Re: Ganguly Bachaa-ow Tehreek
F&B, you are showing typical desi emotions about a player who is most definitely over the hill.
Ganguly does not figure in the future scheme of things besides the fact that he continues to be suspect against fast bowling. Plus he is not physcially fit (No, I am not saying this because Chappel said it). Why do we need him when we have better replacements. Should he be included just because his name is "Sourav Ganguly" who has scored over 15,000 runs in the past.
This is the same desi mentality which saw Kapil Dev, Azharuddin etc play way past their prime.
In this regard, I like the Australian mind-set. No emotions, no care for reputation or the BS about respecting a GREAT player etc....just pick a side based on cricketing reasons.
Consider my opinion radical, but I will say this .....if Tendulkar also does not perform on a consistent basis, his place in the side should be questioned too.
