Ganguly has no plan to quit big time cricket  
Press Trust of India         
 
 
Kolkata, April 21:
Despite being ignored by the national selectors yet again, former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly has no plan to quit big time cricket and would continue to play domestic tournaments to make a comeback into the national side.
 
 
“He will definitely continue playing,” said Ganguly’s close friend and former Bengal Ranji Trophy cricketer Sanjay Das.

Das, who is also the brand partner of Ganguly’s posh eating joint ‘Sourav’s’, expressed annoyance with the selectors' decision to leave the left-hander out of next month’s ODI engagements in the West Indies.

“Not merely as a friend, but as a cricket lover also, I feel bad about this. Keeping him out of the squad is definitely not the right decision. But then, it is the judgement of the selectors. We can’t do anything about it,” Das said.

Asked how Ganguly has taken the latest snub from the selectors, Das said, “oh! he is all right. Absolutely all right”.

The cricketer, however, could not be contacted, as he was away in Mumbai on a personal visit.

Ganguly’s father Chandi, a former Cricket Association of Bengal secretary, refused to comment.

“Please don’t ask us questions on Sourav being kept out of the side. We can’t answer,” he said.

Ganguly’s elder brother Snehasish also shied away from commenting.

I dont think this should Upset anybody.
This is a welcome News- The best a cricket can do - Is play Cricket:
What is disheartining is - At times I get feeling even if he performs there may not be door open for him.Lets wait and watch Is there a two way traffic ?

[keep-it-cool]

Why should anyone be upset? No one here hates SG personally. If he performs and meets the requirements of the team, he will be back. Else, he can continue to enjoy domestic and county cricket ...

[achutank]

i don't know if you are being naive or sarcastic here. if you are being the former than maybe we should ask kban to step in and give you a primer on the turn of events in the last one year. if it is the later then well what can i say except that i think its rather slightly on the poorer side of good taste

[toney]

gc's pimp,
why should anyone be upset about this?

[tombaan]

it is indeed a sad day....he should join his friend in the business ofcourse he can still score 30s and be around the corner performance

[hastalavistababy]

gc's pimp Harsha,
why should anyone be upset about this?

cloudy sky let me conclude that it will rain.

[Aloo Kashmiri Ul Haq]

exactly, why would any indian team fan be upset with such an article. i am sure ganguly is no idiot and knows what he is doing. i only wish he had more chances so that in the future no one can take a shot at indian cricket.

[Cover Point]

Nothing to be upset about. I have always said. He needs to keep performing (or should I say start performing again). He needs to score a lot of runs and FORCE his way into the team.

If he does that I will be the happiest for the team.

[Jai]

I don't think most of the fans will be upset by this news, but some could very well be and I am only talking about the so called 'fans' of this DG. I can certainly imagine a few of them cursing SG after reading this. I don't think pimp's comment is totally off the mark.

[arjun]

So once he "starts performing", he will be considered for selection again? As if performance has been the criterior for his non-selection? Are you really so naive as to believe this?

See this is the problem with you guys. Itna gussa bhara hai ki lose sight of the forest for the trees. You know, for all the hungama here, Ganguly's ODI domestic performance has been nothing to write home about. Assuming he is like anyone else, what has he done to seperate himself from the pack? And dont bring up 15000 runs as history means just history.

His recent (ODI) international form has been absymal
His Domestic form is nothing to write home about.

Why would he be selected?

Show me a few match winning knocks. Show me that he has performed AND THEN has been left out and I will stand on the same roof tops and shout with you. Else it is just Rasam in my college hostel. Lots of water ...but when u dig deep barely can find any thing substantial!

Arjun, while I too thought SG should have played in Ind-Eng tests, I do think performance was definitely a cricteria. If SG made couple of 50s instead of 30s in Pak, do you think he would still have got dropped? Yes, I do think, the current team management is not totally comfortable to have him in the dressing room for whatever reasons(including non cricket reasons), but it is simply impossible to keep him out if he comes out with strong performances, not borderline performances.

I for one, would prefer not to make destructive criticism, the team is doing good, let us give the team mangement all the support they need. Every team will have to make some subjective calls, calls which are not completely rooted in stats & avgs etc. You and I may not agree with all of those decisions, but everyone especially the media will have make sure we are not making things difficult for the team, by nit picking, over analyzing every single decision.

Fair enough, but this draws the obvious attention why the same criteria is not applicable for a MK or VS. Kaif has the luxury of staying in the team w/o scoring for the last 4 consecutive series.  I still believe that SG is anyday a better bat than Kaif in one dayers.

[Cover Point]

I think Kaif's comment is fair. Sehwag not so. Sehwag provides a different player to the team. Someone who, once in form can completely anhiliate the opposition. No one other than him in the current team can do the same (except for Dhoni maybe). Thats the reason for the extra patience with him.

And dont forget that SG was persevered with for a LONG time despite his poor run.

Kaif is a fair question and the next series will answer that. He really really needs to perform VERY well to stay in the team (and u can say that he is already out of the 11). Raina I believe is above him in the pecking order.

