It is really a surprise that people are talking about Ganguly when he has failed both against Australia compared to Sachin, Dravid and Laxman in the test series. It is better we need not talk about the placid wickets given for our players against Pak when several centuries and Double centurie4s were scord. Even in the T20 he was responsible for his own run out and that of Chopra on 3 occassions. Selectors have done the right thing after a long long time which they should have done before WC2007 to enable Greg and Dravid have their own say . They gave a batsman who scored 50 runs in 25 overs against Bangladesh and faired very badly against Srilanka when only Dravid and to some extent Sehwag were successful. There is no question of any regional or paroachial feelings . One should understand that by Promoting Dada always irrespective of his performance the east selector has done injustice to others of the zone. If SSDas fails twice he will be dropped but Ganguly was out bin the same manner if I rememmber against Zimbaqwe at long leg/Fine leg but carried on and on.

Dada is a very good batsman. Very courageous. He is a good fielder, too. Just count the number of run outs he has effected.
