kablooee87 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Very irresponsible comments from Ganguly. Personally speaking, it reflects badly on him as he's seen as taking pot shots while being pushed out (so much for all that graceful exit business). On a team level, he's creating a big distraction at the beginning of a very important series. Link to comment
DomainK Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 karthik (only 4 tests) Bad choice.....Dhoni is a much better keeper. Karthik will remain a back up at best. Link to comment
DomainK Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I wonder what kind of comments he would be giving if he scores a century in this series. Link to comment
Predator_05 Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 "There are players who haven't scored in the last three series for India, even for the last one year." Rahul Dravid ? Hairstyle comment must be a reference to Uthappa. No one else screws around with their hair. Dhoni has been a run machine for India in the last year, so it can't be him. I don't blame him for making these comments but the timing was all wrong. He could have waited 'til the end of the series. Completely unnecessary. Link to comment

May be, but he made way for speculations by making that statement. Basically that was a bad statement. May be one given in a bad mood, but he should have been wiser than this. Link to comment
Lord Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Bad choice.....Dhoni is a much better keeper. Karthik will remain a back up at best. dont agree.dhoni just looks like a good keeper. he dives unnecessarily wen ball is near him. n wen he needs to dive he lets the ball go, making it look impossible wen it isnt. karthik is a gud keeper if u dont just look at srl series. as a package i'd have karthik anyday Link to comment
Sachinism Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 dont agree.dhoni just looks like a good keeper. he dives unnecessarily wen ball is near him. n wen he needs to dive he lets the ball go, making it look impossible wen it isnt. karthik is a gud keeper if u dont just look at srl series. as a package i'd have karthik anyday Atleast he catches the ball Yuvraj dives for no reason, is he any less of a fielder Link to comment
Dravid Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 karthik 'would ' have been a good keeper... but the transition from keeper to reg. fielder/opening fooked him up... right now, dhoni is the best we got, in both formats. Link to comment
Lord Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Atleast he catches the ball Yuvraj dives for no reason, is he any less of a fielder wen has yuvi dived 4 no reason. he has pulled out most amazing catches in da past(remember pollock in IPL),wich wudnt have been possible without diving.SO CANT COMPARE HIS FIELDING WID KEEPING OF DHONI. THEY R POLES APART Link to comment
Dirty_South Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 If it was indeed directed towards MSD, then F00k u Sourav Ganguly. :mad: Link to comment
satishg Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I think Sourav meant Uthappa not MSD..Uthappa is the one who was changing his hair style and was in the team doing nothing..MSD was accumulating runs like anything in the last one year in ODIs and he wasn bad either in the tests.. anyway Sourav doesn care about anything now..he has nothing to lose..he was always a big mouth and now that he has made his retirement public he will definitely not back down..

Sachinism Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 wen has yuvi dived 4 no reason. he has pulled out most amazing catches in da past(remember pollock in IPL)' date='wich wudnt have been possible without diving.SO CANT COMPARE HIS FIELDING WID KEEPING OF DHONI. THEY R POLES APART[/quote'] Yeh all of Dhoni's catches go straight to hand :hysterical: Yuvi can run up to the ball and catch it at times, but he holds back so he can dive for it Truthfully I don't care how he catches the ball as long as he catches it, which is the main thing Link to comment
DomainK Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Lets keep the Dhoni vs Karthik vs YS comments for some other thread. This one is about the wisdom of dada's comments. Link to comment
King Tendulkar Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Of course he meant Dhoni. Whats all this run machine stuff??? Dada meant tests, Dhoni has been far from a run machine in tests. As for Uthappa he has not been in test side so not sure why you think he meant him. It is quite clear dada was talking about tests here Link to comment

PaiN_KiLLeR Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 How stupid of Ganguly to attack his teammates via the media when the most important Test series is in progress. Link to comment
yoda Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 I think it is a tit-for-tat for the disparaging comments dhobi made about Seniors being slow, yada yada yada. Link to comment
Dark Warrior Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 i was very sad that dada is retiring but after his comments, i think.. " jo hota hai, achche ke liye hi hota hai!!" how foolish tht ganguly is commenting these things about his team mate (i dont care whoever he is, dhoni uthappa or someone else!) before such very important series....... huh!!

I've got plenty of cricket on my comp, I'd upload and show you, but most of it is in mp4 format and it too much work to edit Link to comment
