Question

Are the Royal Challengers paying for Dravid's inefficiency?

Answer 1

What do you mean he is inefficient - he is the best of the lot. He is BEST, THE GREATEST.

RAHUL ROCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Answer 2

no

Answer 3

Poor Dravid. I do not think he is to blame for the defeat.

Is sheer bad luck. They both played well yesterday.

Answer 4

Rahul dravid is one of the best cricket players but he isnt a good captain as he cannot handle two things at a time he should  step down and give others a chance or he must prove himself in the next game itself

Answer 5

Dravid is not a good captain...i agree!

Answer 6

In this format a donkey can come smelling up roses like a smart *** like a former Aussie spinner has and the best of captains can be made scapegoats. You know what one over of Joginde Sharm did to Misba-u Ha in the T20 World Cup final.  And see where Sharm is in world cricket, not even selected and rightly so. One over of fame cannot match ten years hard work and reputation.It's the Format not the quality of the player that counts here.

Answer 7

Surely. Rahul is a fine Cricketer &person but not a good captain. He has proven his inefficiency again & again. Also his batting style does not suit the T20 format. 1 player alone can not win matches 4 u. A team has 2 hav 3 or 4 match winners. Not picking Misbah was a totally wrong decision. As per me Dravid should step down as captain.

Answer 8

Dravid is an unlucky guy.... he has my sympathy. His soberness has scripted his downfall. There is zaheer khan who will let 30 runs from 2 overs.... and dravid for some holy reason cannot drop him... wonder why? The old monk joshi has no juice in him and like a stupid moron dravid brings him to attack while two in-form left-handed batsmen are at the crease. Doesn't he know better? i have been watching cricket and i can come with better plans than him. Clearly he cannot drop boucher  and kallis... they just need to find their steam. e. All in all our team has the edge over all the team if the right balance is struck..... with anil kumble back into attack and zaheer learning the t20 art of bowling there wlll be five indespensible bowlers in steyn, praveen, zaheer, vinay/akhil, kumble..... if these can operate with full potential then the scoring will not be too high. Then the batsmen like jafer, dravid and the other classic styled one's can ace the innings easily... Its about time and i could see it in dravid's eyes after loosing to delhi that he now knows what he has to do exactly to be victorious..dravid is learning ... he is not a gambler he takes his time to learn and once done he will use what he has wisely.. he knows that he has team that does not look like a bomb but can be really poisonous , silent killers..( 13 run loss, 10 run loss). so even now my bet is on royal challengers... cause once they click as a unit they will look like clinical winners.

Answer 9

He is mainly good for test and to some extent ODI not for T20. In T20 there is no ball to waste. You are supposed to score runs fastly.

Answer 10

Dravid is the best gentleman and the best role model for others but he is the worst ever captain in the history of 20-20. Once again Misbah was left out and once again they paid badly for that decision. I know that Misbah will get his chance once Ross Taylor leaves but they needed both Misbah and Taylor together if they had to win any matches. Now even if Misbah comes back they will still be losing matches. Shane Warne on the other hand has been taking all the correct decisions whether on the field or off the field. Dravid has to surely step down from captaincy for his and his team's sake if they have to win any more matches otherwise you can bet that will lose all the remaining matches as well.

Answer 11

I think Dravid is more efficient than many of the other captions but this 20-20 format is not good and depends only on chance and roll.....

Answer 12

Of course not.

Dravid does his part by shuffling bowlers and getting d rite bowler to ball. He also did some great pieces of fielding and some good batting in the last game {vs daredevils}. The big problem also lies ahead as Royal Challengers need to come back soon before Indians win any game or two.

Royal Challengers have a faulty batting line-up. The biggest problem - their opening. Chanderpaul's gone back to town and he had also failed as an opener. Dravid himself couldn't work and even an aggressive T20 specialist Praveen Kumar and local boy Chiplin couldn't manage to add a useful opening stand. Besides Wasim Jaffer, nobody else could adjust to this position.

They are many problems which the captain can't solve. Fielding and bowling needs to be better. In their last two games, Royal Challengers missed the target by 14 runs (v/s CSK at B'lore) & 11 runs (vs Daredevils @ Delhi), and in the latter, Praveen Kumar, if batting at no.7/8 could have helped. They need is just an opener and a good fielder.
