Tendulkar and Laxman haven't exactly converted their "starts" recently either. The last time Lax scored a hundred was back in the winter of '05, well over a year ago. If anyone should go based on their recent form, it's Tendulkar. 534 runs @ 29.66 since the home series vs Sri Lanka. Sehwag scored the exact same number of runs at the exact same average (when you discount his runs in WI) and he was rightfully kicked out for it. Why should Tendulkar be any different ? I'd kick out these two before i even contemplate dropping Ganguly.
Ganguly scored a remarkable 239 against Pakistan . At one stage India were struggling at 61-4 but there was Dada in whom the whole responsibility of the game was. Dada made a partnership of 300 with another century maker Yuvraj Singh not only to rescue his team but to take India to a winning position. Its because of Sourav Ganguly that once again India has got a score of over 600 with some batting still left.
What i still see in Ganguly is a cavalier, fighting spirit. Notice how once he arrives at the crease, he puts a price on his wicket and stays - forging partnerships and knuckling down. He also scores at a comparatively fast pace. You don't see this from Tendulkar anymore, and not often enough from Laxman or Dravid????
WHY TARGETING ONLY "DADA"..?
It's foolish to expect Ganguly to score hundreds, don't expect the same from Tendulkar or Lax either - they aren't good enough to produce quality innings against top class opposition.Why is that always DADA is always being targeted by the selectors.?
After accomplishing & crossing milestones ,with the present form , above all being the most successful captain India had ever had, none can expect a 3rd degree treatment from the National Selectors by constant humiliation..
If the current panel of selectors were present 3 years ago , Dada's life would have been different & he would have been playing his natural game . When Greg chappell dropped Ganguly & chose T.P. Singh to replace him. Does anyone know where is he palying???
Its impossible for the selectors to select & to fill the position of "Saurav Ganguly".

i know ur disappointed by his retirement.u r just irritated with that..pls dont show that on sachin n laxman ....
Nice blog da.....Try writing another blo about his achievements and best knocks......
I feel its time for all the three to retire and give chance to young, talented, enthusiastic, energetic players... In others countries we see that players retire when they are still in good shape... they don't postpone their retirement until everyone is desperate to kick them out of the team... Australian Bowler Shane Warne retired in Jan 2007 wen he was in good shape... we can infer that by his return in leading the Rajasthan Royals and successfully winning the IPL Trophy in Jun, 2008...
Mr vengsarker has done the damage for "DADA"..he doent know the value of him...As a player also Vengsarker didnt prove anything..wat he accomplished? why is he playing in DADA's career? Whole country was behind him when he took india to de final..its a very sad thing of getting humiliated after achieving a lot in indian soil...:) ..i will surely miss DADA
Started your "DADA"giri...? Good one but don't go too offensive on Sachin, I hate him too, but not right to say that in a society which thinks Rajni is better than Kamal and Sachin is the greatest ever.. Man they earn crores from ducks!!
