India is lot improved in one day matches these days. their winning streak in the last six months is proof to this. Reason for this is the emergence of players like dhoni and pathan. they play positive  and aggresive cricket which is so important in one day cricket.\nAs far as ganguly is concerned he has been out of form for the last two years, and since there are youngsters emerging who are capable of replacing him, there is no point in persisting with ganguly. but if he proves himself again in the domestic circuit, he should be certainly given a chance. after all he is one of the finest cricketers ever to play for india. Remeber when he is on fire no one can match him. just flash back those straight  sixes he used to hit of spin ballers( especially left) and fast ballers. if he returns to that kind of form, no one can stop him from a come back.

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.

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

Friend, you are just like me. Even I like him a lot and he is my all-time favourite player. I always support him. I enjoy his batting to the fullest. When he gets out I feel really sad, but that doesn´t mean that I would say that he isn´t a great player. People may attack him whenever India loses, but I would never do that. In his early years India use to lose a lot of matches. Whenever I heard India won, I could guess it by myself that he must have scored a hundred (100). So I request all his fan to have patients and please support him. He is nearing his end in cricket, he needs our support.\n\nI can sense that my worst day in my life will be on the day he will retire.\n\nI hope that the greatest batsman on the Earth, name as Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, would play few years more than expected.\n\nAll the best Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar - The Little Master, The Little Maestro, The Bombay Bomber!\n\nRawal.

At one time I was the biggest Ganguly baiter in my college group. But now I feel sorry for the guy as the Indian cricket board stoops to new lows everyday to keep Ganguly out of the running for the berth in the Indian team. He may have declined as a batsman over the years but the fire is still burning in Ganguly. He changed Indian cricket forever & as Harsha bhogle said " Indian Cricket lost it's innocence at the Lord's gallery when Ganguly returned the shirtless compliment to Flintoff."\n                            That was one moment that made me feel so proud to be an Indian. It was one of the most nostalgic moments of Indian Cricket , perhaps even more emotional than Kapil Dev holding the World Cup. He brought fire in Indian Cricket, the first captain to look at the Australians in the eye give back some to them. He supported Dravid when Dravid was dropped from the ODI team & now look how Dravid returns the favour, by succumbing to the lust of power.Ganguly was never a great human being  but he was to Indian cricket  what Steve Waugh was toaustralia;Clive Lloyd to WI & Imran Khan to Pakistan & like "WIZKID" pointed out -all of them got befitting farewells while we Indian showed how ungrateful can we get even to our own countrymen.\n His chances of returning to the Indian team are very bleak But the great thing about the man is that he has not lost hope of making a comeback & he has my best wishes for that.

I think he certainly has the pottential to come back if he performs well in domestic cricket. But either Chappel should change his views about Sourav or he should be removed from post of Coach. If any of these two is possible than only Ganguly will be back.

No because they are not but there is no denying that they are pretty much unbeatable at home.  I believe that Australia are the only team to win a test series against india in india.\n\nAustralia are probably still the best team in the world, India, Pakistan and England are good but not good enough.  The Windies are out of it at the moment but I'm sure they will come back.

No. \n\nBut some dude mentioned cricket. I'm sorry but outside of India who cares about cricket? (OK so Australia is big on cricket and so is England, but really.) Funny but I can't find India anywhere near this year's World Cup tournament unless they're there taking notes.  Has India ever qualified for a World Cup Tournament? Do you guys even have a team? Wow! I guess you do! India is currently ranked 117th in the world out of 208 countries.  The only time that India qualified for a World Cup was in 1950--and that's because their scheduled opponents had to withdraw so they qualified by default.  So how did this soccer power dynamo do in the 1950 tournament?  I'm so glad you asked.  Several of their players refused to wear soccer boot/shoes (I guess shoes were not required in their soccer leagues, I don't know.)  So they withdrew from the World Cup.  Talk about sucking! Ooh but watch out for that Indian cricket team, they just beat Sri Lanka, Singapore, Pakistan, and Andorra.  Yes those very bastions of world sports. Yes, those world sports super powers.\n\nAs long as there is no big money to be made in American soccer, it will always lag behind the big three, NFL, NBA, and MLB.  The NHL is not as popular but it's more popular than soccer.  So while the rest of planet Earth waits for the World Cup final on 07/09/2006, most Americans will be counting down the days for the next episode of The Sopranos or American Idol!

Sourav Ganguly has been one of the great batsmen who ever played ODI for India. But no cricketer is beyond question when he is not performing. So was the case with him. Further, he made the conversations within the dressing room public (i.e. he was asked to quit captaincy in Zimbabwe) which was an act of a person who do not have his mind in his control. Lastly, the newcomers i.e. the junior players of the Indian team are performing so well that there is no place for him in the team. Keeping all these things in mind and realising that the coach has a lesser role in team selection than the selectors, Greg cannot be accused of showing injustice to Ganguly.

expectations. You think India are one of the best sides in the world.. they are not.\n\nThey have no balance, a good batting lineup on its day, and no bowling to speak off.\n\nThe players are too flashy, they are too hit or miss.. they either spark and score 300, or don't and get 91. Only Dravid is capable of batting in an ODI match. Who else to India have that can bat? rather than Smash a cricket ball.\n\nLook at Australia - Ponting, Hussey, Clarke, even Symonds (the heart of the Australia order) can bat out 50 overs if needed, or really run up the score, smash to all parts if they need 350.\n\nIndia can't. Once they got into some trouble they folded. No one fought, I did not see the match, but I am guessing that poor shots were played all around, and no one fought for their wicket, they gave it away.

all part of the game... sorry for Yuvi...\nhe played such a great game today... no one else batted well. What the hell happened to dhoni and dravid???\nDhoni will surely go down the rankings this time again.\nThe  bowling was horrible
