It right to drop Ganguly.
by Sam Raj on Sep 12, 2008 10:10 PM

Media making lot of fuss about Drvid & Sacin, but in reality Ganguly is weaker player of all four and Kaif is now more matured who could fit into test team at no. 6 slot.

Selectors are very right in dropping Gangs from the team, as they want to introduce one new face in the playing 11 to start the transition. Selectors can not drop Sachin as he is one of the alltime great players in the world and stands right with Lara, Pontings etc...even if he had a poor series that doesn't matter. Now Dravid who is one of the most trustable batsman in the line up and he too stands right with the greats of modern cricketers in the modern era and he is just a innings away from to be back to his usual WALL act. Finally the chaoice between VVS and Ganguly, even a school kid says that VVS far more better player than ganguly on any day of the week (forget about stats test cricket about playing the situation as well), moreover all these three stars are under mid thirtees and VVS being yengest of all at 33. Gangs is now almost 37 years and which is a good to be retiring age from the cricket for his kind of modest player......

Gangs just fooling himself to divert the attention of the media and the fans......Selectors are not dummies and some of them are great Indian crickers in their era and they know as much as what Gangs or Media (Star TV folks) knows about cricket and there are no politics nor the regional bias involved in droping Gangs..So stop bugging and hang up boots.
