Kiran More

Absolutely rubbish, Ganguly didnt perform even in his first world cup. He was dropped not by Marathi Lobby but by combine duo of Chappel and Dhone ( both were choice of Ganguly for Coach and wicket keeper )
More said youngstars performed in world cup , but if we see performance in world cup it was veterans like Yuvraj, Harbhajan, Zahir Khan, Tendulkar and Gambhir out of these except Sachin all pleyers also gradually removed by Dhoni to gain his suprmacy

No answer really

Your whole exercise was to justify Dravid's captaincy but no precise pointed reason given for Ganguly's axing. Greg was furious because none esefrom India could respond banters with eye to eye confrontation.Even Gavaskar described histoughness as historical

TEAM'S REQUIREMENT WAS DIFFERENT .

Dada , was no doubt good batsman but during that time

in 2005 Team India needed good athletic batsman who are

very good fielders as well , specially for ODI's &

20-20's , as team were in rebuilding phase .

That's why Ganguly & later VVS was dropped .

Hence young & good batsman who are good fielders like

Yuvraj , Robin Uttappa , Raina , Gambhir were selected .

That way selectors decision were justified .

THERE WERE NO POLITICS IN IT - -

As usual you have started fartingthrough your mouth . After dropping Ganguly played domestic cricket and became man of the series in Srilanka and man of the match in South Africa in a winning cause.1st time india won in South Africa on Gangulys brilliant run making. As far as form Kaif,pathan,kumble and many others were out of form and all of Chappells blue eyed young brigade faultered in many matches. It was seniors like dravid ganguly and sachin who came to rescue.You mentioned Uthuppa.He has been the biggest underprformer in Indian cricket inspite of plenty of chances. Even Sachin said Gregs tenure was a disaster and he was a vindictive person. And that More colluded with Greg to axe Ganguly. If you cant see this either you are blind or pretending to be one

Baseless reasons are shown where the actual cause is different. Precisely the influential lobby plays a big part and he is the mouthpiece of them and also had some vested interest. But overall it damages the Indian Cricket so these justifications are not only useless but a calculated effort to turn the truth and public mind.

why suddenly this question now? is More trying to win back Saurav's pardon? Kiran More also run a cricket academy and he would definitely want players from his academy to make it to the Indian team otherwise his academy would have to be closed down. Kiran More and that Greg Chappel didn't consult anyone before leaving Saurav out, that's why it had to be discussed in the parliament. All justifications that More gives now is useless and every word he utters goes on to strengthen our belief that he was a culprit and Saurav the victim.
