Just as i said; Saurav Ganguly is the captain again.... :rule: lets hope india does well again under his captaincy :beer:
A man is caught in a traffic jam, when suddenly someone taps on the window of his car. He lowers the window and asked what he wants. The man says, "Indian Cricket Team is kidnapped and the ransom is 50 million dollars. If the ransom is not paid, the kidnappers have threatened to douse the Team with Petrol and set them on fire. We are taking up a collection, do you wish to contribute?" The man in the car asks, "On an average what are people donating?" The other man replies, "About 5 to 10 litres...."
^^^ yeah i know...and i was expecting some one would say that.... even though his record is good......he has wrecked the coordination of the team... and he has a very bad attitude
how so? The only time in the I can remember India having done really well was when he was in the team and captain. How can he have wrecked co-ordination?
i totally agree with you ...that he is a good captain....but attitude wise....he sucks i read reports in the newspaper(i wish i could show you the source but i read all this over a long perod of time) that he is egoistic and has prejudice over his team members. And it was when he joined the team....the era of " playing for self and not for the team / country " started.
true.. i heard that too..but as u said its a history now.. it happened years ago when he just became the captain.. he has alerady passed 5 odd years... look how much we have gained under his leadership.... :beer:
I disagree. I think it's the other way around. I've personally found the current lot to be utterly selfless in terms of personal records being set. Certain allowances are given but usually it is the team which comes first. This was not so in earlier times. Yes, the newspapers say that he is egoistic and I am sure what they say is perfectly true because the newspapers are so tremendously accurate about spicy gossip in our part of the world....but who's asking you to like him as a person. He gels with the team....we do not need him to gel with Barkha Dutt or Nagma. The team is 100% behind him as is obvious from the comments you get to read and that is what is important. SO maybe he is an arrogant son of a bitch off the field...it's his life, why should we care? It is his on the field efforts that should be in the limelight. Not everyone can be a Sachin Tendulkar really.
I strongly beleive Ganguly is the best fit for captaincy. And he has got stats to prove it. And may be the attitude thats so much talked about is somehow needed for team India. The way the game is played now a days , it sure helps if u got an aggressive captain. And he is the only one who can get aggressive in the game . lets forget about off field attitude ... what matters is that we should win matches and I think under his captaincy we can ......
@bjr hey if you are having an argument about this whole thing ....then sorry to say it dosent have any end. and i am out of it..but if we are having a disscusion...then read on... its not about likes or dislikes its about how long will he be able to do that. good players like vinod kambli lost there place in the cricket team because of there off the field attitude. bill clinton was to be impeached because of his personal life.... and fu<k the media people...they can only maginfy a news ...there has to be some thing wrong about ganguly on which they can thrive...so if you meant that the media dosnt like him thats why he is unpopular...thats bullsh!t... the team is 100% behind him because of the fear factor and his aggressiveness this is not a war in which you need that sort of attitude....its a game it has to be played with stratigy and a cool head...he is able to generate a vicious cycle in the minds on his players....which gives him some instant performance .....because of which indian players have lost consistency.....as compared to the earlier times. the privacy in the life of public figures is a topic of debate one cannot state which where to draw the line .....you cant make such a comment!!
