The nation has apoplexy

After being in the hot seat and bearing the brunt of public outcry for dropping Ganguly, More sees Vengsarkar's hand in dropping Dravid. He joins a few other former Indian cricketers who are aghast at the treatment meted out to Dravid.

More's attack on Vengsarkar is not limited to just the axe, he blames the selector for Dravid's resignation as captain as well, after which in a matter of weeks the Wall has gone from being a great leader to "unnecessary" for Team India.

The selectors are already emasculated by the big money riding on the ‘stars’ of Indian cricket. These kinds of orchestrated attacks will reduce them further to impotence.

It does not augur well for Indian cricket if the nation has apoplexy every time a player gets dropped.
