it's just that lot of board members are against him. That's all.

very much expected, its the news that selectors want to test somw new talents in Bangladesh, as they are not a cricket giant, Dhoni also dont want such seniors... 1+1=2 ;)

He is not alone. Dravid is there to provide him company

dravid is not in reckoning for the ODI spot anymore..doesnt deserve it either..has been in horrendpous form over the past 2 years...

dadas achievements are enough to proclaim his glory..be it tests or ODIs..

i am feeling a bit-surprised and angry.. scoring 89 from 53 balls was enough in the last T20 i guess...

u know what..ganguly aint comin back.he is out of the picture .. the selectors dont want him...simple.
He hasnt been exceptional in IPL.. he has been good but other players have been much better.. if u r takin IPL as a selection criteria ganguly wont be the 1st player to get selected & if ur not takin IPL into consideration then ganguly is anyway out of the squad

Why is it not fair?... ganguly is good but he is past his prime..so youngsters should get chance.. Bangladesh ko khelna hai na.:D

^^He isn't totally out of form. He is a good player and he should have been there in the squad. IMO he is better than Sehwag.

He doesnt deserve a place in the squad in my opinion.. but he is definetly better than unreliable sehwag.. sehwag is their on his T20 performance but i still dont trust him & i believe he will disappoint us again . he may do well against bangladesh but not Pak...

I really feel that Ganguly should have been there instead of Sehwag in the squad. T20 performance shouldn't have been taken into consideration here for senior players.

past his prime??i mean is this a common saying nowadays???past his prime..what the heck..

tests in 2007-1164 runs second to kallis..
odis in 2007-1300 runs 4th in the world

ipl 2008- 350 runs and 6 wickets at an economy of 6 which included three matchwinning performances and 2 man of the match awards.....

IPL MVP-12

Now if thats not performance what is??he fielded well too..took 6 catches and made to run outs...

now thats way better than yuvis or dhonis or sehwags performance..give me a valid reason as to ehy he is not in the team..

also..i forgot to add..the last test against SA in kanpur, DADA singlehandedly won the match for India when all the superstars failed..he also scoed an 87 in the last match when the batting failed yet again..Saurav has bee proving that by form..he has been the best player in the indian fraterty over the past two years..but hes still not in the team...

i say..what has dravid done to be not thrown out of the team??if ganguly can be thrown out for a lean patch..why is dravid still there in the test team??

When you chuck a player with the 4th highest runs in Odis you are not doing it for the interest of the game...

Look Ganguly won't be back whatever the reason you say here, you will see him in the IPL though, if you want to see dada in the one day sqaud the team needs to fail badly in the Tri series & the asia cup unless that happens you will only see dada in test matches & IPL from now on, so pray that our indian team fails..

Actually i am very upset with the whole tri series & the asia cup its like a cheap beer after a classic champagne of IPL, common now how can someone like india vs bangladesh,india vs hong kong & UAE etc , i mean those matchups look very boring , oh well still 9 months to go for the second IPL, long time to wait.

hey man i do like the Asia cup concept...
u know what if the game has to go global.. we need such competitions
& we can test new players agaianst these week teams

@amd64_man2005

u know what.. Ganguly is not coming back to Odi's . its over for him.& im pretty sure even u realise that. So stop wasting ur time in arguing his case.

Lets just hope we beat the heck out of Pakistan. :D
