bhajji and saurav chickened out not on the eve but the match day itself..leaving poor dravid to lead. the world has seen how much saurav suffered on fast pitches..by scoring a hundred against bichel and macgill..saurav doesnt become a great batsman.he was and is just dalmiya's man.and as far as bhajji.he has slowly started performing again.purely because a certain mr. ashwin is breathing down his neck.he is forced to perform as he cannot take his place for granted anymore.

people like must understand that bhajji and sauravs are also human and can make mistakes..now everyone have their fears..their fear was fast pitches and chickened out. the only thing that when you are representing the country..you dont give in to ur fears which they did..thats why the back lash.humans make mistakes.they did. so call a spade a spade.

McGrath, Gillespie and Lee chickened out of the Brisbane Test...!!! Yes they were frightened because they were the top order batsmen for Australia, and they were scared of the fast bowlers in the Indian team. Good Luck buddy..!!

As per my judgement, yes ganguly did refuse to play the nagpur test after seeing green grass...
But i dont think it as because he chickened out or was scared, i think it was more of a implicit protest and anguish regarding the way the track was prepraed "why give advantage to the visiting team"

Buddy, As an Indian, we shouldn't be taking Hayden's (or for that matter, any Australian's) comments at face value. These are his techniques to ensure that his book gets sold. We should not forget that Ganguly has been a very successful captain for India. During the 2008 Commonwealth Bank series, he had invited Ishant Sharma for a bout in the ring. But, in the ODI matches, he was packed off for low scores.
Look at all these players getting their panties in a twist. Indians don't seem to learn do they ? Its the same formula for every aussie cricketer to sell the book and people fall hook line and sinker.
Its a pity that there are people here who will take one australians word over two indians Its on days like this that i feel people like Bhagat Singh died for no cause because the GULAMI is still so deep rooted in so many of us Proud to be indian

Hello Hayden, how are you? Don't you even have the courage to write an opinion in your own name? Or maybe you could be Hayden's illicit offspring in India.
