Sourav justifies faith, gives middle order spine



Vengsarkar who I had thanked in my last blog after the one day series can clearly see the positives he has bequeathed to india by his selection of Ganguly and Kartik, while prince of calcutta is now becoming Emperor of Indian cricket, Kartik must be pushing Dhoni very strongly now. With Yuvraj to be declared fit soon, axe is due to fall on some great names now.

Ganguly has made Guru Greg & Dravid look really stupid. Dravid is not a patch as a captain as Ganguly was, that we lost the final test in SA is ample testimony to Dravid's incompetence, Guru Greg's failed experiments and Dravids inertia have done a greater harm to Indian cricket than anything else. Careers of Pathan, Sehwag, Kaifs and Rainas have been strangulated, Sachin Tendulkar is looking a ghost of what he used to be.

My view is instead of dropping such talented players and maestro Tendulkar it is better to deport guru Greg down under and reinstate Ganguly as one day captain. Ganguly has it in him to make Sehwag & Tendulkar fire and Yuvraj & Pathan will blossom under him.

So Colonel Vengsarkar, you have got it right so far, go on the course that's right...make Ganguly the one day captain and get the world cup home... or let's say bye bye world cup till 2011.
