Is it wise to neglect S.Ganguly from the Indian team at this juncture?

Why didn't we all ask this question to M/s More, Chappell & Dravid when Ganguly was dropped from the test team after two useful knocks in Karachi against Pakistan on a difficult wicket against a strong pace attack.

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!!!!!!!!!

It is a nice question! Greg Chappell is a, sort of an useless coach who does a lot of politics. He is a Trojan horse made by the Australians to spoil the Indian cricket team by dropping Ganguly and Laxman.

It is very good if they call back him at this all-lost-stage & \ndon't consider it is a must...\n\nNobody is inevitable in any team...\nThe should be able to perform good...\n\nSee Australia is winning matches in a raw not because of a single player's performance...Against India at DLF they lost 5 wickets & they won the match professionally...Against Newzeland yesterday they lost both openors cheaply and they could manage to win...In several cases they have proved it...\n\nSo ne meaning of roaring for Ganguly always...He was a very good player and we lost many matches with him also...

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.

IF SOMEONE BELIEVE "GANGULY" ONLY THE SO CALLED\n"EXPERIENCE".....THAT'S TOTALLY WRONG.\n\nYOU CANT BLAME A CAPTAIN OR COACH FOR INDIA'S OVERSEAS DEFEAT.\nITS HAPPENING FOR QUITE A LONG TIME..ALMOST THE BEGINNING.\n\nEVERYONE KNOWS THE UNIVERSAL TRUTH...INDIA CANT WIN IN ABROAD.

Hi there, \n\nI think Ganguly needs to put a better show and prove his worth. We can't blame the selectors because they know the whole world is watching them, and wouldn't do so much of injustice if a player is really good.\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

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.

No Indian cricket team has one of the best talents in the world but they are wasting it by not playing to their potential. So we need not change the players but have to change their mind set by making them more professional and competitive. Indians should have the urge to win and win only they should have that spirit glowing int hem. Then only they can win. And if u wanna remove a player i suggest Suresh Raina as he is a kid and has to go the training at the lower level and have to upgrade him. He must be groomed and that should be done by making him play at the lower level. He has to be given confidence. All others must know their responsibilities and must know their role and play. They should not tell just like that "i can play at any position". Also the team management must know who can play where and must experiment on that basis. We cannot see Pathan or Dhoni at number 3. Number 3 is for an sheet anchor like Dravid or Ganguly. Kaif is also best suited for that job and Sachin and Shewag must always open. Ganguly must be inducted into the team and without him it is very difficult for India the win the World Cup.

SOURAV WAS THE BEST ONCE UPON A TIME..\nBUT...\nHE IS NOT IN FORM FOR LAST 2 YEARS...\nHE DIDN'T TRY TO CORRECT HIS WEAKNESS..\nIF A CAPTAIN....BATTING IN OPENING SLOT FAILS OFTEN...\nIT WILL AFFECT SERIOUSLY THE TEAM.\n\nSELECTORS GAVE ENOUGH TIME TO GANGULY..\nBUT..\nHE DIDN'T UTILIZE THAT..\n\nSO, THE SELECTORS DECIDED TO DETACH HIM ..\n\nSHARAD PAWAR HAS NO HANDS IN GANGULY'S REMOVAL.

yes he is the victim of the conspiracy. I am not Gangully fan but the way he is neglected is very sorry for the indian cricket. Agreed he was a very selfish player but he was a standard player just see his performance, whenever he scored, india wins may be he has scored apposite of substandard teams but we cant deny that after all it is international team. BCCI should think over Gangully matter. Being a cricketer and played upto first class level i understand the importance of each run scored. Just see the class of gangully & the Selectors apposing him. My view in abscence of Sachin, Gangully should be present. See the opening we have got from these two its great.

Of course, Ganguly should be brought back and should also be made the captain.\nHis records as captain are much better than anyone else.\nIndia will definitely defeat Australia and no one can stop India from winning the World Cup this time.\nGanguly is a victim of the deep politics going on between the selectors and the BCCI.

GANGULY IS A GREAT PLAYER\n BUT IT,S NOT A TI ME TO REVISE HIM

Yes, Ganguly is batting on 118.  He came in a 5-2 and played a decent unbeaten knock. But, what I did not like was the fuss he created about security concerns after twin ULFA related blasts in the city, postpoining the start of play by 45 minutes.\n\nBut then I know how the media manipulates news. If the game was put off by 45 minutes, all it takes is a douchebag-of-an-Indian-scribe to call the delay due to Ganguly.\n\nGrow up you bunch of Indian-arssehole-journos.

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.
