There is a general feeling that senior player are not performing and that they should be dropped, and that chance should be given to new players. This is basically a wrong nation. The failure of all players senior or junior except Saurav Ganguly is a testimony to the fact that all the players lost their focus. In a game of cricket it is a question of right mindset after all. That all other players including Sachin Sehwag etc lost their focus is due to the fact that the Captin and the coach failed to motivate the team. The man who fought a lone losing battle is none other than Ganguly. While the departure of Chappel is an welcome chage for the Indian team, reinduction of Saurav is also urgently required. Only Ganguly can lead India to bring back its lost glory. He is a great motivator and he can bring emotion and team spirit in the game which is now lacking badly. This genius will not be there for more than two years. It is time to reorganise the team and groom the future captain under his leadership. Tomorrow would be too late. Greetings for the Bengali New Year to all dear readers. thanks.

You Bengalis how parochial you can be?. Where was ganguly when India lost to Bangladesh and Sri lanka. He was made the openeras was his rightful position. What about Tendulkar? Why he alone had to bat lower down? Even then Ganguly did not play to see that India win the match. What is the point in telling he was the lone fighter. If you see the scores, Dravid also was a lone fighter. The blame for India's exit ahould go to all and no one should be spared. Ganguly's days are over. He was not removed from team for any reason other than his successive failures before he was replaced with Dravid. The credit for India's victories under Ganguly's captaincy should go to John Wright the coach and the support given by other players including Dravid, Tendulakr, laxaman and others. For heaven's sake stop this parochialism which only is killing Indian cricket.

Hehe.
I think Bongs in general are a rather smart lot. Not this Sengupta fellow, though. He's got that very undesirable mixture of prejudice & Internet savviness, which allows him to post this vitriol on the net.
