2 good innings he started blabering in media on the flat pitich, insipid bowling even pathan scored 100 if umpiring was done as per rules ganguly would not have scored 50s in kolkata or blr.if ganguly feels he missed so many 100s he should open in test also like in odis. in odis sachin and ganguly open innings when enough balls to face without pressure of increasing runrate can build innings slowly. |but in test when ball is new shining, it will be very difficult to bat on bouncy green past ptiches that with morning dues help fast bowlers. dravid batted no 1 to 7 in odis as per team requirement and five bad innings he was out of odi team even ganguly;s last five innigns in odis were not upto the standard as a opener will chief selector will shown the door to gnaguly and ask him to prove his form and fitness in tests dravid always batted down in order when one of opening batsman lost score was noteven double fighres. dravid and jafer scored runs and made comfortable platform for middle order batsman to carry batting ..so batsman bats at no 4, 5 and 6 have advantage and ball getting old it will come to bat easy to play strokes ganguly's batting can not be compred to dravids in odis or test. ganguly in odis played most of time as opener and dravid was promoted down in order when team trouble otherwise at no 6 or 7 where less balls to face with pressure of increasing runrate In test dravid most of innings literally opening and carry pressure with jaffer. ganguy shoul

...further more...I've always mentioned these points whenever some one highlights Dravids superiority
1) Eden Gardens Wicket: The wicket was dead from day 2..Typical Kolkata wicket where even Azharuddin scored big hundreds. The Aussie attack had McGrath , Gillespie and Warne..McGrath was never quick in the air so he is never a big threat in the subcontinetal conditions, Please check his overall records against India Srilanka and Pakistan back hime and Warne is never a threat for any Indian batsman. Once Laxman countered Gillspie Dravid played a second fiddle and scored 180...Its a more about application than ability and Dravid scored
2) Adelaide Oval: Worst (Dead) wicket in Australia with very short square boundaries and a batting heaven. Check the Aussie Pace attack. A double hundred on a lifeless track against second striing Australian attack.
3) Rawalpindi: Another dead track..The only batting track more worse than kotla. Even Mark Taylor the worst lefthander ever to played for Australia score 333 agaisnt the same substandard Pakistan Attack on that wicket.
These are the three big test innings that appaise Dravid but as hyped by blinkered Rahul Dravid fans these arent great achievements either if you analyze objectively.

ganguly got his first double 100 after 11 yrs of int'l cricket hand needed 99 tests
ganguly should open the innings in test also so that he can score more runs and centuries. so yuvi can bat at No 5. In odis like sachin ganguly wanted to open innings by opening innings chance to face more balls and score more runs. gnaguly is consirered as bengal tiger and he should not be afraid of facing new balls with shine is there and there will be more bounce with early morning due. ganguly should open innings with jaffer in against aussies draavid is only ind player who won 3 icc awards, selected 3 yrs for icc test team and 2 yrs for odi team tootahless tiger not even nominated for any category so far still in top ten in icc test rankinggreen pitch in 2004 against the aussies where he mysteriously came up with an injury on the morning of the match. and he wasn''t playing wel in nagpur in 2004

Like Gavaskar's son did? I remember people were talking just like you are doing about Gavaskar, too. But, thats not what happened!!
saurav, as a teenager, selected for 1992 ausi tour, then dumped for 4 years, only to bounce back in eng tour n make history of itself. bhajji was taken at tender age of 17 years, failed, rejected by selectors, only to b taken back to become tormentor of the ausi in ind. parthiv patel was taken at tender age of 17 yrs. was dumped from the team but now showing his true worth as a player, too much to be ignored. he is definitely worth selection in the team. just like saurav n bhajji, dont discard parthiv on his past performance. look at his present performances.
