Dravid should lead the side: NZ media
Wellington, Jan 07: New Zealand media have been scathing in their condemnation of Indian cricketers after the team`s capitulation in the seven match One-day series, which goes into the 5th tie Wednesday with India 4-0 down.
"The Indian skipper has been missing in action so often on this tour, that it would hardly be a major blow if he sat out the Wellington match, if only to give his team mates a break," Boock wrote. He said that if Ganguly was a man of impressive influence, able to inspire despite his own lean form, there would be a strong case for retaining him.
"If he was a shrewd old fox capable of pulling strings in the field or reading the New Zealand tactics and manufacturing counter strategies, there would again be some sense in leaving him at the helm. "But Ganguly appears to be a player who relies on his own considerable genius to change the game single-handedly and never really has to think much about the team."
