How is Ganguly going to add to India’s strength in the test matches?

Answer 1

Well the reason he is being brought back is due to his good domestic performance and the poor Indian performance. An immeadiate added strength would be his experience that he would bring to the side, as a batsman, and as a former captain. Only time will tell if he will perform, he better or else he might be axed again.

Answer 2

Ganguly is a man of excellence and he is back in the team by the virtue of that. How he will add value ? Yes it is correct , at this point in time, he is not the best batsman technically. But anyday , he has all the guts in his hearts to shake the bowler off. The same thing he showed when he was brought back for the Pakistan Test Match where he made 43 odd and when all other failed. It was revealed thru Chappel's word only , that , he fought mentally with shoib and won the 1st part till he came down to bat after Tea Break.
I am praying to the almighty to bring back Ganguly as a Captain first and then a batsman, though it should be the reverse way. Because , Team Chappel will become Team India again to reign over the other teams. The Boys in Blue needs a good turn around which Dada can only deliver by the virtue of his presence in the Team.

Answer 3

At first place i hardly see any strength in the present Indian team.Forget about adding strength to it. Next everyone performs better in the local matches to become a part of the Indian team or come back to the national team. But cannot compete the international standard and that too on a different soil. The greatest batsman of the era (????) Tendulkar (once compared with Don Bradman????) is failing continuously. It is the attitude that matters above the talent. I think all the team members (except for the few) have the talent but no attitude. They miserably crack under pressure including tendulkar, (some exception to Dravid). Our basics are very wrong. We have to go back to the basics and start true searching for talent on a land where 100 crores of people live. We are not committed to build up a true professional team. Why we should worry so much for Ganguly. We only make his pocket fill and ourself a stupid. He has done his bit and earned for the same. The selectors should look for a new talent and nurture them. When Fourteen gone from here can do nothing, including the great Tendulkar, what this Ganguly can do? Ganguly is a Kaboothar (pigeon). He is fit only to take out his shirt and whirl showing his bare chest. Well I can also do that, if I am given a chance. Any take? selectors?

Answer 4

Indian cricket Board has taken a hasty decision in selecting Ganguly. He is not the best player of fast bowling on bouncy pitches, may be once or twice he has palyed good knocks. Now that he is playing for a place in the side and in an atmosphere where he cannot expect great warmth it will be a great challenge for him to come out in flying colours. He can strengthen the middle order which looks bankrupt at present. But all said and done he deserves a chance the way he led India to some memorable wins, he needs to go out in all dignity that the most successful captain in India cricket team deserves.

Answer 5

I think he deserves this break after all he was key person behind the "Team India", and the world cup is very near, India needs anyone who can help it from its present fiasco. Ganguly is the man who did this before. I dont know if he is a good choice against pace, but again he has the experience to share and exploit this experience for the country. Well all the best for him.
Aah ya India,

Answer 6

It is a quick-fix by selectors in a panic situation after dismal ODI performance in SA. The whole reasoning behind leaving Ganguly out at first place was that he was prone to short balls. Will most (in fact all) of batsmen failing against short pitch balls in SA, it is only BCCI who can come up with such a daft idea of including Ganguly for test matches. Do they think he has learnt to handle short balls? I would be surprised if he achieves a single 50 in the series.

Answer 7

Well i want to tell you first that i think ganguly is the one of the finest left batsman of off side. As we see most of the bowlers in todays keep his line to off side so every team has to keep player like Ganguly . Today, there is no left batsman in indian team who
would compare to Ganguly.
He is also a good bowler,not very fast but he can bowl with a tite line, so he gives a option to the caption.Remember your main bowler cant bowl all the day. You have to give the bowl to your part time bowler to give refreshness to your main bowler.Ganguly is fit in this situation.
A player who has lot of experince and has the capability to hold the situation must be in the team.

Answer 8

ganguly will be very helpful in regrouping the indian team
because he has that skills to get into the mind of the players and the selecters.the indian team will get into the
same groove that they were in before when ganguly was
in the team.ganguly rules over the minds of the opposition

i think ganguly should be made the captain of the team,he
is senior, responsible and the ruler

Answer 9

Saurav Ganguly is India's most successful captain ever.His batting and bowling are good and it will definitely add strength to the India's embarrassingly worst team ever.

Answer 10

Ganguly the best left hand batsmen produced in India. definitely his presence in this Indian team, when the moral of team is very down. its make a huge difference.he's a very sound player.his aggression, mental strength, leadership quality & experience we cann't ignore. Now he is much more commited to the side. Now the captaincy presseure is not on him.So his fully consintration on his batting.Today Indian team require experience although we all know that the form is temporary but the class is permanent. In these conditions he prove himself.
