He must be a decent batsman too-a batsman who can play a mature innings lower down the order or get the team off to a flying start. To add to India s cup of woes, the bowling department has proved to be a power that is meek. Kumble is horribly inconsistent and so is Srinath. Agarkar is expensive and Zaheer is inexperienced. They do bowl well, but only on their days.
Cricket is a team game and collective results are what matters.
Individual brilliance can win matches occasionally, not always. Azharuddin was a poor captain but a lucky one. Tendulkar was innovative but lady luck never crossed his way. All that we have seen of Ganguly so far is his erratic nature, his continued tirade with the umpires and his scheme of over doing things. He certainly is not the cool headed captain who gets tougher when the going gets tough.
