He is the right player and right Captain.
I dont know how an International Umpire can give out twice which can be easily spotted.That was really ridiculous.
Some felt he couldn't play the bouncer, others swore that he was God on the off-side; some laughed at his lack of athleticism, others took immense pride in his ability to galvanise a side. Sourav Ganguly's ability to polarise opinion led to one of the most fascinating dramas in Indian cricket. Yet, nobody can dispute that he was India's most successful Test captain - forging a winning unit from a bunch of talented, but directionless, individuals - and nobody can argue about him being one of the greatest one-day batsmen of all time. Despite being a batsman who combined grace with surgical precision in his strokeplay, his career had spluttered to a standstill before being resurrected by a scintillating hundred on debut at Lord's in 1996. Later that year, he was promoted to the top of the order in ODIs and, along with Sachin Tendulkar, formed one of the most destructive opening pairs in history.
When he took over the captaincy after the match-fixing exposes in 2000, he quickly proved to be a tough, intuitive and uncompromising leader. Under his stewardship India started winning Test matches away, and put together a splendid streak that took them all the way to the World Cup final in 2003. Later that year, in Australia, an unexpected and incandescent hundred at Brisbane set the tone for the series - Steve Waugh's last - where India fought the world's best team to a standstill. Victory in Pakistan turned him into a cult figure but instead of being a springboard for greater things, it was the peak of a slippery slope.

For the past few months, I've noticed that umpires of cricket, nowadays, are commiting wrongdoings that were not seen many years ago. They are now taking bribes at a much higher rate than ever before. Their decisions in international cricket are causing harm in crucial matches for which they will be responsible for, whoever wins or loses. Sourav Ganguly's case in England match was one such example, I guess.

if u were there the next day simon taufel gave ganguly and sachin out it came clearley(atleast in my paper) that simon taufel did it by mistake.he apologized to ganguly and ganguly said he had no hard feelings.simon also said thathe had not looked at the replay as he always does.so that is the reason

Though it is part of the game,it is unfortunate that Ganguly should be at the receiving end often.

Umpires have to take spot decision in split of second and they being human, mistakes do happen. One has to live with such situations.
