All the bhattacharya's, mukherjee's, chodhury's in this forum are right... Ganguly truly is a legend when we play the minnows. His performance against bangladesh and bermuda is a case in point. Scored great half century's in them. They should just make him the captain for the next series against bangladesh, cuz' he'll actually do great against them. He should be played whenever we play all these non-test playing teams and the recently inducted test teams. His 66 runs in 130 balls was the greatest spectacle to watch against such a powerful bowling line up. He was makin up for missin the test series in west indies a year back. Guys, sarcasm aside, if there is anyone to blame apart from the fact that the team failed. It should be sehwag and ganguly. The experienced openers of the Indian team. Ganguly brought the team down with his strike rate. I doubt if there is any instance of any other batsman in the current line up scoring a half century at such a shoddy rate. The openers in the team set the course for the entire teams batting. How can you blind side the slowness with which he 'saved' india's innings. He doesnt have the nous to win a game on his shoulders at his present state... cuz' he's way to materialistic for a team sport.

CLEARLY THAT WAS A OFF DAY FOR GANGULLY ( OR THE PRESSURE FROM THE TEAM MANAGEMENT??) BUT JUST CHECK EXCEPT YUBRAJ WHICH OTHER ESTABLISHED INDIAN BATSMAN HAS BETTER STRIKE RATE THEN GANGULY? SO NOW IT IS PROVEN THAT EVEN AT HIS WORST DAYS HE IS BETTER THAN THE REST...STOP YOUR RECIST NON SENCE AND DON'T TRY TO DISGUISE THE FACTS .... WHICH OTHER INIDAN CAPTAIN WON A SERIES AGAINST AUSTRALIA ? WENT WC FINAL? WON CHAMPIONS TRIPHY? RUNNERS IN CT? .. YOUR FAV MR. DRAVID COULD'T EVEN WIN B'DESH WHY SHOULD WE MAKE HIM CAPTIAN AT ALL?
