Friends, I am Lotiya Pathan, great fan of ganguly. Yesterday I have watched full match by awaking in the night in Tokyo.
My observation; 1. Ganguly was great player, he is achieved what he wanted, 10 K run in ODI plus 100 wickets. But yesterday, he was looking tired during the fielding, may be age factor. There was lack of enthusiam in his body language. During saving a boundry, he was struggling. I am not agnst him, but I strognly believe that this is the right time that he should gracefully take retirement, and thus creating opportuinity for youngsters. He can play Test matches for 1 or 2 series and take retirement from that format too.
2. Tendulkar: He was great, He is great and he will remain great. I have not seen any better batsman than tendulkar in my life. He is God of cricket. Wow, the way he was playing yesterday..no one can describe in his paper. one should have lucky to have watching such wonderful shots. It was just great. With this form, I have no doubt that he would be one of the prime member of WC-2011. People who critises him are really mad, do not have any real understanding of cricket.
3. Dravid: Wow, what a great batsman he is !! He is wall of test cricket. After sacked of ODI, he made consecutive hundreds in ranji matches agnst Mumbai and Punjab respectively. This shows, how class batsman he is !! So apart from regionalism, we must all agree, he is gem. No doubt, he is great player. I wish, if we all indian are able to met out well treatment t

Cont: I wish, if we all indian are able to met out well treatment to him. I am waiting for him comeback to provide solidity in the middle order.
4. Yuvraj-Dhoni: just great, matured enough to understand the need of ODI format. Well played. Both are future of India.
5. VVS: Again he failed to score agnst Punjab in ranji match. He is out of form now. I think, yuvi shd get chance instaed of vvs in test series. Yuvi will be handy in middle order.

ya I am agree with you lotiya ..yuvraj must get a place sply in this serious ..this will be a good message for players to play better for country n getting prise of it sooner.Test matches playing doesn't meant to having players who is out of form ..better to go with those players who had performed well in other format and that too with same opponent.That makes a sense n appreciates players for their good batting display .I dont understand why BCCI doesn't notice such creative things as other boards do ..they always give chances to those players too who perform great n outstanding even in warm up matches.But in India BCCI's policy is wat on upper hand always.Now this is the time for everyone to think big n try something different than past.Yuvi must be in playing leven against Pak in Test series sply in place of Laxman/Ganguly

Mr.Dhar kemon aachho ..aapki ki ek ta hi dada r fan ? See Ganguly has been a great player in indian cricket no doubt ..but there is a certain period of time when ..physical strength and mental power lacks ..I guess now a days Ganguly has lost both his great skills [ orry to say physically strength is wat he always lacking in past too but his natural stroke playing quality protected it] .Mental game no doubt he has been sperior in that ..that's y he lead india to few great victories in past .But Now its real time for his own realisation where he finds himself fit n that too in which format of game ..20-20 , ODI or Test .Test or 20-20 ..I dont think he will be worthy .But its just ODI where he has still something remaining in him .But for that too ..He need to be 100% fit ,in form ,mentally strong and always preapared to be ready to give opporutunity to better player than him if any is there in his slot to play for India.Pride of nation is different thing than personal issue ,I hope he understand where nation's pride lies.All The best Dada..Bhaalo theko n play with ur 100% ..not less than it plz.

nice observation man ...I think either one must be good knowledgable of cricket game to comment or he must have good way to criticise not just abusing blah blah ...that shows how poor fan are they ...little knowledge of game and jealousy with particular cricketers and all.
