very truly said. I am not a big fan of any player whol takes 100 balls to score 50 runs. people are saying now atleast he score compared to other who were bowled for 0. No wonder we fight regional politics all the time and look at the state of Indian team also. I think we all are loosers.

I am totally agree with u. How Bengali forget that Ganguly is also member of Indian team who lost the world cup even enable to cross 1st round also, Bengali must understand that we are first indian and then Bengalis/Malyalis/Maharashtrians/Tamilians/NorthIndians.

Guys, Everybody in Calcutta is as disappointed as the rest of the country and Ganguly didnt do very well which deserves a welcome. I also think there was no welcome apart from some onlookers. Questioning the patriotism of an entire community on such grounds is absurd
