I guess the fear psychosis of Greg Chappell that Ganguly might again get a vice like grip on Indian cricket rubbed off on Dravid. Now that Chappell is out of the scene and given the kind of demonstrable cooperation both Tendulkar and Ganguly gave during the recent tournaments including the World Cup, Dravid should feel assured that it will be a happy dressing room again with no apparent insecurity for anyone. Recall the way Ganguly gushed that Dravid was trying a few things on his own and the idea was to not confuse him with more, when Ravi Shastri asked Ganguly during the recent South Africa tour whether he gave any inputs to Dravid on the field. Unobtrusive he wanted to be, and same is the case with Tendulkar. I am sure they are enjoying their current stint with the Indian team without the burden of captaincy and from all indications, it is clear they would like it to be that way!
So, with any one as the coach, Dravid should agree to continue as Captain. In case Gavaskar and Amarnath are not available for any reason, Dav Whatmore will be the best choice as coach.

Hi,
I agree with you on this. I dont think it wud be wise to sack Rahul Dravid as the skipper. Some people might say that we need young blood as the next captain, but i am not too sure if the BCCI with its mentality wud do just that.
BTW, i am also associated with a cricket blog http://cricket.hedir.com/ these days. I would like to invite you to take a look at our blog and if you wish you can also share your views over there by becoming a co-author of the blog.
