Yes, 100% politics... When Dalmiya was supreme power of BCCI, the east zone gets importance and the team was in pocket of Ganguly.. But now When Sharad pawar is Supreme, the west zone is having its say in almost every aspect of BCCI... Their players are getting into the team.. Mr. Kiran More is having sum unfinished business wd Ganguly and he is the main reason behind ganguly not Selected.. Kiran more we all know how gud player he was.... and i feel should not even be in selection committee.. but unfortunately he is the chairman of selection committee.... badluck for indian cricket.... the greatest ever captain of india doesn't deserve this kind of treat at this stage of his career....\n\nI hope that ganguly be back in team and plays sum extra good cricket for india to shut Kiran More's Mouth......

You know how the pitches are in subcontinent. Then the conditions were same for both of them. If it was only one match for india to win or loose it was same for the other side as well. And on the same pitch on which india couldn't face the paki spell pakis piled up a lot of runs.\nThink in an unbiased manner friend!! Its sports not politics.

yeah u can say this defetes are shameless defetes.last 4 series India didnt play well. dravid is oki. he tried with this team to win. but this team is not perfect. young players played well in some matches. but now this is proved that they r not prepared to play in this highest lavel of cricket. team selectors have to think more about the young players. they need to bring back players like Shourav Ganguly, Laxman, Nehra. Chappal should resign. He isnt the perfect man for India. He is a gud coach. But he is not appropriate for this team. His methods r unique but not useful. So kick him out. Vensarkar & pawar has to attend this matter. Dont go for money, think for ur team. Dont do POLITICS with Indian Cricket.

I do not think Sourav ganguly will get a place in the Indian team again, because of the politics, worst than Indian politics. Further he is already 35 years old and his cricket playing years are numbered. So selectors will not consider him any more. He has also made lot of money in Cricket and should be satisfied and retire for looking after his business.

It is the BCCI which is responsible for this state of affairs. It is not an abrupt happening. It is the culmination of the wrong doings of the BCCI and its committe (the selection). What the coach has to do. You have no fast tracks in the country. You prepare only slow flat pitches wherein people score a lot of runs without much ado. \n\nGood players were not selected by More (Most biased selector) and Vengesarkar is in the same boat. How the team would perform?\n\nWhy the Australians perform consistently on any type of surface, against any country and in any country? The simple reason is that they have all type of surfaces to practice on. They are masters in the pull shot which is the only shot (except hook) you can play against rising deliveries. Indian batsmen do not play that shot and when someone tries, he is caught at short mid wicket or square leg. See how Dravid perishs at short mid-wicket and Tendulkar perished at square leg. Each and every player of Australia is very good at the pull shot, Hayden, Langer, Ponting, Gilchrist, Martyn, Symonds, Clarke, Hussey, etc. Any player! Besides that Australian players are taller than Indian batsmen and are at an advantage.\nWhy Yuvraj and Laxman are successful against fast bowlers and on bouncy foreign pitches? Because they are tall and are good at pull shots.\n\nMy only contention is that BCCI should intervene and take decisions:\n\n1. Prepare fast and bouncy pitches (Seek the help of foreign curators from Australia or South Africa)\n2. Select Batsmen only on merit who have all the shots in his armoury\n3. Forget zone-bias\n4. Disallow all the team members in shooting for adds before any series (1 month period)\n5. Check for fitness level of all players throughout the year and the Physician should prepare guidelines for each and every player to follow\n6. Prepare a team of experts (Former players, coaches with defined responsibility) who would exclusively monitor the technique of the batsmen and bowlers and analyse, improve the flaws. \n7. Select promising youngesters from all parts of the country and provide them coaching and other amenities to develop (Do not trust academies like that of More)\n\nThis is my exhaustive analysis. I believe in preventive action and not in correction. BCCI is only doing "post mortem" which becomes useless.\n\nI am deeply hurt that players like Sehwag, Tendulkar and Dravid are playing like school boys and getting frustrated. A cricket player and fan to core like me, no longer watches Indian matches. \n\nNow in the present situation, with World cup round the corner, BCCI should select atleast three players for the world cup: Gautum Gambhir, VVS Laxman and Saurav Ganguly.\n\nMind it the selection of Captain should be reviewed. The way Dravid let the opportunity slip even when SA were 76/6, tells the story that he is strategically poor and not able to make decisions. Let him be happy with his batting and only batting.

EVERYTHING HAPPENED AS PRE-PLANNED.\n\nAS SOON AS I FIND VENUGOPAL RAO IN THE PLAYING 11, I DID BET WITH MY FELLO TRUCKERS "INDIA GOING TO LOOSE"\n\nTHEY DIDN'T AGREE.THOUGH SEHWAG BLASTING AND INDIA AQUIRE 200 ODD RUNS, MORE DRIVERS BET ME AGAINST WINDIES.\n\nATLAST, I WON 50+ LITRES OF DIESEL TO MY TRUCK.\nI DIDN'T REVEAL THE SECRET TO THEM.\n\nYOU ARE ALL MY FRIENDS..I TELL THE SECRET TO YOU.\n\nYOU CAN'T FIND MURALI KARTHIK AND VENUGOPAL RAO IN A WINNING SQUAD.

It is not the real representation.\n\nThere are geneous in INDIA, who can defeat atleast 85% of CRICKET teams in the world. \n\nThey are not selected due the reason known to god.

GOOD QUESTION.\n\nTHE PEOPLE WHO COULD INFLUENCE THE BCCI DO THAT.THEY HAVE MOSTLY POLITICAL SUPPORT.\nTHEY POST THEIR FAVOURITES AS SELECTORS.\nTHE SELECTORS CHOOSE THEIR FAVOURITES AS PLAYERS.\n\nAND INDIAN CRICKET START TO CONTAMINATED THERE.

ganguly is strange case
2203
It is not that he should be played out of cumpulsions of politics but he should be given another chance to prove himself.\n\n  This will bring up the morale and reduce mental pressure of freshes and newbies.\n  we should not forget that once sourav was a great left hand batsmen .It is also true that his consistently showing poor performance .

I wld look into the scams done by previous ppl who held d office and punish them, bring back ganguly and set up a new selection committee which is more efficient and stringent on performance..

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.

I DONT KNOW HOW THE FOOT BALL PLATERS PICKED.\n\nIN CRICKET, \n\nSELECTORS ARE FORMER FAILURES.\nSOME OF THEM NEVER PLAYED A INTERNATIONAL MATCH.\n\nBCCI PRESIDENT HAS NO HISTORY TO HAVE A DAY LONG GROUND PRESENCE.\n\nSTILL THEY ARE RULING THE CRICKET EMPIRE.\n\nCOZ, THEY HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO SHUT THE SHOUTERS.\n\nFANS TOO NEVER WORRYING ABOUT THESE THINGS.

Another Ganguly Question.. lol\n\nBecasue he is the PAST of Indian Cricket now. He is better off playing County Cricket.

HE MESSED-UP ALMOST EVERYTHING.\n\nHE DREAMT HE IS THE CAPTAIN FOREVER.\n\nWHEN DALMIYA LOST THE REGIME, GANGULY MISSED HIS SPOT AS A SIDE-EFFECT.

Because he was given many chances in the previous tournaments and he could not deliver.More importantly there are better and younger players who have a very positive attitude waiting to join the team and they cannot be kept waiting for a long time.Besides I fail to understand why such a big issue is being made out of one players ouster.Is Ganguly some God that he cannot be dropped from the team.Why don't we just let the selectors do their job instead of pressurising them by blowing this issue out of proportion.
