Dada is a crap and will remain a crap
by MeetFireWithFire on Apr 03, 2010 02:00 PM  | Hide replies

One good inning by Saurav in IPL 3 is good enough for his fans to raise him to demigod.

What is faring well as a leader (Saurav)?? Does it mean that it is fine to maintain consistency in flopping with bat?? A good captain should lead from front. Take it to the great leaders of the W.Indies and Austratlia or be it our own Kapil Dev, they all have done the country proud by leading from front. Dada only relied on Dravid in the test arena and to Sachin in the ODI arena to win his matches.

Even Sachin our ICON gave up his captaincy (though some Sachin's bashers would claim that it is Sachin's selfishness to leave captaincy for personal records), to help the team at least in batting.

Dada shamelessly admitted that he was pointed a gun on his head by his selectors forcing him to retire from the international scene. Given the grace he batted in his prime, he should have left cricket which could at least done his image he enjoys in India a world of good.

before you say any adverse comments atleast rise or be near that position which he attained by his records, dada only played international fr a period of 12-13 yeras as compared to sachins 22, but both are greats,

The quality of cricket in IPL3 is shoddy and horrendous!
by Crickbufff on Apr 02, 2010 04:06 PM

Have people forgotten IPL-1??
I think Gilly missed the trick by not employing short pitched deliveries on Gangoose.
We all know he can slaughter spin bowlers across the world!
Having said that KKR needs Gangoose and credit to him for fighting!!

Dada's balls made of steel?? It brought my stomach to lose inches by laughing… As far I know, Dada is one of the few batsmen around the world who would come with full protection. Sure can’t be damaged…

@ meetfireblahblahblah-

"It brought my stomach to lose inches by laughing."

really?
Wow. you must be FAT dude. big time fat. which isn't a surprise given that the only activity you engage yourself in is perching your soft a.s.s on a poor little stool and "typing" your much needed intellectual comments... wouldn't have been too much for a flea brain like you to connect the phrase "stomach aching with laughter" and use it to reduce your (obvious, assumed) overwhelming dimensions. again, i advice you to not go through the trouble of typing it all out. you just sit and think your silly thoughts, laugh at them, and hopefully lose KILOMETRES by laughing, so that one day...when we play our evening galli cricket, you could be the joker player.

A CAPTAIN's KNOCK
by damodaran mohan on Apr 02, 2010 01:22 PM

It was good to see Dada play a captain's knock and help KKR win the match.This knock will help him gain his lost confidence.While Dada deserves all praise but KKR management/fans should give the credit for the win to the entire team rather than harping on individuals.It is beyond any doubt that Murali kartik and Angelo mathews are playing very critical role with the ball in all the KKR wins, especially Murali kartik whose 4 overs are making the world of diffrence between KKR and the opposing team in all the matches.The major credit must go to the team........

DADA
by Senthil Kumar on Apr 02, 2010 01:10 PM  | Hide replies

In the first two edisions he had a poor coach to work with and particularly the mess he created in the second edision by not giving Ganguly enough opportunity and right batting position.

Now whether you like it or not he is in the top 5 run getters in this IPL. Why the hell you are asking us to compare his stats with Gilly, Hayden etc. Just compare his stats with R Dravid, VVS Laxman, Jayasuria, Sangakara, Jayawardene etc. Even Sachin's stats is worst in the first two IPLs and only in this he started to blossom. Look at the performance of Yuvraj this season.
Basically, one has to understand that KKR was at the rock bottom and helpless situation in the last season and ONLY because of DADA they are now competing heavily for a SF berth.
I'm quite impressed with the way Saurav is fighting to get back to his batting form and also carrying the burden of captaincy with less talented players like Agarkar,Puraja,Tiwari,Mandeep Singh,Dinda,Shuka,Saha etc. Look at the domestic players for other teams (Uttapha, Dravid, Kumble, Vinay Kumar) for RCB, (Sehwag,Gambir,D Karthick,A Mishra) for Delhi, (Fazal,Ojha,Y Pathan,Jujunwala,Dogra,M Patel) for Rajasthan, (Tiwary,Tendulkar,Harbhajan,Zaheer) for MI. So given the kind of local resources KKR has S GANGULY , the DADA is the ONLY hope !!!

If you guys have sense you will understand this.

Yes is exactly what I too think..yesterday the new spinner Parner was pathetic...shukla in his place provides depth and as you mentioned Angelo at No 3 is an excellent choice and sure KKR will rock.

Ganguly performance in IPL:

Season 1 - 13 matches, 3 fifties, SR 113
Season 2 - 13 matches, 0 fifties, SR 91
Season 3 - 8 matches, 2 fifties, SR 113

Overall - 34 matches, 5 fifties, SR 105

If Ganguly fans still thinks he is consistent, playing well and fit for T-20, I can't change their mind set. They are free to compare these stats with other players of KKR and his age group like Hayden, Gilly, Sachin, Kallis etc.

Is Ganguly the suitable batsman for T-20 ? Is he the best captain in this format of the game? No not atall.But surely he is most popular personality in IPL.SHARUKH-SOURAV combination is earning money.KKR may be last in the league table but they will take 1st postion if you consider the team as best money earning team.And surely IPL is only the money earning tournament not conventional cricket tournament.

our debate is its only ganguly who performs for KKR and thts the reason for him to not go after each and every ball...performance of an individual is determined by many factors like pitch, team support and keeping wkts at one end..

Tendulkar was a collosal flop in first two editions of IPL, he flourishes this season due to a strong team....
