T20 is basically an youngster game. A guy with grey hairs is bound to fail.

Dravid is much better player and has a better human and cricket spirit than ganguly/

He should retire.

Answer 14

He's not compatible with Twenty20 format.

Answer 15

yeah he should retire from odis and t20 format and concentrate on tests

Answer 16

Since Ganguly is an Icon player, I do not think he can be fired.

Answer 17

Ganguly is one of the successful captain & he have played his best innings for Indian Cricket. We can't neglect him.

Who is King Khan to retire him or fire him. Only Ganguly himself have the right to retire by himself. As we have to appreciate his willingness, he have struggled for his forms, no one have supported him, but he have fighted and came back in Ausrala seris. On basis of some failures we can't ignore his best contributions. As i think, now a days peoples don't remember the success' they only criticise the failures.

Answer 18

hey yaar never say a batsman's or a players future by seeing only 2 or 3 or 4 matches.......i'm saying that ganguli should not retire.....he'll *** back.......i'm sure........during the tour of australia or south africa it was only him who bated excellently when all others failed to da the same except laxman........so i'm saying that "DON'T DECIDE A PLYER'S OR A BATSMAN'S OR A BOWLER'S FUTURE BY SEEING HIS/HER ONLY 1 OR 2 OR 3 PERFOMANCE"I'm sure that ganguli or bengal tiger will sure *** back......There is no need of ganguli to retire.

Answer 19

HI,

I guess yes .. he should retire..But Watch out  he is a man of Comebacks....

Cheers

Answer 20

No, He should not retire. Reasons :-

It's finally official- The Prince of Bengal is back. The intense speculation over the last couple of days has finally been put to rest. Ganguly will join the Indian team in South Africa for the test series scheduled to begin on December 15. Ganguly I'm sure must feel extremely vindicated with this decision. After being uncermoniously dropped from the Indian Squad at the beginning of the year, about 9 months ago, the selectors had made it quite clear his days of playing for the national side were over.  

His recall just goes to show how bad the situation is. Indian cricket is completely down in the dumps right now. The selectors were so desparate they just had to get him back. With Dravid being ruled out of the first test because of a finger injury, the selectors and the Indian public are hoping Ganguly's inclusion along with V V S Laxman, will provide some stability to the Indian batting order. Laxman has by the way been made vice-captain for the test series.

It's going to be quite interesting to watch how the Chappell-Ganguly relationshop progresses from here. How can we forget the emails that were leaked, which had the Indian coach attacking Ganguly and vice versa. Will they be able to put their differences behind them and move forward...

Will Ganguly's return be the much needed motivating factor to get Team India back on track????  

A billion Indian hopes are riding on the Prince of Bengal.

Sourav Chandidas Ganguly Statistics

Born: 8 July 1972, Calcutta

Major Teams: Bengal, India, Lancashire.

Known As: Sourav Ganguly

Batting Style: Left Hand Bat

Bowling Style: Right Arm Medium

Profile:

          Saurav Ganguly, the Prince of Calcutta has a fan following of millions and that is justified

                        considering the number of winning knocks he has played for India. His batting is the perfect

                        blend of elegance and power. He has all the traditional style that goes with left handed

                        batsmanship. He is also a superb/ perfect timer of the ball. The manner in which he steps out

                        and pounces on the ball, like a tiger on a hapless prey, is something to be enjoyed on the spot.

                        He is one of the most aggressive Captain India has ever had and has emerged as one  thekey

                        components of the Indian team. His ability to play shots on the off side is special because there

                        are very few players who can hit the ball in that area as crisply as he does. He is an aggressive

                        left-handed batsman  and is also an effective (right-handed)  medium pace bowler. He tarted       his

                        international career as a 19 year old during the tour to Australia in 1991-92 where both his ability

                        and attitude was questioned. His recall for the 1996 tour to England was severely criticised as

                        one of the evils of India's "quota" system. But he answered that in style by not only scoring

                        centuries in his first two Test innings but also capturing vital wickets to bag the Man of the

                        series award. Still he was considered fit only for the Test matches because of his inability to

                        play onside strokes. He worked on that problem and became a household name in India after the

                        Sahara Cup in Toronto where he won several matches for India against Pakistan. Besides

                        several superlative batting performance (including 75* in 75 balls), he exploited the conditions to

                        return some excellent bowling figures (including 5-16). He is often criticised for his running

                        between the wickets and if he works on that, the way he has worked on his leg-side then he will

                        definitely become a formidable force in the World of Cricket.

His batting is the perfect blend of elegance and power. He has all the traditional style that goes with left handed batsmanship. With superb timing he almost caresses the ball to the boundary. But when the mood gets to him - particularly in the one day game - his batting can be a murderous assault on the bowlers and a delight to the spectators. The manner in which he steps out and pounces on the ball, like a tiger on a hapless prey, is something to be enjoyed on the spot.

