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.

Shastri and Chappel always have been suspect creatures. But I don't think there is nexus between the three here. There was a nexus between Wright and Dravid - thanks to the Kent connection. Wright even got Dravid to play for Scotland. But there was nothing wrong with that.\n\nThe wrong connections were between Chappel and Kiran More - due to business interests. And of course there have been kickbacks to Shastri to get Chappel in as the coach. Tom Moody would have been a lot better choice.\n\nBut if you are disappointed with India's performance today, blame it on the selection panel. Jaffer, Raina and Kaif simply cannot bat on bouncy wickets. They ought to be back on the first flight to Mumbai.\n\nYou'll see that in the next few matches, Dravid, tendulkar, Dhoni Swhwag and Mongia being able to bat a lot more comfortably - but the rest would continue to falter. Yuvraj could have made a difference here.\n\nBut the key point is, who else should be in the playing XI? Gautam Gambhir? Ganguly? I would even recommend someone like Akash Chopra to be brought back for the test series.

not captaincy atleast they have to let him to play as a member. we need desperately experiance in the alien conditions like WI,ENG,AUS,SA,NZ.....\nindian team is looking very patchy because no one is there with real good experiance except DRAVID,KUBLE and LAXMAN..... \nWHY dont we give chance to GANGULY,AGARKAR(who is the only bowler to impress in onedayers against WI because of experiance) \n\nDAMN BULLSHIT PLANNING BY CHAPPEL AND BLOODY SHORT GUY KIRAN MORE AND OTHER GREAT PEOPLE WHO NEVER KNOW HOW TO CATCH A BALL IN BCCI \nSHOULD TAKE IT SERIOUSLY AND THINK BOUT IT AND DO SOME THING QUICKLY SO THAT WE CAN BE GOOD TEAM IN WI IN 2007 . \n\nmind that we lost to no 9 team in world and if it is the case with AUS,SA,ENG,NZ  AND OTHER THEN WHAT IS OUR PLAN????????? IN THE SAME PLASES WE ARE GOING TO PLAY IN 2007 ......

Yes and yes raised to 1000 times.\nHe is going to make a difference.\nHe is the only one who has agression and if allowed to say passion for playing for the country. He does not like to be on loosing side. He motivates the team members and when he was the captain, Kaif and Yuvraj played some unforgetable inninings of their career. In short, he looked after and motivated the younger players.He backed them and was a good observer of a match winner.\nBringing him back as captain would give him the much needed confidence that he is looking for batting. He is practicing hard and wants to be back. Shows his competitive skill. What you need is a person like him at the top. Mike Brearly, the worst of the player you can think of, captained England and made them win some great matches. He brought back the confidence in Ian Botham. To be frank Ganguly is much better player and being at the helm of affairs, he is bound to get back into his own old good self back.\n\nYes, he is one with golden touch.\n\nAre selectors and BCCI, hearing.

NO.\nGANGULY LOST HIS FORM 2 YEARS AGO.\nBUT KAIF IS NOT PLAYING WELL IN RECENT SEASON.\nWE CANT COMPARE GANGULY TO KAIF..\nIF KAIF'S POOR FORM CONTINUES, HE TOO WILL BE THROWN OUT.

Nooooooooo!!!!absolutely not.As it is the Team has a low morale and to top it with this guy,it will be suicidal.A man is known by his actions.If he (Azhar)could desert his wife and kids for the ponds girl and bore no guilty conscience about it,if he betrayed his team and country for a mere bag of money don't you think he is capable of repeating it again??????Point to be noted.He is forgiven and frogotten but, ther's a BIG BUT--- we should opt for  "once bitten twice careful" option with the likes of Azhar.He's better off with Bijlani than with Team India!!!!!!

WHY NOT..?\nHE CAN BE RE-CALLED ..IF..\n1) INDIAN TEAM FAILS REPEATEDLY..\n2) GANGULY PLAY WELL IN ENGLISH COUNTY..\n3)EXPERIENCED PLAYERS LIKE SACHIN, RAHUL INSIST         MANAGEMENT FOR GANGULY'S PRESENCE IN TEAM.

they are giving him continously chances...which must not be done...when they have done the same with ganguly...kumble...laxman...kaif then why not with sehwag...he is not a god!!! he should be given rest for 2 or 3 three matches and may be Robin or Jaffer should come in...

The future of Ganguly will be known today as selectors will be picking up tem for the test series against South Africa today.  Indications are favourable to him.  Once he comes back in the Team and performs better in the test matches, he can look for a place in ODI team also.  However, if he fails in the test series,\nthat will be the end of his carreer with Indian Team.

I think they have included him only because of the World Cup. With it heading, India needs someone who can score some runs and also stays at the wicket. He performed well in last tour in Caribbean. So, they are, maybe, looking for a permanent no. 3 batsman. Though risky, but I think it´s a good move by the selectors. Where they have tried players like Venugopal Rao, Suresh Raina, Ghambir, and the most shocking decision came when they included Piyush Chawala for England series. Eventhough he bowled only 14 overs in that match. So, why not Wasim Jaffer?\n\nRawal.

Please, do you really think Ganguly can change the fortunes of this team?\n\nAnyway, havane't you followed his pathetic perfromance in the domestic season?\n\nHe was even dropped from the rest of India team.\n\nSelecting Ganguly is a definite step backward.\n\nIf McGrath gets injured today, will Gillespie be selected? AND UNLIKE GILLEPSIE, GANGULY HASN'T EVEN MADE A 200, HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

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

He shouldn't be in the team. Who would he replce? Yuvraj Singh? He's in ominous form. Okay Yuvraj is not playing the first match, but then you can't change the balance of the team to accommodate Ganguly. Remember what happened in Pakistan? They had to shift Dravid as an opening batsman.\n\nMoreover, he's not a great test batsman. Yes, was a great test player 5 years back, but now he isn't. He now gets satisfied with scores of 20s and 30s. We certainly need someone who can score more. Youth like Yuvraj and Rain.

i think he has a full planed strategy to let team india down; first he throwed dada (saurav ganguly) out of the team and destroyed its unity and there after his illogical  experiments.\nonly god can help team india.\nhe should be thrown out of the team management

Yes,Gangully is a better player than other player's like Sreesanth, R.P.Singh, Raina etc. He is the most successful captain than Dravid and other captains. The selector's and captain Rahul Dravid give no chance to Gangully for doing better. They are saying that there is no need for Gangully.But he is made the Team India. I think he is enough capability to return cricket. The captain and selector's not give chance because he is a Bengali boy.But one day will when bengali's are ruled in India then they see the selector's and the other community. I think and whished that Gangully will return to Indian Team like a Tiger of Bengal.
