I have always admired Saurav for his cricketing skills and was really hurt when he dropped in an insulting way... But...
I was surprised at the kind of reception Saurav Ganguly was given and also that he accepted it... Was he not a member of the Indian cricket team that performed so horribly in WI... Did he not represent India? Did he represent a particular state? Did he give any match winning performance there? What was the celebration about !!!!! Is Saurav not ashamed? Are his fans not sorry at Indian teams' (including Saurav's) dismal performance in the west indies?

AUSTRALIANS R FREE AND FRANK.THOSE PLAYERS WHO DONOT PERFORM THEY QUIT .U can find examles like waugh brothers,damien martin,michael bevan etc.But indian peoples are idiots they see only records.In last 3 years Tendulkar has shown no ability in playing under pressure.he has bad records batting in second innings.Tendulkar ang Ganguly when reach the score of 90 consumes large no of balls to reach 100 for personal record only . ganguly to team mein jaga rakhne ke liye khelata hai.It was the main reason why other got out cheaply.(pressure created by ganguly).agar woh captain hota to kabhibi 130 ball mein 60 nahi banata

Only the headline mentioned that Saurav for a warm reception... It was intentionally presented that way to get high viewership for the news clip.... The text of the news item as well as the picture describe his uneventful entry into the city - no crowds no applause. IMHO Saurav, Yuvraj and Sehwag among batsmen played well in patches, and couldn't raise their game when a collective effort was needed most. So apart from bad coaching, uninspiring captaincy, it was also bad team effort by each participating player, including Saurav.

Ganguly is the most selfish person is a known fact. So whats there to debate about it? These guys will rule the roost for another 3 years....mark my words another 3 - 4 years. By the way a small stat on our superstars. Tendulkar's record speaks for itself : Sachin Tendulkar since Sept 2005 against Australia and SA in one day matches Innings : 11 Runs : 155 Average : 14.09 100s/50s : 0/1
No other team in the world would pick him on the above performance but for India he is "Master Blaster". BTW what has be blasted recently ?
As far as Ganguly is concerned, he could not even match Tendulkar''s number....and WOW we have countrymen defending these two and giving excuses for them.
