Sourav Ganguly was missed by the Indian cricket team during the CB one day cricket series in Australia

Sourav Ganguly was really missed by the Indian cricket team in the CB cricket series. Surprised?

There is so much said about the youngsters in the Indian cricket team being responsible for the Indian cricket team's win- but did the young Indian cricket batsmen do better than Sourav 'Dada' Ganguly?

The answer is a resounding "No"- Sourav Ganguly had a batting average of over 60 in one day international cricket matches over the last year of so- but all the Indian cricket batsmen in the CB series barring Mahendra Singh Dhoni had averages of less than 50.

The only batsman who came good in the CB finals was Sourav Ganguly's erstwhile senior partner, Sachin Tendulkar

In the absence of Sourav Ganguly, there were only two opening partnerships greater than 50- both of the partnerships had the greatest one day international "senior" batsman in the world- "Senior" Sachin Tendulkar play a major role

Sourav Ganguly was unfairly dropped from the Indian cricket team and his replacements are simply not good enough

Sourav Ganguly was treated badly by the Indian cricket selectors and Mahendra Singh Dhoni- We seem to be getting back to the bad old days, when the whims and fancies of selectors and Indian cricket captains decided the composition of the Indian cricket team

Sourav Ganguly's absence underscores that Youth is not important, only performance should the criteria for selection

Sachin Tendulkar said it best when he said that the seniors still have a role to play and the Indian cricket team should be selected based on performance rather than whims, fancies and age

Sourav Ganguly is a better fielder than a lot of "young" players in the Indian cricket team

Sourav Ganguly is a better fielder than at least Suresh Raina and Munaf Patel,who let a lot of balls slip under their feet-

Sourav Ganguly is supposedly a bad fielder and thats the reason he was dropped- but compared to the leaden footed "young" fielders in the CB cricket series such as Munaf Patel and Suresh Raina, Sourav Ganguly is definitely better

Sourav Ganguly could also have contributed with the ball in the CB cricket series

Sourav Ganguly is definitely an asset to any Indian cricket team - he would have been a valuable all-rounder in the Indian cricket team, and allowed the Indian skipper to even play an additional batsman

Sachin Tendulkar did bail out Dhoni's "youngsters", but the Indian cricket selectors should realize their mistake, and reinstate Sourav "Dada" Ganguly in the Indian cricket team

Sachin Tendulkar holds the key for the Indian cricket team in the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

Sachin Tendulkar will decide the outcome of the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series. This sounds like a chiche, even after almost twenty years of cricket by Sachin Tendulkar, but the Indian cricket team has evolved around Sachin and will continue to evolve around Sachin till he retires

Sachin Tendulkar was not a member of the World cup winning Indian Twenty20 cricket team in South Africa, and Sachin Tendulkar will be eager to prove a point to his detractors in the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

The Australian cricket team's level of rustiness offers a good chance for the Indian cricket team to pull off an upset in the India Vs Australia one day cricket series

The Australian cricket team seems to be rusty after their long layoff and this could prove to be a great chance for the Indian cricket team in the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his merry band of cricketers have the advantage of having the experience of Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid in the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

The experience of Sachin Tendulkar and Rahul Dravid will be a huge advantage for Mahendra Singh Dhoni and his merry band of cricketers in the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

Apart from his immense talent,Sachin Tendulkar brings to the table, a great understanding of the cricket game and this will be invaluable for Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the Indian cricket team In the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

For example, while batting first,within a few overs Sachin Tendulkar typically will decide on the target score and convey it to Mahendra Singh Dhoni,the Indian cricket team's captain. This kind of perception is invaluable for Mahendra SIngh Dhoni and the Indian cricket team in the India Vs Australia cricket one day international series

The Australian cricket team appear rusty at the start of the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series,and this is the best chance for Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the Indian cricket team

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and the Indian cricket team should exploit the rustiness of the Australian cricket team at the start of the India Vs Australia one day international cricket series

Cricket astrologer strikes again, perfectly predicts draw in India Vs England test match

The cricket astrologer strikes again, correctly predicts results of India Vs England test match

GameCricket.com had predicted a draw in the India Vs England first cricket test yesterday. As predicted,the Indian cricket team barely escaped with a draw in the India Vs England first cricket test, thanks to the English weather, Laxman and above all Dhoni

With Dravid and Tendulkar set to make at least one big score in the India Vs England cricket series, India still have a chance of winning the cricket test series

Dhoni dropped from Indian cricket team?

Dhoni being dropped from Indian cricket team?

Rumors suggest that Mahendra Singh Dhoni will be dropped from the Indian cricket team. Dhoni will be replaced by Dinesh Karthik, who is currently in the team as a specialist batsman

The argument suggests that Dhoni is not a good wicketkeeper,especially in English conditions and Dinesh Kartik can do a better job at keeping for the Indian cricket team

Why cannot Dhoni play as a specialist middle order batsman

Dhoni is currently being treated as an also-ran in the race for the much coveted middle order position. After Sachin Tendulkar, the immediate choices for the Indian cricket's middle order positions are Saurav Ganguly,Laxman and Yuvraj Singh. But typically, the Indian cricket team management seems to think that a strokeplayer like Dhoni can come in only at number 7 and not earlier

Dhoni dropped?Have the Indian cricket team management not heard of Kevin Pieterson?

