Every proffesional inning field has a beginning and an end. Cricket is nothing different and neither are the cricketers. Its onle better understood by the professional as to when he should quit the field in which he or she is in. Hence the best judge for the decision is Ganguly himself. Debating over the reason of his retirement ( whether he was pressurised by BCCI or the underworld etc..) is of no use as far as Ganguly's retirement goes as its already taken. However on the other hand, i believe such a scrutiny is required for the present and young heroes who would also become old horses one day. No player should be forced or thretened to quit. I beleieve that the player himself is intelligent enough and can easily determine when he is supposed to quit the game. As far as Ganguly is concerned, lets give a proper farewell to a stalwart who has immense contribution to Indian cricket. Every player has his failure and success, even the greats of Don Bradman, Sunil Gavaskar, Clive Loyed, Vivian Richards and our very own Sachin Tendulkar had their share of success and failure. I feel that instead of posting our comments such that "it was due, required etc", we should appreciate his efforts and provide him the farewell that a genious should get. AND THIS SHOULD APPLY TO EVERY SINGLE PLAYER WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED TOWARDS THE GAME AND OTHER GAMES.
