good decision by attapattu
by alifarman on Nov 21, 2007 02:23 PM

From my point of view its a very good decision, when things dont work out, you should always opt out. I think Ganguly, Sachin and other senior players must have heard this NEWS.

test matches and 2007
by Mature Stud on Nov 20, 2007 07:10 PM  | Hide replies

Test matches in 2007
Karthik: 6 matches: 571 runs (1 x100,5 x 50)
Tendulkar: 6 matches: 560 runs (2 x100,3 x50)
Ganguly: 6 matches: 489 runs (1 x 100, 3 x 50)
Dravid: 6 matches 394 (1 x 100, 2 x 50)
Dhoni: 5 matches 313 (0 x 100, 3 x50)
Laxman: 4 matches 219 (0x100, 2x50).

If you want youngsters to be given chance, it should be at the expense of Laxman and Dravid.

Not at the expense of Ganguly. Also Dhoni is a reasonable contributor with bat: even better than Dravid in average and way better than Laxman.

Looks like ganguly has played his last ODI against Pakistan (check out Patil's comment in cricketnext.com). He doesn't seem to fit in the present scheme of things as far as ODI is concerned. He along with Dravid will be ignored for the future ODI's even though Dravid has a chance of a look in on the Australia tour. With so many young openers in the side, it was only a matter of time for Ganguly to be booted out.

one dyaers for 2007 and ganguly
by Mature Stud on Nov 20, 2007 07:09 PM  | Hide replies

In 2007, following are the highest run scorers in one day:

Hayden: 1555- 29 matches
Tendulkar: 1425 - 33 matches
Yuvraj: 1287 - 36 matches (1 x 100s, 9 x 50s)
Ganguly: 1240 - 30 matches (12 x 50s)
Dravid: 823: 31 matches (8 x 50s, 3 x 0s)
Gambhir: 634 - 21 matches (1 x 100s, 3 x 50s, 3 x 0s)
Utthappa: 509 - 22 matches (3 x 50s and 12 x 0s).

Why should Gambhir or Utthappa be preferred in place on Ganguly....why?????????

Ganguly also is a very useful 5th bowler who enables India to take an additional batsman...he also bowled 76 overs in 2007 for 7 wckets and gave away 344 runs (liitle less than 4.5 runs per over!!!)

How many teams would dare to make him sit out???
Even at the age of 36 he delivers and contributes a lot.

Salute to Saurav Ganguly!

coz if he(utthapa)get to play equal number of matches as Ganguly, and also as top order batsmen and not in end overs, then they will surely reach a 1000 mark effortlessly.

The contribution of Robin Uthappas runs in the win is better than that of sourav.

Well, Saurav Ganguly is a coward facing Shoaib Akhtar. His footwork just disappears, and bengali tiger becomes bengali moshai.

Fast bowlers think Saurav Ganguly is a sweet rasgulla to be had, free of cost. Uthappa has guts, can charge and hit Brett Lee and Akhtar. Very powerful cricketer is Uthappa. Pride of Karnataka.

Marvellous Marvan!!
by Manish Bhakhri on Nov 20, 2007 04:39 PM

Great player...Scored over 14,000 international runs with 27 Hundreds after the terrible start he had early in his career. But was never in the lime light!! Even in the end didn't get the credit he rightly deserved. Back problems kept him out when he was at his peak captaining Sri Lanka.

Stylish, Elegant and graceful are the words to describe his batting...the style of batting which has now been taken over by hard-hitting!!
He was the real "Unsung Hero" not only for the Sri Lankan team but also for all the cricket lovers around the world

And yes like SRK has said "picture abhi baki hai mere dost", we will be seeing him in the ICL. I am sure his experience will help new budding cricketers in India....

Retirement..
by ani reddy on Nov 20, 2007 03:45 PM

Attapattu is one of the sound player for Srilanka team. He is a great asset for them. He should not retire at this point of time. Even Jayasurya is at his peak. Srilanka team will be in big trouble with Attapatu's retirement :-(
