Dravid, Cricket & Diplomacy

Just finished reading through this article by Kamran Abbasi on Cricinfo. As pointed out by Kamran in the Article:

"It is hard not to be impressed by Dravid—and let’s put his batting prowess to one side for a moment. He articulately handles the media with assurance and honesty, skills that the massed ranks of VVIP podium-huggers would do well to acquire. On this occasion, though, Dravid excelled himself. With the interview clearly over, Dravid hogged the microphone to thank Pakistan for touring India, playing in the right spirit, making friends, and being great ambassadors for their country."

I think Dravid will make a better captain than Gangs, not from a win-loss record standpoint, but rather because of his tactical acumen and his Cool-as-a-cucumber image. Gangs was more like loose canon. You never knew what he was going to do. But, that is how Gangs was. He was an instinctive captain. I see Dravid will be more on the lines of a Fleming or Waugh (Sr). But, for all this talk about Dravid being Captain, I still think we should retain Gangs. Who wouldn't want a reprise of his Lord's innings against England or the Taunton Inns against Srilanka in the '99 WC.

PS: What about Mr. Dependable aka Anil Kumble as the next Maharaja of Team India? Do I hear any Aye's!!!?
