Ganguly Bachaa-ow Tehreek

Re: Ganguly Bachaa-ow Tehreek

^...exactly....am I the only sane person around ??

Can't people see that even Irfan Pathan scored 93 in such CHALLENGING CIRCUMSTANCES.

From a cricketing stand-point, Gangu's exclusion is a no-brainer. He is directly competing with Yuvraj Singh for the Number 6 position...and anybody who knows his cricket will choose Yuvraj over Gangu on current form.

Re: Ganguly Bachaa-ow Tehreek

Irrespective of what side of this issue you are on, one thing is sure, parliament shouldnot be interfering.

Re: Ganguly Bachaa-ow Tehreek

Well, Senior player and actors have right to express their views as me and you do.You may or may not agree with it. It is your choice. I dont see anythign wrong with it. Getting parliament into it is too much.

Re: Ganguly Bachaa-ow Tehreek

If I was Kiran More…I would resign. I mean what is the point ?
The team should henceforth be selected in the Parliament.
Our reverred MPs who were recently caught on tape receiving money for asking questions in the house can now also discuss matters of such national and strategic interest…like the selection of HIS HIGHNESS SOURAV GANGULY.

I recommand you go to www.cricketnext.com and read “Jhakas” on each visit :smiley:

Re: Ganguly Bachaa-ow Tehreek

f&b: Ok point taken on seniors having a point. But what sense is there in the new chief Pawar saying he is 'shocked'. Isn't he influencing the Selection Committee?

Re: Ganguly Bachaa-ow Tehreek

Yep.. You have point there.

Re: Ganguly Bachaa-ow Tehreek

:teary2: And more heartbreaking news coming from rediff.com

Ganguly had tears rolling down his cheeks when he broke the omission news to his wife, Dona. But he kept a smiling face in front of the journalists. He is a HERO! I am over whelming with emotions while typing this out.:teary2:

Re: Ganguly Bachaa-ow Tehreek

^Those must have been tears of happiness.
Just a month ago, the whole of India (except for Kolkota of course) was baying for him.....and now his dropping and the subsequent "outcry" has ensured that no selection commitee will find it easy to drop him in future (without first consulting the Board President and the Parliament !!! ).

It is mind-boggling to me...that his exclusion has generated so much noise.

Re: Ganguly Bachaa-ow Tehreek

Gonglu should leave with dignity (not that he understands the meaning of it).

Or let him come to Pakistan..I wanna see him play the bouncers...I think the embarrassment should continue.

Ganguly issue to be discussed in Parliament

A national debate

Ganguly issue to be discussed in Parliament

Cricinfo staff

December 17, 2005

The axing of Sourav Ganguly, which triggered off a national debate, will take on political dimensions when it is discussed in Parliament next week. Somnath Chatterjee, the speaker of the Lok Sabha, the lower house of parliament, announced this while adding that "a great injustice has been done to Ganguly because of politics in the game".

Ganguly had already received backing from political quarters, with the likes of Pranab Mukherjee,the defence minister, and Buddhadeb Bhattacharya, chief minister of West Bengal, among the many big guns who attributed Ganguly's exclusion to political manoeuvers.

While announcing the plan to discuss the issue, Chatterjee also added that such incidents will affect the morale of the players. It is also unclear under what rule the discussion will take place, with the Parliment usually not questioning the affairs of private bodies like the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), unless they are considered matters of public importance.

Sharad Pawar, the president of the board, made it clear that he would not ask the selectors to revise their decision but added that he would meet them and dicuss the logic behind the move. On the issue being discussed in Parliament, he said, "It's quite unfortunate when people who always say there should be no politics in the game themselves indulge in these tactics."

Re: Ganguly issue to be discussed in Parliament

I think this issue has been discussed in "Ganguly bachaow tehreek" thread, no?

Re: Ganguly Bachaa-ow Tehreek

I think Ganguly should be given one more chance. The Pakistan tour :D.

Re: Ganguly issue to be discussed in Parliament

I think the Left Parties should call for a nation wide strike to protest the grave injustice done to such a great player. India's Human Rights Commission should also weigh in...
