First of all congratulations Sourav on a well deserved 100 ! At this important milestone in his career it would be relevant to discuss why we need more not less of Ganguly.
1. He is the first "aggressive" Indian captain. He had the guts to stare down the toughest competitors in World cricket - the Australians. Unlike the meek and submissive players and captains of earlier eras (who all displayed great "sportsman spirit" when they lost - i.e. they lacked the killer instinct), he never backed down from a fight. He gave as good as he got. That is the secret of his success. After all it is not easy to be respected by Steve Waugh - it has to be earned. Steve like many other opponents admire and respect him for this very quality.
2. He is where he is on his own merit. At the moment he has no Godfather in BCCI watching over his career (we can ask why is Sehwag included in every team for every test and one day inspite of his "interesting" performances ?).
3. He personifies the spirit of "Never say die". That is something we all need to learn from him. It reminds me of the bull dog spirit of the English. Once he bites into something he does not let go of it. Kudos to his spirit for coming back into the team and for his grace in his fight against the Australian pirate. He played by the rules and against heavy odds and triumphed. This is truly a triumph of the human spirit over all odds. Indian cricket has seen nothing like it before. We can all learn from hi
