Bless your friend!
A small spark of hope in complete darkness but still good enough! I really hope we can make a match of out it even if it rains for sometime.
All eyes on Saurav Ganguly

For those who crib about how Dravid backstabs his former captain, here is the answer for you! He is making all the attempts to make the former captain at ease with this Indian team! If all what is said is to be believed, then the Ganguly-Chappell problem is now a thing of the past!

I read that in thatscricket as well, hope the positiveness continues! We all make mistakes, just imagine how many times we have annoyed others, we do it almost everyday. Same with Ganguly!
Now, hopefully, its a thing of the past and i hope India can build on the momentum from the last two series.

Good news for Ganguly and Indian cricket! Signs showing that the wounded tiger might arise! He seems to be bonding well with the team mates.
Ganguly is a sure bet at No.5
At No.5, he can face the spinners and more importantly, has more chances to face the older ball (if he doesnt come after the 80th over when the new ball is taken!). He has a very good opportunity now! He has to utilise it!

i'll post some excerpts...
"The fighter still remains - Watching Ganguly"
"Every eye was trained on Greg Chappell and Rahul Dravid, and how they would react to the prodigal son's return. Dravid was first to have a chat, and then Ganguly spent five minutes behind the nets having a t?te-?-t?te with Chappell. There was no sign of rancour, just two professionals getting on with the job at hand. "
Very nice to see that, the team has welcomed him quite well!
"Ganguly spent some time watching Sachin Tendulkar practise his drives against a boy throwing from 15 yards. With a smile on his face, he walked up for a word and for a brief moment, as Tendulkar waved animatedly with his gloved hand, you were transported to the days when the two were the most feared batting combination in the history of one-day cricket."
Don't we want to witness that again? Sachin and Sourav opening for India? It may not be possible right now but i just can't stop thinking about those glorious days when these two dominated the bowlers, together.
"Ganguly even found the time to pouch an outstanding catch low to his right before being enveloped by a horde of cameras and microphones en route to his kitbag. But there was no fighting talk, and certainly no posturing, merely a friendly wave and a hello for those faces he recognised. "
He's putting his effort, lot of hard-work and thats good to see. May be the disposal was a wake-up call for him to perform like he should, not like how he wants to.
"Indian cricket's most-celebrated leader now finds himself in the role of ordinary foot-soldier, as he was when he first lit up the cricketing firmament with a century at Lord's in 1996. ...................given how often he has proved his detractors wrong in the course of a career yielding over 15,000 international runs, you'd have to be inordinately brave - or foolish - to write him off. "
Well said! scoring 15000 runs means the player has some class and skill in him, and that class is always in him.
"He carries the reminders of every glove that laid him down or cut him ... but the fighter still remains"
Thats Ganguly for us...
Btw, i'm not supporting entirely for Ganguly, if he doesn't perform then others should be given a chance. But after some good performances in domestic level, i hope the BCCI gives him a chance to rediscover himself, rediscover a man who has changed the face of Indian cricket, in some way!

You're exactly right. If he doesnt perform, move ahead! But he has fought backw with some good centuries in domestic cricket and just like any other cricketer, he needs to be given a chance. He also has that experience of international level!
Sachin-Saurav opening? Well, a mouth watering combination but highly unlikely now that Sehwag and Gambhir have staked their credentials with fine performances! If at all Saurav gets a chance in the ODI's, it has to be at the expense of Gambhir but if that happens, yes we can may be dream of seeing them together at the top again. Sehwag seems to have settled in the middle order very well!

I hope Sri Lanka perform better then in the ODI Series.
And there is a cyclone threatening the Test match.
