HE  SIGNED WITH ENGLISH COUNTY TEAM.\nHIS PERFORMANCE WILL BE WATCHED SHARPLY BY SELECTORS.\n\nIF THE TEAM INDIA PERFORMED POOR IN WINDIES, GANGULY'S CHANCES ARE MORE TO BACK IN INDIAN TEAM.

I think he was good once upon a time. There after he stopped performing. The worst thing he did was the fact that he ended up involving the politiciuans after he was taken off the team. If I was in his place, I would have focussed on the perfomance in local tourneys. Those who want to equate virender sehvags performance with ganguli, drop it coz sehvag performs very well in overseas pitches. He failed only in 1 tewst match in pakistan, and redeemed himself in dubai

Are u the same person who showed the poster "I love U" to zaheer in the stadium? \n\nHe was playing in duleep trophy west zone and was bowling against ganguly and sent him for duck and ruined ganguly's chance of come back. But zaheer was not able to impress the selectors with that wicket.\n\nYou have bad news after his continous injuries his place was tried by agarkar, VRV Singh, RP singh. No one was able to perform well. But unfortunately in last match sreesanth has taken 6 wickets and taken his spot.\n\nSo zaheer,balaji, Ganguly all are now in the same state now.

I never try to put people down but you have forced me to do so. How can you ask a moronic question like this? This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. Dravid is one of the most respectable cricketers around and he is a good captain.\n\nAre you still sulking about Ganguly's omission. Are you jealous that Dravid may achieve a better win/loss record that Ganguly? Ganguly had his glorious time, and it's not good to stretch it beyond than that. It would have only resulted in humiliation.

By all means,Zaheer Khan should be back in the Indian team.The squad should be as follows \n\nOne-Dayers:\nSehwag[vice-captain],Sachin,Dravid[captain],Ganguly,Yuvraj,Kaif,Dhoni,Kumble,Harbhajan,Pathan,Zaheer,Sreesanth,Aashish Nehra,Munaf,Raina,Lakshman.\nThe above squad can be retained for the tests also.\n\nIt is unfair deal for Ganguly,Lakshman & Kumble.They should not have been dropped for the one-day squad in the recent past.Ganguly is a world class player & has a enviable record in the one-dayer,he is only next to Sachin considering the no of centuries in the one dayers.Laksman's performance was great in the one dayers.The selectors should feel ashamed to drop the player like Kumble[hope everyone know the reason].I also feel bad for Zaheer Khan who has lost his place in both the forms of the game.He was a wonderful strike bowler with Pathan,has played an excellent role in the Ranji matches in India in the recent past & is playing very well for the English county Worcestershire.I want Agarkar & Powar to be not just removed but kicked out of the Indian squad & Zaheer & Kumble can take their places.The above squad should be retained for all the matches[away & home] till the players retire. \n      By considering all these,I feel very bad for the selectors who have & will be selecting the Indian team.

Friend,\nIndian team is doing good and they should keep this continue. But if some one look into the managment part and try to do some thing better in that then automatically the team will become much better then present. There should not be any politices.  Some great losses beared by indian team in near past due to this mis-managment which should be avoided. The future of the indian team is very good.

The reason behind it is very simple. when you talk in terms of captaincy everyone cannot be an ace skipper. Talent and experience are important, no doubt, but you need to have a shrewd brain alongwith the ability to command respect amongst your team members. One needs to be able to instill discipline, confidence and the winning spirit in the team. It is not so much as what goes on, on the field but rather off it.\nThat is why an ace cricketer like Sachin failed in this department whereas Hansie Cronje who was at best an above average batsmen remains one of the greatest captain in the history of this game.\n\nAnil is a champ no doubt but this relatively quiet, sober, subdued gentleman may not have been able to infuse the winning spirit like Ganguly or the thirst to never give up like Kapil Dev.

Yes Chappel did a very good job by throwing Ganguly out of the team.\nNo Ganguly does not deserves a spot in the team.

I TOO LOVE GANGULY.\nHIS OLD TIME ELEGANCE, HIS MIGHTY SIXES, HIS AWESOME BATTING.\nBUT HE IS OUT OF FORM.\nEVERY CRICKETER MUST FACE THE SITUATION.\nWE HAVE TO ACCEPT THAT.\nCOZ, NATION'S PRIDE IS IMPORTANT.

I was going through some of the other answers submitted earlier and found them to be fairly rib tickling. Hats off to those ladies / gentlemen for their great sense of (black) humour. \nAs BCCI is under contractual obligation to retain Chappell till World Cup 2007, he can not be removed prior to that. Though his removal would be in order for the sake of better performance. BCCI can at least put his acts under a scanner and not let him have free rein. Some of his recent decisions not only appeared inexplicable to many but plain stupid and devoid of any cricketing sense.\nPlayers who can both bat and bowl reasonably well should be given a chance, though not at the expense of successful specialists. Australia has shown the invaluable contribution of such players in the side.\nFielding has improved, but is still nowhere near world standards. More and more players are finding themselves on the injury list. Wonder, what our imported fielding and fitness specialists are doing out there! \nA bowling coach is most urgently required for plugging the gaping holes in the Indian team. Pathan spearheads the side's bowling attack. He or any other strike bowler must not be burdened with the additional responsibility of batting at number three, except in exceptional circumstances.\nSachin has been a consistent non performer in recent times. If he fails in the West Indies and the other fixtures scheduled before the World Cup, it would be sensible to drop him from the World Cup bound squad, however audacious the idea might appear. BCCI can hardly be expected to be that bold, though.\nThe side is full of new comers and youngsters, who arrived to constitute the next gen team. Sadly, many of them have not performed upto expectations. The objective right now is winning the cup and not experimenting with a view to building the future team. Tried and tested veterans should be included in place of non performing youngsters. The never-say-die Laxman boasts of a good domestic performance. And the doughty Ganguly, India's most successful skipper ever and one of the side's most prolific scorers in the past, is showing signs of a turn around and return to form, with a well scored century in the Duleep Trophy. BCCI should seriously think of including them in order to enrich the team with such highly experienced performing campaigners. Of course Chappell and Dravid will have to swallow their pride for that.

vadlu.. ganguly has not been performing for quite some time now.. he NEEDED to be dropped. this will motivate (in a way) him to perform better the next time he plays.. which will be pretty soon.
