1. Yes, I agree that he is an excellent batsman - perhaps amongst the top five in the world currently ...
2. No, he is not as good a skipper as he is a batsman - he needs to learn a lot more as a captain ...
3. May be - I don't know him as an individual so won't make any comment on this ...
4. No - let him at least become a better skipper than Ganguly ...

No doubt, he is an excellant player and may be a good skipper. If you compare with Ganguly, then no . As a player Dravid is more consistent than Ganguly but as a captain Ganguly got up in all aspects. Both players are very different as naturewise. Dravid is cool and little bit aggressive, Ganguly is sharp and very aggressive.

Dravid got an excellent batting technique for all times. A beloved man. He is cool-minded. Aggressiveness is required oftenly in the game. Ganguly was better than Dravid in this case. Dravid's consistancy and patience made him 'The Wall' but Ganguly's timing and aggressiveness made him the best match winner India has ever produced. For the same reason, Ganguly was a good captain.
Statistically, Dravid is greater than Ganguly.

Are u joking. Otherwise I should say Rahul is a good batsman but the worst captain.How can you compare with Ganguly. He is like a servant of the coach.Royal Bengal Tiger had a royal sensation

He is defenitely an excellent player, very calm and cool and an excellent gentleman too. While it will be too early comparing
his captaincy with Saurav Ganguly at this stage, he is defenitely doing a good job as Captain.

He is an excellent batsman but he has yet to prove himself as a captain at the moment Gangulee is the better captain between the two. If he is a good human being is hard to tell maybe he is but my guess is as good as yours. His close friends and relatives can tell about his human qualities better than we strangers. Is he a better human being than Gangulee? That question can not be answered objectively.

He is a good player and can play for a long time (that's why he's called 'The Wall'). I feel the Indian team's current state is the only reason for Ganguly's return.
