Ganguly's Return
by Venkat Prakash on Feb 23, 2007 06:28 PM

Great to see Saurav BAck among runs.. but have been following these coloumns for some time now,, many of the ppl from the east seem to feel Vindicated,, no reason to be so.. dont attach any lingo stuff to Saurav's return,, he was out of form and after a long time , selectors showed guts dropping a big name,, he got dropped , worked hard and got back and doing well,, Bravo.!!! he was infact not doing well as a player.. Tiger or no tiger,, he has been a great scorer in one dayers but doesnt mean if he gets dropped , the whole beangal is humiliated,, if we check the facts , it was plain performance which led to that.. after that India had a wonderful One dayers run , both @ home and pakistan...
And leadership qualities ,, doesnt always need to pump fist and take of shirt to show off ur aggro.!! its facing the fast bowlers with chin up is what makes u command respect.. Dravid has over and time done that.. he opened in pakistan and tried not to expose saurav to Shoib and co when his confidence was all not that great shows character,, and he forged that epic partnership with Veeru.. give it a chance mates.. dont treat this as a regional forum,, all were happy when Saurav did well,, most were disappointed when he was dropped,, (when ever we see a left arm spinner do well,, we think ,, lucky man , Saurav is not on strike..),, he s back and doing great.. calling Dravid weak or ?ing sehwags place or not gonna help.. move on and enjoy the team s performance.. GOOD LUCK INDIA.!!!!
