Re: The gamble failed



I am saying in my previous posts too just the same thing .. how could
dravid make the blunder of taking of pathan and not zaheer when pathan
was getting appreciable movement and zaheer was not .. to make matters
worst he presisited with ganguly looking for seam but not rembering
pathan(seems he has fixed plans) .. that was the blunder which costed
india the series..dravid is on the learning curve of captainincy but
for me Mr. Dravid you will be always remberered in my memory as a
captain who lost a winning series in pakistan like one ganguly did in
australia with parthiv patel fixation and i still remember steve waugh
saying that parthiv missed a stumping chance and made india not to win
a historic series ..whatever may be the faults of ganguly and i dont
desire him to be captain again but he never missed such chances as
dravid did.. he was better..
