ganguly media managers are doing overtime job and captainging for dravid and sachin should be out and ganguly make captainganguly wasted more balls than runs he scored poor fielding and poor running wkt and unwilling to take singles cost more runs to team also created pressure on batsman on other side He did not bother to try and hold an easy catch during agarkar%u2019s bowling 60 runs in 130 balls how it can help a team cause?? Ganguly had one stage for having batted through nearly 11 overs to make a mere 7 runs. Yuvraj Scored 47 runs in 10 overs India Scored 191 in 50 overs Ganguly Scored 66 runs in 21 overs wasted more balls than runs he scored., starting with India's tour to Pakistan in early 2006 %u2014 India have played 41 One-day internationals (ODIs). Tendulkar has played in 26 of those and averaged 44.67 over this period with an impressive strike rate of 83.15 and six fifties and three centuries to boot. It might seem like there is no room for complaint here.
However, the problem is that hardly any of Tendulkar's big innings have come against the best bowling attacks in trying conditions. In three matches against the Australians, he has scores of 12, 4 and 10.
Against the South Africans in their country he hasn't done much better with scores of 35, 2, 1 and 55. Two of the three hundreds have come against weak West Indian attacks on flat tracks in Malaysia and India and the third against Pakistan on a belter of a pitch. An average of almost 39 over 36 innings is only a touch below Dravid's career average and the strike rate of 75.28 is healthy too.
With 13 fifties and one century over this period, he hasn't exactly been a flop. Also, unlike Tendulkar, Dravid scored one fifty in the two ODI innings he played in South Africa and another against the Aussies on the nippy Mohali wicket during the Champions Trophy.
Sourav has played only nine innings since his return, but he has clocked up six fifties and a 48 for an average of 63.63, way above his overall career average.
The strike rate of 71.89 may be lower than you would expect from a stroke-player of his class, but is hardly something to be ashamed of. The only caveat one may have is that six of the nine innings have been on easy Indian pitches and against relatively weak attacks like West Indies or Sri Lanka minus Vaas and Muralitharan.
Of the remaining three, two have been against Bangladesh and Bermuda. wasted more balls than runs he scored
