What the F has ganguly done ? I can’t stand the guy either. He is a politician , a fence sitter.  
 

Unfortunately we have come to associate financial success of IPL with success of BCCI, whereas it should be a distant second. The foremost success is when we with our resources, finances and talent should be super dominant in mopping up high profile ICC tournaments. We are a big zero there.

Very poor choice.

VVS is a obedient and unassuming. May be Ganguly wanted a yes man. 

 

Happens in power politics.

Of Ganguly, Sachin, Dravid, Kumble Laxman is my favorite.

I love these kind of posts. No holding back. Thankyou icf for giving us a forum

What about Munaf Patel & Ashish Nehra?

 

Nehra took no prisoners as slagged off Dhoni when he dropped catches. Patel had a sophisticated vibe about him.

[cricketfan28]

he did well with SRH so not a bad choice.

[New guy]

I really don't agree with the culture of rewarding all your friends. Is all indian positions going to be filled by players ganguly personally played with? 

 

It's a form of corruption

His mentality is still 1980s one. He loves defensive players and hates agressive ones

To put it into perspective, VVS is the SAME guy who was raving about Rahane's knock at half time during SF 2016 World T20.

 

I will never forget the disgust I had for him at that time.

 

How can such an amazing clutch batsman (you need to be a smart guy to win crucial games) be so poor as an analyst?

But then there was a time pre 2014 when Kohli was clutch and we saw how he made his decisions when appointed the captain.

 

So I take back my statement lol.

Why can't they someone professional!

He was the one who went public with his criticism of Pujara and Rahane during the recent England series. He even said Rahane needed to be dropped. But then obviously what he said 5 years back matters more.

Wholeheartedly agree.

 

All I hear him say is that batsmen need to "express themselves". Whatever that means.

 

Extremely annoying, makes even Sanjay Manjrekar tolerable.

Yes as if VVS has never done commentary and we dont know what his views generally are.
