That's wrong. All players want to be captain, what is the harm in that, they should perform like Rahul Dravid, they can also become a captain one day. What is the harm if they get loads of money in ads, they have the right to earn money, that is none of our business. The bottom line is that they should play well. And cricket is such a game in which more than 95% people in India waste their time and energy. I'm not the only one. Just for few matches which were fixed, you cannot say that all matches are fixed.

It is Chappel and others who are into politics. Chappel is a liar. If anyone calls him honest, he is a fool. He showed his middle-finger to the crowd in Kolkata out of frustation. When this came on TV, that liar said that there was some problem with his finger. And the person who said that Ganguly and Harbhajan are into match-fixing, I'll bash him up if he comes in front of me. The way Ganguly was dropped, everyone knows about it. I know he was going through a very bad patch. When he was trying to come back to form, he was dropped. Is that the way to drop a player who has made 10,123 ODI runs? He is the third player after Sachin and Inzamam to cross 10,000 ODI runs. Is that a joke? He is the most successful captain, India has ever produced, without a shred of doubt. He has more Test wins to his credit than any other Indian captain. He is the only Indian captain to win both the One Day and Test Series against Pakistan in their home turf. People say that lately he was scoring centuries against weak teams. Listen guys, a century is a century. What about the other players? They can't even make centuries against weak teams. Ganguly is a match-winner. See his stats. When he has performed, India has won most of the matches. When Ganguly was there, India reached the finals of World Cup 2003. There is no doubt that Australia was the best team that time and deserved to win the World Cup. Let me see how far does India go in 2007 World Cup with Chappel as coach, Dravid as captain and Ganguly not playing. Hello guys, who the hell told you that Ganguly is into politics.

While it is true that he had been a successful captain, let's not forget, a lot of the victories were against weak teams and for which credit goes to other players in the team. If we credit ganguly every time an Indian cricketer gets runs, its like congratulating a broker for the customer's success. Infact, few would remember Ganguly for any shrewd move in an important game. Ganguly has been a tiger against weak opponents but has hidden against the stronger teams. If he could lead from the front, he should have elected to bat against Australia in the World Cup finals on a clean batting track. His timidness cost us dear. If we would really like to believe our country had strong captains, think Kapil Dev and not the politician Sourav.An unfit and pathetic fielder like him does little to boost the morale of the team or set high standards in contemporary cricket. Infact Ganguly's politics has been responsible for many promising cricketers being left out of the team. All such cricketers have been a threat to him in some form of the game. Examples are Hemang Badani, Akash Chopra, Sanjay Bangar. Now Jaffer and Gambhir are at the receiving end. Ganguly's only contribution to Indian cricket has been to promote some young players as long as they were not a threat to him. That's more of a scheming union leader than someone who brings value in the long term. Its important for Ganguly to forget that the Dalmiya days are over and so also his political career on the cricket field. Perform if you have to stay or get kicked out. Ganguly should be kicked out immediately.

Fair enough is the argument that where else would you get information from...but you must realise that sensationalising an issue helps sell more copies and thats what the press is doing...sensationalising everything and in doing so is causing more damage than good. The issue here is of performance for the betterment of the game and of team india. This is paramount...and nothing must come inbetween this objective. Ganguly has done a wonderful job for the country (i have no doubt about it) but then chappel has a point too. You must realise for yourself when is the right time to step down so that someone else may do better to uplift team India. its sad to note that not everyone thinks of it in a positive way and most of all the top cricket players have got used to this idea of being in the "comfort zone". If i have to give credit when its due its to chappel for erradicating this ailment. After all the team has only 12 players and India can and has produced many more international class players who have come and gone unnoticed because of the fear the selectors and board have to drop the existing few. From my personal point of view chappel is doing the right thing by increasing the bench strength of the indian team and if by doing that he is getting rid of the players settling into their comfort zone so be it. In the end he may be australian but me myself being a coach and a cricket crazy fan its impossible to coach a team with hidden agendas because if you are not passionate about what you do you do nothing and go nowhere. If team india finally turns out to be the best team in the world it will be because of the brave few who have caught the sleeping others by their balls and made them look at themselves in a different light. Now the few who dont like being squeezed by their balls will react but then if it is the best for indian cricket i would castrate them. As for the press i wish the Indian system could allow for someone to mash their balls to pulp specially those who are desperate to increase their circulations. sorry for the language have a good day Hello Guys,

Chappel's intentions are right.. but he wants things to happen too soon. now that both of them got a chance, i hope they will think about it, forget it and concentrate on cricket. we have a long, tough year.. with sachin back, everything will be alright. iam anti-ganguly!!! i think if he is replaced by badani or someone, we can get our winning form back in odis..

i think BCCI made a good decision by giving a chance to both ganguly and greg!!

these sort of things never happened when wright was there.. so there is a very good chance that it was Greg who took the ‘quit cqptaincy’ thing out of the dressing room.

i dont believe that ganguly is afraid of facing fast bowlers.. the melbourne thing was a very brave thing to do.. moreover he likes opening in odis.. if he was scared, he couldve hid in the middle order and take on the slower bowlers.

we have a long, tough year..

with sachin back, everything will be alright.

But that is again a different issue.You can't defend Chappel anyway in this case.Ganguly was wronged.Chappel as a coach instead of dragging him out from trouble pushed Ganguly into it. I read an article published in Times(posted at digit forums).It really shows that Chappel should be fired immediately.

Even on Aaj tak, they carried a poll in which 70% of the people were against Ganguly... Apart from Ganguly Chappell issue I personally feel that Ganguly needs some good rest from captainship...if you see his past record and compare the same with the present one then you will find drastic change in his performance... If you check <a href="http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/india/content/player/28779.html">his stats</a> and compare the same with other first class players like Tendulkar, Dravid etc...You will find the difference clearly There are many cases where team plays well in the beginning and suddenly if someone gets out then whole team crumbles.... Ganguly comes to bat and plays very slow...he plays defensive...... I know he is not in form but for how long? I know he did very good for Indian team and played very well in the past but what about now? How many chances are needed? If sachin is not playing well then why do we need him also? The selection must be on the current records...not past...who cares of anyone has scored many 100s in past but doesn’t score a single 50 in present...that too after giving many chances....
