Before someone calls me a cynic like Randikrishna
let me tell you that no patriotic indian will like
the way Ganduly treated Agarkar yesterday. I mean,
Agarkar was a bowler in form and he preferred to
give the ball to a part time bowler Bangar.

I think success has gone into the head of this bong
chut Ganduly. I hope we get our ass kicked in NZ and
it will prove that all his success as a captain was a
fluke.

Devdas.
ps: the ball to Richardson which was dropped by Tukka
VVSL was a peach of a ball.

Gosh, some of you regionalistic Indians make me sick.

hmmm
AA no wickets in 8 overs in conducive circumstances, what's more, he goes at
4.5 an over defending 160 !
But the unsung Bangar who doesn't bowl faster than 140 all the time and
breathe fire, takes 2 top order wickets at an econ < 2.
And you decide to hate Ganguly and Bangar out of these three ? You have
nothing to say about AA's pathetic bowling undermining the team cause ?

I think I have discovered the truth. These days Ganguly is able to judge
very fast whether it is a good or bad day for AA, so he takes him off fast
or squeezes what he can out of him.

Dude, wake up. Against a small total, you can earn the right to long spells
in three ways  -either you threaten and strike early, or you bottle up the
runs so it's OK to keep you going, or the others suck so much you get to
bowl.

None of the 3 happened so AA is rightfully patrolling the outfield where he
has undeniably earned the right and performed very well.

Another thing, no captain would tolerate AA for so many matches and series
as Ganguly has. Even if his hand was forced for the having him in the squad
(as you seem to imply), he would not pick  the leper in the XI. Ganguly
really stands behind AA but that is not enough, AA also has some
responsibility. But "part time bowler" Bangar is soon making him outdated.
Imagine, without glamor, backing of SRT, pace, nothing, Bangar has risen to
a positoin of trust and responsibility for his captain and coach. What does
that say about him and AA - he gives better blow jobs ??

Say what you like, performance is performance. Nothing can conceal it at the
end of the day.

jai <sheesh>

I said in my earlier post that it was strange Agarkar didn't get an
opportunity earlier.  What I omitted to say was that he bowled badly when
finally given the chance.

But yes, I don't understand why he's in the team if he's not going to be
given a bowl.
