ganguly deserves such a welcome cos he has proved himself...he fought back his place in the team..and has been the highest scorer for india this wc..and his average after comeback is also quite good...better than others...he deserves a gr8 welcome cos he has earned it..

Ganguly is a good batsman, but he had not performed according to his status. He struggled for run on the pitch. He still has a fear of dropping out from the team. He should keep it out of his mind and then play a natural game. Definitely he is not a good contender for captainship this time may be in future he will be.

We lost Bangaldesh match only becuase of poor batting of Saurav, he played more dot balls. This what happen whern senior players comback to team, they play slow to make runs to prove themselves, ultimately causing team to loos match.

Stop blaming...What do you mean when you say we lost becuase of DADA...Remember he was the highest scorer and he was the only scorer.Take away his 69 and imaginf what would be the total.If u think he played so,what were other players doing????Counting chockens

Then what abt ponting and jyasuria? r they new comers? arn't they playing well? as long as a player is fit enough to play he should be playing. nothing wrong with that. and more over our senior cricketers are just around 32-33. see how many players u will find in other teams. i am sure u will find loads and loads of players. Age is not the reason why we lost. the players are subjected to extreme pressure and that is killing them and the game as well. Don't make any noise for some time and watch them play the subsequent series, u will see that they play and win too.

Don't put anyone in front of the team. if indian team failed then ganguly filed. if indian team suceeded then he suceeded. this hold good for everyone in the team.

however i want to add that india lost in wc just cos ppl were aiming at individual excellence rather than aiming for team india to win...ganguly did score a lot after his comeback but most of the times he played safe...he never took on the bowling...he feared failure and omission and so played safe and built a steady score which was always lesser than the number of balls faced...he never played for india to win...but for his own personal score..even others in some way or other did that..they also tried to be smart and selfish like ganguly..and thats the reason india is out of world cup..but ganguly did earn the spot and a warm welcome by scoring runs..but whts d use when india is out??look at aus or nz...they play for the team to win..its a collective effort..but the indian players played for their own respect and personal scores..its sad

I dont know whether Ganguly played for himself or team in the World Cup... but 1 thing I am sure is of is that he used to play for the team 2 years back... He placed his individual interests back for the sake of the team... he left his favourite opening place for the team...
The question is... what did he get in return???
And on the other hand is Sachin Tendulkar who has been playing for his records for so long and still is in the team (remember how he blasted the captain in Multan Test just coz he wasn't able to complete the 200) ..
Again the question is : What did he get??
Now if I had a choice in this kind of setup... I would opt for playing myself...
