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. 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 Dada.
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.
When all other teams are composed of cricketers of various nationalities why is LBadshas XI consist of only Pakistanis and that too mostly ex-test national level players ? Why the team is given this unfair advantage ? Further, almost all the games involving the LBs seem to be going their lucky way what with repeated missing of easy cacthes. Do not be surprised at LB, HH final and LB winning against a tame display by HH ! Is it Cricket or NOORA KUSHTI, Mr. Kapil ?

ipl or icl, its always known that whenever there is masala matches with lot of money, there is huge scope of fixing. so enjoy fixing in ipl matches.
Indians are known to treat the best like Kapil Dev as rebel,specially because he won us world cup.. like wise the same dirty fellows thrown out Dhanraj Pillai because he made Indian hockey strong!!! see how they treated the great Captain of India Like Sourav so shabbily.. These corrupt politician,businessmen lobby of BCCI are the worst guys.. Do you expect fairplay from them !!! I am ready to believe don like dawood but not these crooks & rascals of BCCI!!! They can sell the honor of their motherland for money & Gaddi.. This is the fact!!
what abt mohd yusuf ? he joined icl then quit them after bribed from pcb and to join ipl, he ditched icl. now reports r that he has not been picked by any team for ipl.
so his lust for money paid no dividends to him. he is na ghar ka na ghat ka ban ke rahe gaya.