[senthilpeter]

Please dont bring up Kaif's case (whether or not he's unfairly in the team) for Ganguly's sake. Even assuming that Kaif has bribed his way in, why is it linked to Ganguly coming in? Can't Ganguly come in by making his bat talk? We all know he's not made people sit up and take notice by slamming runs all over. So how can he expect to come in, unless you are saying, like Kaif, he needs to be treated with kid gloves too.

I honestly dont see how anyone will keep Ganguly out if he can play eye-catchingly for a few months. Its just that he keeps doing mediocre stuff... and that yes will not be enough given the history of the GC/More saga.

[ruchir]

I too feel that Kaif has been given a long rope. But, let's look at those last few series that Kaif and Ganguly played together:

BD in BD:
Ganguly : 0, 22, 55 (during his inning of 55 in 80 balls, VS scored 70/52, SRT 47/42, RD 60/68, YS 69/32)
Kaif:      80, 49, 29* (his 80 was the highest score in team, we won)

PAK in IND:
Ganguly: 0, 9,  4, 18
Kaif:      7, 0, 32,  5, 78 (his 78 was 2nd highest in team after RD' 86)

IOC cup in SL:
Ganguly: 51, 2*, 26 (his 51 came painfully in 110 balls, we lost the match)
Kaif:        8, 24, 34, 83*, 31 (his 83 was 2nd highest in team after YS 110, they had 100+ partnership, we won)

Videocon cup in ZIM:
Ganguly: 5, 20,     19, 2, 31
Kaif:       9, 65, 102*, 8, 93* (65 and 93* highest in team, 65 won us match and 102* won us match)

It is clear that in his last 4 ODI series, Ganguly did not play one single match winning innings. Not only that, his batting was clearly inferior to Kaif's. Ganguly did not play any innings of consequence/importance (probably one of 51) where as Kaif played 4 match-winning innings and 2 other innings of some importance. Add to that, the fact that Kaif is arguably the most electric fielder in the ODI side where as Ganguly is one of the most sluggish. If anyone were to chose a player between them, based on the series they played together, anyone would choose Kaif.

Now let us look at what Kaif did after Ganguly was dropped.

SL in IND:
38*, 13

SA in IND:
1, DNB, 46, 16*

Still he was not exactly BAD. His form took a dip when IND went to PAK. Since then his scores have been single digits. In the mean time, Ganguly did not do anything, even in Tests, to prove that he would come out as a better batsman in ODIs than Kaif. His batting performances in domestic ODIs were nothing much to write about. Remember, when playing together, Kaif was always giving better batting performances than Ganguly. So, maybe, just maybe, that is what prompted team management to give Kaif, one last chance in WI. 'Cause he has shown that when in form, he can be a match winner with his bat. So, they are giving him his last chance to find form (like Sehwag probably has). I'm sure that if Kaif does not find form in WI, he will be replaced by Rao (and when SRT comes, by Raina). That is what I think.

Pimp: Don't understand whom you are talking about but am taking a guess that you are pointing towards Kaif. So, in my original post, I said clearly that Kaif's ODI batting form took a dip starting from PAK series.

For most of his career, Kaif has been quite consistent with bat. Avg. of 32 for a #6 batsman is not exactly bad. Also, it is not like Kaif has not been subtly warned by the management. He was not played in the 2 matches against PAK. I feel that was an clear message to him that his position has become shaky. He is still selected in the squad of 15 but I don't think RD/GC has given him any guarantee that he will be selected in playing 15 over Raina/Rao.

Toney Bhai, Ban beep do .. I will take the  75 Lychees. You know Maaza's Lychee juice is really good.

Payasam, Payasam, Payasam, Payasam, Payasam, Payasam!!!!

ban both CP & toney, by talking only about payasam & rasgulla, they are hurting my telugu sentiments...I demand that CP occasionally also mention gongura pacchadi in his posts(even if  out of context).

[toney]

cp, havent had the lychees juice yet.
Flute, I agree. Ban me, mods.

[tombaan]

the whole lot of you are banned tho mera kya hoga re cp?

[gouravk]

What is this ? Some sort of jail bharo andolan ?

[Cover Point]

OK change of plans.

You have to feed me these declicious "mithai's" before I can use them out of context. A lot of these I am hearing for the first time. Gongura..hmmm I need to go fight with my neighbour. Saala Hyderabadi hai fir bhi kabhi Gongura nahin khilaya.

Ok for every Dessert that I get fed, I will post 10 different posts about Ganguly with the Dessert used totally and completely out of context. PM me and I will send u the address

the whole lot of you are banned tho mera kya hoga re cp?

Tom aap mumbai se hain ... To Aaloo Bhonda ka naam leke aap bhi ban ho jana! We can make Rang de basanti from the jail.

tombaan, you'll be our last hope, when we languish behind bars.

CP, it is gongura pickle(pacchadi)..its a telugu speciality...its a leafy vegetable like spinach, popular in AP.
nag your neighbour for it..he will definitely have it when it returns from India

From the looks of it this thread has not really upset anyone here...but the Wise One can see things I cannot.

Flute, Leafy vegetable. I must have had it then. Yaar sab naam bhool jaate hain old age main.

But wait a minute. How did you know my neighbour is in India? Yeh Flute to antaryami hai!
