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

VVS Laxman dropped again from Indian cricket team

VVS Laxman has been dropped for the India Vs Sri Lanka one day international cricket series

Why is VVS Laxman always the fall guy in the Indian cricket team? Its quite amazing that VVS Laxman has been repeatedly treated so badly by the Indian cricket selectors

VVS Laxman was promoted to vice captain of the Indian cricket team just a couple of months back in the last one day international against South Africa,but amazingly, the Indian cricket selectors have decided to insulted him by dropping him for the cricket World cup,without even giving him a chance

VVS Laxman 's dropping from the Indian cricket team is good news for Australia and bad news for the Indian cricket team

VVS Laxman 's axing from the Indian cricket team is probably being celebrated by the Australian cricket team, who fear Mr. Very Very Special Laxman more than anyone else in the cricketing world.

VVS Laxman has produced at least four incredible knocks for the Indian cricket team against the Australian cricket team and the Australian cricket team respects his batting abilities

Why is only VVS Laxman criticized for his fielding in the Indian cricket team?

VVS Laxman is the Indian cricket team's best slip fielder and his abilities will be very useful to the Indian cricket team at least in the first 20 overs. Why is only VVS Laxman's slip fielding criticized? What about Munaf Patel and Sreesanth- probably the Indian cricket team's worst fielders in almost a decade

VVS Laxman being dropped from the Indian cricket team is only a witch-hunt against nice guys

Nice guys like VVS Laxman dont protest after being treated badly by the Indian cricket team- no wonder people like VVS Laxman are made the scapegoat by the Indian cricket authorities and selectors,so that Greg Chappell sycophants like Suresh Raina are always given a chance in the Indian cricket team

Suffice to say, not selecting VVS Laxman is the biggest blow to Indian cricket

Dravid's selection blunder may lead to India's loss

Rahul Dravid has made the selection blunder of his life in the deciding third test of the India Vs South Africa test series.

Not selecting Harbhajan Singh and selecting an injured Munaf Patel was the most stupid decision Rahul Dravid could have ever made. Dravid has missed Harbhajan even in South Africa's first innings, the limitations of having only one spinner on a truly turning track have been felt. Every time the dust came up when a spinner pitched a ball close to the rough,Rahul Dravid must be regretting his decision to drop Harbhajan Singh from the Indian cricket team

Rahul Dravid must be finding Munaf Patel an embarrassment to the Indian cricket team

Rahul Dravid has known that Munaf Patel cannot field and bat even in normal circumstances,but today,Rahul Dravid and the entire Indian cricket loving public probably figured out that Munaf Patel is too injured to even bowl in this crucial third and deciding test of the India Vs South Africa cricket series

Dravid must be cursing his decision to select Munaf Patel instead of Harbhajan since Munaf has been struggling to bowl even at 120 kmph with a new ball. It has been a ridiculous decision for Dravid and his Australian coach with weird ideas and India may live to regret the decision. On a cricket pitch tailor made for the Indian cricket team, India may still pull off an unexpected victory,but victory would have been really easy if Dravid had selected Harbhajan Singh
