how is the better captain sourav or dravid?

Answer 1

Equally good . Neither better nor waste .

Answer 2

Sourav ganguly is a much better captain than rahul dravid, he is known for his arrogance amongst other nations, but he has got the right attitude. And most important of all sourav doesn't declare an innings when sachin is batting not out 194 without warning him and giving him another over to complete back to back double centuries and become the worlds fourth player to do so. Rahul is never switched on, doesn't know where to put his field. And winning at home, or winning against west indies, can you compare that to what "sourav's boys" acheived in there last tour to Auastralia. Rahul is a good batsman and he is too humble to be a captain, same is sachin, a captain needs to have an attitude that sachin and dravid don't have, they are too nice to be captains.



Moreover Dravid can turn an easy win into a draw... this attitude comes from his name..Draw-vid. he he he just kidding. it was a lame joke.

Answer 3

Without a shadow of doubt at this stage Rahul Dravid is the better captain. Since he took over India has not lost a single series at home either Test or ODI and has infact won most of them. Also we won a test series in West Indies wich Sourav's boys couldnt manage. Also from a leader's point of view Dravid sets a great example by taking a lot of responsibility by consistently scoring runs. You can see how poor Ganguly's record as a batsman in his last 1-2 yrs of captaincy when he was thrown out of the team. Also Ganguly had about 20-25 matches with teams like Zimbabwe, Kenya, Bangladesh and if you take them out his win % is only 43 in ODI's whereas Dravid's without having played against these teams is 54%. Full credit to Ganguly the way he's come back but Dravid at the moment is much better captain.

Answer 4

Sourav has a better record as a captain but now we have Dravid who has not done too badly but it's a matter of perception. Some like Sourav's aggressive captainship while others like Dravid's cool temperament. I personally like a captain who is not a pushover. Yuvraj has that quality.

Answer 5

Sourav is the better of the two when asked for captainship..he is gr8 in field placing and most successful captain of india with more than 50% of wins..
as for dravid he finds form with bat even as captain which sourav didnt succeed...

Sourav is the better "captain" of the two

Answer 6

Sourav Ganguly is better that Dravid, because he always had a fighting spirit. He was independent and would come up with new strategies. Dravid is good too, but I don't think he is aggressive enough.

Answer 7

Saurav Ganguly was the captain of Indian Cricklet team for number of years, whereas Dravid has taken over captaincy not long ago. It will be unfair to compare Dravid and Ganguly on captaincy at this stage. So far dravid has done a fairly good job as captain

Answer 8

With the World Cup around the corner and the top eight
teams gunning to lift the most coveted trophy in the West Indies,
there is good news for Indian skipper Rahul Dravid. Statistics show
that the 'Wall' is India's most successful One-day captain among all
those who have captained India in at least 20 matches.

Under Dravid, India have won 32 of the 58 matches that have produced
results during his tenure. That's a success rate of 55%, just a
little higher than the 54% success rate that Sourav Ganguly,
Mohammad Azharuddin and Kapil Dev had. This may seem like a fine
point, but the statistics actually understate how much more
successful Dravid has been than his predecessors.

That's because, of the 62 One-day matches in which Dravid has
captained, only two have been played against a traditional minnow —
Zimbabwe in 2005 — while the rest have all been against the top
teams in world cricket.

In contrast, Ganguly had 31 wins against the likes of Bangladesh,
Zimbabwe, Kenya, Namibia and Netherlands boosting his success rate
and Azhar had the benefit of 20 wins against the whipping boys of
international cricket.

Exclude matches against the minnows and Dravid's success rate drops
to 54%, but Ganguly's goes down to 43% and Azhar's to 49%.

Only Kapil Dev, with a 51% success rate against the better teams,
comes close to matching Dravid's record.

Kapil, in fact, has a better record leading away from home —
excluding minnows — than even Dravid. On foreign soil, Kapil won 49%
of the matches he led in, whereas Dravid has won 10 out of 23
completed matches for a 43% success rate. That put's him in third
place behind Gavaskar, who had a 46% success rate with 11 wins in 24
matches.

Ganguly's record abroad (23%) is the worst among the six captains
who have led India at least in 20 matches each.

Azhar has the best record at home (excluding minnows) with a 65% win
rate, but Dravid is not far behind at 61%. On this list, Ganguly
finishes in fifth spot, ahead of Gavaskar, who could captain India
to only 14 wins in 35 completed matches.

Understand this yourself..Add to Rahul's career his record as a player and i hope nobody will oppose me in this regard as Rahul is no doubt a better player than ganguly..

Answer 9

I think Rahul Dravid is the best. And with him as the captain India has a very good chance to win the world cup 2007.I loooooove Dravid!!!

Answer 10

sourav is a better captain than dravid,

Answer 11

RAHUL IS "NO MATCH" TO SOURAV, WHO IS THE ALL TIME GREAREST CAPTAIN OF INDIA.

REASONS.
1. Leadership Quality: Sourav is a born Captain. Who took the charge of Indian team just completion of 4th year in International cricket. On the other Hand, Rahul was "Deputy" of Sourav as long as 6 years and got ample scope to learn a lot but still he is far behind.
2. Cricket Sense: Cricket sense and intelligence of Sourav was far far better than Rahul. Sourav always took the decisions depending on his own prudence, but rahul is totally dependent of Chappel.
3. Team Building: Sourav is the man who actually visulised and gave the shape of "Team India". It is his brain child. But no new thinking has been injected during the tenure of Dravid.
4. Courage: The whole world accepts that after introduction of Sourav as Captain the white coloured teams from Europe & Australia has not been able to continue to show their "Mental dominance" in the field. It is Sourav, specially his body language, injected the courage & fighting spirit in the Team India. Rahul ????
5. Motivation: His used to motivated the player not only in the field, he took care of them at deressing Room, Hotel and even at their home. It was cause the players like Yuvaraj, Harvajan. Shewag, Zaheer, Kaif and other were always ready to give their 100%+ for "Team India". Now, in the regime of Rahul, it do not talk much even in the field the other matters is a distant"dream".
6. Result: He made us proud several times by winning matches, series & Cup.
Test: 1. He is the first Captain who won a test in Pakistan as well as Series, what was the dream of our country since independence.
2. His defeated the "World beater Australia" twice in a series and also won that series. He also humbled Australia at their won ground.
3.West Indies & England could snatch the series from us at their home ground.
4. 1st time win of series at Zimbabwe
ODI
1. Winning the series at Pakistan after long long 25 years.
2. Mini world cup: No captain in the cricketing world could reach at Final for 2 (two) times. Yea, he made us proud in the year 2000 & 2002.
3. Mini world cup: He is the only Captain of India who gave us "Mini world Cup" in the year 2002. Alas, Team under the leadership of Dravid could not reach at Semi-final of Mini world cup in the year 2006.
4. World Cup: Sourav is the captain who took the "Team India" to the Final of "WC 2003".We were proud, thrilling and honoured reaching the final. It was the Bad luck of Dada the "CUP" could not be conquered.

Finally, His top contribution to the "Team India" was to stop Provincialisim, favouritism and groupism.

Please, judge the thing on the facts and merit not on emotion.

Till today report card of Sourav and Rahul as captain :

Sourav : 85 out 100

Rahul : 35 out of 100.

Yes, Rahul has just got pass marks, but he has to go many miles to touch Sourav
