So, Mr. Panicker thinks Board is wrong in not punishing Ganguly. Did he check with team manager's report on the issue? If that is to be believed, it you can pass it on by saying that even the new team manager has taken sides. When will these commentators learn to just comment instead of presenting their pre-formed biased opinions?
Looks like R u a gr8t ardent fan of Mr Ganguly ? I donno abt chappell but Ganguly is definitely NOT FIT to lead the indian cricket team. its easy to explain y sacking the coach is not in the best interest of indian cricket. U r an ardent fan of Gangly and hence u take 'Chappell is a liar' as a fact. Even if u sack chappell, the virus still exists in the team infact becomes more strengthened... So its good to have someone who doesnt blindly support ganguly's oo-aah-ouch acts !!!!!
Yes, Premji, You cant be more right. This matter, which is one of biggest scandal in Indian history of cricket, is hushed up very conveniently. Though I must acknowledge the fact that this is not quite unlike of the Indian politics and even you have predicted the same in your earlier column, but at the same time there is no denial of the fact, the people has a right to know that who is the actual culprit, because common cricket lovers are only persons who are bothered and genuinely concerned about the 'best interests of Indian cricket'. At last, Thanks for the article. Please keep writing more frequently.
THis is the reason why india is not improving in sny sports.Cricket is clear example.India's is second most populous country and finding best 11 is,nt possible.Sorry it's bcci and selectors who ruined india.their politics and influence on some players can be clearly indicated as in case of ganguly.Hence better follow foreign policy.just appointing foreign coach is,nt enough.
These guys at the BCCI(including the players) dont know how to be honest. Chappell's mail was so crystal clear. The man knows his job. The players and BCCI want to just have their cash registers ringing. They will stoop down to any level to con the public. Chappell will very soon get sucked into the system and be one of them(Why take the trouble of getting on the wrong side - a La Wright). INDIAN CRICKET SUCKS. STOP WATCHING. I PRAY AND HOPE TO SEE EMPTY STAIDUMS IN THE NEAR FUTURE
I'm getting bored of reading you now...every time your article is nothing but full of negativity and blaming the system and stuff..now there are thousands who write the same way - why should I read you anymore?
We can't believe that Saurav cannot play fast bowlers, he was the opener for India, most of his career runs came from as a opener batsman, he was the nightmare for fast bowlers, he played many big shots to fast bowler, i myself remember his maximum shots which he played to fast bowlers. I don't want to comment who is liar or not, but only i want to say Saurav is suffering from out of form. And be frankly speaking now its difficult for him to come back as a same batsmen which he was 3 years back, due to many contreversies against him
Saurav best innings 183 VS S.Lanka, 153 Vs N.zealand, 140 vs South Africa, 141 vs Pakistan over all 22 100's. Some people want to say that all his centuries and runs came against spinners, we are not blind.
Bowlers suffered by Ganguly batting, ex:- Andre Nel, Akram, Ntini, Cairns, Vaas & Murali in 1999 World cup. I wish Saurav to have a good and respectable end of his career not controversial. He serve our country almost 10 years.

Dear Tayyab,
Your reply is wonderful, perhaps the best of the lot, even surpassing the quality of the article. I am saying so not because you have supported Saurav, because your support has been substantiated with statistics and some thoughtful analysis. I believe you are a genuine cricket-lover and not like lakhs of junk-viewers.
