Steve Wagh was scared of Ganguly as Dada has been batting with huge freedom in those days and most noticeable feature about his cricket has been his aggressivenes and Royal walk. Even Bradman didn%u2019t faced the dreadful bowlers like Ganguly faced so Dada is best ever cricketer. Toughest challenge lies ahead for youngesters to take Dada%u2019s place, even 5 young batsman together cannot fill Ganguly%u2019s spot so at last selection committee will have no option other than to again select Dada for one day and then make him captain both for test and one day. Shahrukh also bought Calcutta team only because he knew that Ganguly is only the original match winner and others r playing only for securing their place in team, Shahrukh didn%u2019t took Dhoni and Yuvraj in his team because of Ganguly so Shahrukh sacrificed both Dhoni and Yuvraj as he cannot dream of his team without Ganguly. All Indian players know very well that Ganguly is best batsman in world. Even Ponting was so much of happy for Dada%u2019s exclusion that he openly said that he is surprised for Dada%u2019s omission and then from there Ponting took Indian team very lightly without Ganguly and so India won tri-series so it was Dada only who won tri-series for India in Australia. Ponting thought that Indian team is nothing without Ganguly and so he didn%u2019t took the matches serious and ultimately lost from India.
Saurav is the best batsman India even produced. Even Dhoni said "Dada is a legend". Yuvraj said "Whatever I am I am just because of Ganguly. Who will forget Ganguly's 43 match winning innings that he won for India single handedly. Ponting once said "I want to be like Ganguly". Lara said I want to learn captaincy from Ganguly. Ishant Sharma and Praveen Kumar r big fans of Ganguly. Ganguly will bounce back and he will become the captain for one day and test matches. Dhoni very badly missed Ganguly in matches which were lost by India in Australia. In Ganguly's absence India narrowly missed no. 1 ranking in ICC ranking. Dravid once said "I was in one day team because of Ganguly".

Why u people always want to be in imagination. Now Even India won the triseries that credit also u r giving to ganguli..Shame on u.

Ganguli was just blocking a place of a youngster. these our so called great playes do not want to retire with respect. These people should think of future.and make way for youngsters.

If u all r looking for a clue to why Ganguly is best batsman world have ever produced then it is here, Ganguly sustain his spectacular runs both in Test and one day cricket since his debut with highest number of sixes in one day, his eyes speak of a tiger who destroyed Macgrath, Akram, Waqar, Sohaib, Lee and Warne with utmost ease and also he is a combination of composure and technique. Other players gets charged up just with presence of Ganguly, Dhoni didn%u2019t select Ganguly as he was sure that Ganguly become captain of one day after tri-series. Ganguly marked new height in his career when he single-handedly won matches for India from 1998-2001 while others struggled. Ganguly supported Yuvraj Singh and Bhajji in 2002 as selection comitte almost throwed them out, just imagine if Bhajji was not there in Australia for Perth test and tri-series final then India would have lost Perth test and tri-series finals as he bowled some tight and wicket taking overs. In one days against Sri Lanka if Yuvraj didn%u2019t score 76 then India would have been out of triagular series, so indirectly because of Ganguly India won tri-series as both Yuvraj and Bhajji r in team because of Ganguly, Indian Board should award Ganguly for his effforts and give him captaincy for test and one day. Pathan is in team because of Ganguly and Pathan was man of the match in Perth test, so Ganguly is a kingmaker and full credit must be given to Ganguly for India%u2019s win in Australia both in test and oneday.
I'm bangalorean, and I always wanted to support home team. I was disappointed to see such a wired colors. Having a flag which represents a state is good thing, but painting team clothes with Read and Yellow is so yuck. Red and Yellow always resembles dancing Govinda. Players will look retarded funny morons. VJM that was just ugly.

Does that make a difference? Is it so that All Kannadiga must like wired colors,And those who hate colors are migrants. If something looks ugly then its ugly. Grow up dude. The fact is Red and Yellow dress looks horribly funny. It looks good in our flag.
When 2 wickets fall just IMAGINE who would come to the crease RAHUL DRAVID & JACQUES KALLIS... ha ha ha .. Dravid and Kallis in a 20-20 match.. they should be strictly told in advance that 20-20 is only 20 overs and not for 20 days.Ha ha ha Dravid and Kallis in a 20-20 match.

My dear friend u dont know abt whom ur talking abt. well kallis is a real killer in one day where he consistently proved with his hard hitting strokes. And Dravid who has improved as one day batsmen and saved many matches for india. remember 99 world cup where he was the highest run maker with a strike rate of 100 . so just check the stats before making any comments.

Martin Crowe once said. Sachin has invented some new shots. For example, the straight batted paddle, which goes behind the keeper. He is a very quick learner and adapts his game to the situation. His killer instincts and attitude of taking revenge with particular bowlers adds spice to his batting. A very committed fielder who gives his best while fielding even after a long innings while batting. Sachin is simply the greatest cricketer on earth. The consistency at which he plays, his simplicity proves that he is one of the best.Sachin is honest, committed, sincere and a thorough gentleman.Sachin Tendulkar being a busy batsman in the world has bought about a new dimension to Indian cricket.One has to agree to the fact that he is the best Indian living irrespective of the wealth and fame he possesses. When we talk of Sachin we are talking about the greatest son of mother India.Sachin as a person appears to be cool, calm and always smiling cheerfully.Extraordinary cricketer. Great brain as a cricket player. Tackles the situation very smartly. Great man to have in the team particularly when it comes to the crunch situation.

Paddle sweep was first started by Azharuddin. He used to play it frequently. Tendulkar is a great player but I am not sure why are you doing his PR job. He doesn't need your PR.
