I knew someone was going to pick on this.

[Andy]

Whatever he was, but as a player with Limited talent he achieved much much more than so our So Called Ultra Talented Youngistan can dream of now. 10 k ODI runs is a Distant dream for most.

dadaaaaaaaaaaa. God of offside. :adore: Ganguly leading the team. :woot:

[Texy]

Go Dada! Can't wait to see him again on the field!

Whatever he was' date=' but as a player with Limited talent he achieved much much more than so our So Called Ultra Talented Youngistan can dream of now. 10 k ODI runs is a Distant dream for most.[/quote'] Very true. I never was a big fan of his during his playing days, but can appreciate things he did now given how inconsistent and useless most of the new gaize are.

Very true. I never was a big fan of his during his playing days' date=' but can appreciate things he did now given how inconsistent and useless most of the new gaize are.[/quote'] He was measured along with players like RD, SRT, Laxman. I say he is much beter than the players pak had during his playing days. I mean batsman only.
