| ![]() I am going to watch this test series to see Ganguly play. One of the best captains India has ever seen. After the betting scandal that rocked world cricket, Ganguly proved his worth by captaining the side and bringing glory to India. He himself is a firm believer in the young brigade and nutured some brilliant players to come good at the top most level. His fixated glare from under that helmet, the offside shots which probably were the most beautiful strokes ever will be missed. Thank you Saurav Ganguly you served the Indian Cricket to the best of your abilities, you will forever be known for your grit and determination and ofcourse your never die spirit. |

| ![]() Yes, Ganguly will be remembered for his 'Give it back to the opponent' attitude, for his captaincy and his offside shots. His best Test innings, probably, being the counter attacking hundred at Brisbane during the '04 series. Thank You Sourav Ganguly, for your service to the Indian cricket and all the best for your last series. |

When Sachin scored last 2-3 centuries extending the numbers, Ponting was telling that the gap has grown highlighting that he was behind that record. Hope sachin maitains the 4 no gap at the end of this series ![]() | |

![]() Its a boring batting pitch. Saw half an hour in morning and this match will draw (only the gr8 indian collapse can get the result out of this one) ![]() Quote:
If he is injury free am hoping atleast 2 centuries in this series from him! And ya am a gr8 fan of pontings batting myself. (not when he plays against india like today though) | ||

| ![]() The difference between the two teams is their skippers. While Ponting scored a fabulous century, Kumble had been thoroughly ineffective. Not only he has not bowled any wicket-taking delivereis but he is also dishing out lots of rubbish, making scoring easy for the aussies. For last 2-3 series this has been the story for him, he takes some cheap lower order wickets and ensures his place in the team. There had been lots of hue and cry over the 4 veteran batsmen but hardly any over Kumble. Time for him to bow out as well I guess. \N |

Yep, Ganguly will be remembered as the captain who gave a backbone to the team. Regarding the current test match, Sehwag got to bowl the last over before lunch and cricinfo commentator says: "Sehwag gets the ball. At least he spins the ball." LOL. | |
