Does Ganguly merit a place in Indian test side as a batsman alone?

[Arjun]

He has just played 3 matches. Form has nothing to do with captaincy. Look at Ricky Ponting. his batting has been just as good. IF you see him get out for more low scores, what would you say? And what great thing has Ganguly done as captain? Square series against minnow teams?

Hasn't anyone actually made the connection between Dravid's decision to declare with Sachin on 194* and defeat in the second test?

Tendulkar, distraught at missing out on a double century and still blaming the Flying Scotsman, comes into the Lahore test match determined that his old mate The Most Exulted And Regal Left-handedness Ganguly will be recalled as captain at the earliest opportunity.

Oh yes. There's more to this than meets the eye. Those scores of 2 and 8 were more than a coincidence - I know my ****ney rhyming slang. Yes, Indian cricket's in quite a 'two and eight' at the moment.

How irresponsible! He's just playing for himself. That does not explain the batting failures, but the bowling, with Agarkar, would look weak.
