Comparison with Saurav Ganguly is completely inappropriate. SG was extremely good on off side and equally weak on the leg side, whereas SR is extremely good on the leg side and relatively weaker on the off side.
The comparision made is useless.In my opinion, in some respect, he is a better batsman than Saurav Ganguly but to reach the level of Saurav, he has to play lot more cricket.

Selectors should opt for Raina in place of Yuvaraj and ageing Lakshman for test cricket and give him a fair chance
But Eion Morgan started to play more matured Innings in his very Short career. I think in one or two year Eion Morgan will be the best Young Batsman around the world.
He is very young also but he is in the unfortunate list of the Player who Played more ODI's before making a test Debut. he already Topped the List and It's going to take Some time for him to get a Test Debut. So Sad for him but Happy for India and India's Strong Middle order.
all these foreigners have a habit of praising our upcoming youngsters to the sky..why was this comparison with saurav..was it needed???it causes their downfall..look at what happened with irfan..he has lost his swing, pace, accuracy.

Bangladesh bats first and scores 100, 150 or 200 ... whatever the eventual score, it won't matter. What would matter is the margin of victory.
- If Australia loses by 8 runs or less, then Pakistan and Australia will qualify for Super Eights. - If Australia loses with more than 48 runs, then Pakistan and Bangladesh will qualify. - And if Australia's loss is within the margin of anywhere between 7 and 47 runs, then Bangladesh and Australia will qualify. Any betting people around?

if Aus bats first and scores 175, Bangladesh would have to score it in 16 overs! Ideally, D/L comes into play it might help Bangla here - if they lose fewer wickets!!
