whole team is responsible for defeat
by Suman Bhat on Mar 25, 2007 11:08 AM

main culprit is ganguly who played big role in defeat against Bangladesh ganguly is selfish, wasted more balls than runs he socred against bangaldesh and trying to sabotage ind capgaign for WC by playing negative cricket. scoring 60 runs in 130 balls and throwing wkt at the 44 th over and running between wkt, unwilling to rotate strike, no singles creating pressure on other batsman - how it will help to team??

What about contribtuion of ganguly to team defeat. First match only he played the negative cricket,scored more runs for self to finish 1000 runs in WC and played main role in defeat against banladesh.
dravid anchored the success for ganguly as captain during ganguly's 5 yrs tenure. Before joining team to SA tour,In an interview ganguly told that he will be happy to reciprocate if gets a chance. ganguly and sachin dhoni, yuvraj failed yesterday when team required their service for crucial match
India Scored 191 in 50 overs
Ganguly Scored 66 runs in 21 overs wasted more balls than runs he scored.,
Yuvraj Scored 47 runs in 10 overs
Rest of team scored 50 in 19 overs
Against burmada he scored 89 in 114 balls wasted 25 balls that is around 4.6 runs per over... compare it to the indian teams average of 8.26 Ganguly was struggling while batting against burmuda, and got 3 lifes and unable to find gaps, ( one meaiden over b%u2019cuz of ganguly).
Ganguly is playing self, negative cricket and not helping team cuase tried to save his wkt playing as if it is test and scored runs for himself.
sewag's 100 helped the team to build a big total agianst bermuda, and win the match with good runrate
even agaisnt burmada, he got 3 life but his run rate is 4.6 while team average is 8.1
Ganguly played to save his wkt,struggled thorught both innings and unable find gaps.ganguly Wasted 50% balls he faced, and unwilling to take singles, rotate strike,and creating pressurer on batsman on other side, slow runrate, poor running between wkt, etc his defensive attitude did not help team by scoring highest nos runs me made sure nobody will tak his name but the negative cricket he is playing for self, is not helping team Ganguly is l bent to sabotage Indian campaign in WC
