It is unfortunate that in India most people who do not understand cricket makes maximum judements on the performance/ selection of players and careers of players. This is the irony of India where most of the people over-react to things. It si bad both ways and we shoudl always remain attached to relaity and have a matured and measured thoughtprocess in place and not dis-respect players the way we do.
It is unfortunate that Ganguly has to go the way he did. We should respect him for what he has done for Indian cricket and his performance has been better than many youngsters who are wiating in the wings. They are waiting simply because age is on their side. Is that the right rationale? Micheal hussye came at 33 and he is still the best and most reliable bet for Australia. Robin singh came at 33 and he was one of the best in his days. Jaysuria still plays like no one else. Why is this media trying to create sensations by writing all controversial things about these seniors.
They have done us proud given all of us millions of reasons to smile so if we can't give them respect in return atleast we should not dis-respect them the way we do. Shame on India Media and old cricketers, who themselves did not do anything in life but have the guts to write all possible things about these exceptional talents. Shame on these people! may better sense prevails.
