After the drama being played out in Indian Cricket over these last few months, I am pretty sure now that the Chairman of Selectors, the Colonel needs to be court marshalled to ensure that Indian cricket remains healthy. Now, we can understand why Rahul Dravid resigned..............
Sachin Tendulkar was made the vice-captian for the England Tour. The Mumbai lobby wanted Sachin to be the Captain and Vengsarkar was the man to put it right for them. sachin had agreed to take another shot at captaincy after the tour to Australia by which time Vengsarkar would be putting a lot of pressure on Dravid and then Dravid would be removed from captaincy when the team returned from Australia badly beaten and bruised. But Dravid called their bluff and resigned after a successful England tour and the Vengsarkar-Sachin coup went disarray. And now when Sachin was offered the captaincy, he declined because his past track record is not good and he does not want to be the one to lead his side to demolition in Australia..........It would have worked out so beautifully for the Mumbai lobby to have Sachin as captain in the easier matches after the tour Down Under but with Dravid being a step ahead of them, the plan now stands exposed..........
I wish we had more people like Rahul Dravid in Indian Cricket..........he is the only player who stands for credibility, dignity and respect...................
Post script: Just another example of his professionalism : In the Ranji match in which he scored 200, he was at all times wearing the clothes of Karnataka Team and Karnataka's cap and not the Indian dress..............I have seen a lot of players from Indian team playing domestic matches in their Indian dresses which is not permissible...........way to go Rahul............I take a bow....
Disclaimer : The above post is only my personal thought and opinion and I do not have any evidence to suggest that there was such an understanding between the persons concerned, and is only an interpretation of what could have happened given the circumstances and is speculation on my part.
