And what about sachin and dravid... I think now they should also retire.
The forthcoming Australia series will answer a lot of questions.
The question a lot of people are asking right now seems to be 'have any such 'phasing-out process' deals been struck with the other 3 players too.. the conspiracy theorists seem to think that Laxman will be next followed by Dravid, keeping the best for the last..
Good move by ganguly. Dravid and laxman will next definately. Sachin ?? ...any comments.
Quite a few of his fans would like him to retire from tests after breaking Laras record of most test runs and from one-dayers after the upcoming world cup... as for T-20 maybe another 20 years.. of course he will be player-for-life in the mumbai IPL team ;-)
According to me whenever a player is playing a good game continuous for 4-5 years, is the best time to retire.
Imagine senior players like saurao, rahul, sachin are scoring runs in between 50 -70- 100 form past 3-years , wining world cup and announcing " RETIREMENT" at that time on the ground itself with the cup in hand ..... Will always be remembered as a best players.
instead of people saying from back and media saying to leave the game..
After making a smashing comeback in England tour of 1996 by slamming two back to back centuries,he made his place permanent in the indian team.Termed as only next to GOD because of his OFF Side play,he revelled in ODIs and Tests.One thing which we all would associate with Saurav ganguly is that he was the person who changed the indian team mentality during his tenure as captain.Before him,the captains were less aggressive(Azhar/Sachin).With the help of emerging youngsters,he gave team india the much needed aggression.
I wish his career ends on a perfect note,By Giving it Right to the very team who agonised us when we were DOWN Under.
BTW which performances of Saurav do you remember the most?
