Why don't you write an article saying "I hate Ganguly"?
What is the point in this analysis? Either have the guts to say that Ganguly played badly (which the score doesn't say), or report a game like a report...
How fools like you get jobs to write? Rediff must be going to dogs to allow you to hold a pen.
How come there was no ball-by-ball analysis of Dravid's innings in his 20-20 match?
Sorry about this... Don't mean to demean Dravid. But this point was necessary to highlight the agenda of rediff which is to solely target Ganguly. I also find the attitude of the moderator deplorable, for disabling abuse-reports on pro-Dravid and anti-Ganguly sycophants like Mrs. Suman Bhat. Spineless people. You stoke people's emotions for your own gains...
All eyes were on Rahul Dravid, playing his first-ever Twenty20 match, but he barely created an impression. He lasted just 8 balls, scoring a solitary single, barely attempting a big shot in his stay at the crease. Robin Uthappa, another player whose game is ideally suited to this truncated version of the game, failed once more, using up 16 balls for 6
This may be Ganguly's first official match in India, but last year he had played for Northamptonshire in county and was reasonably successful in 20-20. In county, he batted moderately well, but bowled better. In fact, his bowling record in county was better than Zaheer's.
Yesterday, his 26 in 20 balls (that leads to about 160, a possibel winning score) was not bad, at least for an opener who is usually a bit circumspect to start with in 20-20. Besides, he got 2 wickets for 16. So, it was not a bad show. But everything said and done, he may not continue in 20-20 that is pre-dominantly more a power game.
i feel 20/20 is such a short game, any one who is lucky throwing his bat can become a super star. there is little room to show cricketing skills, either batting or bowling. in short 20/20 is like a circus or lottery

Suma Bhat again.. after his beloved Dravid took India to the worst ever performance.. he is still happy.. Any individual with minimum degree of self respect would have stepped off from captaincy with this worst show.. But Dravid proved that he is hungry for more defeats.. with people like Suman Bhat supporting him only to go against Ganguly.. ridiculus..

For "ON" and others like "ON"
From your language I can know how you are. I am not here to argue with you. Just make a healthy argument. Don't use abusive word. I also know. But I am a human being.
I hope similar messages from so many. But you are the 1st person. I don't mind. I know you people are sleeping with opening youe eye. Noone can wake you up. This is as per my cricketing knowledge. Nothing required to advice me. Better change yourself. Ok.
