If not for dravid who else could have been named as the captain immediately after the wc?
One thing about dravid is, he knows what he is made of.

He wasn't good for ODI, but he improved him game. Now he realised he isn't performing as a captain as he should, but by the time he improves it wouldn't help india's cause much, so he decided to quit.

But giving captaincy to a kid is difficult, my bet would be dhoni for ODI and sachin for test, but then as doc said, Kumble for test is an awesome move, but i believe he would also retire at the end of the australian series in Australia early next year.

We need a youngster to carry the mantle. But since we have none, i believe it would be either dhoni or yuvi. May be dada can rope in for a while, but i really doubt he wuld take it again.

i appreciate dravid for the guy he is. Bold and straight forward.
