Sack for the sake of..

What's happening? Wither Indian Cricket? It's really disheartening to see raw politics annihilating the flavour of Indian Cricket. Was Ganguly made a scape goat? This needs to be discussed rightaway.

Operation Duryodhan has exposed the worst corruption of our worst Politics. In the same way 'some' Operation should be done for good of Indian Cricket.

True, Sourav Ganguly is not in the great form, but, still he amassed some good runs, which is enough to showcase his talent. What's more surprising is, replacing him with Wassim Jaffer. Can we find any logic in this gambling? For me surely not. What about Gautham Gambhir? Yes, no doubt, this young batsman is a sheer talent. But Ganguly is also no less talent. If 'performance' is the criteria for the sacking of Ganguly, as it is said, then, logically Gambhir should have been replaced, instead of former captain. Gambhir didn't produce any single noteworthy knock in the two tests against Srilanka.

There are few better batsmen than Wassim Jaffer. Hemang badani is an absolute performer who faced injustice all his way. There is Suresh raina. This young batsman, though didn't produced a big innings, still showcased his talent and skills in the very few innings he played.

OR, Is it a war between BCCI former chairman Jagmohan Dalmia and the present selection committee? Dalmia is the supporter of Ganguly. Hence, sacking of Ganguly meant to be directed against Dalmia. So, It seems like Ganguly was made a scapegoat of poly'tricks' and politics.
