Even the two hundreds that Ganguly got in the 2003 WC were against associate nations. He was still really good compared to the other duds that opened with Sachin before 1998, but I feel Gambhir had more impact than Ganguly 3 hours ago, Trichromatic said: This is a myth that boundaries are smaller. Boundaries were smaller earlier also, it's just that modern day batsmen are better hitters. If you feel XYZ are better than ABC, go ahead and vote then. Why the results are 10-0? Link to comment
