will miss you dada

Ganguly announced his retirement !! This was bit of shock to me but it was inevitable with the way selectors were ploying around him.

Few great things I like in him

Most important thing I like in Ganguly, is the way he made an amazing comeback into the Indian cricket team after being thrown out.. It was a huge mess.. & only the will power and determination of Ganguly that got him back into the team..

He is a great guy who had one of great offside shots and would come down the track and smack the bowler! Best compliment to his offside shots is well exemplified by Rahul Dravid , "on the off-side, first there is God, then there is Saurav Ganguly."

I love his leadership skills he would always back his decisions and never afraid to experiment. I would say he is the person who brought "never give up attitude" to indian team. This attitude has infected others too :) present breed of youngsters i feel are the fruits of his seeds.


Hail dada.... you are true sportsman and your life is inspirational not only to upcoming cricketers but your leadership spirit, innovative skills, never give attitude can be applied to all spheres of life.

Pavvya,

Nice old memories of dada in the
video, also nice comments about
him, here are my couple of
additions.
> He is the best captain India has
ever produced.
> India started winning overseas
under his captaincy.
> He brought in the major change of
getting the youth into the team
like sehwag, Yuvi, Kaif & Bhajji &
he always backed them when they
were going the rough patch in their
career.
> He was the only one who could
make aussies & english tase their
own medicine on & off the field.
> Ultimately his career got spoiled
by some imported chappal :)
