Will Ganguly Repay the Debt of Dravid the Great?

[King]

It is not some kind of repaying debt is it :wink_smile: It is a sport mate, it is not like you think you are going to do something and it just happens. That only suits fairy tales and this ain't a fairy tale.

I know...Gangu cant be a hero in the fairy tale as well :banghead: Gangu yaar please Ek din ka raja ban jaaa tu..... Tendu ko mar goli....Gangu Jindabad.

Many a times in the Past.."captain" ganguly relied heavily on Dravid to score runs for him...and he obliged him on most occasions.. Now the tide has turned..Now The Rahul Dravid is the captain of Team india.. will Ganguly show his worth and justify his selection in the team as pure batsman..and score runs tomorrow....nothing less than 80-90 will do ...

I thought all players play for the country. So if they have any debts, that should be to the country and the fans, not to another player. When RD scored big under SG, he did it for India. Now SG has been performing reasonably well under RD -- once again, for India.

if Ganguly saves this game with his batting..... i will personally go to his house...and ask for his forgiveness... but if he fails yet again..then..

well all players play for the country, but couple of points 1. Ganguly has to continue to play selflessly without politics extending his full cooperation to RD, the captain. This is what people mean by paying back RD 2. some of the ganguly fans seem to forget about the fact that everyone plays for India when they harped on how SG did RD a great favour by including him in the ODI team and on top of it some of my SG fan friends even mentioned how RD is a traitor in not paying back SG for that favour.

What a load of sh*t that is. Dravid was in the ODI XI on merit, not because of Ganguly.

So you think a lie often told will eventually become the truth, eh? Keep trying!

Eggjacktly Predator....People who say RD was not in the team becos of merit and SG did a huge "favor" for RD are making the kind of statement that you have described well. It is 100% credit to RD for adapting brilliantly to the ODI game.

Would not go that far. But he is seriously over rated and should have retired about 3 years ago. He should not be in the team. He should retire and I have said this for ages

Its less a matter of merit than a matter of selectorial decision making that had deemed Dravid useless in the odi version of the game before the 2003 WC. It was definitely SG who fought the selectors to have RD in the side as a wk-batsman since the five wise men had decided against RD the pure batsman in the team. So full credit to SG.

The most fluent innings of the day, however, came from Ganguly. His footwork was decisive, his leaving outside the off stump was assured and his timing impeccable. While Tendulkar faced Sidebottom almost exclusively through the morning session, Ganguly took over the scoring at the other end, dealing mainly in boundaries between gully and extra cover. Michael Vaughan posted two gullys and two more men square of the wicket on the off side but Ganguly still eased balls into gaps and, when Panesar came, cover-drove and cut him exquisitely.
