Ganguly Not in Irani Cup! End of Road?


Once again the selectors have given room for everyone to talk about the career of former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly.

He is not sure why should he be the victim? Why is he always? It all started with the rift between him and former Indian coach Chappell. He bounced back and got a place into both Test and ODI team.

He is one among the four who did not perform during the test series against Sri Lanka in 2008.

Should be really disappointing for him and his fans. Can he bounce back one more time? Is there enough time left for him to bounce back?

Though, the BCCI panel is going to change before the team selection for the Australian tour, but have to wait and see whether he will get his chance.

All the best Ganguly!

Ganguly and Warne Fined!


After a spat between Kolkata Knight Rider's captain Ganguly and Rajastha Royals skipper Shane Warne, both the players were fined 10% of their match fee.

Both the players have agreed for paying the penalty.

Match umpire GA Pratap Kumar has been suspended for a match because he listened to Ganguly for checking for the third umpire.

Warne takes on Ganguly!

Ganguly Hits Back at Warne!

They both are not happy with the decision of the IPL, but accepted the decision and ready to pay the fine.

It was said that Ganguly was not available to comment on the decison taken by IPL to penalize 10% match fee. He was in the nets with the rest of the team practicing for the match ahead.

Both the teams have agreed to put the issue aside and focus on the game. The team spokes person said that they have agreed to pay the fine and wanted to forget the incident.

Ganguly was fined for violating the code of conduct by forcing the umpire to ask for third umpire, when he was caught at deep midwicket by Smith. His version of the story was, he did not ask the umpire GA Pratap Kumar to refer third umpire. All he said was, the catch was not cleanly taken.

Shoaid to Play in IPL!

Shoaib Akhtar announced that he will play in Indian Premier League despite his ban in playing cricket in Pakistan or for playing Pakistan.

We have to wait and see whether he will be eligble to play because Pakistan Cricket Board has banned him for 5 from playing for Pakistan or in Pakistan.

Only yesterday, Shoaib had claimed that the willingness of the Knight Riders to play him confirmed there were no disciplinary issues. "If I had been so indisciplined and had an attitude problem as the Pakistan board claims do you think that Shahrukh Khan or [Sourav] Ganguly would want me to play for their team in the IPL," Shoaib said.

Good luck Shoaib!
