As per my knowledge, Saurav Ganguly is far far better than Mr. Mohammed Kaif in Oneday Matches. Ganguly is hard hitter and now he came back to very good form. His experience and form will contribute a good result for our Indian Team. If we check the records of Mohd Kaif, his contribution in Batting is not so remarkable except few matches. But Ganguly, on the other hand, has remarkable records especially, when he crosses 50, all bowlers are fearing of his hard hitting. My request is, please don't insert politics and likes and dislikes inside cricket and aim only betterness of our country's progress same as Australia.
Dear sir, whoever has done this analysis has shown an immature and poor piece of job. In the whole series the biggest winner was no other than MS Dhoni. His all knowcks were magnificent. Bettr you do stats...he has become the highest average strike rate batsmen as well as highest run gatherer. Also the percentage of no. of not outs has been highest with him. No doubt Yuvraj singh made the highest score in this series but this lad from Bihar cricket stole all the shows with his match winning strokes everytime rescuing India and leading to magnificent win. This is irony that due to same Yuvraj singh Dhoni had to pay for his absence in the international for 5 years when Yuvraj was selected and dhoni was left even after scoring higher than Yuvi in that selecion match. If Yuvraj is hero, Dhoni is super hero, who made his mark without any godfather. This is well proved if you look at the current ICC ranking of player, where MS Dhoni has borken the austrelian monopoly of top slots and made the position of no.3 batsman of the world. He is next to Sachin in breaking this record! better to quote Chappel's remark on Dhoni,"He is the God's gift to team India".

Kaif is better than ganguly we have seen how hard hitter he is but kaif is better because in pressure situation kaif always performs remember it was by kaifs knock we won against australia in test and what about Natwest see the kind of catch's he takes and runs he save while fielding i think they are more than what my ganguly scores no doubt he was one of the best but it not indiduals pride at stake it god dmn it countries pride we can't look previous performances but present and future

It is high time that we stop doubting Kaif's ability and start putting his place under the scanner.He is too valuable a player to waste time on such thoughts.We must keep in mind his overall role in the team and the value that he brings to the entire effort.He is an asset and should be teated as such.He is not going anywhere in the forseeable future.

Since his debut Kaif has been below average. He does perform one out of 10 matches. Yes, he is a very good fielder, but you can't have someone in the team for that matter. So where is place for Kaif in the team. If you have to keep Kaif in the team, what about Sourav? Did he get a fair deal. I have nothing against Kaif, but if some one look at the whole issue with a proper analysis, I am afraid, there is no place for Kaif in the present scheme of things.
