Cricket controversies

I was watching this cricket discussion on television on the topic whether Saurav Ganguly should be replaced as the captain of the Indian cricket team or not. Well, I normally do not comment about cricket considering my knowledge of the game is limited to being a fan of the Australian Team especially when they are playing test matches. But I would really suggest that Rahul Dravid should be made the captain of the Test side with Saurav captaining the One-Day side.

Reason being, Saurav Ganguly can concentrate and score some runs in test matches instead of commenting on the wicket and the attitude of the opposition. And Rahul Dravid would have one less job to handle along with wicketkeeping and Vice Captaincy in One-Day matches. This would work only if they continue to with a specialist wicketkeeper in Test Matches coz I do not think they would risk with one in One Day matches. Another thing I would be recommending is to fix the minimum number of domestic matches every player (be it Sachin ENDulkar) has to play for his state. Number should of course be greater than 10.

On the similar note… I think Trevor Chesterfield has got a very feminine voice… I have read his articles in Indian Express but his voice was a shock when I heard it on the NDTV show.
