Ganguly too should have been given the following awards.
Best Injury Faker Award
Every since Sharad Pawar took over BCCI, this guy got injured only once since his dropping. He was out for a year and played county but didnt get one injury, since he wanted to get back into the side.
And the bigger award would be....
The best bhagoda award !!!
Only award of its kind to the great player, great captain who ran away leaving the ship to sink in Nagpur against Australia.

No you know well what I meant when I say RD. I refuse to utter that name of the great chamcha of GC.
RE:Ganguly should have also been awarded
by arpan nigam on Dec 16, 2007 03:00 AM
But as far as I know, Ganguly learned batting from GC and further Ganguly was keen to get Greg as coach...

He will win an award for best mover and shaker when Brett Lee hurls his bouncers down this coward's throat.

He will win an award for the highest consecutive ducks after Agarkar when he gets out for 8 ducks in the 4 tests.

Ganguly does not need awards...He has won the respect and admiration of the global cricketing world based on the manner in which he has made a comeback. If there was even an iota of doubt about his ability, then there is no more
Sameer...people like you are mentally sick and regionally biased....

Hey yo, If only you read the article completely and meticulously, you will come to know the reasons why Sachin, Kumble and Dravid are getting the awards!!!
Don't know why Ganguly fans are trying to find reasons in anything that happens these days!!!
RE:award
by hectorElfather on Dec 16, 2007 02:53 AM
Do you know that Ganguly is the one of the 3 players in the world in getting 10000 runs and 100 wickets in ODIs. Why was there no award for that, may I ask Mr Mister?
RE:award
by Gaurav Gaddhyan on Dec 16, 2007 04:09 AM
Dear... Ganguly has just made his way back into team... and his position in one days is not even confirmed... let him perform consistently for some while... Rather than scoring tons against weak Pakistn bowling attack and that too on flat pitches, lets see how he performs against Australia... and what a feeble excuse by Ganguly... "I am not able to score century becuase I come at number 5"... what a character.. putting blames of his failure to batting order
RE:award
by arpan nigam on Dec 16, 2007 03:02 AM
Answers these 2 questions for me - 1. Was Sachin awarded for achieveing this feat? 2. Didn't Ganguly receive a felicitation for getting to 10,000 runs earlier?
RE:award
by sam on Dec 16, 2007 05:41 AM
Gaurav Gadha,
Saurav has scored runs on these flat pitches, when your Dravid has struggled on such pitches...Saurav has handled Akhtar with confidence where Dravid and Tendulkar have not been all that comfortable
RE:award
by kaushik on Dec 16, 2007 03:02 AM
Test match cricket is the real form of cricket and look how much this fisherman scored ? Not even half that of Dravid. That shows his class and all the centuries he made the matches ended in tame draws as they were played on dead pitches.
RE:award
by Ravi Ranjan on Dec 16, 2007 04:12 AM
Some people get award for runs, some people get it for wickets. Some just play and don't get anything. Lack of award, is an award in itself! Sri Sri Ravi Shanker, Art of Living!
RE:east or west Dada is the best!
by Sameer K on Dec 16, 2007 04:27 AM
Out of Ganguly's 18 hundreds, 8 have come in winning cause against Zimbabwe, Bangladesh, Kenya, Namibia etc. His lone hundred against Australia the best team was in a lost cause. So 10 hundreds against other teams leaving minnows have come in victory causes.
While Sachin's 6 hundreds against Australia have come in winning causes. Sachin's 9 hundreds out of 29 have come against Kenya, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Bangladesh etc. So 20 hundreds against rest leaving minnows.
Dravid hasnt scored a hundred against Australia in one dayers. Dravid's 2 hundred have come against UAE and Kenya in winning causes. While 10 of his hundreds apart from those have been in victory causes for India. But Rahul hasnt got chances sometimes to score against minnows cause Sachin and Ganguly would end up scoring hundreds in same games and the number of overs left wouldnt allow a batsmen to score hundreds after that.
I am a Sachin's fan but i admit Rahul missing out those hundreds but he never cried like someone who recently cried.
RE:east or west Dada is the best!
by arpan nigam on Dec 16, 2007 02:29 AM
Can you please put the countries against which these hundreds are scored? And as Mr. Ganguly is a pathetic runner between the wickets, please also post how many times he has got his partner out?
And last but not the least, plz put the 90's scored by Sachin that won us the match...
RE:east or west Dada is the best!
by kaushik saha on Dec 16, 2007 02:32 AM
and also get the 80s and 90s scored by dada that won us matches? nobody doubts sachin dude, he's the greatest iys the other idiot nobody wants
RE:east or west Dada is the best!
by arpan nigam on Dec 16, 2007 02:44 AM
You guys dint get the point mate! It's not about the numbers !!! I dont mind you call Dada your GOD! My problem is when you call a guy who won us the max matches abroad (if you wanna come on with numbers on this, lets have that) an idiot!
Why, everyone against poor Rahul? Let him enjoy his pre retirement benefits after all, this is the last award for him come on guys, dont crib abt Rahul getting award dont u pay beggars sitting outside temples?
RE:Why everyone against Dravid
by satish on Dec 16, 2007 02:09 AM
Dada will get honored only in Bengal. Outside,he is not even fit to be a ball boy for Team India. They are taking him to Australia as he might be useful to cook rosogolla and fish and also to wash all the dirty clothes.
RE:Why everyone against Dravid
by hectorElfather on Dec 16, 2007 02:13 AM
Funny that you have said that! During the 3rd test, one of the placard in the stadium read "Dada, king of Bengaluru".
RE:Why everyone against Dravid
by satish on Dec 16, 2007 02:22 AM
Why dont you stop worrying about cricket and start worrying about other issues like Nandigram and illegal Bangaldeshi terrorists,you chinese chamcha ? Your commie politics are destroying the whole country and here you are talking about cricket,rosogolla.
RE:Why everyone against Dravid

