Sourav Ganguly should be the captain of the Indian Team?

Re: Sourav Ganguly should be the captain of the Indian Team.

I disagree with you :-

1) Most of the players come into the category of ''was''.....like rahul, sehwag, sachin....i mean like rahul ''was'' most consistent, sachin ''was'' the greatest batsman, india ''was'' a good team...etc etc

4) everyone's forms have gone..... evryone has weaknesses like rahul is one of the worst odi players in the true sense....a shitty strike rate! sachin has his weakness to a good ball pitched just outside offstump........sehwag is much much weak on his leg side ( his feet doesn't move)

.


4=>> A tleast u agree that sachin gets out for GOOD balls unlike dada

1=>> If SACHIN 'WAS' BEST batsman and DADA 'IS' BEST batsman then y i can never read any great things written abt him by an outsider ...apart frm few fellow indians??? i can give so many quotes written abt MASTER BLASTER SACHIN but i hardly find any for dada??

BY ALAN DONALD
India doesn’t need to worry about Sachin Tendulkar. He showed on Sunday that he is beginning to find his groove finally. There was more than a glimpse of his true class; he came out wanting to spend time at the crease and a few of his shots were more than a veiled threat to South Africa. The message would not be lost on the hosts.

It would be harsh if his innings is held up as a failure or too slow for the wicket was doing a bit in the morning and it needed a skillful player to survive. He just bided his time with discipline. He rode through the tough period and a few of his shots, be it over extra covers against the spinner or down the ground against Jacques Kallis, bore the hallmark of the little champion. His ability to pick up the length and hit through the line is still uncanny.

Thus there would be more than just a few eyes looking at the four-day game at Potchefstroom with interest. Tendulkar would be watched closely for the master is showing signs of return to form. I am sure he would try to make the most of it, as would be a few other Indian batters, and get ready for the test challenge.

Tendulkar just about is beginning to show why he is everyone’s favourite batsman; his ability to take on the pressure match after match, year after year, and by remaining the fulcrum of Indian batting. He still bears the most responsibility and perhaps rightly so for he has that genius factor which most, including his team-mates, don’t possess.

Best I ever faced

In my several years of international cricket, Tendulkar remains the best batsman I have ever bowled to. It’s been a pleasure to bowl at the master batsman even though one hasn’t always emerged with credit from the engagements. There have been Steve and Mark Waughs; Mike Athertons and Brian Laras, the best of the very best but Tendulkar, to my mind, has been the toughest. He is in different category for unlike the Waugh and Atherton, he is also very pretty to watch.

You do sense a chance against somebody like Lara for he gives you a charge and discretion can get the better of him. The most impressive thing about Tendulkar is his temperament and how quickly he sizes up the length. His eyesight, footwork and the range of strokes all possess the hallmark of a master. No less impressive is the pressure he soaks up for being an icon to masses of humanity in India.

well i wanted to quote this article here,but i thought there's no need to proof that sachin is best ever batsman,by quoting such articles..

But it's good you did it,we also need to boast around sometimes...atleast of things which everyone knows(whether accepts it or not) is true...

And as for ganguly fans,two things happened simultaneously with dada's ouster last sept(05),
1.Sachin "Was" a good batsman,even though he was "god" till a day earlier,

2.Rahul is a "Chamcha" and can be led away anywhere by chappell like a three year old kid holding his father's hand..

I am always a bigger fan of Sachin than DADA. yeah, I agree that Sachin ''is'' the greatest batsman, but I would also point out that DADA ''is'' the greatest Indian captain and left handed batsman. Comparing Sachin with Sourav is baseless.

Good to know that u have agreed that SACHIN and DADA cannot be compared.

But how can u say DADA 'IS' best captain..he is no longer captain..so it will always be 'WAS' as he will now never agian be named captian of INDIAN INTERNATIONAL TEAM

Re: Sourav Ganguly should be the captain of the Indian Team.

Thats what you cannot give entire credit to a captain if a team wins..People like dravid/sehwag/kumble/bhajji/sachin have been instrumental in all the key victories for which dada has been credited for...
England-2001:dravid,kaif,sachin,yuvi
Against Aus(2001):Bhajji,kumble
Aus(2003):Sachin,dravid,kumble
Pak(2003):Sehwag,Sachin,Dravid
World-Cup(2003):Sachin&Sachin Only..

Ganguly just use to go and collect trophies...and he hasn't contributed in even one of those,above mentioned,great series in which india did well..

Yep but tell me who should be captain -dravid-best batsman but poor thinker.
tendu-we have seen enough of his captaincy and he himself want to be free of it.
gangu-Nice captain but is struggling to get back in the team.has low respect in the eyes of players.non-performer.
viru-struggling on bed..i mean bat.even stripped of vice captaincy.

IT IS CRISIS
i think vvs will be the standby captain in 1st test.

i have never seen anything so dumb! i mean can't you look at his averages.....it's close to 50........you are only considering his centuries ....and you are just blind to the fact that he can get out scoring 99 against Australia and India wins that particular match..........

There cannot more height of biasness when someone ask to make a player as captain who has not played a single odi in last 1yr and a test-match in 11 months....
i am atleast quoting facts and not using fancy vocab..
