When Ganguly pitches in for Dravid

By John Cheeran
Ah, here is the sage himself speaking.
Deposed Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly has said that it is important for fans to be patient and give Indian captain Rahul Dravid more time to handle the toughest job in world cricket.
Ganguly says captains need time to mature and it is necessary to give Dravid time to grow into the job.
Like all former cricketers Ganguly is concerend about the state of Indian cricket.
"He (Dravid) is a great player. I think it is important that any captain has to be given time. Captaining India is the hardest thing," Ganguly says.
"Most important thing is time. People should be patient and the results willbe there," Ganguly said during a panel discussion at the Hindustan Times Leadership Summit in New Delhi.
"Everyone will have weaknesses. You will be criticised when the team is not doing well. The captain is taken up and brought down more quickly," he said.
Ganguly, who is struggling to come back into the Indian team, has given Dravid some sound advice. Let me quote Ganguly. "How you handle your failures will decide your future."
A statement that should make Ganguly look within and packup his cricket gear.
