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.

Also we point out that all fab 5 are good players but they all 5 perfom now slowly decreas so they should decide what they are capable of bcoz its very hard to make decision on ourself but it is must for indian cricket so as per last 5 years note we have make noticed that sachin should more focus on test cricket and good for him fitness to out from now 1day to give chance to young talent.Ganguli also honourable and he is already out from one day cricket from selective commitee and we also agree with that he should focus more on only test level now that he will be inspirational to other players and we dont think he behave like only king as he is a great human and great cricketer so he will definetely support the indian comming talent and selector also give full support to experience players to make him statement freely despite to make politic 4 personal winning coz u all dont forget that in your personal winning for secure your place and to show your impotance although not good for indian team int-national level it will big lose despite your personal win and secure place u all dont forget your place all will be safe once indian team perfom well and indian team will perfom well when all selector and expe- batsman support good talent indian cricketer current form.and also dravid include only in test and kumle-vvs should retire in both format.Make GAMBHIR captian in both format. give chance parthiv,rena,badrinath,chopra,chawl-ojha,nanda,m parmar,r sharm,kohli-pujra,dhawan 4 test
