dear Millan Tripathy.. is not about Bengal..he has been played for India, so he is an Indian…try to think in broad way, can you find a true Indian in India? No, we are divided by Marathi, Gujarathi..south Indian..bla bla bla…

trust me we dont hate sachin or dravid. In fact calcutta is just as crazy about sachin as mumbai is. but yes we WILL go to any length to prove that Sourav’s a legend because that’s just the bloody truth, mate. There are no two ways to it.

The success that Ganguly had in Aus and Eng in 2002 and 2003 is because of kumble who picked wkts.//
Then the success of Dhobi’s was due to players performance.. U better know t stats and learn what cricket is.

For all the knowledgeless slaves of Sourav Ganguly here are the stats that will shut your mouths forever. The test matches that india won in England and australia are because of these two guys Dravid and Kumble. Remember the headingly test 148 dravid on seaming track.he was also the MOM. Kumble took 7 wkts in that match. Again in aus adelaide..dravid scored 233 and 75 ot out to win test match where ganguly contribution was nothing in that match. Kumble and agarkar took 6 wkts to win that match. By the way kumble took 24 wkts in that series.

Dhoni as a captain does not have the luxury of kumble to win in england and aus but Dhoni has won series in west indies and new zealand without gr8 bowlers like kumble and srinath where as ganguly was whitewashed by new zealand in 2002 with kumble and srinath and ganguly was also the captain where india lost to west indies 2-1 with kumble and srinath.

ranajoy–reading this article is a pleasure. it was well constructed
with facts and analysis. sometimes i feel ganguly was extremely under
rated as a test batsman–and honestly speaking except Dravid, and
laxman, only he ensured test wins for india. unfortunately sachins
brilliance never worked to record a test win. i can remember ganguly,s
match-winning 98 n.o against srilanka under tremendous pressure. the
most impressive fact was his strike rate in tests. often it was better
than tendulkar,dravid and laxman. his centuries in debu series against
England, saved India from a disastrous 3-0 loss. he was not selected in
the first test, and India lost. even parash mamre, and sunil joshi
played that test!! his 144 against australia set the tone for the series
–and India drew 1-1 with the most powerful australian side with the
lights of hayden, langer, ponting, martin, mark and steve waugh,
gilchrist, mcgrath, warne, lee etc. still most of the times his records
were not recognised–and often it was deliberately done.

thanks a lot for your article. which inspires me to share my view in this context.

priya if you look at the stats you will find, it was agarkar who was the most successful against australia, and harbhajan against england under ganguly in the relevant series. unfortunately you are not aware of this facts. however this is not at all unexpected from a msd fan, whose test records in overseas as a batsman and a captain was horrible.

Hi priya… Ganguly shown the way how to win in abroad … in indian 75 cricket ganguly got the best captain award. i dont agree with ur points.. Dhoni has taken wrong decisions in 2011 world cup.except final match… dhoni always luck favour person.. he is a worst keeper in the world .no doubt about it.. Sachin great player but he is not a gud captian… if ganguly wouldnt accept captaincy..surely he can reach sachin records..no doubt about it.. and one more thing..am not a bengali..as a indian i am talking about Ganguly(Legend)

bullshit article, this shows how bengali hate guys like tendulkar, dravid and can go to any extent to prove ganguly is a so called “legend”,
