In my opinion if the players are underperforming then BCCI should not include those players in the playing eleven in the interest of the team. The BCCI should leave the endorsement issues to the companies concerned (the products endorsed). This way if players underperform consistently, they can be left out of the cricket team (by the BCCI) and will lose the endorsements (by the companies) which means that the onus would lie on the players to perform better and keep their place in the team and the endorsements running. Your comments please.

other players' motivation shud be questioned. ganguly played like a match fixer in all the matches in this WC. he played slowly in the match against bermuda too. against bagladesh he was terribly slow. he must be grilled by anti corruption sleuths questioning his intentions. dravid's odi batting average against SA and australia is better than ganguly and sachin both are opeining batsman? but dravid batting in outside india against strong bowling line up is better than ganguly and sachin ganguly was non performing captain for later 3yers of his captaincy but survived in team b'cuz of influence of dalmaiy. ganguly did not deserved to XII man team b'cuz his poor form and pathatic batting but he did not loose captaicny it is unfortuante 2 ex captains are playing petty politics in dressing room with the strong marathi lobby and politicians support sachin and ganguly great players should fight battle on ground no more backstage politics if senior players are not supporting captain why don't blame the individual players dravid played under leaderhsip of sachin and ganguly he gave 100% to team, supported captain and perfomed against all strong teams and won many odis and tests. Why not so called super stars can not reciprocate it He trusted sachin, ganguly bajjik dhoni zahir will support him but was backfired by these senior players How many times did india defeat australia before chappel became the coach. Everytime india meets australia they are thrashed convincingly. Now guys dont say that since john wright was from NZL which is close to australia plotted last world cup's finals defeat. You have to watch india's record outside the sub continent. the same WI team now getting thrashed by everyone in WI had defeated india 4-1 very very convincingly. Thats the quality of india's paper tigers. You can remember only individuals for their contribution but as a team it always fails. How many coaches you blame for that. Chappel is the right person to take on guys like Sachin, Sourav. These are the guys who plotted the indian debacle actually. recent DNA newspaper reported taht some senior players signed ad commeerical contracts till 2010 and nobocy in bcci has guts to remove these players or any action against them

Dear Suman, I am not so sure why the above reply to my comments. Also I am not sure why this regionalistic attitude from you. I think it was a failure of the team as a unit and we must accept it. Talking about Ganguly's performance, one can look at it in two ways: 1. Even if Ganguly scored runs at a slow rate, at least he scored!! unlike most other batsmen. 2. Even if we accept that Ganguly scored at an inappropriate rate, what stopped the others from scoring faster??

ganguly wasted more balls the runs he scored. spent more time increase as per clause of his ad managers/sponsers. created pressure on other batsman by not taking singles, not accelerating runrate , poor running btw wkt, poor fieldigng cost more runs to team. He had bif role in defeat and gifted match to bangladesh. he achieved his goal of humiliating dravid and an early exit means to prove dravid not good captain and ganguly's record not harmed... but there is not gurarantee that ganuly will play next WC he is looser he ditched fellow benagli dalmiaya dravid and sachin also

Have you seen the strike-rate of the other Indian players on that day? Ganguly's stike rate was much better than DRAVID or Sachin. Also check the latest SA Vs Bangladesh match and the strike rate of the big hitters.
India could not even play 50 overs against Bangladesh. Ganguly was playing the anchor role and if he stayed till the end we would have reached 220 at least.
Main problem was the decision of Dravid to bat first and even seeing the condition he could find out what would be a defendable score on that track. Kept on sending note to hit sixes that%u2019s how Ganguly got out.
192 was still defendable if Mr. Know it all Dravid should have showed a better common sense captaincy and asked Munaf to start the bowling. He should have used Sachin /Sehwag / Yuvraj much earlier in the match after seeing the Bangladeshi bowlers. Could have asked for Ganguly%u2019s suggestion instead of going with his own big ego.
First ask the motivation of our captain, he must be grilled by anti corruption sleuths questioning his intentions. How come kept on playing super flop Sehwag on SA tour ? Also how come we kept on playing non-scoring Uthappa for continuous 3 matches in important tournament like WC?
Why we were out of Champions trophy in the first round as well? We had young team, world most successful & intelligent Captain Mr.Rahul Dravid and the best strategist Guru Greg Chappell? Same for the ODIs in SA? We only started wining after Ganguly joined started scoring runs%u2026.

Well Suman I've read most of your messages. They are all either pro-Dravid or anti-Gamguly. There is no point reasoning with you because its just going to be a waste of time. Your opinion is your opinion and facts are facts hopefully someday there would be some connection between the two!!
