Saurav Gangoli
by anand mehta on Jan 23, 2008 04:42 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

We are quite prepared for the exclusion of Dravid, Laxman and Kumble(he has retired from ODI)and also Jafar(bad form). But Saurav has contributed runs and that also at a fast rate in the recently played ODIs. Hence the surtprise and indignation by all over India(not only in WB). He should be retained and Robin can be given a chance later. Pawar can easily put pressure on the selectors.

Ganguly is dropped from One day.
In 2007
Sachin scored 1425 Run at 47 AVG.
Ganguly Scored 1240 Runs at 43 Avg.

Ganguly is dropped because of Batting in last four series and slow fielding

FutureCup 3matches- 73 RUNs-No-24.33 Avg--V BAD.
ENGLAND 7matches-249runs--35.57Avg--OK, NOT BAD
AUSIES 5matches-127 runs--31.75Avg-- BAD.
PAK---4 matches-89 Runs--22.25Avg--Very BAD.

Well, Dropping Saurav Ganguly is not all justified..
Even players like Dhoni should be dropped...
Especially off the test team where he is a complete failure..
inclusion of players like Dinesh Karthik is also not justified when Parthiv Patel has been scoring at an average above 50 in the Ranji matches..
I think we need a change...IN THE BCCI Board and in the Selection committee.. :)
