dear Mr.Pradyut, can u tell me Sachins average for year between 2007 and 2008 taking into calculation of matches he missed due to illhealth
Re: HAts off to the Great former Captain
by Pradyut on Oct 07, 2008 08:25 PM
after ganguly's so-called comeback, sachin's avg 46 (19 tests) & ganguly's 45 (22 tests)...u can check...be positive...even in bradman's all time world best 11, sachine is there...noone can deny...i think u can also not deny sachine's greatness...pls don't compare with ganguly with sachine...no doubt ganguly is one of the best best oneday player...but in test cricket, not even sachine, dravid also far ahead of ganguly...pls don't be immotional, think cooly and then decide...

ya that is true...but even now he is better than ganguly...even recent records also support this...

u r emmotional...ok i give you last australia serise Sachine 493 runs with avg. 70.42 and ganguly's 235 runs with avg 29.37...and srilanka series noone played well..so u can remove that one...we can't take decision based on only one series...at least 2 series required...so consider australian series and compare 70 avg with 29 avg...

Finally the day has come.I still remember the days when I first watched you scoring tons of runs against England.At that time you brought cheers in my mind as I was confined to bed after meeting with an accident. Let us pray the Almighty to bestow His blessings on you, so that you sparkle one last time and retire gracefully with tears in eyes of your fans.
Even if dada was not performing to his optimum best let us not forget the killer instinct which he induced in team india. Lets hope that dada ends the series with a winning note.
"Venkatapathy Raju, a former selector who played alongside Ganguly, said he was not shocked by the decision and felt it was right". People like you don't shock because you give shocks to others. Please remember Azar helped you to get a position in Indian Team.

I full agree with you. Azar time and again pushed players from his state not only Raju but also players like Arshad Ayub, etc. Even he indulged in regionalism and Azhar played that minority card when caught for match fixing by accusing the CBI that becoz he is muslim that is why he is victimized.
Otherwise, people like Raju, Kiran More, Arshad Ayub leave about playing so many matches, they did not deserve to get a chance to play for India

Only 'helped' ??? Man, it seems Raju had some 'connections' with Azzu . How can a player like Raju play so many one dayers and test matches ?
Give me a drink, don't be talking so much, you're a pain in the butt How can I think when you puke up your guts, I'll be juiced on this stuff
We'll be wired all night We hit the high life
Dearest Dada, Have a wonderful series and hope to see you reach the 7K mark. But above all, want to see you contribute handsomely to India winning this series. One big fan :-)
Courageos Decision - much awaited. You will have a lot more respect in whatever you do in cricket in future. I am sure you are filling releived. Wish you the much needed mental leisure.
