ICC lifts two-match ban on Ganguly

[marc71178]

Did any body notice that india bowled 182 overs in the first 2 days aganist SA that is 2 moe than the req 180.so loyd did have some effect on ganguly

Yes great, but they had a team with one pace bowler in it, so 182 overs in 2 days is still pathetic.

this might be the firt time that under ganguly india had bowled more overs than req.

You are correct biased indian.

Ganguly was warned for slow over rates and it failed to motivate Ganguly to bowl the required 90 overs in 6 hours because he offended again. Lloyd took it one step further and banned Ganguly which has had the desired effect. The backdown from the ICC has undermined Lloyds ability to take the required measures to enforce the rule required by the ICC.

I dont think Lloyd has a problem with India, India have a problem with Lloyd.
I think Lloyds actions were fair and reasonable.

Probably around 200-225.

Hit it on the head Liam.

With that much spin bowling then only just scraping 15 overs an hour is awful.

Especially as the SA innings lasted just over 13 hours for 190.4 overs - which is actually not even scraping 15 an hour...

I dont get it...Ganguly made some valid points , there was an appeals process in place , he was found to be right....whats the fuss all about ?

Some people just love to hate Sourav. That is all. I know that he has slowed down a lot of games, but this was not one of them. I have maintained it all along and I think Lloyd over-reacted to that delay. I think you can only attribute 25% of the delay to Sourav and as such, I don't think he deserved that punishment. There have been times when he has slowed down games willingly, but most of those were before this new rule came in. I hope Sourav wakes up and does things right from now on.

 

[marc71178]

25% of that time is actually still a fairly large amount though!

Hope this won't deter Referees from more bans for slow overrates.
Especially in First-Class-cricket, this is a problem that really has needed addressing for some time now. In the one-dayers, well, the only problem is keeping to TV schedules - which is, nonetheless, a very important consideration. Keep the TV guys happy, you help earn yourself a nicer deal.

This gem from the cry baby Lloyd:

While addressing an audience at the Demerara Cricket Club Ground in Guyana, the most successful West Indian captain said, “It’s obvious that this guy (Sourav Ganguly) feels he is above the game, but we have rules.

“Cricketers need to play by the rules. Discipline is very important for the game’s future. The captain is responsible for his team and their performance on the field — if you are out there and your player misbehaves you are responsible.”

Another example of how moronic Lloyd and Bucknor have been in trying to exact revenge for the WI's 1983 world cup loss to India. There was an appeals process (Hello, Lloyd - the RULES were made by the ICC regarding the appeals process so YOU are the one who is now CRYING about the rules) and Lloyd was over ruled. This, is in-fact to weed out any bias that might creep in.

If you read's Lloyd's rantings carfeully Steve Waugh would have been banned a lon time ago based on how the Aussie players 'behved' on the field.

Lloyd's statements reek of his personal dislike for Ganguly - such a person does not deserve to be a match referee.

You got to be kidding me - either you are purposely looking for a reaction or you are just ignorant of the facts. See This gem from the cry baby Lloyd:

Priceless!

CC if you can post comments on issues you know naught about, why do you object to others doing the same.

Plus then your not the only one looking like a fool, or are you trying to keep that title all to yourself.
