Seniors

The main reason India won was because of the way the young unit fielded. Rohit Sarma stopped at least 4 boundaries and may have saved a total of 40 runs on the field. Seniors or no seniors a chase of 280 would have been almost impossible. It is time to move on. The selectors should be congratulated for a courageous decision.

Will like to know is he a good Cricket captain who pass comments like 1. They should play and not we should play2. Goes overboard praising a player3. Say I would have run better than my runner4. Stare at the umpire from behind the wickets when he declares not out5. Say they(openers/middleorder) did not play well Dont you think he should go for some captain communication classes or be sacked

Sourav and Sachin were/are great players but at the same time they cannot be at the same playing level throughout their career. There comes a point in time that they should leave or retire before they get axed and then whine they are better than the players in their place. I was laughing when I read the interview given by Sourav where he says he was surprised at this dropping. That is the ridiculous. If anyone goes back and looks at the last 2 to 3 years he and Sachin have played few good innings when team needed. I don't mean scoring hundreds when batting first and team wins. That is not pressure situation. They have never scored when it mattered or when the team needed the most. Dravid, Laxman, Yuviraj (i.e. until this series) and Dhoni have scored when the team needed them the most and that too many times. So, people should stop saying that Sourav should be back. I would rather have Laxman and/or Dravid in spite of their slow scoring as they can stop a collapse and keep the game within control

The repeated failure of the top order and the amateurish dismissals of yet to mature Rohit Sharma proves that Ganguly is still indispensible to this one day team
