sir, U know all that ganguly complets thier 10000 runs in ODI & 5000 + runs in tests also AS quickely than tendulkar .I observe to ganuly ,he was played for indian team according to situation on team rather than to look for its own score like tendulkar.if he scores on 99 still he trying to hit the ball to out side boundry for only team requirment but tendulkar dont...another good about the ganguly 's captaincy.he is marveles captain ever fond to inadia next to kapil dev.ultimately he is macth winner perfomer but tendulkar not.
To me its high time for Ganguly to bid farewell, in todays pace his slow left foot movement will have no advantage.Bowlers have already marked his discomfort zone i.e. short pitch deleveries on leg- middle. Ganguly has already contributed his best to us. Now he should concentrate and devote time to guide youngstars and share his talent with them. rajib - kolkata
i guess it's all rubbish.Wright at this age wants 2 gain fame n ganguly as usual aspires 4 name n fame. If wright was a perfect man,then why couldn'e he change our team completely,rather than publishing a book n writing somethin stupid,which he had never uttered when he was in INDIA. WELLDONE Wright,u've inspired me a lot,now even i'll publish a book n write about u n ganguly's great bong.
John Wright is the most mature and professional coach India has got. Compare him with Chappel and you find all the difference. Wright brought about syncronization despite Ganguly being quite the opposite; Chappel started by chopping off Ganguly since he could not have adjusted with some arrogance (since arrogance was totally only his birthright). Wright brought cohesiveness in the team despite the differences; Chappel started by reprimanding those who spoke in favor of Ganguly. Wright brought about a oneness in the team; Wright used that oneness to create an opinion by brainwashing a few and then automatically exiting individuals (read Sourav, Zaheer, Nehra, Balaji, all of whom were developed by Ganguly). Chappel only wants winners, he doesnt want to convert those with potential into winners if it calls for some effort from his side. Sourav, Zaheer, Nehra, etc had proved their capability by succeeding at the highest level but Chappel wanted a readymade dish. God save Indian cricket.
Well said Amit

Hi Amit, What you said was true. But India has no place to the players who has the guts to express. So does Ganguly. Now Indian cricket is in dictator rule.
In my view Mr. Wright was among the best coach India had. B'coz in his tenture team devloped and performed without many controversies. Mr Chapple is having a team which was gib=ven momentum by Mr Wright and MrGanguly. It has been seen that many a time the real Leader Doesn't get the reasult but the successor get the same. It is great luck of Mr Chapple.

Dear Mudassir Ehsan Don,t express too much anger against the former captain(probably you might have lost lot of money by betting on him/India). It is a fact that under his guidance & captainship India reached in the FINAL of the last world cup. In the next year's world cup India may hardly reach to the Quarter final because of too much experiment by the present coach.The clear victims of these types of undue experiments are out of form of Irfan, Virendra, Harbajan etc. Off late Sourav had started playing less cricket and more politics under the noble guidence of Mr. Buddhadev Bhattacharya(Chief minister of WB). His recent email against Joguda (Mr. Dalmia)is really heartening. I know from different sources that it was because of Mr. Dalmia's consistent efforts that he got a chance to play for india and subsequently got the captainship. Otherwise a medium cricketer like him would hv hardly got any chance to play for india, forget about being captain of india. Now Sourav should ask for a membership in CPM politbourau and try his luck in politics.The way he is playing cricket, he can not return to cricket any more. He is finished.

F> Is known to have volunteered to open the innings in Australia when Sachin was not in form - I guess he cooked MAGGIE that time as well, lmao.
H> Was instrumental in changing the team culture and bringing back Javagal Srinath for the World Cup - True.
I> Led the team to the finals of the World Cup - He scored 3 centuries and all of them came against non-test playing nations. Cooked MAGGIE in all the other games, and a big ZERO in the game against Pakistan. Did the job of a tourist in all the other games other than those played against the non-test playing nations.
J> Was the only Indian captain to be removed after scoring a century - What a great century, against the weakest of the weak Zimbabwe side, in a feathere-bed pitch, and that too in 6 hours. After that century, that shameless fellow disclosed the dressing room conversation to get some sympathy from the public. It was such a humiliation for India in front of the whole cricketing world !!!!!

How does a medium cricketer becomes the 3rd highest run-getter in one-day internationals ever? Actually, you guys suffer from a disease. Malice --> towards saurav in particular and bengalis in general. yes, saurav will enter politics. he is an iconic figure in bengal. he will go a long way in politics.

Yes, someone in this chain rightly said that Saurav has been a good tourist with the Indian team. Please analyze his performances with a neutral yardstick and you would notice that MAJORITY of his performances have been against minnows or weakened attacks.
He is a chicken again fast bowling. Kindly read Greg Chappels email to the BCCI.

yes sunil, you are absulately right. Dalmiya loved him as a son. He is a egotistic. He thought if he supports for Prasun Mukherjee, he will come back to india team. But real is very hard. He is totally finished. As a bengali, i am totally frustated about his behavior. I love Dalmiya for his dedication on cricket.

Saurav Ganguly :
A> Was till recently considered the bast captain India ever produced - True.
B> Scored more than 10,000 runs in one dayers - True.
C> At one point in time had maximum number of century partnerships with Sachin as an opening pair - That's long gone, and also not an excuse for being out of form for 3 years before his sacking.
D> Stopped the winning run of Australia in tests - Would you please tell us his contribution as a player ? How much did he score, or how many wickets did he take ? He cooked MAGGIE during that series as well. His team mates won those game, while he was sitting in the dressing room. Go and check those stastics.
E> Prevented Mr. Rahul Dravid from being dropped from the one day side when everybody was calling for his head due to his slow run getting ability - For your kind information, Rahul Dravid was the highest run getter in the 1999 World Cup, and Azzaruddin was the captain during that time. After than Tendulkar took over captaincy for 1 more year. All that time Dravid was playing consistently. Dravid was given the job of keeping wickets so that the team could afford another player.
