comment on the coach(es). A performance against Bangladesh is not the same as against Australia or South Africa, notwithstanding the fact that we lost to Bangladesh recently. Should we have an Indian coach in the interregnum, we should give the Australian Tour job to both Ravi Shastri and Sunil Gavaskar, our best, at a price of their asking. After the tour, we should discuss our performance down under. Thank you. ( Posted: Thursday , May 10, 2007 at 06:50 )
Soulberry	Rahul Dravid would make a fine example of diplomacy and double-speak. While appearing to state the obvious and in a bland fashion, he has said exactly what he wants while leaving elbow space of "the audience reading too much into it" or "imagination working overtime", for himself. It is an art many strive to learn but not easily achieved. ( Posted: Thursday , May 10, 2007 at 01:16 )
