Ganguly's praise..
by pratham mumbai on Mar 22, 2007 03:23 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

It is quite embarassing that people are admiring Ganguly for no reason. He is playing for himself to stoop down Dravid.Against Barmuda where all the batsman's strike rate is above 100, his is 60. What does he want to prove. He is willingly playing slow.

ganguly ki to shuru se hi phatti hai fast bowlers se chahe woh kisi bhi desh ke ho. agar spinners se shuruwat karwai jaye to sayad 100 ka strike rate kar payega.

Excuse me!

He was the only batsman who crossed 50 run mark, Yuvraj being the second highest scoring with 47 runs and Dravid, Zaheer, Munaf Patel were the third highest scorers with only 13 runs. Imagine, Mr. Pratham, if Ganguly would have gone cheaply, do you really think India would have achieved 191 run mark.. He played according to the pitch, with more responsibility.. Tell, in such low scoring match, strike rate matters or one's score matters?.....

ur thought is quite emarassing. coz it seems that u don't see all the matches and the performances. what abt Sachin and Sehwag? at least Gangguly's performance is constant, but these fellows r performing against a baby team and want to get all the credit and peaple like u want to give them.....

No one is try to say that gungaly is not performing consistently or others are better than him. ut the fact is he is playing at a slow rate, which is not good for india.
Even in the match against Bangladesh, instead of scoring 66 in 129 balls head he score 96 in 129 balls there would have been a lot difference.
He is playing at slow rate to establish himself in the team,becos he still fears that if he doesnot scores he will be sacked. but if he continues at this pace, then.......

i agree with you..if not 100% strike rate, he should atleast have it around 80-85%...especially against Bermuda! Hope does better tomorrow...i know he has been given the role of playing through the innings but that does'nt mean strike rate of 60%...does'nt make sense at all!

As Ganguly was consistent in the start, India was able to make up the score of 413. Till 30 overs there was no wickets down except 1, this creates pressure on the opposite team. I strongly believe that consistency is important than proving the run rate. The person who watches match in keen would understand this.

Thanks for Paranm Here is someone who noticed the real fact. I surprise to see media Ga Ga ... about Ganguly. How stupdly he batted against Bermuda, being a senior man he should accelerated the runs further. Any way people dont agree with me they say he anchored the innings against Bermuda!!!! strange.

Yeah even though top order failed with bangladesh, It is becos of Ganguly's slow batting we lost with Bangladesh, had he batted at a bit faster rate we would have scored 225 runs. Look at yuvraj he was also in pressure when he came to bat, but he scored handsomely. Why can't Ganguly score like him? The reason is:
1) He has limited scoring shots. either a cover drive or jumping down the track and hitting over the bowlers head. If he tries somthing else he gets out.
2)He wants to cement his place in the team irrespective to India's victory/defeat. Thats why he takes his own time to settle down and score.
with SL. If he doesnot scores at a brisk pace & rotate the strike India will be in tight position becos of him
