Bade beabaroo hoker tere kuche se hum nikale

If they say doom let it be doomed. Well what a pity a glorious south paw caught in sheer poliics involving some senior players. Selectors have just made Dravid as Captain of Test Team. Lets analyse the performance of this player in the overseas match played by him during his captainship. I am not involving Zimbawbe and Kenya as people will say that they are weaker opponents.

India against SRL in 2001 in Srilanka.India lost 2-1.
In this series he was adjudged man of the match in 2nd test match.
3 matches, 166 total runs, 98* highest ,average 33.20 and 2 wickets.
One more thing about this series Sachin was not playing and basically B team was playing.

India against South Africa 2001 in SAF. India lost 1-0
In this series the famous mike denice controversy involving sachin appeared.
2 matches, 90 total runs, 42* highest, average 30.00. Sourav failed in this series.

India against West Indies in WI in 2002. India lost 2-1.
He performed brilliantly.
5 matches, 322 total runs, 75* highest, average 53.66.

India against England in England in 2002. Series drawn 1-1.
He performed brilliantly.
4 matches, 351 total runs, 128* highest, average 58.50*.

India in Newzealand in NZL in 2003. India lost 2-0.
Whole team india failed including sachin, dravid and other top guns.
2 matches, 29 total runs, 17 highest, 7.25 average.

India in Australia in Australia in 2003-04. Series drawn 1-1
He played really good cricket.
4 matches, 284 total runs, 144 highest, 47.33 average.

India in Pakistan in Pakistan in 2004. Series won 2-1. he played in last match.
he played brilliantly in only match he played.
1 match, 77 total runs, 77 highest, average 77.00

This is his batting record overseas. In his capatainship he played 21 matches (not including bangladesh and Zimb).
His record is really very good.
Match 21, 1319 total runs , 144 vs Aus highest, average 42.55, 2 wickets.

Who say he played badly against quality opposition overseas. Yet he has been deprived of the captainship of Test team. Any one listening.

Great Indian Mindset

Well, Some body forced me to write this post. Enough questions have been raised on my Patriotic syndrome. As i written in the mail i dont require a certificate from so called ill mind Indians so that i can show that i am a patriot. I am not that one. Another thing to analyse anything is my democratic right as bestowed on my Indian Constitution.
Well, its always been a proud thing to be a fan of Sourav Ganguly. I know some sports men whom i consider my ideal icon, Lance Armstrong, Jesse Owens, Andre Agassi , Rahul and none other than ur not so favourite Ganguly.
I never hated Dravid, i always admired him, but to some aspect his is too polite. I dont even consider Sachin in that league. Please forgive me. But that doesnot say that I hate Sachin. Even if i do hat doesnt make any difference. Great kudos to sharma Mukesh Kumar for writing his thoughts. A advice to him he should reconsider the spelling of Captain. He spelled it wrongly throught out the mail.
Finally Congratulations Team India for winning a one sided affair. As i am not a patriot as from you side. We will be back in the next match at Chennai.

Why I admire Sourav Ganguly

Well Many of my friends asked me why i have putted ganguly pic in my Orkut profile. I have very tranquiling answers for them.
Consider a person who is about to show his talent to the world and at that time he is forced to live miserably for some 5 golden years, the same person after those years make a come back rather heroic comeback, made two glorious centuries on the swinging wickets in first two chances, and after showing 5 years of heriosm he gets the award of highest order, and after some 5 golden years of his leadership period he is again forced to live miserably and yet he is trying very hard to make a come back.
What an attitude and i am a fan of this attitude. I agree he played miserably last year, but in that miserably year too he had an average of 32.50 in one dayers.
One more thing people ofetn speak that ganguly usually make centuries against weaker opponents like kenya he scored 3, i would like to tell them that the likes of Sachin Tendulkar also scored centuries against Kenya and the number is 4.
One important factor is ot of 22 centuries scored by ganguly indian had won 18 matches. So what an excellent winning percentage while sachin is too far behind.
I dont want to compare the two, but some buddy has to do the dirty work.
Well hoping the disaster for India in Banglore , 19th November. South Africa will win this match.

Great cheers to the society known as Jamghat, that looks after these boys. They performed a great street play in BayPackets just before this Diwali. May we all have some to time to devote in making their life comfortable 

Sourav, a man with tons of attitude

Well,
Congratulations Sourav for remarkable display of determination, energy, class and attitude agains NorthZone team in Duleep Trophy match. Look at man, who did nothing wrong, Indian won the overseas Test series ( well people will say minnows), but can any body tell me that this minnow country has defeated us in a test series in Zimwabve it self. What he got, He lost his captainship, a place in India Team, This is a shame for indian cricket, Ganguly who had just one bad year with his bat lost his place and captainship, Why no body wants to talk about Tendulkar, Who performed badly during his captainship, We indians dont want any body who wants to raise. So bad luck India, bad luck Indian Cricket Team, Ganguly you deserve better farewell than this. Good luck to you future...I guess I am not alone in this..
