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 this is supposed to be sarcastic then great message!! If you really believe Ganguly is the world's best batsman, then you need to open and your eyes and look around, he is not even in the top 10 lets alone the best.

Dada was good and could have been the best in the world as you described and as you wish, but he had a nack of hidding behind captaincy and feigning injury and skipping matches whish had grassy pitches. Still agree to the fact that he was good. But some one has rightly pointed out in the discussion that look around and see how many playres are above him the batting ratings. By the way we lost the home series at home against Pakis as Ganguli was in horrible form.
In the name of Lahore Badshah's some terrorist may enter India in the name of physician, or of some other assistance needed by their team. The indian government should closely watch this ICL and the movment of such disguised terrorists. ZEE & its official should be very careful and should be held responsible if any such person entering India. Guys, be careful. They may even come as spectator but settle down here.
