Quoting Kiran "In purely one-day cricket terms, Irfan Pathan, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh are all-rounders. Why does he have selective amnesia of not mentioning Ganguly here? That chap has a figure of 5-16 against Pakistan! Is he too cautious now or cannot swallow the fact that sourav is back in the team? But the statement pretty much summarizes his understanding of cricket. Kiran More was a good keeper whom people will remember only for one thing - making miandad jump like a crazy frog.
One intriguing qustion i still have though - it was a personality clash between ganully and chappell and I understand both sides actions / reactions. What baffles me is why Kiran More got involved into it as a dalal of Greg? Any clarification?

The difference is Ganguli acted as dalal to bring a competent coach, but More acted as dalal to drop a competent player.

kiran more should receive capital punishment for having dropped saurav ganguly, he is answerable to the whole nation..its sad that a few people like him, when they are empowered, try to become gods and decide people's fate...from his remarks that the chairman has the final say, its pretty obvious that he was the reason for ganguly being dropped...

Naveen Popli, Ganguly was dropped for right reasons & Kiran more should be applauded for bringing in fresh legs & fresh ideas.

Kiran More brought politics in Indian Cricket, he thinks he is clever but literally is a fool. I was wondering who asked this fool to take control of selection. One of the worst keepers we have ever had....!!

Kiran More was one of the best Wicket-Keepers & Selection Committee Chairman India has ever had. You don't seem to possess any cricketing knowledge at all

It also baffles me, When the board was scouting for a coach and our own Jimmy Amarnath was in the race, what made great Ganguly behave like a Dalal, fly to australia and bring chappel in ......