But then Sourav Ganguly is not just strokes and class and powerful batting. He has a sound temperament and the ability to rise to the big occasion. Only a person who is mentally strong could have responded in the manner he did to widespread criticism to his selection for the tour of England in 1996. When he first went as a teenager to Australia in 1991-92 he was far from ready for the big time, despite his manifold gifts. By the time of his comeback, a mixture of talent and hard work had made Ganguly capable of the dream feat with which he launched his Test career. Since then, it has been impossible to envisage an Indian team in both forms of the game without him. On the strength of his figures and undoubted class, he has taken his place as among the `Big Three' of the Indian batting order. Few would deny him his place as probably the greatest Indian left hander of all time. And in the last year, he has also proved himself to be a tough, no nonsense captain. A record of four wins and only one defeat in his first six Test matches as captain - including a memorable series triumph over the formidable Aussies - augurs well for him as a leader.

Test Debut: India v England at Lord's, 2nd Test, 1996

ODI Debut: India v West Indies at Brisbane, World Series, 1991/92

Sourav Ganguly was a very happy man after India's majestic six-wicket win over arch-rivals Pakistan in what many had described as the mother of all battles.  

"It was a huge game back home, schools were closed offices were closed and we're so happy we could make everybody smile back in India," a smiling Indian skipper said after the contest, which saw the two sub-continental rivals lock horns in the international arena for the first time in three years.  

Ganguly also praised Sachin Tendulkar, whose 75-ball 98 at the top of the order paved the way for the Indian win. "He's been in great form and it's not the first time (that he has played a match-winning innings), he's a champion in one word and the knock he played is one of the best I've seen him play," Ganguly observed.  

With India now carrying eight points into the Super Six stage (four for beating one of the qualifiers and four more for their other wins), Ganguly went on to add justifiably that his team now had a bright chance of making the semi-finals.  

Tendulkar, who was deservedly named the Man of the Match, meanwhile, rated his match-winning knock as one of his best innings, despite missing his 35th ODI ton after being dismissed by a snorter from Shoaib Akhtar.  

"It's obviously one of the most important innings I've played and when it's a World Cup match against Pakistan that makes it a special innings and I'll put it right up there," the little master observed.  

"I was picking the line and length quite early today and felt very comfortable there in the middle from the moment of playing the back foot cover drive off Wasim," he added.  

Talking about his problems towards the latter half of his innings, Tendulkar said, "I started getting cramps and it went from bad to worse, there was a stage in the game when I even couldn't stand properly."  

Losing skipper Waqar Younis, for his part, blamed the Pakistan bowlers. "Looking at the total of 270 it seemed a good one, but unfortunately we didn't bowl that well, we bowled both sides of the wicket."  

He, though, gave credit to Tendulkar too.  

"A brilliant innings, I think getting 110 in the first 11 overs took the game away from us," Waqar accepted, adding, "India played much better than us today. When we took Sachin's wicket we thought we came back into the game, Dravid came in and played like he normally plays and it was an excellent role,that was required."  

Family

  Dad's Name : Chandi Das Ganguly  

  Wife's Name : Dona Ganguly  

  Ganguly was born to a life of luxury and comfort as he was the son of an affluent printer. Ganguly is perhaps one of the richest

  Indian cricketer of recent times. Ganguly's father presides over a big joint family of over 50 people, though they all do not live in

  the same house. There are 22 bedrooms in his house, and the family possesses over 20 cars.

  His first step towards cricket

  Ganguly's first step towards cricket was a happy accident of fate: Ganguly was not encouraged to play cricket because his

  parents wanted him to focus on his studies. But his elder brother Snehasish was an accomplished cricketer. He  was a

  left-hander so Sourav simply followed his brother and started playing  with left hand. It was convenient for him because he could

  thus use his brother's cricket equipment; for his fans, it was a blessed stroke of luck, for the joys of the left-handed drive in      cricket surpass almost everything else. One fine day during his holidays, Sourav asked his father to get him enrolled in a  

  cricket  academy as he was finding difficult to pass his time.

  Setbacks

  An under-15 Orissa cricket team happened to be in Calcutta, and Sourav happened to smash them with a century. Young  

  Sourav had found his métier. But the pain was yet to come. A hundred (121) for East Zone against West Zone in the Duleep

  Trophy in 1991 earned Sourav a place on the tour of Australia in 1991-92. He w

Answer 21

Its high time that Ganguly calls it a day. Even Laxman and Dravid are performing better than him. Now a days, even his captaincy looks out of sorts. I pity SRK.

Answer 22

no

Answer 23

But dada has been a great captain! It was frustrating to see his wicket fall at 5 runs but still Dada is a great player and he can bounce back......

EDIT:- I'm Chennai's fan!
