Finally - Don't you think Sourav Ganguly should be included in our team once more?

Nah, I don't think so. Ganguly has been a mediocre performer who shows flashes of brilliance, so maybe we should try and pick up a brilliant player rather than a flashy one.\n\nHe is also said to arrogant and does not jell well with the players.\nst

i thnk it is a good decision by BCCI.... if ganguly strikes then it is gud as indias poor batting performance will become better....... if ganguly fails then BCCI will b able 2 remove ganguly easily.... the public will then be wid BCCI..... India has tried evrythng.... now it should giv ganguly a chance......

He should be included in the ODI series, just because he has a tremendous track record in ODI. But i think he is becoming a victim of Chappels ego. He was the only man who stood against Sourav's inclusion in the recent ODI Pak tour.(Its confirmed and there was lots of reports in this issue http://in.rediff.com/cricket/2006/jan/30chap.htm) So that is really bad for Indian cricket. Let him give a chance and if they feel he cannot perform, throw him, but this is not the way to show personal grudge. But as a constant crcket fan of last 20 years, i tell you, sourav will bounce back and he wil get his chance also, no Chappel can deny him..

If our Cricket board can get rid of these grave politics, there is no reason why a worldclass player like Sourav cannot represent his nation in Worldcup.\nHow can we forget that we proceeded to the finals of the last WorldCup under his Captaincy?\nWe should always choose the best team for reaching the ultimate goal, and I think Sourav will fit the slot by his own charisma.

the indian selectors arent giving sourav a chance because of their personal issues with him. kiran more has openly said that sourav wont be a part of the indian team untill he is the selector. its all politics where as sachin i guess will be a part of the team even if he scores 15 ducks in a row

Yes, 100% politics... When Dalmiya was supreme power of BCCI, the east zone gets importance and the team was in pocket of Ganguly.. But now When Sharad pawar is Supreme, the west zone is having its say in almost every aspect of BCCI... Their players are getting into the team.. Mr. Kiran More is having sum unfinished business wd Ganguly and he is the main reason behind ganguly not Selected.. Kiran more we all know how gud player he was.... and i feel should not even be in selection committee.. but unfortunately he is the chairman of selection committee.... badluck for indian cricket.... the greatest ever captain of india doesn't deserve this kind of treat at this stage of his career....\n\nI hope that ganguly be back in team and plays sum extra good cricket for india to shut Kiran More's Mouth......

No Indian cricket team has one of the best talents in the world but they are wasting it by not playing to their potential. So we need not change the players but have to change their mind set by making them more professional and competitive. Indians should have the urge to win and win only they should have that spirit glowing int hem. Then only they can win. And if u wanna remove a player i suggest Suresh Raina as he is a kid and has to go the training at the lower level and have to upgrade him. He must be groomed and that should be done by making him play at the lower level. He has to be given confidence. All others must know their responsibilities and must know their role and play. They should not tell just like that "i can play at any position". Also the team management must know who can play where and must experiment on that basis. We cannot see Pathan or Dhoni at number 3. Number 3 is for an sheet anchor like Dravid or Ganguly. Kaif is also best suited for that job and Sachin and Shewag must always open. Ganguly must be inducted into the team and without him it is very difficult for India the win the World Cup.

Of course Sourav Ganguly.

Yeah should be back as the captain of Indian veterans Cricket Team.\nMay be he'll not find a place there too.\nSomone was saying that Dravid can't handle pressure and want to see him when india is down 3-2.\nWhat about the best ever captain???\nHow many final matches we had won under him????\nWe had made the record of loosing most consecutive finals.

yes ganguly should join the team jus a few tournaments before the world cup so that he could get match practice and be in roaring form for the world cup.They are keeping him out of the team so that he will react like how a wounded tiger will react when it is hurt.So Ganguly will react aggressively and ferosioucly by means of his cricket.He's already showing signs by hitting a century in an east zone match.His bowling has always been good since he's been bowling in the duleep trophy

By all means,Zaheer Khan should be back in the Indian team.The squad should be as follows \n\nOne-Dayers:\nSehwag[vice-captain],Sachin,Dravid[captain],Ganguly,Yuvraj,Kaif,Dhoni,Kumble,Harbhajan,Pathan,Zaheer,Sreesanth,Aashish Nehra,Munaf,Raina,Lakshman.\nThe above squad can be retained for the tests also.\n\nIt is unfair deal for Ganguly,Lakshman & Kumble.They should not have been dropped for the one-day squad in the recent past.Ganguly is a world class player & has a enviable record in the one-dayer,he is only next to Sachin considering the no of centuries in the one dayers.Laksman's performance was great in the one dayers.The selectors should feel ashamed to drop the player like Kumble[hope everyone know the reason].I also feel bad for Zaheer Khan who has lost his place in both the forms of the game.He was a wonderful strike bowler with Pathan,has played an excellent role in the Ranji matches in India in the recent past & is playing very well for the English county Worcestershire.I want Agarkar & Powar to be not just removed but kicked out of the Indian squad & Zaheer & Kumble can take their places.The above squad should be retained for all the matches[away & home] till the players retire. \n      By considering all these,I feel very bad for the selectors who have & will be selecting the Indian team.

you know what people of India may love him a lot. But that does guarantees his return. Its not one two in the team management but the whole system is against him. His team mates consider him as a past. Now how do you expect a comeback of him

vadlu.. ganguly has not been performing for quite some time now.. he NEEDED to be dropped. this will motivate (in a way) him to perform better the next time he plays.. which will be pretty soon.

India is lot improved in one day matches these days. their winning streak in the last six months is proof to this. Reason for this is the emergence of players like dhoni and pathan. they play positive  and aggresive cricket which is so important in one day cricket.\nAs far as ganguly is concerned he has been out of form for the last two years, and since there are youngsters emerging who are capable of replacing him, there is no point in persisting with ganguly. but if he proves himself again in the domestic circuit, he should be certainly given a chance. after all he is one of the finest cricketers ever to play for india. Remeber when he is on fire no one can match him. just flash back those straight  sixes he used to hit of spin ballers( especially left) and fast ballers. if he returns to that kind of form, no one can stop him from a come back.
