Experts view on Ganguly When Ganguly was dropped post the Cahppel -email episode, Sidhu, Jadeja and other "experts" thought it was vendetta and victimisation. Chappell had always maintained that it was becuse of poor form and poor attitude. Now that Ganguly's 130-ball 66 put India out of the World Cup, Sidhu and Jadeja have veered round to the view that Ganguly's innings was bad. Now Mr. Jadeja and Sidhu, can you accept that you were wrong and Chappell was right and that Ganguly has an attitude problem. I can understand poor form but nobody should tolerate selfishness in a team sport at the highest levels. By Kiran Saturday, April 21, 2007 From the Guardian on Ganguly's 66 "The South Africans think Jacques Kallis is slow and plays for himself? Have they seen Ganguly score 66 off 130 balls against Bangladesh? I have, and haven't been able to sleep since. Kallis is a bullet train by comparison" indeed Mr Ayaz, I saw that too, and I think that it may be the worst innings of the World Cup so far. By Anoop Saturday, April 21, 2007 Ganguly slant To me one of the greatest mysteries in Indian cricket is the continued hype around Ganguly - who in my view and in the view of people who have worked with him such as Chappell,is the most overrated cricketer of all time. By increasing pressure on Dravid and Yuvraj and forcing them to accelerate and throw away their wickets, his snail-paced 66 was the most obvious reason for India's exit. If you look at his records, his centuries have come against Kenya, Namibia, Bgdesh, and England when they were a very ordinary side in the late 90s. How many hundreds does he have against Aus - just one in 15 years of international cricket!!! So what oh what, is the reason for this perpetual bias? By Sunil Saturday, April 21, 2007 Not the mos diabolitic of decision Sachin being VC is failed with bat during WC. IF he had any problem with dravid or chappell why he did not approach the board instead of media? And again why telegraph is always comes with headlines with against dravid ? Whatever happens to ganguly it is projected the is b%u2019cuz of dravid?How can a ganguly%u2019s performance helped the team ?? His 129-ball 66 against Bangladesh, 114-ball 89 against Bermuda, and 23-ball 7 against Sri Lanka conveyed the impression that he was more concerned with making runs for himself than the team. Poor fielding, poor running between wkt, and unwilling to take singles not rotating strke etc.. Many cricket / media expert are telling dravid influencing the sehwag why reliable sources ?? sehwag is highest run getter with better average and strike rate? He is highest rungetter and scored 100 in WC while no other batsman including yuvraj did not score 100 against Bermuda also When ganguly was captain, laxman and kumble were out of team even after good performance which ended odi career of laxman and kumble. Fair, but stop camouflaging have to keep emotions and respect for individual players out of the way . Sourav Ganguly and Sachin Tendulkar have been rested while the other players have been dropped
