Why should he? it has to be understood that cricket is a gentleman's game and be it the coach, captain, player or anyone in the team for that matter should keep the discussions happening in a team room with in that room and not go public about it. And mainly the coach should always back his players and share a good rapport  with the capatin as they play a big role in the teams performance on the field and off the field as well. So if an apology is needed then it must be from both of them and not just Ganguly.\n\nAs for ganguly to retire it is totally uncalled for, understand he was running through a bad form, but everyone has and are to go through a lean period, so that should not be an issue for his retirement.\n\none should not forget the amount of support he gave to youngsters like Yuavraj, harbajan, raina and many for that matter, and he was the most aggressive Captain INDIA has ever got, which is what made him the most sucessful capatin and won INDIA many matches abroad.

I cant agree with CONFIRM_2.\nGanguly also tied-up with Hero-Honda, Britannia and as well as Pepsi.\nthe asker want to know "Was Ganguly in form or not? Did he scored respectable runs or not?".\nThe answer is 'No'.\nEven ganguly not interested in domestic matches because of his poor form.If a new bowler of a state get him out, the controversy might go even worse.so he avoided the domestic matches.\nHe messed-up in all things like practice, team meetings, personal conversations with the coach, interacting with team members etc.\nWe still respect him for his tremendous service to nation.\nBut, with his poor form, he will be a burden to the team.

YES. NOT ONLY THEY DID JUSTICE, BUT ALSO GOOD FOR GANGULY'S HEALTH.\nNOW A DAYS DADA STRUGGLING TO SIGHT THE BALL.\nSELECTORS DENIED THE CHANCE OF INJURY WHICH CAN OCCUR FROM WINDIES AWESOME PACE ATTACK.

Yes it is a nice pair. Or else Sehwag and Ganguly.\n\nWe are fortunate to see once again the flowing, exquisite cover drives from Ganguly.\n\nWatch out Greg/Vengserkar/Kiran More.

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.

I THINK THE 'GANGULY SUPPORTERS' WELCOMING THE DEFEAT.\n\nALSO THEY ARE THE HAPPIEST PERSON IN EARTH NOW.\n\nLET ME DE-FUSE YOU.\n\nWE WONT SUPPORT GANGULY FOR THIS ONLY REASON(YOUR HAPPINESS).

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.

It is absolutely not a good way. He was humiliated by Kiran More and the other members of the team management. Its shameful how politics affects cricket in India. Sourav Ganguly is the poor victim of the whole political drama. Im not saying he is 100% innocent but it was still unjust to remove him like that.

i think it is easier to speak out of boundary..\nplease do consider the fact that ganguly is out of team not of bad form but of the fact that he brings politics into the team.. and if you think nehra et al are out of team for supporting ganguly.. than sachin also supported ganguly.. but he is in the team..\n\ndont occupy your mind with meshy things about a coach as professional as chappel.. \n\nyou can see the yesterday's win over pakistan.. hats off to chappel

now this a question to ponder about.according to me at  the present senario dravid is the best captain of the indian team bcze he leads the team from the front and always plays a captains innings when the team requires. now if the team doesnt perform well then god also cannt help our team, let alone dravid.as far ganguly is concerned atfirst let him make his way to the playing 11 then we can take him as the captain. as he is more enthusiastic and motivative which our team requires dearly.

Goodbye Ganguly \n\nas India selectors vote for youth\n\nNEW DELHI (Reuters) - India's selectors turned the page on Saurav Ganguly's international career on Thursday when they banked on youth for the first test against England, with an eye on next year's World Cup and beyond

yes ganguly should join the team jus a few tournaments before the world cup so that he could get match practice and be in roaring form for the world cup.They are keeping him out of the team so that he will react like how a wounded tiger will react when it is hurt.So Ganguly will react aggressively and ferosioucly by means of his cricket.He's already showing signs by hitting a century in an east zone match.His bowling has always been good since he's been bowling in the duleep trophy

No on forgot about ganguly. Its just that indian cricket board are ingnoring him and not letting him play cause he kinda tried to dictate the management and the team.

Yes, I think so. He has been playing for so long so I think it is fine now that he is not that good. But hmm..he has indeed lost that aura, I think Ricky has it now. The poor fella has been plagued with injuries and also the Inian fans booing him recently at his homeground was a poor way of showing respect to one of the best batsmen in the world.
