Both are anextraordinary batsmen and have their unique style of playin but maybe Lara is much more flexible than Ganguly. But Dada have Fought back in to the Team with lots of variety strokes in his armour now. BEST OF LUCK DADA and Obviously to the Indian team.

hi No i think both are equally great.It sjust that certain batsmen has an aura around them which makes us feel that they are greater.One of them is lara.Otherwise if you see one day record both are equally good.If anything ganguly is a touch better.obviously no doubt lara is better in tests.
This is purely friendship out of cricket. Two greats are meeting, especially when Dada is in Lara's country. It is a hospitality extended to dada as a sort of reciprocation. The media is playing this out of proportion. Sorry, after they also need business to manage their show. Best of Luck Dada and best of luck to Lara, the two greats - it is a treat to watch them playing. Lara, please do not make inroads to indian team. This is because I am an Indian and would like my team to win the cup. Carry on the greats.

You are beating around the bush.However, one could make out a characterstic of a person out of your writing.
In all speculations over comparison between 2 outstanding standard south paws,with lara at highest level,Best wishes to Indian Team.Both India and west indies are dark horses of WC.Certainly with great batting line ups both looks good,but they have to perform there ,its about executation.With LARA,DRAVID,SACHIN,GAYLE,GANGULI,CHANDRAPOL-atleast on paper it looked great untilll it is destroyed like castle of playing card...But INDIAN BALLING looks best with Zaheer in great form,agarkar's wicket taking ability and fit patel looks good with west indian tracks.bhajji-kumble can be a jwellery.Just pray that things happens well LARA IS THE BEST PLAYER IN THE WORLD AND SPECIALLY HE LOOKS BETTER THAN SACHIN AT END OF CARRER.HE IS OUTSTANDING,LEGACY,WHO LOOKS VERY COMPETITIBLE AGAINST NEW GREATS LIKE PONTING,YUSUF OR HUSSEY AT SOME EXTENT.GANGULI IN 98-99 WAS AS BIG AS LARA AND SACHIN SPECIALLY IN ONE DAY CRICKET.10,000 RUNS,22 HUNDREADS..ITS NOT A JOKE.AFTER A WORST PATCH,BEING DROPPED 4M TEAM,STORY DID NOT END,HE FOUGHT BACK AND LOOKS DETERMINANT,FIHTER,GOOD AGAINST SHORT-PITCHES.MOST RUNS IN SA ANS S.L. SERIES,SECOND HIGHEST AGAINS WEST-INDIES,DADA IS BACK.2DAY GANGULI IS NOT CONSIDERD AS BIG AS SACHIN,LARA OR DRAVID.HIS OUTSTANDING CARRER IN ONEDAYERS SHOWS HIM A GREAT PLAYER.NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN ANYONE RETURNING BACK WITH THIS SUCCESS AFTER BENG TREATED LIKE DOG..HE IS REALLY GREAT.BUT HE HAS TO PROOVE HIMSELF AS BIG AS LARA OR SACHIN.HOPE HE PLAYS WELL IN WORLD CUP.AMEN

Hello Mr.Ian, As per as ODI concern, Ganguly deserved to compare with Lara. Look at his ODI run, Centuries and averages... he is more than Lara.. I don't think a person can come back with with great shine like Ganguly after expelled from the team due to nonsense reasons made against him...

Hi Buddy ! You need immediate medical attention. You are suffering from Schizophrenia and serious bouts of permanent memory loss !! Only doctor's can help you. Not sure with your condition you would remember who a doctor is. You have a home made remedy, some people have tried successfully ... bang your head 17 times on a concrete wall and then take dip in ice cold water and then smother your self with pure cow dung. You'll regain your sanity for sure. If these don't work, I see no hope for you GURU !!

I donot understand why some people like GOEL/CHAPPEL are making unnecessary comments on Ganguly.
The picture is published...it is ok...wh to compare two players..
This GOEL/CHAPPEL probably donot have any other things do...
And Ganguly is quite good in one day cricket...he can be compared to anyone else...
