Its time for Ganguly to bid goodbye to cricket.He should try something that he has talent for.He never had to work to earn his bread.Work, he never did.He was always lazy to the bone.When he toured the world with Kailash Ghatani juniors Lord Snooty was already well-known for his haughty airs.He was my senior in St Xavier’s Calcutta.But I neither saw the man nor his breath on the sprawling campus.With 22 cars in the garage, here was a man who scarcely needed to flex a single muscle in that body of his.He has always been rude, always indisciplined.According to the secretary of a major sports club in Cal, Mr S Das, Saurav never speaks to anyone on his own.You have to introduce yourself each time you meet him.He has been impolite to all the people who helped him on his way up in life.Even his father-in-law Mr Sanjib Roy whom I was extremely fortunate to meet once had few nice words for this man who loves the good things in life.
To Saurav Ganguly’s cricket.All his coaches are unanimous in stating that Ganguly completely lacks any batting skills.He neither has Dravid’s artistry nor Tendulkar’s controlled aggression.His playing is completely based on attacking the bowler come what may.He completely lacks any shots on the leg-side.On the off he is only slightly better.Much of his prolific scoring can be put down to luck and luck alone.The less said about his tepid bowling the better.His action would put a schoolboy to shame.The only saving grace is his captaincy which he considered to be his birthright.He is naturally of no use to anyone now and should go back to his fabulous riches.
