Ganguly hits bigger sixes than me or Dhoni: Yuvraj\nSunit Kaul (HindustanTimes.com)\nNew Delhi, April 24, 2006\n\nOne look at Yuvraj Singh and you know he's naturally destined to be a swashbuckler. \n\nTall and lanky and so full of exuberance, the 18-year old was blooded into international arena as a maverick teenager who would first leap before looking.\n\nEven though he soon etched his space with his astonishing ability to wield the willow, a spate of inconsistent performances saw him being embarrassingly dropped from the ODI team.\n\nBut that was not the end of the story.\nHe came back with vengeance and consequently showed the world that he could strike the ball with finesse and power - invariably with a straight bat - and at the same time can take on the mantle of a senior player.\n\nHe has now repeatedly achieved what is termed by mediocres and average players beyond the bounds of possibility. At 24, his coming of age typifies India's assuredness.\n\nIn a candid chat with HindustanTimes.com in the backdrop of him being presented a Ford Fiesta for being the Man-of-the-series against South Africa, the gifted left-hander from Chandigarh gave his views on his recent performance and the road ahead.\n\nYuvraj, your performance in this season has been terrific. What has been the key difference this time?\nI've been in good touch for the past one year. Earlier, I used to think too much while batting out there in the middle. I think, I read situations better now.\n\nYou are really stealing all the prizes. 3 Man-of-the-series in 4 tournaments…\nObviously, as a senior player, you tend to take up more responsibility and if you're in-form, it helps the team as a whole.\n\nWhat has been the defining moment of your career up till now? When you would have said to yourself - 'This is it, I belong here'\nI think, playing in those two matches against Sri Lanka last year gave me the confidence that I belong to international level.\n\nDhoni in a recent interview said that sportsmen other than cricketers are not getting their due. What's your take?\nI agree with Dhoni. Maybe he's saying it because he has just come in the team. But, that's how it is here in India.\n\nDo you see yourself as the captain of Team India in the future?\nEvery player who spends a reasonable amount of time at international level dreams of making it big. Same is the case with me.\n\nMaybe 5 years down the line, we'll see you as the skipper?\n(Laughs) I would be old in 5 years time!\n\nWho has been a better coach - Greg Chappell or John Wright?\nThey both have different styles of functioning; Both have been equally good.\n\nSo how come the team has been performing better in Chappell's tenure?\nThe difference has been the increased level of fitness. Greg has brought in more innovative ideas towards fitness.\n\nThere has been quite a controversy regarding the tight cricketing calendar? What's your take?\nI think we're out there to play in the sun and we have to enjoy every moment we play for the team.\n\nWhat are your plans towards the upcoming Windies tour?\nRight now, we've got a bit of a break. And we're keen to enjoy our time-out… But we will be fully focused when we reach there. West Indies would a proper training ground before the World Cup. We will have to prepare ourselves for more bouncy tracks.\n\nFinally, who hits bigger sixes - you or Dhoni?\n(Grins) I think Ganguly hits bigger sixes than me and Dhoni!

In terms of skill i admire Arjun Halappa the most as he as the ability to pierce any defence.Gagan ajit  is also a good player. Arjun is also known for his gentleness off and on the field.But in concern with glamour Tushar Khandekar is awesome.

----------------\nODI World XI\n----------------\n1.  Adam Gilchrist\n2.  Sachin Tendulkar\n3.  Stephen Fleming (c)\n4.  Rahul Dravid\n5.  Michael Hussey\n6.  MS Dhoni (wk)\n7.  Andrew Flintoff\n8.  Irfan Pathan\n9.  Shane Warne\n10. Shane Bond\n11. Glenn McGrath\n\n-----------------\nTest World XI\n-----------------\n1.  Matthew Hayden\n2.  Michael Hussey\n3.  Ricky Ponting\n4.  Michael Vaughan\n5.  Rahul Dravid (c)\n6.  Andrew Flintoff\n7.  Adam Gilchrist (wk)\n8.  Shane Warne\n9.  Shane Bond\n10. Makhaya Ntini\n11. Glenn McGrath\n\nIt should be evident from the Super Series that players shouldn't just be picked on star-value, but also grit, mental strength, consistency, and current form.\n\nODI team: It has 5 specialtist bowlers, besides Tendulkar and Hussey can bowl part-time if neeed. Flintoff and Pathan also add depth to the batting line-up. I have included both Dhoni and Gilchrist because they are just too good to be left out. Dhoni's current batting form is far better than stars like Lara and Inzamam. Besides, he's young and at his prime.\n\nTest team: I have included 5 specialist bowlers: McGrath, Ntini, Bond, Flintoff, and Warne. The batting lineup is quite strong with Gilchrist batting at number 7. \n\nStardom is not the criteria for selection here. The players are selected on the basis of their temprament, commitment, consistency, teamwork, and current form: something that separates good teams from the others.

