Re: Murlidhar 11 by Anil Dhuri on Dec 16, 2015 09:56 AM I agree with Shane Warne's selection except 1 replacement of Sanjay Manjrekar in place of Saurav Ganguly and the caption as Kapil Dev or Anil Kumble    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Where is fifth bowler?? by Sunil Vaidya on Dec 16, 2015 04:40 PM guru, were you sleeping when in this very rediff forum it was reported that sehwag considered kumble as the finest captain that he played under? he did not name ganguly as the best captain he played under... in fact though he was successful as an opener...he surprisingly said later in his career that maybe he would have been more successful down the order than as an opener... wonder how ganguly felt at that time...

Re: Re: Ganguli out VVS in by Sunil Vaidya on Dec 16, 2015 02:44 PM you must have never watched cricket....dhoni's achievements as a captain are much more than ganguly (i am not saying ganguly was a bad captain but certainly not above dhoni) achievements as a captain...    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Re: Re: Re: Ganguli out VVS in by Guru RamRahimDsuza on Dec 16, 2015 03:51 PM Dhoni thrived on the hard work Dada did as captain. We have all seen how Dhoni struggled when players groomed by Dada lost form or retired..    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Ganguli out VVS in by Sunil Vaidya on Dec 16, 2015 03:56 PM nonsense...dhoni has done well with all players older generation and new generation... btw why did not ganguly with his supposedly built up team by himself win any OVERSEAS TESTS SERIES WINS? Forward   |   Report abuse
