Whichever way you compare - Ganguly is/was/will be a better test player thanYuvraj.
was ? - agree
is ? - little to choose between them currently, although I would give Ganguly the upper hand by a slight margin. But then, I'm not the coach, am I ?
will be? - I'm not a prophet either
And captains have played despite poor forms..and accodring to Coach Ganguly has been doing a great job . Ganguly throwing a tantrum was certianly immature and I have mentioned it many times in this thread.
Yes of course, captains can either play on, or drop themselves. Its a choice they have to make. The coach provided him with his advice, heeding it was his choice completely, and ganguly is not to blame if he decided not to drop himself. However to reason that the coach cannot hence give his advice is faulty reasoning.
Since when ODIs have become a criteria for selecting a test team, In the tour game he performed better than both the players the coach thought better than him and in the following test he performed better than Yuvraj sort of proving his stance right.
Once again, you're using one game as the all-in-all deciding factor to differentiate between 2 players. Thats not on.
Ganguly may be egoistic and insecure but that doesn't make Chappell's action right. I have never twisted the facts, it is you who has been quoting tabloids and have not provided any source of your twisted imaginations and wicked assumptions.
Hypocrisy on your part. You have been proven a liar in the other thread already.
Not about dropping himself though.
If it was a suck-up coach, you're right. He wouldnt have gotten that frank advice he himself requested in the first place.
Once again your wild imaginations have gotten better of you. Ganguly can never be as good as Ganguly as batsman yeah and that's from the scorebooks of cricinfo.
eh? If your typo (I assume) meant to read Yuvraj/Kaif , see para 1 of this post. If it should have read Kumble, you cant fault me, I used the same logic you had employed in the post I quoted !
How many tests did Ganguly play under Greg ?
If Ganguly still cannot handle the short ball in one dayers ( as was exposed by Bond), and has to walk off as soon as the second new ball is taken in the tour game, only to return against the old ball, he wouldnt be inspiring much confidence in his coach, would he ?
They are just the tabloid stuff which you seem to trust so much. I was feeding you some more. Ironically it was said by one of the most reknown cricket journo in India (on his Blog)
Good for you. Keep reading.
Wow, Chappell just won an away series since 1986, he desrves the Paramveer Chakra for his job. What a great opposition it has been. If Greg can take this team to WC Finals, ICC trophy finals 2/3 times in a row,draw a series in ENG, AUS, win a series in Pak etc etc then he can be talked with Wright in the same breadth. (I am willing to put 1000 bucks against it though ). Wright did everything while Sourav was in the team. His man management skills were great. So dont even go there comparing Wright with Greg.
You're the one who started the comparison in an attempt to divert attention from the main topic. You seem to be under the impression that if you prove Wright was a better coach than Chappell, it would make the case against Chappell stronger. Unfortunately for you, most people realise that the issue at hand has little to do with comparison between the coaches' performances, and a lot to do with Ganguly's handling of the situation in question.
In that thread, I posted what Comissioner said. Obviously you were not seen anywhere near thread to know what he actually said. It's a pity that you still believe that those words posted by the Reporter in the tabloid was actually said by the Police Commissioner.
Its a pity you refuse to consider the fact that reporters add adjectives to any interviewees quotes. If they didnt follow that common practice, entire newspapers would be filled with reports in a quality of English that would make a school student cringe. You arent really that naive to believe that he words mentioned in reports are always the exact words of the interviewee, do you ?
As I said I dont need a certificate from you on my personality.
Then dont bring it up in the first place. Simple as that.
And I have already shown how lied (you kow Greg not invited for squad etc etc)
No, you havent Sanz
.All you've done is be a pedant to try and save face after I exposed your lies, where you led people to believe that Chappell was indeed present when the captain was being chosen. Talk of the thief accusing the police of his own crime !
I didn't bring my personal life, neither do I feel touchy. It's just none of your business. You can continue to talk about it (that's what I expect from tabloid reading people), and feel good about it.
Post #94, second last para. You brought up your personal life, as I said before. Is there any more bullshytting you have left ?
Although I have a feeling that you are feeling terrible after yourself. Did my posts make you angry Moo ?
Nope, just feeling pitiful re: your current position, and I can certainly sense your frustration at being exposed as a liar from here
.
I thought you had already parted when you said you wont be replying to me again, so I dont know if I should trust you this time. But I guess this time you will stay away as I have shown you your post which just touched your raw nerve there
Touched a funny nerve is more like it. Although the lack of any solid basis in your posts is amusing to a degree ( but nowhere near as amusing as todays episode of Seinfeld, I must admit. That Kramer...hehehee
), you are finally correct on one count - the matter of my returning. I do feel suckered into breaking my word and returning to post one more rebuttal. But I guess I should not have entertained hopes of reading atleast one solitary sane post from you. Ah, well. I guess its upto me to be the bigger man and let you have the last word
