Saurav drama...


There was an unprecedented furore over the dropping of Saurav Ganguly from the Indian team. People of West Bengal seem to have taken it as a move directed against their very identity.

It's not easy to say what the Indian selectors had in their minds. But Saurav is back to the team. But what can he do as a batsman? The need for a batsman of his class is no longer felt on the dead wickets. Test cricket itself is facing death as pitches are prepared for the batsmen to trounce the bowlers. It's really a bad thing.

Both the batsmen and bowlers should have equal chances to make the game interesting.
