It is too much. I think the captancy in this tender age made Dhoni arrogant or jealous and over confident and he is trying to make a group of players loyal to him. At least Sourav deserves a diescent retirement. As aplayer and as a captain he gave great contribution to his team. Remeber the fact he is number four in the list of one day run makers list. just below sachin, inzamam and jayasurya. He is performing very good in recent odi's even better than any other batsman even sachin. He proved himself he is a fearless fighter. Some may suspect I am from Culcutta, but not. I became a fan of him after his comeback. Hats's off man. keeps your heads up. You are really great.

It is the question,why? India have to include both young and experienced players... Young players are the most plus point of any team...so we have to build a team with young talents..For this we have to programme deep searches through out the country... But At the same time there is an important role for experienced veteran stars...They give the inpiration and experience to the young also... So we have to made a team with giving importance to this facts...

Hello,kitendra! Ganguly at present ,no doubt doing well with bat but it was basically his fielding and running between the wickets was the problem for which the selectors opted for youngster in his place.the selectors went along with Dhoni's judgement,and after consultation with Anil Kumble,to pick a young squad with a major focus on fielding abilities because the bigger grounds in Australia requires strong throwing arms and swift movers.it meant Ganguly find no place in the squad selected for the ODI and 20 twenty matches in Australia.good luck to Team India.thank you.

Write now the cricket is not a game of cricket it becomes a political game. What ever the BCCI want to do. Look saurav bhai is playing very well from he have come back even that he kicked out from the ODI. Is it fare ? Place in the team should be in their performace basis but in india BCCI is doing nothing....

He is not considered to be fully fit and brilliant fielder that is why he is dropped along with Dravid. I would like to ask BCCI to explain the silly reason of keeping Sachin in the team as he dropped at least 3 catches and let 4-5 boundaries scored on his sloppy fielding.
