It is an event consisting of different teams with players from different countries. It wud b a total failure just like the World Series Test Series between Australia and the rest of the World which had to be thrown into the dustbin by ICC.

sorry second day pitch was not deteriorated that much. only bounce was low. Advantage Ganguly.He batted atlast as was required from 100 test experienced player. The pitch crumbled after third day Heavy roller applied. Thanx tail enders we were not all out till then.
Key is tail enders did nice job on old ball. Under prepared wicket. Most batsman who bat with 20 overs old ball is like 40 overs old ball [bit soft] on normal pitches.

Don't you really know, or are you feigning ignorance? lol... but will it help if we give you examples? Your idea is based on perception.
But to help you, Ganguly's test batting average over all matches is almost 43 per innings. But if you exclude the lost matches, then his test batting average over 73 matches jumps to 55.5 runs per innings. For that matter his batting average in lost matches is only 24, so you see that he has contributed the most in winning cause. Also point worth noting, is that out of 49 times that he has scored more than 50, 41 (84%) have come in the winning cause, none of his centuries have been scored in a losing cause.

Hi, I saw so many racial/abusive comments in the discussion, i think as a responsible citizen people should not use these kind of comments. Especially i saw so much from Mr. Prasad Manokaran. I would like to request to Rediff authories to take more stern actions against people who are making such racial/abusive languages in a discussion/blog.

I fell that the best thing is to ignore such racial scoundrels.. I feel being Indian gives me more pride than being parochial minded..but some incorrigble fellows would always pollute the country.. just like Raj Thakre!!! For me Balgangadhar Tilak was not just Marathi or Swami Vivekanand was not a bengali!!! these rae national treasure. Sourav did not play for Bengal but for India just like Tagore did not write national Anthem for Bengal but for whole India!!! avoid the racial & regional obnoxios fellows!!

The senior players such as Tendulkar, Dravid, Ganguly and Laxman are the best players and there is no doubt that they can adjust to Twenty20 format quickly. The problem is with certain people, who is playing politics to safeguard their interest. These players are being dropped from one day team, only because these dirty peoples are interfearing in the selection matter for some obvious reasons. Instead of blaiming these players, everybody needs to supplort them.