Satish, Please provide your contact details, I will teach you how to talk in a open forum without hurting anybody's feeling. Who gave you authority to call the Bengali Community as chinese chamcha? If you really have guts, please provide your details. Sujoy Ray.

Go and advice your fellow Bengali brothers how to talk in an open forum first. I wouldnt have written anything if they had not write abusive comments in the first place. Dont come barking in here with your holier than thou attitude Also curious why didnt you say the same thing when abuse is directed at other communities ? Is your moral science lesson only applicable when someone says bad about your community ? No wonder you bengalis are considered extremely narrow minded and parochial.
RE:RE:Why everyone against Dravid
by Sujoy Ray on Dec 16, 2007 02:45 PM
I can not change your views about Bengali's because you seem to be regionally biased person. BTW If I am barking here, I think you also belong to same category as me. I requested you to provide with your contact details. Since you did not, I will get in touch with rediff and will ask for your account details and IP address from where you are typing all these nonsense messages. I will show you what I can do. FYI, please go and read how you can be booked under cyber law. I am not doing just because I am Bengali -I think in general this person like you should be taught a good lesson so that they will think twice before using such abusive languages.
RE:RE:Why everyone against Dravid
by kaushik saha on Dec 16, 2007 02:29 AM
u are right but is rosogolla cooked? just one small trivia, not much different from the news above , rahul will wash the dirty clothes of aussie cricketers, and get paid for it too - after a horrible performance, he will retire with a broken heart and several roken bones and settle as a dishwasher in downtown sydney
RE:Why everyone against Dravid
by satish on Dec 16, 2007 02:44 AM
Will you agree that you are a dirty commie rat if Sachin and Dravid score more than Bonguly in Australia ?
the award given by BCCI is nt a natinol award .so dnt argue on this...they r just giving incentives to the player...
waise bhi BCCI ko or koi kaam nahi rahta hai...BCCI ke 70 % members business men hai...unka cricket se kabhi koi naata hi nahi raha hai...baaki members ko kabhi pucha bhi nahi jata aise me or kya hoga...
but sachin ke performance ko nazar andaz bhi nahi kar sakti sachin is great........
This forum is the perfect breeding place for shallow minded people. Instead of effing criticizing every damn thing, why not for once just appreciate the fact that the players above have all done something to make the country proud.
What's the point of being so critical about every damn thing? Fine, maybe Ganguly didn't get an award this time around but that doesn't mean people don't appreciate him.
Everyone above deserves every bit of applause, adoration, love and support. Instead we fight like a bunch of stupid people who know nothing but to criticize people.
Do we have to have so much hatred in our heads? Why the racist remarks? Why the north-south divide? Why bring religion into everything? Why diss on people who actually deserve to be awarded?

I think after reading some of the comments in this forum one wonders if cricket is really a unifying force at all. It looks to be doing something exactly the opposite actually.

by ganessin virappin on Dec 16, 2007 01:35 AM
While we have every reason to feel happy that the deserved are getting the award, we also have every reason to feel that one of the deserved is deprieved. We should all stand up and raise voice against the bad politics of BCCI which is dividing the harmony of the fans and indian players by specifically depriving Sourav for his outstanding carrier achievements. It is the time to raise voice against BCCI not to keep quiet as you say.

The 100s that Ganguly scored in ODIs has resulted more wins than the ones scored by Dravid and Tendulkar. Just some stats to show that SG has a far more superior record in ODIs than the other two. Not to mention Dravid is least impressive.
SRT: Winning 100s: 29 Career 100s: 41 success rate: 70%
Ganguly: Winning 100s: 18 Career 100s: 22 success rate: 82%
Dravid: Winning 100s: 8 Career 100s: 12 success rate: 67%
RE:Ganguly's winning record in ODIs
by Ravi Ranjan on Dec 16, 2007 04:01 AM
To take Dada's standard crib: Since I batted at number 6 or 7 in ODI, I didn't have chance to score many centuries!! Also the fielding restriction was gone! I had to straightaway score or throw wickets.
