I wonder where is Dravid...there hasn't been a single comment from the old chap. Is he sulking somewhere out of this world?

Hey you deepak, Never pass bad comments. Think of those moments where he rescued india from defeat. He is a gentlemen, What sort of comments you expect from him. He represented India and will always cheer for india. If you want to know where he is, try and get him. Good luck

IT IS BECAUSE OF DRAVID WE COULD SEE INDIA WIN. I THINK.HE DID A WISE DECISION NOT ONLY BY OPTING OUT OF TWENTY TWENTY BUT ALSO MADE GANGULY AND SACHIN TO OPT OUT

amazing stuff Saurav never cared for records... ha..ha...ha....read following.

Ganguly%u2019s own performance in World Cup 2003 matches which all his supporters are claiming as tall.

Against major oppositions where opening partnership was spoiled by Ganguly

8 v New Zealand at Paarl
9 v Aus at Centurion
19 v Eng at Durban
0 v Pak at
48 v SL at Johannesburg
3 v NZ at Centurion
24 v Aus at Johannesburg


And now look Tiger against minnows

112 not out v Nam atPietermaritzburg
107 not out v Ken at Cape Town
111 not out v Ken at Durban
24 v Zim at Harare

Not out against minnows to swell averages but mediocre batting performance. Now go and find out why we went to Finals who scored there? Keniya went to semis as England and New Zealand surrendered matches and points as protest against Zimbabwe regime for their safety. And those were supposed to be played there in Zimbabwe.

and as England and New Zealand surrendered their matches in protest against Zim regime Kenya came to semis.

In most of those matches the bowlers won it for us and Sachin too scored most of the runs against weaker opponents only, barring Pakistan Match where Sachin Scored 98, his other 100s were against Kenya & Namibia only. Against Australia Great Sachin Scored 36 & 5 & Great Dravid scored 1 in 23 balls & 47 (that too when the match was already lost) . Please check records before posting partisan comments!

how foolish somebody can be?
36 v Aus higest in innings
50 against England second highest after Dravid 62
97 vs Sri Lanka
98 against Pak all fergotten
even low scores are within top 3 in inning under seaming day nighters...

Ganguly is worser than rookies of 20-20 like Sharma Yusuf Uthappa and Gambhir all capable of replacing him in ODI.
