This article was written before actually the Assistant Coach of Aussie team was humbled by 2 innings from Ganguly - one a fine 102 in Mohali and another an equally fine 85 in Nagpur - that put India on drivers seat in both tests from where Aussies could only lose.
Shehwag : The real Viru who has potential to terminate the Aussies (Loud Mouth Gabbars) Gambhir : Be serious (Gambhir) to play longer Innings. You have the Potential Dravid : Deewar pe Surang (Hole in the Wall) Sachin : Sach(Truth) in (T)Endulkar. Call it a day with dignity. You are great, you know when. Dada : Be prepared to play for CPM against Didi in West Bengal Turf. You have already started this by writting letter to Ratan Tata. Cricket Maidan looks a different ball game for you now. Laxman : Like the unsong hero of Ramayan. In Indian team he has to save many Rams (Fab3) Dhoni : Mahi Puttar create your own Dhun. Play your natural game Kumble : Pray for pitch to (K)crumble otherwise with you India's future will crumble. Bhajji : Juban pe nahin, ungli ka kamal chahiye Aussies ka Bhajiya Banane ke liye.(No tongue business pls) Zaheer ? Munaf ? Ishant?

How about the Matches we lost since 1996? They all failed miserably in 52 matches. All against the Test playing teams

India's solo fighters for team scoring tons while loosing in Test cricket
India lost 78 tests since 1996 Sachin 9 tons solo fights for team Aus 4 SA 2 Eng Pak NZ one each Dravid 1 tons solo fights against Zim one Laxman 2 tons solo fights against Aus two Sehwag 3 tons solo fights against Aus Pak SA one each and the last Saurav Big Zero tons contributed no solo fight.
These are either solo or sizable resistances while loosing others have not contrubeted enough so we lost. He scores when others soften balling by their pounding. Then the vulture comes to grab the kill

If u think No.6 batsman can give solo fight than oh boy u need mental chk up.
1. The tiger will be never given out. 2. If the tiger catches the ball after many bounces, it will be a 'catch'. 3. The tiger will enter the field, only when he wants.

When the tiger gets old he is being shot so as other tigers should not eat him up as he is become weak.
gangu teli wanted to play against spineless & toothless attack of NZ. in his whole carrer he always done the same thing & better his average by playing against "Extraordinary" innings.

People are already ready with excuses for flops by the toothless and clawless tiger like, 'bad umpiring', etc.
This is a great selection and must say a courageous move by the Board od Cricket Control of India. It's nice to see my favourite player, the "Prince of Kolkota", the real DADA of the Indian Cricket who achieved the success of defeating Pakistan in Pakistan for the first time,back in action. Welcome back to the pictch and the groung Dada. Runs are waiting for u my eyes are dying to see u in action and All of us are eager to see ur that form that will shut the mouth of those guys who just know how to speak. Show them Dada what u are? and Why the whole nation calls u Price and show the Legendary comeback. Do it man. Ya man U can do it go ahead Buddy common on All our best wishes are with u.

We wish the prince (Dada) performs better than the soldier (Sehwag) like last time when Sachin-Rahul-Dada made 520 (5-2-0) against 201, by him.

Good selection by Srikanth. we need to select Badri in the playing 11 for the test matches even though he just scored 2 and 14 in the practice match against Aus. What do you guys think about this
Why some people are so much against Ganguly? There is no reason. They are not against Dravid or Sachin. This speaks of bias. May be Ganguly's personality is so overpowering that these guys are clueless. They repeat the same old statistics and faulty logic and Saurav stays plays and comes back. This is like a communal bias. One finds fault with the other however good he may be only because he does not belong to his religion. So is with Ganguly. It is bad that he hails from Bengal. No Bengal has ever played such a long stint. At the back of their mind these idiots try to block the entry of talent to keep their clan only playing the game or doing whatever good things. Idiots come back to your senses. Salute the guy for the goods he has done for Indian cricket. Dont cry like parrots of your fathers More and Chappel. They go but Ganguly stays.

All feel Dada is a waste. That is why, there is 'come-back', only by him. And I bet, he is also surprised when selected.
