Kban, I think you are over reacting a bit about my comment. So let me first say it categorically and set the record straight that I am not in any way comparing Ganguly supporters to hitler. I would have thought that was pretty clear.

So let me go back and see what I wrote. I said Gangulians (and I know that term is frowned on and its usage is also not considered right here but lets leave that itself aside for a bit) questioning my credibility was like Hitler giving a peace lesson.

So that doesnt mean Gangulians are not peaceful. I am questioning their (and I really meant people who were going after me on this thread) credebilty and comparing that. I am comparing that to a known extreme... that Nazis were cruel and them giving peace talk.

I mean we can get offended by anything we want to and I do understand comparing anyone to hitler is cruel. For the record I never did that. I compared two sep things and showed how ridiculous one was by comparing it to another ridiculous event.

It would be fair to go talk about RU and SG's relative merits (not that they are competing with each other) rather than use this supposed slight to side track the conversation.

I am ignoring CLR's attack on me just to let the debate go on.

Dear CP,

Thanks for the clarification. I stand corrected on what you exactly meant by your still unfortunate association. Anyway, since I have retracted my statement on the 'Nazi' part, will you answer the rest of the points in my original post?

[MockTurtle]

actually mockani thats not bad. I did not watch this game and with kaif and yuvi hoging the limelite SG's great explosive start kind of got overshadowed.

But let me ask you this since u capitalized "outside" the subcontinent .... did u think that pommie icket was any less flat than this one?

And yes brilliant as that one was ... 70 off 41 is still quicker .. aint it.

Give the boy his due I say ...

it is true that SG's innings there is not talked about much because of the kaif-yuv show but if not for this start provided, we may have never made it.

Uthapa's  is quicker statistically but you are questioning the ability of SG and here's an example. add to it the fact that we were CHASING a huge score at an away place.

yes, of course, i knew you would nitpick on the actual numbers and question the flatness of the other wicket.

Guys. please. Your responses will only give credibility to such an inane thread.....

Opening the inning would Ganguly ever get 70 off 41 balls?

I guess this would be a good topic of discussion at the Gangulian only get together that Jai is putting together.

no but i have seen him hit 183 off 150 odd, if that answers your question. anyway is that our new basis of selection? sounds good.
PS someone will be eating oh so much crow mussallam if SG actually scores 70 off 40 in the next game

I seem to be safe from that ... but if it is served ... I would eat with Relish (sweet Relish)

CP, I suggest, consult a doctor/hack/psycho-counsellor/ psychopath/allopath.........anything!

Blwe what do you have against doctor/hack/psycho-counsellor/ psychopath/allopath ?? why do you want them to morph into CP  ?

[cricinfo]

oh BTW just forgot to mention ... 

SG 68/82
RU 28/17

so which one is more valuable to the inning? what if RU scored 50/60....guess that is more preferable or maybe not for CP people  ! Though I personally agree that explosive starts like these even if they are short blasts are needed from one of the openers as it is the kind of rattling which is good for the whole inning . But one of the openers , the more experienced one in this case- SG has to keep on going .
For someone like RU it is alwats 50/50 ...and remember he is not yet sorted out by oppositions as he is new ....

 if SG would have scored 28/17....CP people would be saying see we told you...he cant make 70/41  

[Blwe_torch]

really, there is no point bothering abt CP!

I can suggest a better topic for CP to ponder upon!
