Ganguly should have never been called back, it basically created many power centers within the team, thus damaging their morale. I really wonder about what Somnath Chatterjee and other senile leftist commy bong MPs are doing about India's debacle, they had all the time in the world to shriek for Ganguly's inclusion.

Though I do not agree entirely to your bengali bashing... I would agree on some of the things
Compare todays Ganguly with today's hayden or today's Gilchrist or even today's Jayasurya. Where does dada stand ? But the fact is even though dada scored at a very poor rate, we still did not have a better option, remember the previous West Indies tour. We keep saying we are a country of Billion, unfortunately our youngsters have not stood up to the challenge. Remember the countless opportunities given to Kaif, Raina, Pathan, Dhoni, RP Singh. All of them have failed when India needed the most. The only option now is to remove dada, Sachin, Shewag, Harbajan from Indian one day team. Let Dravid be the captain till he can mentor yuvraj or some other youngster. I would retain Dravid over dada, Sachin, Shewag and Harbajan because even now he plays when the team needs the most and is very consistent and scores at a good rate in the middle overs. Team India please fill in all the other positions with youngsters. I think it will be a good idea to drop Dhoni and Pathan because they have not realized how great it is to represent Indian cricket. They may come back hungry at a later time.... Please bring in people like Manoj Tewary, Rohit Sharma, Romesh Pawar and Abid Nabi etc. They should conduct talent search i.e. divide our country into 4 zones, pick the best 15 in each zone and finally come up with Indias best 15 or 30 and give the youngsters chance in our team. Australians are physically and mentally strong after 30, but sadly indians loose their strength when they cross 30, so we have no other option then to select youngsters in our one day team. Dada, Sachin and Harbajan can limit themselves to test cricket if they want. India is a country where cricket is a religion that ties the entire country, and people representing us have no right to treat us in the shabby manner they did recently. It is time that they reap what they sowed...

I understand the frustation of the "Hate Ganguly" club and sympethise with you, my only request is to give yourself some time, the wounds would heal. Let me make an anology, like democracy in our country is young and we are fond of our rights but what true democracy is valuntary discharge of our duties and it comes with maturity. Similarly we now love the game and just enjoy the wins, as the spectators would mature they would understand the finer points of the game. As with any exam we find our children failing when we put too much pressure to succed, so this is a God send opportunity for the team as well as the fans to learns and behave with maturity and probably then may be able to appreciate the tenacity of Ganguly.

I was a recent convert to "hate-ganguly" club . The "tenacity" of Ganguly is at best dubious. He was removed from the team for non-performance, and he continued to have bad performances in domestic cricket. Our team lose a series in WI, hell broke lose in the parliament. It is a shame on all the Bengali MPs, note that they are all leftists who are not supposed to believe in this capitilistic sport, to debate this in the parliament . All the while Ganguly was smug, even when the calcuttans cheered SA over India. He gets in the team, and yes he has had a few decent performances since then. But the point is simple, the rules were bent to accommodate him again, which is what i don't like. By doing this, BCCI has said that if you have a rowdy regional lobby behind you, you don't need to worry about rules. His off-field cunning trumps his on-field skills.
