His ongoing form was indeed horrible), went back to domestic cricket to fix it right, returned to international cricket in less than a year, and after that scored most runs for India in the Africa tour, 2nd highest runs in the England tour (averaging 55), highest runs in the home series against Africa and Pakistan (earning the man of the series in the process), and scoring 300+ runs in the last series against Australia at an average of 54, 1200+ runs in the ODI year, including a man of the series and 1000+ in tests? Can't you see how Ganguly rubbed his a** on the face of Greg Chappell and Kiran More after his comeback? He didn't require to show his middle-finger, his bat said it all, get that, dumbo?

I found this entry ... Although even if I admire Ganguly and his never say die attitude you have to admit that he is also guilty of region based politics .. You conveniently forgot about the Deep Dasguptas that Ganguly has favored ... Also he destroyed the career of Shiv Sundar Das ... Agreed to an extent that in today's date he might not have a place in today's opening slots where we have the likes of Gambhir and Vijay (forget about Sehwag's slot , that's permanent for him) ... But then they too had a lot of chances before they started to shine ... Das was promptly dropped after one bad series in West Indies during when Ganguly had a big say in selectorial matters ... So its not exactly your "Bong" is a saint Since the Arundhati article was so small I was wading through some of your older entries … I found this entry … Although even if I admire Ganguly and his never say die attitude you have to admit that he is also guilty of region based politics ..

Even though I am from Ranchi i feel that its high time Dhoni should stop playing cricket, leave apart captaining the national side. I just can't recall any of his good innings except that 183 which according to me was bad Sri Lankan bowling more than anything else. He is extremely fortunate to have gotten a team like this. I don't understand his apathy towards batting up in the order. May be its his cowardice approach, fear of media flank or he is aware of his limitations. He has stuck into this Indian team like a leach sucking blood. His reluctance to give chance to other talented players like Saurabh Tiwari, Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara, Abhishek Nayar etc. may prove fatal to the future of Indian cricket. Another thing which is hard to justify is the need of these cricketers to indulge in add shoots. I know that nothing comes for free and at the end of the day its adipose wallet which matters. But the question is how much is too much. Are they paid less. Is revenue earned from international matches, IPL, Airtel Chapions League insufficient to them. I would not believe it for a second that Dhoni uses Micromax, rides TVS star city, uses cello to write and uses bryl cream. Doing add shoots is not bad, but at the same time u have to concentrate on the very thing for which you have become worthy of doing these add shoots. Our very own Sachin sets the perfect precedent for this. He has done numerous add shoots but has never deviated from his goal and thats why he is held in such high regards. Dhoni should take some lesson from him. I think the selectors should harden their stance on it. Dhoni should be axed, at least for while to make him realise that no one's place in Indian cricket team is taken for granted. Alas! our selectors could have themselves realised it.

I for one always used to think does this man deserve a place in the side, but there definitely was a time when Gangully took his foot off the accelerator and was resting more on the laurels of the Invincible Dravid and an emerging Sehwag. But the inputs you have about Sachin and friends, a reincarnation of swami and friends almost after a century and Azar's persistence of VPR are very astute. You however did not make a mention of the era when Karnataka was team India, courtesy one of India's finest batsmen was at the helm of BCCI, else you cannot fathom the fact that players like David Johnson, Vijay Bharadwaj and even Surjit Somsunder found a place in the Indian team. The zenith point was the emphasis on a leader not disintegrating when his own performance lets him down, which on retrospection never seemed to be the case with Saurav. Publish this Article elsewhere, in case you already haven’t and Ganguly can win a Lok Sabha seat even from West Mumbai, knowing how emotion mass hysteria rules the discernment of we Indians.
