RE:How ganguly Made India Loose the World Cup

To answer your question on why Ganguly was batting slowly. Because our Captain Dravid couldn't read the pitch properly and opted to bat first whereas this pitch was going to help bowlers. I agree that he was playing slow but how about other players like Dravid himself, Sachin, Sehwag couldn't even stay at the wicket.
Dravid is a good batsman, let him just do that in the team. Let us make Anil Kumble our test team Captain, India's best test bowler.
It was a total team collapse and Dravid is more responsible for this than anybody else.
Mr Chaudhary,haven't you gone through the news?It was a collective decision forced on dravid by the stubborn seniors led by ganguly to bat first so that they get some match practise. How come you bengalis all of a sudden are in for a south indian Kumble for captaincy when it was your dada who deprived Kumble of what he deserved?-the result-an arrogant&useless Harbhajan!!!

Karan,
First of all I am not a Bengali. FYI, Chaudhary last name can be found through out world. I am a North Indian.
Going back to Dravid, this guy cannot think outside the box. Against BL, he brought Sehwag around 40th over, Tendulkar hardly got to bowl. He couldn't even remember that BDeshi spinners were troubling Indians.
Then against SL, he persisted with Tendulkar for 8 overs. He didn't change his bowlers quick enough when they were going for runs or were easy to play. Then in this crucial game, Kumble didn't get to play. Bhajji is predictable and playable, he shouldn't have been playing in the last game against SL.
I will still insist to make Kumble our test captain.

You are convincing yourself.Ganguly is the best capatin that India can ever produce.I am not a Bengali,yet I feel Ganguly is still able to take India to a new height.I see you are biased.You are giving irrelevant stat.You do not need to be a Bengali to like Ganguly.On the other hand it is not neccessory that every non-Bengali will have to hate Ganguly. If you are frustated then go and take a dip but do not bother us being the regional hooker.By the way have you read about Indian Independence.That movement was not very global though.It was concentrated in Maharastra,Bengala,Punjab, Gujarat and some parts of Southern India.Ask your parents or grandparents about that.

Sare Jahaan se Accha Hindustan Hamara, Hum bulbule is iski, yeh gulsitan hamara. for a small team of cricketers and their loss in the world cup, a whole bunch of us become as a roudy and ignorant and arrogant, an arguement which concerns no one of you at all, and an arguement does not win at all, let us collectively get our heads and brain and mind thinking together for the welfare of our Mother India. I love my country and her children. Better sense will always prevail.

Mr Gaurav, It is becoz of ganguly's performance Dravid could manage to win a test in South Africa. It was ganguly who was the highest scorer for India in the world cup and it was also ganguly who won the man of the match series aganist Sri Lanka and West Indies, so it only becoz of the contribution of Ganguly Dravid managed to win home one day series before the world cups. Learn to respect the people who perform for India, have some justification in ur comments.

Mr Bardhan!First get your facts right before you put up your argument!Do you have any proper knowledge of freedom struggle,Tippu Sultan,mysore ruler led his forces against british.The Angrez started English East India company to mark their arrival to India,not South India company. Out of form &selfish Ganguly can never take India to a WC final singlehandedly.If he can do so,why can't he take the responsibility of India's loss on his sole shoulders,why he has to share the defeats alone with the team?Veggie Southies hold more than decent share in Indian bureaucracy,this rediff space will insufficient to list their names! Next,get your geography right!The coastal area of whole of WB is not even 1/4th of that when compared to what is shared by SouthIndia as a whole!!! Great you seem to know at least Rajnikant.Do you have any better ideas of the movies made in the South,or the amount of actors/directors nominated for National Awards. Why are you so concerned about Rahul ancestors,it seems like your Ganguly's forefathers were the loyal servants of their mighty british! Were you unaware of the fact it it was your traitor Bong brothers,the Bangladeshis who had taken the side of Pakistan against India-so don't you think its high time that the east&west Bengal form a unified Bangladesh and take your independence from India,afterall losing one insignificant state shouldn't be as big a problem as losing 4 states! And finally,for God's sake don't join hands with the Punjabis,leave them alone.For a Bengali is like a frog in a well,he thinks Bengal is the universe:(

I totally agree. My Ganguly has done nothing to suggest he was playing for the team. and what happens when he returns, bengalis give him a warm welcome. what a bluddy joke!!!! there is a limit to regionalistic pride. maybe bengalis wanted bangladesh to qualify. after all they speak the same language dont they ?

Mr Manoj As I said before,Frog in the well-Bengalis can't see anything beyond Bengal. Ganguly-paper tiger against minnows&rat against first grade team. Needs support from Tendulkar,Dravid or a certain Laxman to win against the Aussies,WI,SA,Eng.,NZ,but against minnows-he'll say MAIN HOON NA-has the distinct capability to handle things singlehandedly! Would you please mind taking your valuable time to check out how India drew the series against the Aussies,you think it was because of Ganguly whose shivers at the site of Mcgrath or even any medium pacers for that matter.After playing for so many years the fool still can't face short pitch deliveries! You are east Indians,don't try to take pride calling yourself NorthIndian as it a well known fact all over the contry that no other state members are as regionally biased as a bengali. Can you recollect how many balls that fool waisted for his personal gain???don't just talk about average,what is his strike rate?? Its an obvious &well known fact that the cunning fox is indulged in big time groupism,just wait&watch. Nobody is scared of Rahul's ouster from captaincy,but you guys seem to be restless&scared of your DADA's ouster from the team itself-the sooner the better-its high time we threw that ghandhi MACHLI out.!
