cricinfo not done with ganguly!
« on: December 26, 2008, 07:43:23 PM »
Fading star
He's only 24. It may seem surprising, and also a bit harsh, to look at Ashraful as a fading star, but he makes the cut because of his year-long presentation of boundless despair, of a serial squandering of talent. His average in 15 innings in eight Tests was 10.6; he scored 159 runs with a highest of 35. The one-day scenario is slightly better, but even there his average is only 29.39; when matches against Ireland and UAE are excluded, it falls to 22.15. He is the best batsman in the side, and now the captain, which makes his failure more significant. Siddons actually advised Ashraful to quit the captaincy during the Australia tour, but unlike in the case of Sourav Ganguly and Greg Chappell, that didn't blow up into a major storm, even after Siddons revealed it to journalists.

""Great sportsmanship from Hauritz to accept the decision, and not blatantly walk down the pitch and harass the umpire like Ganguly did last year during the Sydney Test," says Kevin Gregg."

;D

what exactly have they mentioned against SG in the original post ? Are you saying he is not worthy of being mentioned by cricinfo because he is retired now ?
