Re: Ganguly the Allrounder
Indian cricket board is a JOKE.
The baniyaas in the board have now even shed the pretension of being professionals.
Imazine, even before the selection committee met - the clown Ranbir Singh Mahendra and Dalmiya started making noises about why Ganguly should not be ignored. Isn't that the job of the selection committee ?
And what has Gangu done from a cricketing perspective :
He scored a duck in each innings of the recent Duleep Trophy game(for good measure, it was Zaheer who bowled him on both occasions). Oh yeah...he scored the brilliant century in 100000 balls against the world class Zimbabwe attack a couple of months back - as Mahendra reminded the press recently.
Ofcourse, Gangu took 5 wickets in an innings in the nick of time aiding the selectors discover the "all rounder" in him....CRAP. His inclusion will only disrupt the momentum and destabilize the Indian side... I hope he fails so we can see the last of him.
Feel sorry for Zaheer. He is a talented player and has been performing brilliantly in domestic cricket recently ...unfortunately he does not have a baniyaa godfather like Dalmiya.