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.

It is easy to lead a well balanced team than leading a team which experienced continous failure.\n\nGanguly lead the team in most difficult situations when india was continouly experiencing defeats, and india got India's first away from home in 11 years when won against pakistan. \nWe cannot forget the way he improve the spirts of the team by removing his shirt and took india to the worldcup final.\nGanguly was considered as most successful captain ever indian team has seen in the last decade. \nThis sucess made him arrogant and made him a spectator now. \n\nDravid is kid who has got a good start as they played against bad teams. It too early to say dravid as good captian. Once he proves that in the forth coming world cup atleast by reaching the finals we can consider him  is as a better captain.\nUntil then it is only Saurav Ganguly is better than this new Dravid.

Well Aswin, I will say INDIA bcoz,\n\nIndian team is an international cricket team which represents INDIA governed by BCCI.It started in ENGLAND as a test cricket before many years.In the starting INDIA played well.But in the middle,they struggled a lot by giving the reasons that bowling is not good,pitch is not good,batting is not good....Now-a-days,INDIA is doing well in home as well as outside.Our top batting order is very strong.Current status of Indian cricket is very good. Now the dependency of the team on Sachin has reduced. Every player is equally participating in the victory of the team from top order to a middle order to number 11 player.Now we are winning many matches by building good partnership.Before,we lacked consistency much.If one player falls,all falls immediately.But now we have developed that.We are also able to be consistent.Bowlers are also doing great.Our current status is shown by the cricket ratings.Still we can develop a lot if we does not bring cricket as a politics(which goes on the underneath of the selection procedure.).Coach Greg Chappel has played a vital role in changing the face of Indian cricket team.They work hard to bring their talents out.. Our indian team does its best in every test and moreover they are managed by good team captain and the coach.Captainship under rahul dravid is simply awesome as it can b seen frm de way de team had performed all these days!!greg chappel is shaping a perfect combination in indian cricket team with mix of youth and experience.Although the team needs to improve on some fronts chappel is sure to raise the team to heights that were unknown to many indian fans.The present bunch has everything to make a world cup winner!!!

MORE THAN SATISFACTORY.\n\nSTARTED HIS ASSIGNMENT WITH SHOCK TREATMENT..\n\nWHEN OTHERS ARGUE ABOUT HIS LEGEND KILLING ACTION, HE COMMENCED HIS DUTY NOISELESSLY.\n\nHE IS GIVING GOOD TRAINING TO OUR TEAM.TEACHES HOW ONE CAN IMPROVE HIS SKILLS.FIRST OF ALL HE DEMOLISHED THE ATTITUDE OF SINGLE HERO SYSTEM.\n\nHE MADE TEAM INDIA TO FEEL ITS NOT DEPENDING ONE OR TWO PLAYERS..\n\nSOME MAY BLAME HIM HE IS ONE-SIDED..NURTURING SOME CRICKETTERS..BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE.\n\nHE THREW OUT WHO DESERVED TO BE.RETAINED SOMEONE WHO CAN BE USEFUL TO TEAM.\n\nHIS MISSION IS WC'O7.IF HE COMPLETE THAT, HE WILL BE A SAVIOUR OF INDIAN CRICKET.\n\nSO FAR...HIS JOB IS MORE THAN SATISFACTORY.

As a batsman I like sachin, Dhoni is a good addition to the team too - wonderful keeper and batsman. Irfan Pathan is an excellent bowler, i always say that he's the new Wasim Akram!

there is a lot of potential in the present indian team but they need to select a good fast bowler...the pitches in west indies r quite bouncy n a good pacer can help a lot......the team also lacks confidence at times but that can be worked upon if the captain and the coach acts upon it.........and ya chappel should s top experimenting now and pay attention to the present team members..\nenjoy.......
