dibyabttb Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 When all is going well, we are the best, we will win everything . (aka in the first 2 weeks or remember that pathetic post on how Pune can still quality few days back) When all is going bad, we are an unfortunate team, we have no luxury, we have worst squad/team, we this or that. Your excuses I guess has no end. Come on! Every team and their fans do that.
someone Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 Come on! Every team and their fans do that. It might be okay to do that after a single match. But if you continue to do that till the season end on how unfortunate your team and how the team just performed with the available weak resources. Then, those are some pathetic losers. Also Minding the fact, that even weaker teams whom have performed better than PWI, PWI have only themselves to blame and Ganguly was the key problem.
broken_wings Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 What bothers me about Ganguly's captaincy is that he's sticking with the same players who failed repeatedly. No faith on benched players ? As a captain if you don't trust and try others apart from "selected players", then how can you formulate best combo ?!

This used to happen during KKR times too..The impression conveyed was.. Ganguly is the 'wronged guy'. He's fighting against all odds. Nobody in the team is helping him. He's trying his best but can't do much as all others are failing... He's the 'cornered tiger'.. all others are out there to 'trap & kill this cornered tiger'.. :hatsoff: to Gayrukh though. The guy's not a businessman and was taken for ride..But he took some pretty bold decisions.. I mean to take on the mafia king in his own den and to kick him out from there, takes some courage...

THIS. I've never quite understood this argument. John Buchanan wasn't the coach in IPL 2010. WTH did Ganguly do with the team then?
diga Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 http://www.hindustantimes.com/sports-news/chunk-ht-ui-ipl2012-dontmiss/Chinks-in-the-armour/Article1-853338.aspx When Pune Warriors returned to the hotel that's been their home for nearly two months for a five-night stay last time around - on April 22 after surprising Delhi Daredevils in Delhi the previous night - they were greeted in the lobby like victorious warriors returning home, with the hotel staff and the fans treating them like heroes. Mood change Cut to Sunday, the day after the Warriors returned after losing the high-profile clash in Kolkata - their fifth successive loss - and the mood in the hotel had changed, with the staff doing their work and the fans disappearing from the lobby. If the loss against KKR - it virtually ruled them out of the race for the playoffs - turned the mood sombre, the defeat against Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday left the Warriors looking to salvage a win or two from the last three matches to avoid finishing last on the points tally. It also left the team zone resembling a graveyard. Deserted lobby The morning after the match, the lobby had no autograph-seekers. Neither were there murmurs among other guests about the cricketing stars they met over breakfast. In fact, despite it being an off day, hardly any Warriors player came out of his rooms. And within the confines of their rooms, though some preferred to keep mum or engage themselves with their Playstations, others were busy back-biting their teammates. The sense that one got was that the six successive defeats had started taking a toll beyond the boundary. With each of the six successive losses, team unity seems to have become more and more irrelevant. Such was the division in the unit that some of the overseas cricketers had no hesitation criticising their skipper-mentor Sourav Ganguly. Cracks visible "I was told by a senior not to join the team that was controlled by this man. I don't know why I didn't listen to him. There is no way I am going to join this team again," a seasoned overseas player told his friend. While the foreign players had no hesitation going after their skipper, mainly for being "inconsistent with team selection", domestic cricketers, just like most of the fans, were wondering whether the team had any local connect. "It's not KKR, but this is the real team from Bengal," a member of the squad, requesting anonymity, said sarcastically. "We haven't given an opportunity to any of the Pune players. But when it comes to blooding youngsters from Bengal, even the performers have to face the axe. And then there are some who are backed to the hilt, irrespective of how they have fared." At whose expense? The domestic player was obviously hinting at the inclusion of Anustup Mujumdar in place of Manish Pandey. If at all a youngster deserved to make his debut, it should have been at the expense of Mithun Manhas and not Pandey. But more than one selection, virtually every member of the team seems to be fuming over something or the other. Will they be able to put up a united front in the remaining three games?

asterix Posted May 10, 2012 Posted May 10, 2012 :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: As expected.. Confusions galore over Ganguly's participation in last three games PUNE: The Pune Warriors management in all likelihood will have a brainstorming team meeting on the eve of their IPL clash against Royal Challengers Bangalore in order to decide Sourav Ganguly's fate during the remainder of the tournament. The bone of contention will be whether Ganguly, who has gone through a torrid time both as a batsman as well as a skipper, will sit out of last three encounters of Warriors. Team sources said the management wants the former India captain to take a call on his future in the remaining three matches. "If Ganguly himself offers to step down from captaincy and decides to sit out for the remaining three games, the owners will certainly be only too happy to accommodate. The general feeling is that, they have lost with Ganguly at helm and with new players, it can't get worse," a senior IPL official in the know of things said. :hysterical: In case Ganguly doesn't play, there is a possibility that Aussie Michael Clarke or find-of-the-season Steve Smith will lead the side. Having lost nine out of their 13 matches under his captaincy, which has come under scanner for some debatable team selections, Ganguly's own batting form has also deserted him in this edition. With 261 runs from 13 games at a strike-rate of shade over 100 and fielding which is at least a few notches below the standard set in a competition like IPL, the soon-to-be 40 Ganguly has struggled to fit himself to demands of the shortest version. "The Warriors management may be resorting to a "wait and watch" policy as their officials are finding it difficult to go up and confront Ganguly over his team selections," the official added. Some of the decisions made by Ganguly which have come under scanner include Bangladeshi opener Tamim Iqbal not getting a single game despite being the top-scorer during Asia Cup with four back-to-back half centuries. Also T20 specialist Alphonso Thomas being repeatedly ignored in favour of West Indian Marlon Samuels who did precious little with the bat or ball after first three games. India international Rahul Sharma got dumped after being clobbered for five consecutive sixes but the feeling among the domestic players is how and why likes of Rahul and Manish Pandey are getting repeatedly ignored to favour likes of Mithun Manhas who is not known to finish off games. :hysterical: Last but not the least is Ganguly's own form. Whether at the top or in the middle-order, one of India's finest captain looked totally out of sorts having played lot of dot balls in all the matches. It all depends on whether an honourable exit route could be worked out for this ageing stalwart who in his prime has given a lot to Indian cricket. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/sports/cricket/ipl-2012/news/Confusions-galore-over-Gangulys-participation-in-last-three-games/articleshow/13079923.cms
