When they play with India they feel they are fighting with Hindus. Even in India there are people who support Pakistan Cricketers - it includes few indian muslims and few Hindus. Why people are so confused between play and religion..... it is all because of our Govt. who supports minority to just get their votes.... Best wishes to Indian Team.. cheers

Yes Mr. Unnni u r right , if i were Dhoni i would have given Reply like this.
T20 World cup is our Idd gift in advance to our Hindustani Muslim bhai all over the world.
dhoni captaincy was the difference. a captain comes in the picture esp during the fielding part. (agreed, for deciding on winning the toss, making changes in batting order, etc. also is imp) in this t20 tourney, dhoni used his bowlers very well, even for defending totals as low as 143 or 157, etc. totals having 8 runs avg. also looks mediocre. but dhoni defended these totals, there shows his real captaincy skills. it also shows in this t20 wc, that it was more for bowlers to take credit, than for batsman except individual brilliance of batsman like yuvi,gambhir.
come on man..... who told pakistanis are uneducated.....the are very well educated on terrorism, their madarssa's tell them how to create terror attacks in india nad other countries... madarssa appears for many as school but in fact I think it is a school of religious preaches( they destroy young muslims and teach them that their religion only should exist in this world and other religions should be perished....such was their shelfish attitude) along with some terrorist lessons..................... come on young muslims ,understand that all religions have their right to live in this world.... dont encourage those who divert you away from this world.... pakistan is is really playing with the lives of our indian muslims who otherwise have a feeling of bhai-bhai with hindu brothers and sisters.
hey muslims of india( with good attitude to our country) wakeup... let us make their tricks in vain
Ganuly is true fighter . Likwise , Dhoni & boys are also true fighter.Under Ganguly, India reached 5-6 important final including world cup2003,but could win only Netwest final mainly due to Yvui & Kaif when first 5-6 wicket cheaply ,still they could score 300 odd runs. Ganguly has built the core team with youngsters ( at that time) like Yuvi, Pathan, Bhajji,Sehwag, Ghambir, Zahir,Balaji who played their heart out for India. The many of the same players Yuvi, Pathan ,Gambhir have contributed heavily for 20-20 World cup victory. Hence a great and large hearted Captain like Ganguly can only priase ,abudding captain Dhoni ,as we can see Ganguly's Image in Dhonis style.

I don't think your observation will go well with the Dravid fans - the message will have a long tail of Ganguly/Bengali bashing then some counter Dravid / South Indian / Kannadiga bashing and occassionally Sachin would also receive some 'Blow Hot & Blow Cold Treatment' Just watch the Fun. ENJOY!!!

Ganguly is worser than rookies of 20-20 like Sharma Yusuf Uthappa and Gambhir all capable of replacing him in ODI.

I agree. Most of the matches India won were due to Sachin. Also too much was made out of reaching the final- as we got lucky with our semi final opponent Kenya.
Initially Ganguly was good, but later he was a burden on the team [ as a batsman ], but his real downfall started from Nagpur test against Australia. Also during 2004 series victory in Pakistan- he did not play in two out of three test matches. I could not bear the pain of seeing Ganguly fall to predictable short pitch deliveries during ODI series against Pakistan in India in 2005 which India lost 2-4.

Ganguly trying to ensure his place in ODI and tests by doing that. It is already challenged by some fantastic performances in 20-20
Ganguly%u2019s own performance in World Cup 2003 matches which all his supporters are claiming as tall.
Against major oppositions where opening partnership was spoiled by Ganguly
8 v New Zealand at Paarl 9 v Aus at Centurion 19 v Eng at Durban 0 v Pak at 48 v SL at Johannesburg 3 v NZ at Centurion 24 v Aus at Johannesburg
And now look Tiger against minnows
112 not out v Nam atPietermaritzburg 107 not out v Ken at Cape Town 111 not out v Ken at Durban 24 v Zim at Harare
Not out against minnows to swell averages but mediocre batting performance. Now go and find out why we went to Finals who scored there? Keniya went to semis as England and New Zealand surrendered matches and points as protest against Zimbabwe regime for their safety. And those were supposed to be played there in Zimbabwe.
and as England and New Zealand surrendered their matches in protest against Zim regime Kenya came to semis. Ganguly is worser than rookies of 20-20 like Sharma Yusuf Uthappa and Gambhir all capable of replacing him in ODI

Name the greatest test player of India who played much more than 50 tests
1) who is yet to score test century against South Africa full of pace bowlers.
2) who is yet to score test century against Pakistan. Full of pace bowlers.
2) who has scored only test century against Australia without its main pace bowlers.

Ganguly's best contribution was to stay away from T20 Championship. :) Ganguly was a fighter so was several other players. What is the big deal about it? Dont make a small thing look like a mountain

Only one comment against Ganguly I expected many more - Are all Ganguly bashers too tired???
What a great team effort it has been! All the cricket lovers have been rewarded with the great triumph !Thanks to Dhoni and his boys for achieving the World Cup ! Good Luck (to keep their heads level as they will be showered lots of love and MONEY and FAME)!
The Purpose of Rahul ,Sachin and Ganguly playing in the team will be to only set records No motivation is left for them other than setting records. They would have never imagined india to win the world Cup without them.
Dhoni winning in his very first tournament T20 WC is a remarkable achievement. i am not sure if there are many parallels. there is no doubt that Dhonis captaincy was the clinching difference between the two equal teams . besides, the passion and the fighting spirit of 1983 which went missing in between from the Indian side returned with vengeance in the young team led by Dhoni. if the same momentum is maintained the Aussies may be in for a big surprise.