Pieterson is as unorthodox as Dhoni and plays for the England cricket team at number four and very often intimidates the opposing cricket team. By playing predominatly off the front foot, Pieterson often damages the confidence of the opposing cricket team by scoring at over a run a ball.

Lets hope logic prevails and Dhoni is not dropped from the Indian cricket team for the first cricket test against the England cricket team

Mahendra Singh Dhoni- The next Sachin Tendulkar?

Mahendra Singh Dhoni-Mahendra Singh Dhoni has the ability to be a truly great

Mahendra Singh Dhoni is already the best Indian wicketkeeper batsman ever. Mahendra Singh Dhoni could
turn it around and become one of India's great batsmen ever

Mahendra Singh Dhoni needs to bat at number 3

The only reason Mahendra Singh Dhoni is batting at number 7 is that wicketkeepers usually bat at number 7. :-)
Its stupid that Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a match winner is batting late in the batting order. The earlier self-styled "Guru" coach of the
Indian cricket team,Mr. Greg Chappell, was really underutilizing Dhoni's potential

If Mahendra Singh Dhoni is really among the top ten batsmen in the world, Dhoni should bat up the order,at number 3.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni needs the support of the Indian cricket captain and coach

Players with raw talent like Mahendra Singh Dhoni need the support of the Indian cricket coach and captain.
Mahendra Singh Dhoni has been underutilized so far in his career and needs to be given ample opportunities so that he can play
to his potential

Mahendra Singh Dhoni's greatest worry- satisfying the expectations of the Indian cricket fan

The Indian cricket fan expects Mahendra Singh Dhoni to hit a century in every match and a six of every ball.

As Sachin Tendulkar has found out,much to his chagrin, one failure in an important match can wipe off all of Mahendra Singh Dhoni's greatest
achievements

Its easier for Mahendra Singh Dhoni to play Brett Lee than satisfy the Indian cricket fan

Indian cricket team losing to Bangladesh in World cup cricket group match?

Indian cricket team is struggling against Bangladesh cricket in the World cup cricket Group match

The Indian cricket team is struggling at 125/4 off 37 overs against the unfancied Bangladesh cricket team

The Indian cricket batsmen were tentative to start with and soon lost Sehwag - playing without moving his feet again

Uthappa showed promise for the Indian cricket team but was soon out prodding at the ball outside the offstump

The Indian cricket batsmen are treating the cricket ball as if it is a live grenade

The Indian cricket team are running scared of the cricket ball and only gingerly touching the ball with the bat

The Indian cricket team soon lost Sachin Tendulkar as he tried to force the pace for a change, but his current amazing weakness against the spinners was exposed as he was caught behind of the foxy Rafique

Indian cricket team's only hope are Yuvraj and Dhoni in Group match against Bangladesh cricket team

Yuvraj Singh seems to be in fine form for the Indian cricket team and he seems to be the only hope for India along with Dhoni to follow next. Yuvraj and Dhoni need to power the Indian cricket team to a score of at least 225 runs to make a match of this India Vs Bangladesh Group match of the cricket world cup,2007

Indian cricket team could be out of the cricket World cup if they lose this opener against the Bangladesh cricket team and time is running out!

Soon,

Dhoni should open for the Indian cricket team

Dhoni should open the batting for the Indian cricket team

Dhoni is the right person to open the batting for the Indian cricket team. Dhoni has the ability to thrash the opposition in the initial Power Play overs and is the right candidate to open the Indian cricket team's innings.

Dhoni opening for the Indian cricket team ensures that Dhoni gets the maximum number of overs

The best criteria to decide who should open the innings is that the best batsmen of the team should open and Dhoni is currently the batsman in the Indian cricket team with the best strike rate and the best average.

Dhoni is also ranked No. 3 in the ICC cricket rankings and rankings are usually a good criteria in determining the best batsman of the innings

Should Dhoni and Kamran Akmal be dropped?

Should Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Kamran Akmal be dropped

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Kamran Akmal are a cause of great debate. Imran Khan recently said that he is curious to see whether Dhoni or Kamran Akmal is the better wicketkeeper. Well, I would suggest Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Kamran Akmal should be dropped from the national cricket teams of India and Pakistan as wicketkeepers

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Kamran Akmal are good batsmen but poor wicketkeepers

I dont deny that Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Kamran Akmal are great world class batsmen, but they are extremely poor wicketkeepers.Syed Kirmani has suggested that Mahendra Singh Dhoni is a very poor wicketkeeper and I am sure that Kumble will agree for all the missed chances off his bowling.Both Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Kamran Akmal do not seem to grasp the fundamentals of staying down low to spinners-

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Kamran Akmal should first perform as wicketkeepers

Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Kamran Akmal should realize that their first day job is of wicketkeepers- Imagine if its the world cup final and Dhoni or Akmal drop either Kallis or Lara, their entire countries will rue the missed chance for the next four years

Dhoni
