Hi Subhu, Good. the first two might be correct. The Man of the series is going to be sachin once again. And Ganguly will be a total floop because right now he is playing negative cricket which is going to cause india badly. Dravid should immly wake up in this regard and replace saurav with irfan or karthick in order to save your first two predictions.

Well said by you Mr. Datar. If Ganguly was out at 2 just like Sehwag (against Bangladesh) then Sachin and Dravids' scores would have been 7 and 14 and not 57 and 7. Try to understand this and cheers for Ganguly. //////

Dear Ankush, Cricket is highly an unpredictable game. there are good and bad days. And India had an unfortunately a bad day that any of these (sehwag, sachin, dravid & dhoni) could not stay there for longer time. But saurav had a good day on that day. remember he faced about 130 balls for his meek 60 odd runs. But sachin, dravid, dhoni or sehwag had that chance of playing atleast 75 balls they would have definitely crossed 100 runs. Frankly gangu was too defensive from the begining. He slowed down the run rate. if one or two wickets fall, it does not mean that you should stay away from scoring runs. It was his negative cricket which upset the whole batting order. similarly, in the second match also he started to be very defensive. what for you tend to be very defensive when you are forced to make a huge score for the survival of the team? Remember sehwag also too defensive at starting of his innings. dhoni, sachin, yuvaraj also the same for that matter. But being there at the crease you need to take the resposiblity to score faster in order to install confidence to the new batsman who arrive at the crease during a wicket' fall. I am sure that gangu is aware of this fact. He started accelerating in the second only after yuvaraj started going big and india reaching a good winning score. and immely he got out also. If you have not watched gangu in this angle yet, pl watch his next game. he is definitly not playing for the team now. I am really aware of ganguly's skills and he comes down the pitch against spinners, it could not be anything less than six. But i do not need to say how many balls he could touch coming down the crease the last two matches. And he got out at coming down the pitch. He indeed gifted his wicket in the bangladesh match when it was needed the most. Pl. do not get annoyed with my comments. But this is the truth and i know that it is difficult to accept also.

If tendulkar or dravid was out there with shewag will they hit fous and sixes each ball they face.....they came at the last and did what they were actually asked to do...........do u want everyone to smash sixes and fours everyball (we are not playing base ball)......if ganguly is laying for himself wat about sehwag was he playing for the country if yes what he was doing for the past 2 years.....

If you can do this please subtract ganguly individual score from the total on all the matches after his comeback and check how much is the total score we have in all the matches.If due to ganguly other batsman were pressurised wat did dhoni and tendulkar did the other day with bangaldesh( r they were playing as such they were playing during pressurised situation)

Ganguly's contribution is clearly visible. In the first match against Bangladesh, he created lot of pressure on the other partner simply by being defensive. His short selection were very poor and wasted lot many balls. Atleast he should have rotated the strike to ease of the pressure.In the last match also the same was clearly visible.The real culprit is Ganguly. He is Playing for SELF(SELFISH GAME).

After coming back , he is only consistent , play innings according to need, in pitches like west indies , if u wan,t to accelerate the innings with ur undue effort u simply throw wicket that was exactly what happend against bangla, If u lose early wkt team will be pressurized not by slow runrate . see the other matches strategy will be clear. truth is that u r against gang mr wilson. so u r not seeing the flaw of other players including dravid , if all were pressurized by slow run rate then how yuvi built the partnership. I HAVE A SUGGESTION, LET GANG BE OUT EARLY IN SRTILANKA MATCH, AUTOMATICALLY GREAT SEHEVAG,UTHAPPA THROW WKTS , AND SEE HOW INDIA WINS UNDER THAT SITUATION THEN DON,T SAY GANG THROW WKT BY AN IRRERSPONSIBLE SHOT SO INDIA LOSE. WHY U ALWAYS ATTACK A PARTICULAR PLAYER , CRICKET IS A GAME OF 11 SEE THAT iST
